Hi,

The only dress code is long trousers for men in the a la carte restaurants, so your son should be ok.

That does sound expensive, we paid £2200 for 2 adults and 1 child, our friends with 2 children only paid £3400 last June.

Have not been to Cuba in August before, but the Weather should be ok.

Hi Nicky

It may be so much as we need two rooms and they charge for 4 adults?

Who did your friends book with?

I was going to book this hotel today...but there is a slight problem and i don't know what to do. I am going on my own with my two children. The bedrooms have two double beds whereas I need a double and two singles...I don't know what to do. Also where is the best place to swim with dolphins. I would like to make my 40th really memorable.

Me and my boyfriend are thinking of going to Playa Pesquero in June 2007 for our honeymoon. Could anyone tell me their views on this resort ie weather, excursions and if its a good place to go for a honeymoon etc. I have heard that it's the start of the rainy season and I'm worried that it may ruin our holiday. We just want to know we will have a good honeymoon quiet but lively if we want it to be.

Thank you

Louise

Hi there - we are going to the PP on 15th July, flying from Manchester. The holiday's paid, the suitcases are filling up, I've emailed the hotel to request a first floor room and the vaccinations have been had. I'm a bit worried about the mossies and hurricanes, but after reading the reviews I think the hotel will more than make up for it. The children are so excited now that the injections are out of the way.

Any tips on clothing, what to take or anything else would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Hi Eifion

We have not booked for Havana because we have the children with us and I thought it would be too much travelling for them. We hope to "do" the dolphins, visit Holguin and maybe get to Santiago. We won't home in Scotland until 2nd August so you won't be able to read our report, however I am sure there will be some written before then.

I am looking forward to going and hope the weather improves!

Hi Calv - our two children are 11 and almost 9 and are now getting really excited. I imagine that the flight on the 15th of July is full and most of the passengers have visited this website! The vaccinations have been done, the tickets have arrived and the passports have been checked and school's out on Friday. Just got to think about packing now - let the countdown begin!

You will love the Playa Pesquero, we went last Nov and had the time of our lives - just remember to go with the flow you are on Caribbean time.

Hi Huskypup

If you haven't already done so, I'd be really grateful if you'd post a review HERE.

Many thanks :wink: :tup

This is probably mentioned somewhere on the site but I can't find it. Can anyone who has been to Cuba (or especially the Playa Pesquero) tell me what type of sockets they have in the rooms. I have one of those world wide adaptors and there is a strange one with very 2 slim pointed metal prongs and I wondered if this is what you use (it's for my hairdrier and daughter's straighteners).

Now that I have read this post it seems really trivial but it is important to us :roll: Any info gratefully received.

Thanks

Lou :lol:
PS 13 days and counting!

Hi All

Well I am being brave and I am off to Cuba, Playa Pesquero with my two children on the 26th July. It is my 40th Birthday on the 1st August so I am going to go swimming with Dolphins with the children and have a nice birthday dinner at the hotel in the evening.

I'm rather nervous about the 10 hour flight with two children...but i'm sure we will all survive!!! Any tips???
