According to our research, today is the first happy day of 2012! What a reason to smile hey? Most of us have now been paid and started to think about booking holidays and all the fun things we can do this year, now the post Christmas blues are done and dusted. Plus this year, we [...]
A SUCCESSFUL holiday is a gumbo consisting of many varied ingredients but the foundation, certainly for a summer escapade, is universal – the sun. You could break the bank and head to the Caribbean, of course, but even there you’re not guaranteed clear blue skies to provide a luxurious roof to your beach holiday. Or [...]
Rob Foster was the lucky winner of a family holiday to Sanguli in 2011, here is what he thought… I couldn’t believe my luck when I was announced as the winner of a holiday with Al Fresco Holidays on Twitter. The PR company were quickly in contact and put me in touch with the fabulous [...]
A PICTURE SAYS A THOUSAND WORDS Here at Al Fresco HQ, we have been looking back over all the lovely photos submitted for our recent Facebook camera giveaway. There’s beaches, pool shots, stunning vistas plus much much more. In fact, it’s making us look back at the Summer that’s just gone and the next coming [...]
