Provincia de Holguín Travel Forum

This might sound a little odd but I am a runner and am planning on taking my running shoes on holiday for a little early morning easy running.

I have never been to cuba and wondered whether it would be safe for a lone female to run off the complex or whether I will have to be content with running laps of the hotel where I am staying, The Blau Costa Verde?

If anyone could offer any insight that would be most appreciated.

Thanks

please can you tell me the price for swiming with dolphins for adults and children thank you

What Is The Weather Like Then.

Hi..... We are staying at Playa Costs Verde at the end of April and we would like to take a day trip into Guardalavaca......... How far is it from the hotel and would you be able to rent scooters to get there by?

How much does it cost to swim with the dolphins in Holguin, Cuba?

I'm in Holguin from 22 October to 1 November - could anyone tell me if there are any games, friendlies, charity games, warm-up games, junior games etc to watch during this time. I know the main league doesn't start until November but I was keen to watch something. Where do I find out about games (ideally in English) and how do I get tickets?

Help would be very much apreciated.

Regards

Tom

Does anyone know if we can pre-book a Swim with the Dolphins. We have younger kids and they would be so dissappointed if we got there and we couldn't get to
swim with them...this is all they've been talking about....

Any contact information for the aqiarium?

Thanks

Is it necessary to book to swim with the dolphins before leaving the UK?

I want to go somewhere with lots to do, water sports, fairly decent nightlife, trips, beaches etc. Where would be better to go? Guardalavaca or varadero? If i stay in guardalava i will stay in playa pesquero in the playa verde hotel. anyone know what its like?

I am trying to contact Roy or freddie from the diving school and the ocean paradise catamaran, before i visit again in May and was wondering if anyone who is visiting guardalavaca could pass on a message, i have unfortunately lost his email address.

Its a small resort so the likelihood of bumping into Roy or freddie on a trip is highly likely. I would be very grateful.

Playa costa verde? Playa Pesquero?

Which is better for a familly of 3? kid is 5 years old; french speaking only, we (parents) handle french or english.

There is a $500 difference between the two...

Thanks

Is there a difference between the "bungalows" and the "villas"?

My friend and I are going to in March - ANY helpful hints - or things you MUST bring with you would be VERY helpful.

Thank you so much!!!

A friend and I are going to Holguin soon. I wanted to know whether there was a difference in the Bungalows as compared to the Villas? I would also appreciate any "tips" anyone has to offer. Thanks!

Hi,
I was wondering about eating in Banes. We are a family of four and will be visiting Banes for a wedding. has anyone had experience? We are hardy travellers but have been told that it's pretty hard to get food in Banes to feed a family.

I have just read that you have to be 12 to swim with dolphins which we are very disappointed about as our daughter is 10. She is a very strong swimmer. How strict is this age limit? If she isn't able to swim, how close do you get to the dolphins in the boat? Any insight would be very welcome.

How old do you have to be to swim with the dolphins?

i am inquiring about the beach in Playa Turquesa. Is is as small as they say ? Am i able to walk around and enjoy the area or will it be too short ? i am used to the beaches in Florida and in Cancun ??? Thanks .

i am staying in a hotel in guardalavaca but want to visit havana while im in cuba. whats the best way to get there? how much would it cost? and would i ned to stay over in havana for a night or two? please let me know.

thinking of going to Holguin in January but hear that it can can cool at that time of year? Is this true?

lets say ill be staying in Brisas or club Amigo in Guardalavaca, how much would a cab cost to get to holguin downtown, and how long is the ride?

I've been to Holguin two times and stayed at four star hotels both times. i loved the resorts but i must admit i love the city of Holguin much more. i am planning to go again and i am looking for a place to stay the closest possible to the city. what is the clsest resort to the city and how long does it take to get there? because last time i've spent nearly $200 to travel back and forth. Also has anyone here stayed at the Pernik hotel, or other small ones in the city? please describe if it is worth to try it out. i'm not too picky about food or conditions as long as its clean safe and i can sleep at night and not die of food poisoning. what would you suggest for the purpose of staying in the city but with a planned trip so that rules out casa particulares.

I would like to get someone to take a man's and woman's razors to Marbelis and some hair dye to Ayelyn. They both work at the Los Brisas Guadalavaca resort in the public relations office. I can mail you the items if you are able to take them down. Thanks Bill

We are travelling to Cuba in July and as I work in a school I would really like to take some gifts for the children but I am unsure what would be the best to take, bearing in mind my luggage allowance.

Where can a tourist buy items of clothing? I am very keen to buy some Cuban shirts and would also like to get a couple of their summer weight suits. Can these be purchased locally? What is the nearest town or city to shop for these and local crafts etc. Does anyone know how the prices compare with what we pay in Canada?

we are thinking about going to cuba in nov 2007 can anyone tell me if its as good as we here ?

I've read through the 34 pages about Cuba but still can't decide what is best,but did notice that you were at hand to give advice.
The gifts we bring who should we give them to?
Would you advise us to hire a van to get around (there are 6 of us)
Where is the best place to swim with Dolphins?.
Best eating places in Holguin.
Many thanks
