The food was excelent, staff very helpful
The tub didn't work lighting in bathroom very dim
The food was great and the grounds and the pool were fantastic, also the owner Jordan was very nice and helpful. And I had a good massage!
The fact that there wasn't enough hot water to fill the jacuzzi tub, and the stairs at night needed a night light!
Room was comfortable, spacious and clean. Pool was well maintained and the food in the restaurant was good.
The room was street facing and next to the restaurant, so there was some noise and because the balcony let to the restaurant there was little privacy out in it.
Location Cheap
I booked a room for 2 nights at 80$ they want me to charge a 5% for paying with debit card, I disagree because that wasn't on the terms and conditions when I booked. So they only charge in CR currency with the exchange they want. I'm from Costa Rica, I will not return there. Hot water is intermittent, Lot of noise from other rooms, the odor from toilets from other rooms are perceptible from our room
The price is great and the room was tranquil. We had the suite overlooking the pool and very much enjoyed our stay. It is close to Puerto and is only a couple minute walk. We will be staying again and bringing the children next time. They will definitely enjoy the pool.
The parking was the only thing that I had any concerns about. It is off of the main road but is not really secure and is very dark if you arrive back at your room in the evening. I would recommend a bit more light and some type of security. Not a big deal though, just don't keep things in your car.
The staff made this place. Two ladies in particular were very helpful and researched details of dentists nearby, speaking to them to arrange an appointment.
Lots of bugs and ants in room on first night. But this is expected as it's surrounded by jungle! No bad points really.
I loved the tranquil property design. They have a awesome pool and even a SLOTH GARDEN where sloths can be seen while you are swimming. The family who owns this place where some of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met. They not only provided the best service me and my family could ask for but they completed every request and question with the utmost love. The rooms are decorated with a romantic and Japanese inspired way with air condition! Cant wait to go back!
Liked garden and the pool. The staff were very friendly. Room size was big. Stayed in the double room which cost 40$. Loved all the wildlife and the geckos running around everywhere.
Wifi was only avail in the restaurant, not in the room.
We read some mixed stuff regarding the location, but do not fear it is not kilometres from the centre of town. The sea is basically across the road (not that you would want to swim in it there) and it is a 5 to 10 minute walk to the amenities of town, but it is non stop shops, restaurants etc on the way so you are not in the middle of nowhere. There is a good Soda just across the road which does well priced and tasty cakes as well as other things. Bike rental place a few minutes out of town (as you leave Lotus Garden, right, on the right side of the road, it is a small place run by an Italian called Ivan) and we would recommend the cycle to Punta Uva for a few dollars. We were greeted by the owners who were friendly and helpful, showing us the sloth in the garden, etc. We took advantage of a promotion and got a air con room for $5 cheaper than normal. We also saw the non-air con rooms which are much further back from the pool/reception area and not as well decorated. The paving slabs were very slippery in the rain, so perhaps having to walk more on these would be an issue; however we felt that for the increase in money the air con rooms were not really worth the price. Non-air con rooms were also bigger and still nice, but we didn't choose them because since they were surrounded by trees etc, we thought there would be more mosquitoes, etc at night. On the other hand, these rooms may have been perfect to avoid the bar noise at night. Bed was a good size and sleep was okay except the final night where loud music from a bar kept one of us awake till the early hours (never forget your earplugs wherever you go!). We had no humidity issues and the air con was very useful. Pool and gardens nice.
We were offered a room next to the swimming pool in the first place, but we realised it had a power generator or something like that in the wall, so they recognised sometimes it could be a little bit noisy. For that reason they offered us the one above it. At dusk we wouldn't recommend to be at the pool, it was full of mosquitoes in a second. Like other places in Costa Rica no mosquito nets were provided which we find odd. Only place we stayed on this trip that did not provide breakfast of any sort, and when combined with the fairly high price I think better value needs to be achieved. All that needs to be provided is bread and jam and that is the breakfast tick done and brings hotel more in line with competitors. The aforementioned paving slabs in a Gaudi-esque style were pretty but potentially lethal in the rain. Doors to balcony were not the easiest to open. Mattress was probably worse we came across in our trip and springs could be felt through it, pillow was also too thin so I had to use a t-shirt for head support. No wardrobe, however the bed frame came in very useful for hanging towels, wet clothes etc. I am not sure this was its intended purpose but it sure came in useful. This was one of the more expensive rooms we had in Costa Rica and was not one of the best, however it was fine. The room looked good, but there was a damaged floor which could easily injure someone. I stuffed it with paper to reduce risk of injury, but housecleaning removed this. Big whirlpool bath looked good, but only shower part worked, and there was no shower curtain. We suspect this is where the cockroaches came from as we had a daily visit despite killing the ones that came. We did see cockroaches in one other hotel on our trip and understand this is the tropics, so no problem. Sink was on a kind of ledge which meant washing was more difficult than it should be as you couldn't get your feet close to the base of sink.
Good b&b small hotel. Very well located walking distance to Puerto Viejo downtown where you can find nice restaurants.
They will charge you more if you pay using credit card instead of cash. They only accept Visa.
The bugs in the room
Swimming pool,,food was excellent,location,staff we're friendly
No Mosquito net in room,
Nice rooms, near to the beach, natural environment, friendly people
I wanted to be able to pay with my Debit card (BAC San Jose) that was something that disappointed me a lot because i thought that if a reserved in booking using my debit card certainly I was expecting to pay with it (no cash) once i arrive to the hotel. For me would be great you to include debit cards as a payment method.
The Lotus Garden is across the Stanfords one of the more beautiful beaches in Puerto Viejo, close to restarurants and the main avenue with local markets and the fun in the place. the town is quite small so is hard to be "away" from the important places, but the location is quite good. The staff speak english and spanish and are open to answer most questions, the restaurant is good. We were in the yakuza room, it doesn't have A/C and next to japanese pools that are not well maintained, we didn't see other rooms but yakuza was ok with private bathroom. Overall the hotel was fine, not bad.
Pools outside the room were not well maintained. There are several papers in the room stating that CR is not safe and keep everything in a safe box but our wasn't working, so we didn't understand what's the point with that.
We came at 10pm and reception was closed, There is no wifi at apartment, Jacuzzi didn't work
The only book for two night
Room smelled fungus,and musty ,no place where hunt ours cloth, no outlet where to use my own hair dry and totally uncomfortable
Everything. They were all very helpful and polite. Traveling alone in a foreign country for the first time , it was nice to be treated so well. Like family.
Having to leave.
Central location
Noise from the town, this is definitely a party town and if you do not party, you will not get a good nights sleep.
Amazing staff and location we have the lucky to see a sloth and here baby on the ground climbing a tree , wanna c a sloth got go here at leadt for dinner or lunch !
The sounds of the batrats outside our roof.
We arrived without one of our bags and the staff was very kind to wash our clothes for us so that we would have something clean to wear. The staff was very pleasant and helpful throughout our entire stay, and the location of the hotel was excellent.
The rooms and the property in general were rundown and not worth the $60.+ a night. The shower consisted of a Jacuzzi with a hand held shower which never got very hot and the water just trickled. The rooms were very dark and my biggest peeve of all, toilet paper was not allowed in the toilet! No wifi!

