  Tracie and I have just returned from our 12th Cuban adventure.
   We have been to :

         Holguin..Club Amigo- 3 times, Las Brisas- 1, Sol Luna y Mares-2 (and walked in for a lovely dinner at PRDO).
 
         Varadero.. Brisas Del Caribe- 1, Palma Real- 1
   
         Jibacoa.. Super Clubs Breezes Jibacoa-2 (enjoyed the grand opening night at Martino's..Mmmm )
 
         Santa Clara.. Melia Cayo Santa Maria- 1
 
         Cayo Coco.. El Senador- 1   (several trips to the Dominican, El Salvador (awesome) and a cruise to Bermuda tossed in!)

  Every destination/resort has it's own flavour, but we feel it may be time to give Cuba a rest??? Or going to a different location or Casa type experience?? We would return to Jibacoa as it is a little piece of paradise!!


                                         Enjoy your travel adventures...F&T

4 for the BIT and I

PCV, Holguin - May 2005, weather and water (pool and ocean) hot, hot, hot

Sol Cayo Santa Maria - Nov 2005, ocean warm, pool cold, nights cool

Sol Cayo Guillermo - April 2006 = this was just about as perfect as weather can get on vacation. Pool and ocean temps beautiful, air temp gorgeous (no humidity) evenings great

PCV, Holguin - June 2007, weather and water temps hot. I didn't find it as humid as I did in May 2 years previous but from what I understand that spring (2005) was exceptionally hot/humid. But the mozzies were killers in June. It probably doesn't help that the week prior to our trip, they had rain every day and we all know the little buggers just breed like crazy in that weather.

Back in 93 the tourist industry was just getting started. The food wasn't that good, all they had to cook with was coconut oil so everthing tast the same. The resort was tiny one pool and three guest buildings. It was still a very good time, we took a bus tour of Santiago and they showed all the historic revolution sites. But I guess the best thing of all was that the rum was great even back then, and I brought home a 60 of Russian Vodka that I payed $4.50us for! Weather was great and the people where very friendly.

Ok, I'm surprised that you guys were even old enough to drink back in '93.  Or maybe you weren't?   :happy3:
