Our households spend a week on the island of Koh Samui, getting the lowdown on what a holiday there can really offer.
Dubai

But this modern metropolis in the desert doesn't appeal to everyone. Burnley bar owner Linda and her painter husband Pete find not only the hotels but their prices ‘out of this world'.