Talk about uncomfortable looking. The Parra x The Perfect Unison Headphones headband is crafted from
birch – that's wood people – and stylized by artist Dutch artist Parra. I couldn't tell you much more than that, but they'll surely make a statement. Looks like they're due in France sometime soon.

Proud of NHS
LAST Sunday I had the pleasure and honour to represent the people of Redditch at a Service in Worcester Cathedral to celebrate and acknowledge the work of all the staff and volunteers in the NHS.
LAST Sunday I had the pleasure and honour to represent the people of Redditch at a Service in Worcester Cathedral to celebrate and acknowledge the work of all the staff and volunteers in the NHS.
WHENEVER I visit another part of the country it makes me realise what an excellent refuse collection system we have here in Redditch.
TIME distorts memory, but I have the impression that years ago I was told that the Royal Yard (where Debenhams is now) was given for use as the winter headquarters of the local fair families.
Have the hospital management at the Alex taken a look at their emergency entrance/exit lately.
When are the CCG's , NHS England and the Worcester Hospital Trust going to admit the University of Birmingham Hospital Trust's option for the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch was never going to be looked at, as it would take money away from paying towards an expensive white elephant that was built in Worcester.
I AM disgusted no notification was given that the 247 bus service would be changing. Not until I saw a copy of the new bus timetable on August 26 did I know these would change from September 1.
FOLLOWING my decision not to support a council review of the Tudor Grange Academy proposals, I have come under much criticism that I feel is unjust.
LAST weekend was to be a community partnership march and bandstand events alongside Redditch first Music Festival but because of the awful weather on Saturday morning and the ongoing forecast, the march was cancelled.
FEW people in Bromsgrove seem to be aware of the proposal to switch off lights from 10-11pm on Monday, August 4, and put a candle in the window to mark the tragic start of the First World War.
I LIVE at the bottom of the Holloway in Droitwich, which is in a conservation area of the town. 0pposite my cottage is a grade II listed wall which was sprayed with offensive graffiti over six months ago.
COUNCILLOR Michael Webb's Jewel in the Crown has a major flaw which will reduce participation in community sport. How can this be a sensible plan for the future of the Dolphin Centre when the population of Bromsgrove is increasing and the need for sports facilities has never been greater?
ANIMAL Aid would like to thank the people of Redditch for their generosity in raising £264.65 at a street collection on Saturday June 28. The money will help fund our peaceful campaigns and our important educational work on all aspects of animal cruelty.
I WOULD like to draw readers attention to the proposed changes in Redditch Library.
AS an Alcester resident, I recently received the local Conservative 'In Touch' magazine, which states "… over the next few years we will likely see further development in Alcester". How can this be justified?
BATTLEFIELD Memorial Tours is looking for people interested in going to Normandy for the D-Day commemorations in early June.
WE write to express our concern over Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service's plans to downgrade Alcester Fire Station to a part-time operation only two years after the closure of Studley Fire Station and the commissioning of a whole-time crew at Alcester.
I WOULD like to thank so many people for their kind words of support following my resignation from Worcestershire County Council and I have been truly inspired by some of the wonderful people I have met over the last 12 months.
MY mother, Hilda George (Anne), was hospitalised for three months at the Alexandra before passing away at Heathbrook Nursing Home.
I WOULD like to thank Redditch Chinese Association for their fabulous display at the Kingfisher Centre.
ACCORDING to Redditch MP Karen Lumley, making a child inhale what she herself called "dangerous second-hand smoke" is as she puts it, "an unnecessary private matter with which the state should not be concerned". So let's take it that the state should not be concerned when it foots the bill to treat the child's damaged lungs in the years to come, shall we Karen?
I FOUND a gold ring in St Andrews Square Shopping Centre, Droitwich, in October.
