@Mr_Cruz has got me thinking that Cape Verde is my next holiday destination."

Wonder how she'll get on with a cheap hotel search in the Cape Verde islands and a search for cheap flights.

How could anyone claiming to be an expert be taken by surprise at the cost of the internet? The parking I can maybe understand (although my guess is it was in the small print of your 'secret hotel'), because you drove there and had no choice, but internet, come on?

From a well known guide :cool:

Know Your Budget.
What can you really spend? Account for all costs.
A Priceline bid includes not only the actual bid amount, but taxes and a service fee bundled together.
Don't forget expenses that might be covered in a normal reservation,
for instance a free breakfast, internet access or parking fee that may or may not be included in the Priceline rate.

Maybe should book through Travelzoo offers?
