    It's better, although I don't like landing pages, but that's more a
    personal preference.

    You need to sort out the photos page to do something better when the
    visitor isn't running javascript.

    "You really, really need to enable JavaScript to view this page.You know,
    it's about JavaScript. And it will make your life much easier, but it's up
    to you."

    Is that patronising or condescending? I'm never quite sure, but it's sure
    to put me off visiting again.

    Plus the text shows up behind the photos, so it's difficult to read. I
    had to view the source to pull it out.

    Javascript isn't needed to have a photo page, so either make the page work
    without it too, or put a polite message, at the top or bottom where it can
    be read (and not in red).

    On the Tariffs page: "If you wish to add 5 euros, the continental
    breakfast is available to you." It's the wrong way round.

    What gets me is viewing the source of your messages, they claim to be utf8,
    but all I see is silly characters. Why's that then? (My newsreader defaults
    to utf8).

    Just pick a more obscure suffix. .fr or whatever. I do it with .es. Just
    checked, arsewipe.es is available for example. I already have
    culitofresquito.es.

    Actually, I don't care. Put me down for a single room.

    Are you sure? Here we have the euro symbol after the number. Just been and
    looked, it's now spelled out.

    I get the same with your messages in Spanish, but only at work when using
    XNews.

    Ah, I didn't see that, I'll find the script and change it.
    ? Not seen that.
    I was going for a fancy and professional look, but it looks like it's not
    worked. I'll knock up something more simple.
    Noted.

    It is, but TOG was talking about the English pages, so he's correct. I need
    to check the French ones.

    Here too. Look at the escribió at the top of this page - it shows up as a
    funny A with some superscripted letter following.