I RECENTLY went to the household waste site and was very impressed with the help that the staff gave to people using this facility.
I AM surprised Jim Foley, the author of a recently published letter, felt motivated to accuse me of "playing petty politics" in response to a letter that I also had published in this newspaper.
AS a member of Redditch Council's planning committee, I am somewhat taken aback by the Labour group's recent confused decisions on planning in the town.
FOLLOWING some particularly negative campaigning by the Labour Party during the local elections, I would like to put the record straight regarding UKIP policy on health services.
HAVING witnessed the actions of Redditch council blocking off the town centre by parking large vehicles across the roads to prevent Tom Wilson's funfair from gaining entry to the town centre to set up his equipment and open his funfair, I must say how disgusted I am.
I must say I am dismayed at the actions of Redditch Council blocking roads to stop Mr Wilson setting up his funfair in the town. What a miserable lot they are. We used to be able to enjoy ourselves in Redditch.
We were appalled to learn that the local showmen have been prevented from setting up the funfair in the town centre. The Wilsons have, for generations, held a funfair in the town centre for a week in September. In the past the fair has been sited around the church green, the top of Unicorn Hill, Royal Yard and Alcester Street.
WHEN a candidate circulates a letter prior to an election that states they will work hard to do something, invariably the electorate are let down post-election.
AS a member of Redditch Local History Society, I was alerted to Mettis Aerospace's open day.
ON JULY 16, our car was properly parked outside of the Alms Houses in the Birmingham Road, Alcester.
THE town centre management are crying about Asda wanting to open at the B&Q site yet have only themselves to blame.
CAN anyone explain to me how our local libraries have been able to increase their borrowing charges by such astronomical amounts? As a regular borrower of spoken word CDs, I have been faced with a 33 per cent increase.
I WRITE to support Councillors Mallett and Bloore's push for a feasibility study into a western bypass for Bromsgrove.
MANY parents, pupils and teachers in Redditch schools are rightly concerned about the proposed change to the age range at Tudor Grange Redditch, Ridgeway Middle School and two first schools, changes which would undermine the existing three-tier system.
I READ with disgust that a Redditch man found with drugs and an offensive weapon (Redditch & Alcester Advertiser, June 25) escaped a jail term despite being on a suspended sentence. The reason for this? Because he was 20.
I HAVE lived in Redditch for nearly 20 years and, as a horse rider and owner, had kept my horses in the Upper Bentley area for 14 years.
I was really pleased to read your article saying that Labour shadow health secretary Andy Burnham actually went to Worcester and experienced the difficulties that anyone having to use the Worcester Royal Hospital incurs.
I HAD a fall on Good Friday outside the Iceland Store in Redditch.
AT a recent meeting, we met officers and the deputy leader of the county council to advocate the development of Barnt Green Station as an interchange point for the Redditch and Bromsgrove lines.
I WOULD like to thank all businesses and schools in Astwood Bank, Crabbs Cross, Hunt End and Oakenshaw who collected for this year's Poppy Appeal.
IT'S pointless, not to mention disingenuous, for Karen Lumley MP to protest that Worcestershire has no bias against women when it comes to selecting parliamentary candidates.
I BELIEVE most residents of Church Hill are happy with the new centre that's recently opened, although it's going to be a bit chaotic, when the old one is being demolished and rebuilt.
I WAS interested in your report regarding "Making full use of minor injury unit".
I READ in the Redditch Advertiser an article about how accident and emergency struggles with patient surges at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
ON the subject of losing our buses and filling in questionaries.
If I could reassure Mr Vincent, I did attend the Christmas Craft Fair at Forge Mill.
IT was with great disappointment that I read the letter from Don Vincent in the Redditch Advertiser regarding Karen Lumley MP attending the Victorian Christmas Craft Fair at Forge Mill Museum.
A KINGSWINFORD firm is celebrating a double win at the Black Country Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.

