Flopnfly, I have been looking at the photos of Royal Hideaway and cannot wait for your
review of the place. We were lucky enough to get to PP and Sandals Princesa del Mar just after they opened and would love to go to the Royal. Dan F

One week to go and I'm getting very excited about it.

We received an email from Your Travel Tickets. They had a call from Transat Holidays about the hotel. I thought they were cancelling on us. :eek:

However, they were just letting us know that the hotel is enforcing the dress code in all restaurants.

We hadn't asked anything about it, so I'm assuming that people were showing up in casual attire for dinner and the resort is putting their foot down now??

That is a good thing. At IV, you could get in with a wet speedo!

I was thinking that because of the low occupancy people were not dressing for dinner.

This resort sounds like they want to give it a high end image so that's probably why they are enforcing it.

I agree it's a good thing. :D

Me too. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I think gentlemen should wear long trousers even to the buffet in the evening.

I know the good Pastor will not agree with me though!!!

Thanks a bunch Deb. lol

Yes I remember us having a discussion about this topic whilst we were in Cuba.

Thank-you all for the wonderful chatter about the Royal Hideaway. We are Cuba Lovers.

My son is off High School in late October for a week. I just checked the prices and it looks great. Must convince my wife.

Please advise what weather is like in late October early November. We always try to avoid Hurricane Season and have never visited at this time period

Avidtraveller,

Congrats on your first post, please jump right in with the rest of us nuts. :D

We've been to Cuba in November and found it quite cool for us. During the day the temps were in the high 20's but the water was cold. The pools were virtually empty all day because the water was just too cold to hang out in. The ocean was a bit warmer, but still not warm enough for me. For this reasona alone I don't think I'll return to Cuba between Nov and April.

We're off to Cuba next week, first time going in September so I'll let you know what it's like. Keep your fingers crossed for us that no hurricanes decide to pay us a visit.

I totally agree and think the dress codes should be enforced in the evening, I don't think it's old fashioned it's a case of setting a reasonable standard

flopnfly:

Thanks for the warm welcome. I hope to join the chat frequently.

The cool temps. in November might keep my wife away, although the kids won't care.

FYI, we travel to Cuba in December and April, the weather is fantastic. December nights can be cool, but never COLD!!

Have a great and safe trip, look forward to your report on your return. Hope the weather holds out.

Don't ask me why I looked, but I did. :(

I just checked Your Travel Tickets and Royal Hideaway is still available at the unbelievable price of $576 plus taxes !!!!!!

$576 for a brand new 5 star resort!!!!

Any takers??

You're killing me here!!!!!!
;)
I would LOVE to go! Can anyone offer me "Alternative Employment" starting around the 1st of October???

bellagio · « **Reply #89 on:** September 13, 2006, 02:35:00 AM »

Wow - that's about $130 cheaper than you paid I believe.

Great resort it maybe but I think it will still be in the the bargain basement for a while yet, especially when Melia Las Dunas opens.

Too many hotels in this area. Maybe Cuba will have to start closing some of the older places like the Atlantico as they surely can't afford to be letting this resort go at these low prices and so few guests going there also.

You'll have a wonderful holiday Heather - it is a fantastic resort - everyone says so.
