Excellent choice, Lauren! I have not stayed there, but have been on the property many times, when we stayed next door at PRDO.
It has a great beach and from all reports of ppl I know who have gone, its great.
I love that price!!
tempting...
go for it!
Karen and Marty :)
( we have always liked the Melia chain.)

I have been to Luna Mares 3 times and will be returning in February with a group of 35 for my wedding. It is a beautiful beach and as I age, I realize the importance of an abundance of trees on the beach which Luna Mares has. There is no fighting for shade or chairs.

The resort itself as it was once 2 separate resorts has 2 main buffet restaurants and then 4 a la cartes which are open at lunch for anyone and then in the evenings by reservation. (2 reservations allowable/week) As well I like the fact that it is a medium size resort but still feels like a small resort and rarely feels crowded or busy. And for the price that you want to book for, it's a real deal. Enjoy. :7:

Never been, but I've seen plenty of good reports, and at that price, it's a steak, go for it before it disappears

Well, no, it's not a steak, it's a steal. :D :D :D

I'm looking at this resort as well for January 12th (although a little better pricing for me) :p was it through Transat? its a little cheaper is you can fly on the Friday as well

Its right beside the Paradisus and I could get day passes to finally do my site inspections there.

I've been fence sitting for so long now for this time that we want to go and I haven't seen any spectacular deals recently ...

Shine, this resort is definitely on my list of places to stay in Cuba. Playa Esmeralda is the most beautiful beach in the Guardalavaca area (my opinion only of course, but I think there are many here who would agree with me)

That's a great price for this resort. It doesn't often come up that cheap. I say GO FOR IT :)

Well I've booked it. We're leaving on the 21st.
Can't wait

Congratulations on booking I'm sure you will have a whale or should that be shark ;) of a time

FredTracie · « **Reply #11 on:** December 27, 2006, 05:48:00 PM »

Well you have made an excellent choice! We really enjoyed this property when we were there in November, we would not hesitate to return! The beach is great, the food was very good and the proximity to Guardalavaca is excellent (4 pesos by cab). There is an ecological park beside the hotel with lots of trails to explore. Are you taking Logan? What side of the resort are you staying in? Are you interested in eating at a palador ?? So many questions and we're not even going!! :D

Cheers.....F&T

Shine · « **Reply #12 on:** December 27, 2006, 05:54:00 PM »

Ah too bad :( you should have called me???
I was going to say ANYONE who wants to travel with us, January 12 from Toronto I will offer you MY price of $625+taxes for this hotel !!!
Any takers ?!?!?!?!
If so, email me ASAP at: shine@thetravelnetwork.com

We're going !!! (I'm booking it tomorrow, if not tonight)

Harlequin · « **Reply #13 on:** December 27, 2006, 06:47:00 PM »

I am looking at those prices and trying to work out how to get to Canada on the cheap and blag some extra leave :D what a fantastic way to kick start 2007 hope you all have a great trip

That Woman · « **Reply #14 on:** December 27, 2006, 09:49:00 PM »

Sorry Shine there was no way we could go on the 12th, I don't have holidays until the 21st.

Fred & Tracy
We are staying on the Mares side, which we have heard is the better side. Going Air Transat, which gives us to pre booked ala cartes and a few other extras. Logan isn't going with us this trip, the inlaws want to take him in Feb when they go. So a win win situation for me. A week away without Logan and a week at home without Logan. As much as I love him, I do need a break from him.