The Campaign to End Child Poverty has today published new figures showing that London contains 14 out of the top 20 local authorities with the highest rates of child poverty across the UK.
Ebola epidemic (update)
As stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "the 2014 Ebola epidemic is the largest in history, affecting multiple countries in West Africa". Since the first map series published here in August, an additional 5367 cases and 2294 deaths have occurred, resulting in a total case count of 7492 and a total number of deaths of 3439 for the current outbreak according to the most recent updated published on October, 3rd. These significant changes change the shapes of the cartograms published six weeks ago, not least because the current outbreak exceeds all previous Ebola cases counted since 1977, as the following maps show using the most recent data:
Germany's Population Growth and Decline
Some time ago I have published an analysis of the changing demographies of Germany on this website (see also the map at the end of this post). I used the data from this analysis to develop some further cartogram visualisations that put the increase and decline into the focus, showing how heterogeneous these trends are evolving spatially in Germany. The following maps show gridded cartogram transformations of population change in Germany in which each grid cell (representing an equal physical space) is resized according to the total estimated population increase (right map) or decline (left map) in the period of 1990 to 2010. They show, how population patterns chances in the first two decades after reunification:
Aye & naw: Scotland's referendum mapped
55.25% of the votes cast at last week's independence referendum in Scotland were 'No' according to the Electoral Management Board for Scotland (EMB), meaning that Scotland stays a part of the United Kingdom. While the results have been mapped all across the media (I recommend Olli O'Brien's interactive map for that one), I haven't come across and cartogram visualisation so far. So here we go…the missing map of the Scotland Independence Referendum 2014: The first two maps show a cartogram of the Scottish Local Government Areas resized according to the total number of votes cast at the referendum. The colours on top of the maps show the (remarkably high) turnout on the left map – apart from Glasgow (75%) and Dundee (78.8%) was above 80% in all areas, figures unseen in any democracies in recent years (compare this for example to the turnout at this year's European elections or at last year's general election in Germany). The map on the right shows the share of votes going to either side of the campaign:
So you think you know about the United Kingdom?
For those not living in the United Kingdom it sometimes is a bit confusing what this strange little island next to Europe is all about. There is the United Kingdom, Great Britain, and there are England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. There is Westmister, but also Holyrood and the Welsh and Northern Irish Assembly. A lot of confusing responsibilities for such a small island.
The following series of maps shows the United Kingdom and its different countries in a series of population cartograms and explains the different countries that it consists of. Continue reading
In Focus: European Parliament elections 2014
In an article for the "In Focus" section of Political Insight (September 2014, Volume 5, Issue 2) we looked at the results of this year's election to the European Parliament.
In May 2014 the citizens of the 28 member states of the European Union (EU) went to the polls to elect the 751 new Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). The distribution of seats in the European Parliament is not directly proportional to each country's total population. A so-called 'degressive proportionality' principle gives small countries a few more seats than what would have been the case if strict proportionality were applied. The voter turnout across the EU was 43%. Belgium and Luxemburg have the highest rate of voter participation (90%). On the other hand, the smallest voter turnout is observed in Slovakia (13%) and the Czech Republic (19.5%), whereas the United Kingdom had the 11th lowest rate in Europe (36%). More than 90% of all elected MEPs belong to one of the seven political groups of the European Parliament. There is a minimum of 25 members needed to form a political group and at least one quarter of all member states must be represented within this group.
The map series in the article presents the geographical distribution of the votes across member states. All countries in these maps are shaded using a rainbow colour scheme, starting with shades of dark red to demarcate the countries with the most recent association with the EU and moving through to a shade of violet for the oldest member states.

