Chris Anderton Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Guys, We are not sure of our dates yet but we will be there for the weekend. I was just looking at hotels on the net to get an idea, for a 9 night stay (2people in one double room) there are a lot of hotels around £800 to £1000 but I`ve found a hotel called the Ariminum thats quoting less than £500...its 4star...does anyone know the hotel or has anyone stayed there....?? Looking at a map it seemd quite close to the venue. Anyone else get a good deal on a hotel....? Details please!! Cheers, Chris Link to comment

Cheers, Chris Chris You could try sending a pm to safc soulboy (Ewan) as they have just booked their hotel & had a bit of a nightmare by all accounts. His wife Deb booked somewhere & paid for it, I think it was about £800.00. Then for some reason she decided to change hotels, either there was something she didnt like about this one or she had found a better one. She booked & paid for the other one, but then found out that she couldnt get her money back for the first one straight away & it would take 10 weeks to get it back. I'm only going on what my hubby told me as he is best friends with Ewan. I know they spent quite a while looking at different hotels & they are going for a week. Best of luck Kirsty Link to comment

There are loadsa hotels in the area, a real cheap one directly accross the street from the venue although I recommend getting a hotel with airco it gets easy 30+° there at that time of the year and doesnt cool down much. If you come out at 05.30am in the morning and then go to bed you of course get the daytime temperatures. Nancy Yahiro is your best bet for info. Good venue if you like the Arthur Fenn style of music not much of one if you don't. Chris L on info. Link to comment

Good venue if you like the Arthur Fenn style of music not much of one if you don't. Chris L on info. =============== Chris is right about the style of music if last year was anything to go by, having said that, I LOVED it, personally think Arthur is brilliant! One thing to watch out for, you have to pay to go on the beach, not a major problem, but it is a bit misleading, because we thought as we were attached to a hotel, we had access to their private beach. This is NOT the case, as the hotels don't actually own the beach. All they have is said access to a little piece of it. When you get there, you have to pay to be on it, even though it's usually empty One other thing, watch your valuables, one friend had money stolen inside the venue, and the thief even put her purse back in her bag. IMO though, a really good weekender, well worth going to. Winnie;-) Link to comment
Guest Soulbrew Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Right on peeps... My mate Simone just gave me some juicy info y'day/ The flyers with the program will be available sometime this week. There will be a list of Hotels as usual. I suppose I'll post it here somewhere when a jpeg version will be available. Beaches. I'm afraid it is not true you have to pay to access to the beaches. You do have to pay if you want your folding chair & shade but if you bring your towel (and factor 35 if you live north of Watford...) and stay within 10 yards from the sea nobody can't tell you to leave. see you there, Marco Link to comment
Soulsmith Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Following on from Winnie's thread another item to watch out for is drinks being spiked. Last year in Rimini a young girl had her drink spiked at some time during the evening. She became violently ill in the club and and collapsed. One of the ladies with us (and a S/source contributor) gave her the 'kiss of life' whilst waiting for the ambulance. The girl made was kept in hospital overnight, but made a full recovery. Just be careful. Link to comment

There were 4 of us there, we were asked to pay for sun loungers (around 20 euros per day) so we said we'd just sit on the sand. 10 minutes later one of the guys came along and said, they own that part of the beach, could we move right to the front. It is clearly marked but a very small area. As I said not a major issue, but it did happen Marco. winnie;-) Link to comment

Girthdevon Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 so what was you actually looking at when you walked into the trees! (the nice beach and sea!) I can't really remember at all. I've got a complete blank from about 2am on Saturday morning til about 3 in the afternoon. I actually woke up in the hotel room with no recollection of getting back there, or of playing my second DJ spot at 5 or 6 in the morning, and worst of all I didn't have my two record boxes. It wasn't until a while later that I gained entry into the club to check they were there - and they weren't . It was serious panic stations until they were found in the cellar of the bar, next to & connected to the club. They had been moved there by the cleaners after the allnighter . The only reason I can remember what this tree looked like is cos Johnny pointed it out the following day, and told me what i'd been doing. I still can't remember a single thing of that morning, and neither can my mates Russ & Lee. We have all since wondered whether the girl getting spiked was a lone incident Seriously Girf Link to comment

I've just said that they can't tell you to leave as long as you stay within the said distance from the sea. Needless to say, the steward will still harass you to death to push you to leave... In fact the closest you get to the beach, the fresher it gets !!! Keep it secret! Marco Link to comment

Anyone recomend the best web- sites to have a look at...checked out expedia and Venere.....Expedia are saying Park is booked for all of the dates i put in..........where did you book your hotel? Cheers, Chris Most of our group have done all four of the previous weekenders although I had to miss the 2nd one. It makes us veterans at this really . We're not up for revealling all our secrets, but just be aware that hotel prices can wildly differ between websites for the same hotel (eg. 96 euro on most websites for a particular 4 star hotel double room, but only 74 on another one!). (...I spend lots of time researching these things - I had to book 3 hotels in 3 different countries just last week and it's probably sending me broke soulin' everywhere! ) If you look at the map on venere.com for Rimini (attached), you will see various zones of Rimini. I would suggest that you stick to hotels near the beach in the areas of MARINO CENTRO or LUNGOMARE MURRI, if you want to be close to the venue. Prices get cheaper heading south towards MIRAMARE if you're ok with a long walk (took me about an hour to reach the end of Miramare from Marino Centro) or there's a regular bus that you can buy tickets at the newsagent for ( - you validate these on the bus and they last 2 hours). There are loads of websites out there, some of the Italian ones have hotels that the others don't (eg. www.beach33.com includes the Monti). My friend google is a great pal to use for finding websites to look up the hotel name and compare prices. Major websites that may be worth a look/comparison for hotels include: https://www.hotel-rates.com/italy/rimini/ https://www.booking.com/city/it/rimini.html https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g187807-...gna-Hotels.html https://www.hotelsitalyonline.com/cities/rimini_frm.htm https://www.laterooms.com/en/k13658839_rimini-hotels.aspx https://www.hoteltravel.com https://www.hotelclub.net/hotel.reservations/Rimini.htm https://www.traveleurope.it/itinerari/r/rimini.shtml https://riminiit.ags.myareaguide.com/hotels.html https://travel-italy-hotel.riminibeach.it/rimini-hotel I hope this helps, m .
