Miss Balanco - Clara Moreno

Advantages: Reliability, excellent customer service
Disadvantages: None apparent

...This might appear, on the face of it, to be another thumbs-up-yeah-great review but the author really means it. You see, when I have connected up to the 'net on business and at home for, well, both business and private use, I have had recourse to several ISPs' services through either their third party dialers or by using the operating system's own. I must say I have come across a few that have been awful. ClaraNet has been nothing short of exemplary. ONLINE This must be the most important aspect - only once in 2½ years have I ever experienced downtime. I was fortunate to use another ISP to get connected, so that was no real problem. I can see it being a pain for someone wholly reliant on one provider, but this having affected me only once is not really a major issue. The dialup I was restricted to was Lo-call Rate, whereas a friend... Read review

Advantages: Good Accomodation & location
Disadvantages: Pools not heated, uphill walk from beach

...sells a variety of esssential items for your stay. There is also a fantastic greek restaurant (Greek Village is the name, I think) It was very very nice, so much that we dined there 3 times during or stay. The beach is quite a bit away. Probably a good ten minute walk, downhill. There you can participate in the usual watersport activities or hire a sun lounger and top up your tan. The beach is nice and sandy and the water doesn\'t get too deep too quickly. The sea wasn\'t as cold as the pools! There are plenty stalls & restaurants along the beach front as well as the \"looky looky\" men. We didn\'t seem to get the same amount of hard sell for dinner here as you get in Teneriffe but maybe that is because it was the height of summer we when he stayed there. Our main reason for staying at Santa Clara Bungalows was the proximity... Read review

Advantages: Good Acting
Disadvantages: Unoriginal story

...The Western once such a popular genre for movies has declined in popularity since it's heyday in the 50's, it briefly was reinvented in the sixties as the Spaghetti Western and although it maintained a presence in the mainstream in the 70's it was effectively killed off by the sci-fi movies from Star Wars and beyond. This means that when we get a western made these days it is a rarity. There have been a few fine examples in recent years (The Unforgiven, The Quick and the Dead) and there just might be a slight resurgence. 'The Missing' on the surface looks very much in the traditional mould of a classic western even its storyline has echoes of the John Ford's classic 'The Searchers', although some elements do also seem to embrace more recent themes of realism and the supernatural. THE PLOT Maggie is a healer trying to make... Read review