London - Paul Gascoigne's life may be in danger, the troubled England football hero's agent said late Saturday.
Terry Baker told BBC radio that the former Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio and Rangers star, who has battled alcoholism and depression for many years, "immediately needs to get some help".
He spoke as shocking pictures of the 45-year-old, looking bloated and dishevelled, appeared in Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper.
"I heard from Paul this evening and my best assessment would be - and I've told him this - he immediately needs to get some help," said Baker.
The agent said Gascoigne had seemed "fairly incoherent" when they spoke on Saturday evening.
"Maybe no one can save him," he added. "His life's always in danger because he is an alcoholic, as he says."
Baker said his client drunk before a charity event last Thursday and had insisted on appearing on stage, against his advice. Gascoigne had to be led from the stage "shaking uncontrollably", Baker said.
Appealing directly to the former star, Baker said: "Paul, listen to me because you know I've got your best interests at heart -- you must do what you know you must do."
Known to fans as "Gazza," Gascoigne made 57 appearances for England and is considered one of the most talented English players ever.
He is best known for his exploits at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he helped England reach the semi-finals.
But he has struggled with addiction and depression since retiring in 2004 and has spent time in rehabilitation clinics, as well as undergoing treatment for bulimia and obsessive compulsive disorder.
He was detained twice under the Mental Health Act in 2008.
The former star was given a suspended prison sentence in 2010 after admitting drink-driving, while a separate charge of drink-driving was dropped in 2011.
He has also been involved in a much-publicised row with his ex-wife.
Baker said Gascoigne had been in a fragile mental state in recent days, after a friend "died while they were holding his hand".
"It's haunting him," Baker told the BBC.
He described Gascoigne as "the nicest, most generous, lovely person".
"All he does is give to other people," he added. "He's really funny. Despite what people think, he's quick-witted. But at the moment he's not very well."

