Title: Holidays! Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Monday, September 19, 2005, 18:29:34 My sister just went there this morning. I took her to the airport. She said if you have been to the caribean before you wont like it because its the crappest Island. But if you have never been you will enjoy it as its different. Bob went last year when that hurricane chased him out of jamaica.

NMH Title: Holidays! Post by: Kinky Tom on Tuesday, September 20, 2005, 07:57:20 Don't go to Barbados - unless you just want to do bugger all all the time you're there.
I went with my folks a few years ago and everything closes about 22:30 - pretty nice place, some nice food, discovered rum there but that is it. Title: Holidays!

Found some deals for dominican republic for £440 self catering for a week not sure if thats great or not or whether to wait for a last minute deal?!?! Title: Holidays! Post by: pumbaa on Tuesday, September 20, 2005, 16:40:15 Asher, be careful going self catering. Remember Dom Rep is effectively a third world country, and doesn't really have strips of bars and restaurants that are tourist friendly like the main european resorts. You should be OK in Puerto Plata (North Coast), but we went to Bavaro (East coast) - 12 hour flight from UK + 2 hour coach tx, nice 4* hotel all inclusive 14 nights for just over 700 quid in May 2003. Not the best holiday I've had, but OK. Don't go between August & October - bloody hurricanes, should be OK in January. Excursions are expensive and it full of Spanish (Dom Rep is a former Spanish colony). I'd say the same about Jamaica too wrt self catering. Let me know if you want more info.
