Just returned from our 1st trip to Playa Pesquero (and to Cuba) and cannot say enough good things about this resort. A big shout out to Bellagio, Cookster and Huskypup for showing me the ropes when I arrived!! :1:

The warmest of welcomes to my good friend, Newfiegal.
I have only just arrived back home from babysitting duties in St. Albans and am brewing my first Timmies back in the UK for quite a while.
I have a lot to catch up with at the moment but I'll be around later.

Welcome to Paradise Newfiegal

Welcome Newfiegal ... :b: :6:

Am I crazy or what???
I'm thinking of returning to Cuba on December 2nd for 2 weeks.
Went to book the PCV this morning at £711 only to find that First Choice had handed back all their unsold rooms to the PCV overnight. I wondered why it was available to book online on Sunday evening, then on Monday morning the PCV didn't show.
There was one Double for Single left at the Blau for £647 but I hesitated about that as I am going to the Blau in early January anyway. Just before I left St. Albans I thought I would have another look and lo and behold that room had gone. They wanted to charge me £772 if they released another Double for a Single and I said - No thanks!!!
No singles available at the Pesquero, or so it appeared, but a few minutes ago I did manage to find one at £753 for 2 weeks on December 2nd.
What do I do??????? HELP!!!!!!
I really feel I should book it as it may disappear. There is one one Double for Single showing and that may be the one they added on after I requested a quote in the First Choice shop this morning.
Yes I know I'm stupid, but what the heck!!!!
-
lmao @ Bellagio....I would go for it!! I tried to talk Dana into looking again for January but he things I am still feeling the after effects of all the crazy canadians I drank!!!
Will we see you when you are in Canada in Jan ??
:D :cool:
-
It's booked - Dec 2nd for 2 weeks - back to the Playa Pesquero!!!!!
Heck Newfiegal I might neeed to win on the lottery to fund all these trips. lol.
I'll sure try to meet up with you if at all possible.
-
I am soooo jealous!! Way to go !!! :D
I booked a trip to Newfoundland today and also leave on Dec 2nd...still an island but just NOT the same !!! lol
-

Hi Milli...that is a crazy cheap price for 2 weeks!!! Hubby and I paid $1700 taxes in cdn for the both of us and from what I have seen we got a decent price.
-
:D That was fast! I read your original post about the PP deal Bellagio and I wrote a reply, clicked on the back icon to see how Newfiegal spells her name and then back again to find my message gone. So I retyped it, pressed reply and when it came up You had booked!

Wow Mr B, you sure are finding the deals. Now save sometime for April will you, I would love to meet up with you in Cuba.

Well I don't consider it a wonderful deal. Remember I paid £599 for 15 nights for the last trip.
Historically these first two weeks in December are always cheap and this is the most I have ever paid to go away in this period.
If Huskypup comes online and reads this I would appreciate her NOT telling anyone there as I want to surprise them all this time around.

Newfiegal's Playa Pesquero review is posted.

Heather:
Please remember I'm retired - I no longer go to work.
How on earth do you expect me to find the time to submit a trip report!!!
Seriously I have only spent a few hours in my own house since returning from Cuba last Friday.
Now with going away in December in just 17 days I have to get myself into gear again.
This retirement lark is really hard work I can tell you.
-
hey there ....I am sure I forgot some things in my review but wanted to get it up quickly while I remembered most of the details....and also wanted to beat Bellagio to the punch!! heehee :D :dan:
I will try and add photos soon...cheers all :1:
-
Hey that's fine Newfiegal - saves me the trouble of writing another review of the PP as yours was so comprehensive.
I might consider updating mine after my December visit, if I have time!!!!
With my third visit coming up I'll fast be catching up with Cookster!!!
-
Hey Newfiegal, there are some things that I a sure that Bellagio doesn't want us to put in our reviews right :moj:

Cookster and Newfiegal:
I hope your silence is not going to cost me much - remember I have just paid out for a return trip!!!!

OMG, you're going back ?!?!?! Wow, good for you, Ken !!!!
I wanna be retired :p

Hi all just joined today. Returned from PP on Sunday morning @ 1 am. My second time there. This year definately better. The people are great that you meet. Alot of Torontotarians. Hope to see everyone there again next Nov. (1st week) probably go for 2 wks this time. Hi Newfiegal, thanks for making me feel comfortable at the disco. I went with older people ( not too old) (ouch) and the music wasn't quite their type. So thanks. Say hi to Dana.
:33:
-
Sorry I never met up with you junebugster.
Don't know how we came to miss each other - I was in the disco with newfiegal until it closed on my last night (last Wednesday).
Anyway a warm welcome to 7Days in Paradise - at the moment it's like a reunion for people who have just returned from the Playa Pesquero.

Bellagio, your gonna have to lay of the mint leaves man, Junebugster was with our group her name is June (get it) she spent many a night at the disco with Newfiegal and Dana. :6:
your just too cute.
-
lmao @ Cookster!!!
Bellagio....drink them , not smoke them sweetie !!
:rof: just kidding....
-
:confused:
"B" I'm hurt. You don't remember your last night there with me. And you said I was special. That I got your juice up and running again.
:b:
-
how many of those mojito's did he have? :D
I'm sure it'll come back to him once you post your photo's.
-
Well there are so many Bellagio Babes to remember...must be hard for the old chap ! ;)
-
Ken, I think you really must have had way too many mojitos :eek:
I think you're right Bulldog, he has too many Babes to keep track of now. He's starting to forget them :rof: :rof:
Welcome to the board Newfiegirl, Cookster and Junebug. Glad you all met up with our very own infamous Mr. B
newfiegirl, too bad you didn't find the pool floatie. I thought you had found a pool supply place (we discussed this on Debbie's, my alias ove there is new2cuba). I took the one I bought for the BIT and she didn't even use it. Heck girl, I coulda lent it to you, lol

Sorry Junebugster, I do remember you now - it was just your name that I forgot - I am terrible for remembering names. When I saw that you were from Montreal I realised then that you were with the Cookie group.
Meeting all these new people at once was obviously far too much for me. It's obvious that I need another holiday to recover!!!!
Don't worry about all the new Babes Wendy - you are still the only one I proposed to!!!! I think, anyway.
Too many mojitos and who knows what I get up to as witnessed at CN3 - what a night that was!!!!!
Expect you are all down at the Bohemia Havana right now. How I could use one of Tefy's mojitos right now.
:moj: :moj: :moj: :moj: :moj: :moj: :moj:
-
B, as a matter of fact I was at the BH last night. Had 3 mojitos and 2 cristals (quiet night) ;)
Still haven't seen any sign of the "big rock" yet. Right Heather and Cindy? LOL
-
Hey Wendy - I'm saving hard for that big 'rock' trust me!!!!
Unfortunately I just keep spending my savings on more trips to Cuba!!!
We'll have to arrange a get together though whilst I'm in Toronto in January. It just wouldn't be the same without meeting up for a few drinks with mojitomiss!!!
:moj: :moj: :moj: :moj: :moj: :moj:
-
wendy, i think that you are being challenged to a mojito drinking contest again, maybe it will lead to another proposal!! huh ken? lmao lol lol
david

David:
I know when I'm beaten - that mojitomiss has had far too much practice at the Bohemia Havana drinking Tefy's most delicious mojitos. I might stand a better chance on Baileys. lol
I need to show Wendy at our next meeting that I can really be a true gentleman, but if she gets me drinking mojitos then who knows what will happen!!!!!!
