Vincci Albayzin Hotel, Granada, Spain

I am a day or two slow at talking about this beautiful hotel in Granada, but let’s be honest here. The weather has been unusually HOT and when you are travelling, it can take it’s toll on the old body of mine.

The lobby, as with any hotel that Insight has put us in, has been top-notch. The bathrooms are all different, but with a little patience and a sense of humor, it all works out.

The breakfasts in this hotel was wonderful and we had a fabulous dinner in the hotel dining room one evening. We had musicians there for a few moments (they had two other restaurants to go to (for Insight), but you are guaranteed great meals.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating and you have nothing to worry about.

If you travel to Spain and Portugal and wish to find wonderful, clean and welcoming hotels, this should be one of them.

Insight Vacations Trip Through Spain and Portugal

We are coming to the end of this segment of our vacation and I would be remiss if I didn’t comment on what we received, where we went and how we were treated.

We have been on the road now for two weeks with this company. We have a wonderful, careful, pleasant young driver from Portugal we call Joel. Sorry ladies, as handsome as he is, he has a girlfriend. A wonderful gentleman.

We have received with great passion more history on the different areas we have been to; hints about shopping, foods to try or avoid as the case may be, and always with a smile, cute joke or assistance from our wonderful guide, Elena. This lady had a monumental task ahead of her when we first met.

For example, she has to advise (warn?) the various hotels we will be staying in, trying to please 39 passengers from different partsĀ of the world with foods, placesĀ to go to, assistance and understanding for those who may require it.

Through it all, we were plied with information, pictures of historic people, events and architecture, finding lost or late passengers and keeping a schedule. Elena does all this and more, and truly is a gem in the Insight diadem.

Did we have an easy time booking this vacation? Absolutely.

We asked them to book our airflights, advising them who we preferred . Insight to the rescue, again.

The biggest question people ask us is; would we travel with them again? Absolutely with great haste. There is no better way to travel and see new places, things and a history lesson as well. Fascinating.

We began as 39 strangers and we end as 39 friends.
