I understand that Thomas Cook will not be flying to Holguin from London as of October which is very sad. We have fallen in love with this place and to return would be very difficult indeed. We owe Holidays Please a massive Thank You for finding us the perfect holiday.

Internet is dire and requires a lot of patience. A holiday should theoretically be free of internet and social media and it was a good thing that you’re rationed to an hour a day. However, if you need it for work/business, it’s not an ideal situation.