Dave Van Halanger, who followed coach Mark Richt from Florida State, was removed as Georgia's strength and conditioning coach on Thursday after 10 seasons.
Joe Tereshinski, a former Bulldogs player who has been on staff since 1982, will replace Van Halanger effective Jan. 1, according to Georgia.
Van Halanger said Richt informed him Thursday during a meeting that he was being reassigned to a position as administrative assistant to Richt.
"My goal is to be a strength coach," Van Halanger said. "I'm a good strength coach. I want to be a strength coach again some time. I will work tremendously hard at whatever I need to do. I love working with kids. I love working with the kids at Georgia."
The news comes five days after Georgia finished a 6-6 regular season.
Van Halanger said he still needs to talk to Richt about whether he will continue as strength coach through the bowl game.
"I understand him and he understands that I'm going to do everything I can to help," Van Halanger said. "Mark wanted to make a change. I'm going to be assigned to other duties and I'm going to work very hard at it."
Van Halanger, 57, was strength and conditioning coach under Bobby Bowden at Florida State for 18 years from 1983-2001 and for five years before that at his alma mater, West Virginia, where he played offensive line.
He was inducted into the Strength and Conditioning Hall of Fame in 2003. He will have coached teams that have gone to 30 straight bowls.
"I know God has a plan for me and me family," Van Halanger said.
Tereshinski, also 57, was a two-year starter at center for Georgia in 1975-76. His father Joe Sr. played for Georgia as did his son Joe III, who was starting quarterback for part of the 2006 season.
Tereshinski has been an assistant strength coach since 1982 while also serving as assistant offensive line coach from 1982-84, administrative assistant to the coach Vince Dooley in 1985-86 and video coordinator since 1987.
"Joe has had a hand in Georgia's strength and conditioning program for nearly 30 years," Richt said in a statement. "I'm excited about what he can bring to our program in this capacity and the direction he'll set as we move forward."
Georgia said Van Halanger now will oversee and/or work with programs that will include character education, a new mentor program, former student-athlete development, and community service initiatives.
"Dave has made immeasurable contributions to our football program and been a major factor in our 96 victories over the last ten years," Richt said. "This role for Dave will allow us to tap into many of his strengths that will be of great benefit to Georgia, to me, and most of all to our student-athletes in a very unique way.  He will be outstanding in working with and motivating our young people in these many areas that will bring strong guidance to them in their daily lives."
Forner Georgia linebacker Rennie Curran, now with the NFL's Tennessee Titans, Thursday called Van Halanger a positive influence who kept the team focused on its goals and cared about players.
"I'm sure he's still going to be around and still going to be involved," Curran said.
Curran said Tereshinski ran players through 5:45 a.m. discipline runs.
"He's really sold out for this program and I'm sure he's going to do the best job that he can to make sure that our guys are prepared once the season rolls around," Curran said. "He's from that old school."
John Kasay, strength coach under Dooley and the father of the Carolina Panthers kicker, will become an assistant strength coach, according to a source. Kasay played on Dooley's first Georgia team in 1964 and after graduating in 1968 served as grad assistant, an offensive assistant and director of strength and conditioning over the next 20 years. He retired from the university this past summer.
Van Halanger was known for the early morning "mat drills" offseason conditioning program he brought from Florida State, but the Bulldogs' strength program has drawn criticism in some corners the past couple of seasons as the Bulldogs lost their share of battles on the line of scrimmage.
Georgia struggled to finish out close games this season. Five of the Bulldogs' six losses were by an average of five points.
Asked if he was surprised by the change, Van Halanger said: 'ÄúYou heard so many stories. I go to work every day. I just work. I enjoy what I do. I enjoy people. I don'Äôt listen to negative. I'Äôm not negative in any way, shape or form."
This is the second straight December in which a significant staff change has occurred. Richt fired three defensive assistants including coordinator Willie Martinez after a 7-5 regular season in 2009.

Bar that serves Absinthe?
Hi. Is there a bar in Manhattan that serves Absinthe or absinthe mixed drinks?
Thanks. L
According to Grub Street:
The Dove, STK, and Employees Only
Had an Absinthe cocktail mixed by a guest bartender from Milk & Honey down at The Green Room bar/restaurant (Pier 17). It was opening night for a show by the same name though and I'm not sure if they always serve it.
sunita's (norfolk btwn rivington and delancey) does... to be clear they serve (as does everywhere else mentionned) the variety that's legal in the states with a lower-dose variety of wormwood. anyway, sunita has the proper spoon, pours over a sugar cube and will even light it up with a match. very small, owner run bar.
I've had it at Sunita Bar, 106 Norfolk street, between Delancey and Rivington. Sunita does it right and I've actually had it several times. It's a great bar!

Dolph Ziggler is still hoping to get cleared by the WWE medical staff, so that he can work Royal Rumble 2014. The former world heavyweight champion has not worked a televised match for WWE since January 6 because of a concussion.
There is a very good chance that we only have five more months of seeing CM Punk, as his contract with WWE expires in July of this year. The former heavyweight champion has openly talked about leaving the company on his own terms, so it will take some convincing from management to get him to sign a new deal.
Kharma has been focusing much more on her health than she has at any point during her professional wrestling career, as the former TNA knockout is now doing the yoga program created by Diamond Dallas Page. She has lost a considerable amount of weight since leaving WWE.
Thanks to the help of John Cena and his BodyChange program, Vickie Guerrero has been improving her health and losing weight. The WWE diva has lost approximately a dozen pounds over the last month, and she is still going strong with the program.
Michael Cole and JBL, who are close friends outside of WWE, are doing a weight loss challenge together. JBL, who currently weighs 278 pounds, wants to lose approximately 50 pounds this year. They plan on climbing a mountain together afterwards.
WWE star Brodus Clay revealed on Twitter that he has lost some more weight and is now down to 353 pounds.
"It's awesome. I think I've stumbled upon the fountain of youth or something. I'm 44 years old and I'm down to high school weight (225)."
Kharma posted a picture of her new boyd on Twitter, and it looks like the former WWE and TNA star has lost close to 100 pounds.
"Everything with this new music is so true to life. Every song, every video, every thought, every word is a direct account of events. Stoked."
- Brooke Hogan discusses her new music
Brooke Hogan recently revealed on Twitter that she experienced an earthquake for the first time in her life. The former TNA knockout is now living in Los Angeles, where she is still attempting to launch her music career.
Batista and Brooke Hogan worked on a comedy thriller movie together last year called LA Slasher. It was initially to be released in 2013, but delayed until 2014. It now appears that the movie may be in permanent limbo, as no release date has been announced yet.
Brooke Hogan posted a picture of herself on Instagram, where the daughter of the legendary Hulk Hogan is wearing a "winter beach" outfit.
A picture of the Brooke Hogan wardrobe malfunction during the Impact Wrestling segment where she got married to Bully Ray.
Batista and Brooke Hogan are both featured in an upcoming movie called LA Slasher. Batista plays an undercover cop, while Hogan plays a reality TV star. The film was initially slated to be released in 2013, but could be pushed back to 2014.
Brooke Hogan has called off her engagement to Phil Costa, a backup offensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys. The couple has split up after getting engaged during the summer.

