Title: Blau Costa Verde! We're going!
Post by: debmich on September 13, 2005, 09:26:00 PM
We're going, we're going!
 
 Booked today, was seriously considering Casa Marina Beach in DR, but at last minute changed my mind and we are now booked into BCV for Jan 2-16th! Woohoo!
 
 Helpful tips, hints, appreciated!
 Thanks folks!

Congrats Deb!
 Where exactly is the BCV?
 Jan. seems so far away, but the months will go so quickly, you'll be packing in no time.

Congrats Deb !!!
 
 When Garin and SWMBO come back from Portugal they'll be able to fill you in on everything you need to know.  They had a great time there in May.

It was formerly known as the Maritim Costa Verde, right beside the Playa Costa Verde in Holguin!

Congratulations Debmich--Isn't it a great feeling to be booked and have all that behind you.  I was interested in that resort (among the many  ;)  )  I like the size and it sounds like a great place to spend two whole weeks! (I just reread your post and saw your dates)

Well I will admit it is a relief even though I usually try to hold on till the last minute for some good savings!
 But as we are traveling with another family, and their teenagers needed to be gone in early January to not have missed too much school we decided to go ahead and book and also because I had two coupons from Signature that had to be used 45 days in advance or they were not good. So if the price differs by 100 by the time we go, I will not be too upset! LOL
 
 So any takers?
 Milli? Heather?

As I said on Lady B's thread, I'll be trying to make it, but if the BCV is not available I'll have to try the PCV or the PP so there are several options open to me.
 
 It would be great to have yet another Holguin reunion.   Trust me I'll be working on it as soon as I get the time.

:)  Debmich:  Sounds like you will have a great time and if Bellagio books that will be icing on the cake!  I would love to go to Holquin in November or January but we don't have direct flight vacation packages out of the Maritimes until February and ending in May.  :(     :cubadreamin:

Gambitt is looking at booking next door as well! This could turn out to be quite a gathering! Any more takers?

I would love to join you, but it all depends on how our year end schedule goes at work.  Typically I cannot take vacation during the first 2 weeks of the month.

I'm sure you will have a great time at the BCV we found the staff very friendly and helpful

Millybess:
 
 Have you booked it then??   Six of you going!!! Are you taking Milly and Bess along with you??
 
 Looks like I'll have to be doing some serious searching for holidays when I can find time.
Title: Re: Blau Costa Verde! We're going!
Post by: millybess on September 20, 2005, 12:39:00 AM
Yup, we are booked as of 1/2 hour ago.  We're all very excited.    :ham:

Congrats on booking Millybess.  What are your dates?  One week or two?
 
 It looks like the Blau is the place to be in January/06

We're going from Jan. 3 - 10 with Sunwing.  I've wanted to book with them since they "rescued" all of those Jetsgo passengers at March Break.
 
 Our flight times aren't my favourite.  We arrive and depart around 8:30 pm.  I'll be a real "sod-off" by the time we get there.  :confused:  
 
 Anyway, we're pleased.  This was a resort that we considered booking at March Break, but we chose the PP instead.  This one is about 1/3 the size and I think that will suit me better.

Hey Millybess,
 Congrats on your booking. Wish we could go that early, but we have two trips through hubby's volunteer job in Jan and Feb so it will be March or early April before we get to Cuba. Instead of March break we are thinking of Easter which is April 14 next year!
 
 I am sure you will have a great time.
 Thanks for the info on the required docs, as we too will be taking one of our son's friends with us when we go.
 
 Kimber

Thanks Kimber.  It's too bad you can't make it.  But now that we're not too far from each other up north, we'll just have to get together for BBQs!  :s:

Looks like I'll be joining up with you, but staying at the PCV from December 28th to January 13th.

:)   I had this site bookmarked and maybe you are familiar with it.  There are lots of pictures and videos of Cuban resorts and in your case Blau Coste Verde.  It looks like a great place for you all to meet up in!

Add 3 more to the party!!!
 
 Unfortunately, we're going down, on the flight that Millybess is returning on...
 
 Lauren Logan and I will be heading to the PCV for the 10th-17th...  We're going to the TA to book it on Wed.
 
 See you on the BEACH!

Congratulations Gambitt - If I don't see you there, looks like you'll be on my flight home then!!!!!!
 
 I might just wander up to the beach bar at the PCV and let you buy me a drink and when you are at the Blau, no problema, the drinks will be on.........Debmich and Henry!!!!
Title: Re: Blau Costa Verde! We're going!
Post by: Gambitt on November 15, 2005, 08:07:00 AM
I didn't even realise that we might be on the same flight home (forgot you were Toronto bound)
 
 We'll surely see each other during the week, as I will be spending a fair bit of time at the Blau "diving".
