The sol cayo guillermo hotel will be closing for reno's from June to sept.2008. Just thought I'd let you all know if ya did'nt already.

My question is,when you land in Cayo Coco,how do you get to the resort,Is there a road,and how long does it take.

Hi

Im going to the Sol Cayo Guillermo in Jan 08 and wondering what watersports there are available at the hotel. As far as I can see it is things like pedalos. Has anyone ever seen anybody doing any kitesurfing there? Not sure what the wind conditions are like or if they would even allow such a sport with the marine life?

Also, have heard that it is good to take out small gifts for the hotel staff. Any advice on what is in favour with them at the moment?

Any other tips or advice would also be appreciated!

Thanks

Thanks.

I am going to Cayo Guillermo in 2 weeks time I am staying at the Villa Cojimar and was wondering if anyone could give me any idea of what the weather will be like in July and what the hotel is like I have read mixed responses.

Thanx

Im off to Cayo Guillermo on honeymoon in 5 weeks. We are staying at the Melia and I just wanted to clarify about credit cards which can be used. We are thinking of using them for booking the excursions. I have a Barclaycard and a visa issued by the Cooperative Bank and also a Tesco Credit card. Can anyone confirm that I will be able to use these ok.

Also, I have read so many mixed reviews about the hotel - has anyone been this year and have any comments? Also are there cashpoints in the hotel or do we need to take sterling to change into convertable pesos?

Any advice would be welcomed!

Thanks
Philippa

Hi, myself and my partner are going to Villa Cojimar in Cayo Guillermo next week, 24th May 2006, for 2 weeks. I was hoping for some advice on the hotel, the people, trips, water and any Cuba Cayo's travel tips. And also could someone let me know what the weather is like at this time of year as there are mixed reports. I am expecting glorious sunshine with a bit of a downpour in the early evenings.

Is anyone else going at this time? Would be nice to meet some people...!

We've just booked to go 26/11/06 for 2 weeks. I know its ages off but is anybody else going then?. My daughter stayed at this resort last year and loved it.

we are travelling to the Iberostar during October , and are looking for feedback on taking our young baby. Has anyone got any advice on this ? Also , have any of you been to the island during october , as we have been told that this is in the middle of the hurricane season ?
Look forward to your replies...

Hello All,
I am travelling to this resort in late February. Has anyone been there before? And if so do you have any tips on what I should bring or be careful of or whatever?

Thanks so much!
Alex

I'm of to Cayo Guillermo at the begining of June, 2005. Can anyone tell me, can i use my Visa Elecron Debit card on the Island, or at any of the hotels?.
Has anyone stayed at the Sol Cayo Guillermo? if so what is it like?.

HI
Myself and my family will be visiting the Melia Cayo Guillermo on the 2nd June and we are slighty worried because we have 2 teenagers 15,13. We would love too hear from anyone who is visiting the MCG with teenagers or has been with teenagers if their is enough activites for them.

We would also love to hear from anyone who holidaying at the same time so we could meet up for drink.

Cheers ROSS.

We're off in May 2005 for 2 weeks at the Melia Cayo Guillermo, does anyone have any experience of the hotel or what the diving is like?

Could anyone tell me which is the VERY BEST hotel in Cayo Guillermo?

Hi,

I'm about to go to Cayo Guillermo for two weeks and will be taking my portable computer along. I've bought a 220 volt converter, but I need to know -- WHAT KIND OF PLUG ADAPTOR DO I NEED TO FIT INTO THE WALL SOCKET?

(I am staying at Melia's Sol Club Cayo Guillermo. Are its plugs compatable with ours, or are they compatible with Spanish sockets -- or another altogether?

Thanks for the advice.

One other thing, the 220 v converter I got is for 85 watts; Radio Shack also sells one for 50 watts; I'm guessing the 85 watt is safest for a laptop -- a 1998 Macintosh ibook. Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Cheers,

Allan

im booked to go to the iberostar daiquiri in july 2004, what is the weather like, im going for 14 days, am i going to get a sun tan....and also is the beach stunning? and is it far to playa pilar as ive heard the beach there is amazing. Im looking for a paradise style beach if that makes any sense x hope i wont be disappointed ive never been to the caribbean before.

I would like to get some info on guides , tackle and areas to fish

My question is in the title, I have to decide which destination i should go. In cayo guillermo, i would stay at the sol cayo guillermo, in cayo santa maria at the sol cayo santa maria and in cayo largo, at the pelican.
If someone could help me, i would appreciate it . The hotel is more or less important for me, i want an amazing beach with turquoise water and white sand. I'm 21 years old, so i don't want a place for families, i want to be able to walk a lot and find precious spots on the beach where i can be alone or almost.
Some people told me the cayo largo would be better for me because it's very quiet and you can take some long walks and discover virgin beaches, but i'm a little bit afraid because of the ouragan michelle that destryed a big part of it in 2001 and also because of the price.
So now i'm looking if cayo guillermo or cayo santa maria could correspond to what i am looking for.
Don't remember that i want an honest answer and that finally, i want the most beautiful beach.
Thank you!
bebye

Beside passport, documentation, cloths, bug spray, and sun screen.... Does anyone have any words of wisdom to share about must take with me?
