Re: Milo just a minute

Hey Stormmey: Yes I posted it quite a while back. Can't seem to find it however.

As J-kid said, I'm pretty sure Marielle was the other poster who posted a report.

I can give you some input but first a little info would be helpful. What type of visit are you looking for? Relaxing on the beach at a resort? Exploring rural Cuba? Checking out the history and culture in Havana? Maybe a combination?

Re: Milo just a minute

Hey Milo thanks for checking in, actually its for my Mom and her husband I not going anywhere now with baby in tow

Mom is an all inclusive person with beach she can relax on.....and not not exploring rural Cuba. Checking out couple museums and culture yes.

Re: Milo just a minute

Here is a list of some <span style="font-weight: bold">Adult Only</span> resorts in Cuba that are all great spots and may be of interest to your mom. Most of these are the upper end in price because they cater to adults only and provide the peace and quiet some folks are looking for in a holiday. I'm not sure how important that is to mom but it is a starting point.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Pros</span> - Beautiful place, beautiful beach, quality food and entertainment.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Cons</span> - Somewhat isolated.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Pros</span> - New hotel on a beautiful beach, lot's of great reviews so far.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Cons</span> - Again, somewhat isolated.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Factoid</span> - Fidel has a retreat near by.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Pros</span> - Smaller hotel with more personalized friendly feel. While a little isolated you are only an hour drive from Havana. The hotel offers excursions into the city. AMAZING snorkelling and diving directly off the beach at this resort, no need to take a boat out to the reef, the reef starts about twenty meters off shore. Head chef is a very well trained and experienced Jamaican.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Cons</span> - While the beach here is wonderful it is not the super fine sand that a place like Negril offers. Don't get me wrong, still a beautiful beach but the sand is a little more course than other beaches people are use to swimming at in the Caribbean.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Pros</span> - Well, it's a Sandals so you really can't go wrong. Not isolated, located on a hotel strip with shopping, medical clinic and nightlife a short cab ride away. Located on Cuba's famous Varadero beach.

<span style="color: #FF0000">Cons</span> - I have never stayed at this hotel personally so do not have enough info to post a con.

Let me know if you have any other questions or if they are open to staying at resorts that cater ti families as well.

Re: Milo just a minute

Glad to hear I may be of some help. If you think she may like the &quot;Hip Strip&quot; then mention this hotel to her as well. Less expensive than Sandals but also all inclusive. I have never stayed here but a co-worker of mine did and she loved it.

It is also an adults only resort.