I would say the unfair comparison is based on the price difference, but comparing overall SQ seems okay to me as it is part of the package. As you mentioned in your C5 review, the O2 is your reference amp, Verza is my reference amp.
Well yeah...the O2 is another amp so I'm comparing an amp with an amp, not a DAC and amp with an amp. If I wanted to compare a DAC, I simply switch out the ODAC. You cannot do so with the VERZA so you're essentially comparing two different things. I used the ODAC as a common DAC between my O2 and C5 comparisons, or the iPhone DAC for those comparisons. The only thing I changed for my comparisons was the amp and the amp only; cables, sources, DAC were all the same. You're comparing the VERZA amp and DAC to an iPhone DAC and E11, and using different cables if that makes a difference.
The VERZA is your reference DAC and amp, not just an amp. The ODAC is my reference DAC and the O2 is my reference amp.

Honestly I am ignorant about the whole impedance thing so there is that.
Purely comparing how multiple phones sound coming out of an old integrated amp (Kenwoods and Pioneers) versus various FiiO's, a JDS Labs C421, and a Schiit Magni, the sound and bass is considerably better. Just trying to spread the vintage word......
For the price, the Kenwood I started with cost $70 and against the Magni ($100) it was night and day. The only downside is size, but for your home setup it may not matter.
The power out of a vintage headphone jack has to be experienced. They make great headphone amps.post #15307 of 212017/4/13 at 9:35am

Speaking of amps, I've tried plugging headphones directly into the line-out of a DAC (no amp) and still got sufficient volume, although everything sounded a little soft (in the mushy sense, not lack of loudness). A non-audiophile probably wouldn't notice.post #15308 of 212017/4/13 at 12:24pm

I hear you on the art, in the future we will have much more options. Remember, you can use photos too it just dithers, or go to istockphoto they have lots of resources. Or go to our http://Facebook.com/VMODA and look at the customs, you can request one of them. This one was sick, I want it!
I did see that custom drawing on the samples page, it is positively sick! However, I want to take the opportunity to make a logo for my gaming clan. And if those samples can be ordered by others, that kinda makes it easy if ever we go to a LAN event and want our team unified with some V-MODAs. At the least it just feels awesome to have the option to be extra-personal. I'm ordering today, my design is ALRIGHT but I'm going to redraft it in Illustrator real quick. Hope you're feelin great today!Quote:Benny, I don't own a smartphone just yet, just an iPad and older iPod Video. I haven't read up on the D42 kit you mentioned yet (is that a stand-alone MP3 player or a DAC + amp that works with smartphones?), but an iPhone is already the route I'm taking for my next device. I'll look into it tho. We'll see right?Originally Posted by Benny-x
Haha, my bad... I looked back at the other page and spotted Adman164's location in the post above yours :-( It's not $400, but still, it's not gonna be 9 for you either. Haha, here I was happy to be helping...
As for with the 4S, I've got the i Phone 4 and my M100s sounded great out of it. I was really happy with the sound, at least compared to my stock Galaxy S3. But like I mentioned, since buying the M100s I have gotten an iBasso D42 DAC+AMP combo and man can I ever tell you it sounds great. I use mine on the commute to work (bus or train) and have used it for one flight so far and can assure you that it sounds better than stock in those environments. I'm not a big micro-detail guy, I'm happy when the music sounds as real as I can get it, and the D42 gets that across while I'm not just in quite listening environments.
YMMV and cost is important, but I wouldn't write off $300 to get what I've gotten with the iBasso just because you're talking about spending $700 with the Verza and that not working for you. If you're only looking at the iPhone + Verza combo, then I'd go iPhone only just like you're thinking, but if you're willing to consider other options then that's where I sit.

an iPhone is already the route I'm taking for my next device. I'll look into it tho. We'll see right?
I can't imagine using anything but an Iphone based on the ease of use and Itunes interface. Apple Plus files sound as good as I would ever need or want and don't use an insane amount of storage (32 gig is filled, wish I had a 64 gig as I needed to make some difficult deletions recently). I finally have Vamp working perfectly after several trips back to V-Moda and just replaced my static-ridden Iphone 4 with.....a brand new Iphone 4 so I can keep Vamp (Apple sold me a brand new one with no contract for $149 since mine was defective). It may sound back asswards vs. upgrading to Iphone 5, but that's how much I like Vamp and the single-unit form factor matched with Iphone 4. Also, I would have spent the same $150 for just the metallo case and lightning to USB connector, plus the Iphone 5 cost. It's hard to believe Vamp is old news and no longer in production as it seems like yesterday it was buzzing on Head-fi as cutting edge.I have Verza (which sounds even bettter than Vamp) in a safe place if Iphone 6 turns out to be all that. Short of an upgrade to the Sig DJ, M100+Iphone+Vamp/Verza = portable listening nirvana. I imagine one could get close with an amp like the C5, E12 or C&C, but I believe the DAC in the V-Moda amps adds detail and openness that an amp alone wouldn't provide and they are the only portable DAC/amp combos on the market that are actually pocketable.post #15310 of 212017/4/13 at 2:22pm

I hear you about the sync-and-go goodness of the iPhone, and of course the iTunes Music Store makes new music so easy. Also, I can't get through more than like a gig of music in a day, BUT I like variety and the ability to choose from my library. I'm torn between buying an unlocked iPhone 4S on eBay and getting one of the cheap T-Mobile plans, mostly I use texting and about two calls a week, OR going with AT&T's superior service and a subsidized iPhone 5, and waiting till a Lightning-compatible Verza (or similar) comes out. Sure there are obstacles, but once those are overcome, the Lightning port seems ideal for connection to an external DAC. Another thing I've heard is the headphone port on an iPhone 5 is really good though, good enough in a practical sense that I could hook it to my launch-version E12 and reach audio Nirvana.
Btw, I spent 45 minutes or something on my shield design, it's about ready. Ok to show it here?post #15313 of 212017/4/13 at 9:58pm

Personally I really like the bass on the M100, lots of punch, reaches pretty deep. It does have quite a bit of emphasis and interferes with the mids a little, but for the right genres I find it perfect. As I've mentioned before I can eq it down a little with power amp on my phone and it still retains its quality but becomes more balanced with the rest of the spectrum, making it enjoyable for all genres.The m80's bass is lesser in quantity and does not reach quite as deep, but I also find it very enjoyable. I believe it is about 3 db above neutral which is goes down well with me. I doubt I have the keenest ears but that's roughly how I hear it! Hope this helps a little.
Oh from an aesthetics perspective I really love the white, I have a white M100 and a shadow M80, and personally I prefer the looks of the white, despite the fact it is indeed an off-white colour.
I agree! I notice I could feel the M80's low end a little more, it punches harder. Sadly my M100 are sent for repair, but the good part is that I am getting a white silver in exchange. After looking at it carefully the white is so beautiful! What color shield look better, the blue or the red? I currently have the Gold shields. What color would look good for a tall, little bulky male? Haha Miceblue was right about the white! But I dont mind the white creme color. Thanks Guys!post #15314 of 212017/5/13 at 12:26am

Yeah that's probably my issue as I don't have any headphones that are difficult to drive, so it's really difficult to tell the difference between amps. But my point was that amps are meant to change the sound sig and I think everyone agrees on that, even if I didn't explain my point well enough. You did it for me. :) So thanks.post #15315 of 212017/5/13 at 12:33am

I used to have the e07k but I moved to the e12. The sound on my m100's is now stronger and truer to me. The bass seems a little tighter as well. I don't really miss the DAC portion of the e07k.Return HomeBack to Forum: Portable Headphones, Earphones and In-Ear Monitors
