Hi all.

With regards to a couple of earlier posts, I was looking thru' the Thomas Cook Tropical Shores brochure for this year and it states that as part of the All Inclusive features that:

"Sport & Leisure
Activities usually include:aerobics;archery;basketball;
dancing lessons;darts;daytime tennis;football;games
room (adults only);kayaks;mini-golf;pool table;
sailing;snorkelling;table tennis;volleyball;waterpolo;
windsurfing.Introductory scuba diving lesson(once per
stay).All watersports one hour per person per day,
subject to availability."


The games in the games room will (I expect) be payable locally i.e. Video games, pool table etc.

I hope this helps.

Hi all.

I know this might sound like a silly question but I was wondering what the breakfasts were like in the ICD.I know that the hotel (supposedly) mostly caters for North Americans & Canadians and I was wondering :think if the bacon is streaky (all fat and no meat - just like myself!!) or is it more like a British back bacon.
I remember one year in Malta ,the bacon had hair on it! From then on we've called streaky - "hairy" bacon.
I myself can and will eat almost anything so this question is just out of curiosity rather than neccesity.
Many thanks for any info given.

dave dee,
The bacon is crispy, streaky.
Breakfasts consist of cereals, eggs fried, boiled, scrambled, omlettes done to your requirements, sausages, baked beans, tomatoes tinned, creamed potato, fried bread, etc.etc. Yogurts, fresh fruit, I could go on and on.

We have been going to the ICD now for last 5 years and awaiting our 6th visit, have also booked for May 7th 2009 for another 2 weeks, we cant get enough of the resort. Its brilliant. :cheers

Hi Angie.

Many thanks for the reply.I'm not too fussed about bacon itself but I do love a good breakfast.It's the most important meal of the day.I've stayed in a few other Iberostars in the past and the food has been great.I like a good fry up but I've learned to do without on holiday, either that or I'll need to start staying at home! Omelette to start with then some croissants with strawberry jam and then see if there's room for anything else!
All the best.

Hi David ,
Thought I would catch up with you here, breakfast is probably the easy one as most of it is cooked I used to start off on the first day with the full Monty stuffed all day :( 2nd day egg bacon beans & toast, 3rd day toasted bacon butty, 4th day and for the rest of the hols croissant melon pineapple mango all fairly safe. Its the main meals that can be a problem, 12 or 13 years ago a lot of people were dropping like flies we only had cooked food except the rice not good if it is re cooked, also cheese, ham, salad, no way, we have been to Dominican 3 times never been ill OK may have been lucky or we have cast iron stomachs. I know there was a clamp down a few years ago and it did improve but I still stick to my theory.

Hello again Alan!

I totally agree with you.Breakfast is probably the "safest" meal of the day. I like a full monty too (especially if I've had a couple too many the night before! :yuck ) but also just omelettes and croissants.
I haven't had my dinner yet and now I'm drooling at the thought of food.Need to go and get some munchies :)
Cheers

David

Right, that's the food questions just about exhausted so let's start talking about the drinks!!
I know the bars are 'supposed' to serve international brands but what exactly do they have and are they watered down?
