MY ANSWER: If I am going to the trouble of going to another country, I want
the hotel to be on the beach., unless it's a REAL bargain. To me, a bargain
is a room that costs $80 or less in a good area.

ANSWER: It better be a very nice room.

though.

ANSWER: No. It is hard for me to get time off. Unless the room was
inexpensive but nice.

 3.- I wouldn´t mind if I can not see the sea from my room and a little cart

QUESTION: (Which may negate the above): Have I just spent all day kayaking
in a beautiful place? If so,  that makes a big difference. I will be too
tired at night to notice where my room is. I want it to be at least Holiday
Inn quality, though. No Motel 6 for me. I am spoiled rotten. LaQuinta is
good. I like LaQuinta. They take dogs with no questions and they have a
waffle maker at breakfast.

> I thank you very much for your comments.

ANSWER: My answers are slightly wine-affected. One glass. It is cold and
rainy here.
