Travel and Selloffs

Location: Cayo Coco, Cuba

Hotel: Tryp Cayo Coco

Price Paid: $815.00 each + tax. Booked 1-1/2 weeks before departure.

Room#: 710 – Great location if you like to be by the pool. The room was ground floor and close to everything.

Date Visited: January 18, 2003 (one week stay)

Weather Conditions: Very cool at night so bring a sweater and long pants.

Snorkeling: Did not go here, water too rough.

Opinions/Tips: Power is 220 not 110 like home so a converter is needed. Great Spanish Coffees, and the pizza restaurant was excellent.

Would I return: Yes, if a good sell-off became available.

Curacao – February 2008

Superclub Breezes – just returning from a two week stay at the Superclub Breezes, these are some of the highlights:

Snorkelling – 5 star as usual. Perfect location for the beginner and children snorkeler. Plenty of fish to see close to shore. Venturing further out you can see the rare Flying Gurnard, squid, butterfly fish, to name just a few.

The Blue Mahoe Spa – has to be the BEST massage I have ever experienced! Try the hot rocks as this is definitely an incredible experience.

Weather – Feb. 10-24 – always a breeze blowing and a mix of mostly sun and fluffy white clouds. We did receive a sprinkle of rain once or twice throughout the two weeks, but the showers were short lived.

Shopping – worth the trip to town. Hop on the local bus at the bus stop just outside the hotel for the cost of $1.00. A great assortment of embroidered T-shirts, beach cover-ups, and beach bags are available along with plenty of all sorts of souvegnirs are available. Jewelry shopping – stop at Kings Jewelry and visit Raj – he will give you a great deal and is always willing to negotiate.
