Thanks for all the replies and great advice!
Many of the hotels listed are full on the weekend that we want to go!
The only exception is the Radisson SAS). Yet that is NOT the biggest obstacle. Perhaps I am out of touch BUT the price for flight and/or hotel is just outragous!! Flight alone (non stop) would be ~$660 p/p withOUT taxes!! Hotel and flight would be ~$2100!! Furthermore we would be spending $$$ on sightseeing and meals.
I'm sorry but for ~$1000 more, 2 of us can go for 1 week to an all inclusive on the Mayan. Heck for ~$2800 we can stay a week all inclusive 4.5 star in Varadero!!
Lotta's fountain, Market street, The Golden Hydrant @ 20th and Dolores, Golden Gate, Alcatraz, China town et al.....will have to wait
What audacity to ask those prices!
