Bonjour à tous les voyageurs!
J'ai besoin de commentaires récents provenant du Blau colonial. Ce que j'entends est plutôt négatifs et j'aimerais connaître vos expériences.
Merci!
Nous sommes revenus mardi le 26 janvier du Blau Colonial. Nous avions réservé avec Nolitours et nous n'avons pas été déçus. La partie Caméléon Or qui a été rénovée récemment, appartient à Nolitours. C'est très bien, tout est propre. En arrivant, il y avait dans notre chambre une bouteille de rhum et des petits biscuits, des serviettes de plage, deux robes de chambre ainsi que des pantoufles et des accessoires de toilettes. Pour la nourriture, n'oubliez pas que c'est Cuba, on ne doit pas s'attendre à une cuisine gastronomique, mais on peut toujours trouver quelque chose à se mettre sous la dent. Il y a un buffet Grand Salon Rocamar réservé à Nolitours, vous pouvez toujours l'essayer mais nous avons préféré le Restaurant buffet Plaza qui est juste à côté. Le restaurant italien Fontanella est excellent. Le restaurant cubain Caribino est moyen, nous n'avons pas essayé le restaurant de fruits de mer Dorado donc aucun commentaire. Nous avions aussi une réservation pour un souper pour les gens du Caméléon Or, vous pouvez l'essayer si vous voulez mais nous n'avons pas aimé à cause de manque de choix à la carte (porc ou poisson). Pour ce qui est du site, c'est très beau et propre, il y a de l'animation près du lobby. Tout est pas mal centralisé au lobby. On trouve également des petits kiosques de souvenirs. Une machine à beignes qui n'ont pas la même forme que les nôtres mais qui sont très bons. On peut aussi faire cuire nos viandes sur un BBQ à l'extérieur près du buffet Plaza. Il y a une très belle végétation. Nous étions au Blau du 18 au 25 janvier et il a fait beau et chaud toute la semaine quoique un peu venteux certain jour. Le vent nous aidait à supporter la chaleur. La mer est magnifique et la plage bien entrenue. Vous pouvez faire du pédalo, du catamaran (petit), du cayak (gratuit) et quelques excursions dont un tour de calèche, de cheval, speed boat, catamaran (gros), de bateau à fond de verre qui part directement de la plage, de jeep etc.. vous trouverez sûrement quelque chose qui vous plaira. Nous avons pris l'excursion Spectacular Ciego de Avila, çà vaut vraiment la peine, çà nous a coûté 75 pesos convertibles chacun soit 175$ Cdn.
Nous avons aussi entendu des commentaires sur la partie qui n'est pas du côté de Nolitours. On nous a dit que c'était propre mais que les matelas étaient presque finis, quelques tuiles manquantes et que certains avaient vu des coquerelles dans leur chambre ce qui n'a pas été le cas de notre côté. Si vous y allez, demandez d'avoir une chambre dans les 3000 avec vue sur la mer, nous avions la chambre 2663 et nous avions vue sur une sorte de lagon. Nous avons beaucoup notre expérience au Blau Colonial.
Je vais essayer me mettre des photos sur Diaporama Voyages à rabais.
Si vous avez d'autres questions, n'hésitez pas. Bonne journée.
I’m planning to go to an all-inclusive resort next April. I know it’s the start of sargassum season, but I was wondering if it really affects swimming. Do hotels clean the beach? Is it still possible to swim?
I’d like to book an all-inclusive trip next April. My criteria: 1) no sargassum, 2) 4 stars or higher, 3) ability to snorkel right from the hotel beach, and 4) safe.
Hey, I’d like to know which hotel in the south doesn’t force you to wake up at 4 AM just to reserve a shady chair, whether it’s at the beach or the pool.
Hi,
For my husband's 50th birthday, we're going to Mombasa for 10 days and 8 nights in March 2026.
I found a hotel, the Kappa Club Crystal Bay Resort, and online reviews for this hotel recommend a guide named Omar. I contacted him via WhatsApp, and he's offering a 2-day, 1-night safari in Tsavo East, a "blue safari," and a Marafa Canyon day trip for 400 € per person.
I’m asking for help from people who’ve already done these excursions because I have no idea what these offers entail.
Thank you for any advice you can give me about this trip.

Hi everyone, I’m writing here because I’m really torn—I want to go on a trip. A vacation? 10 to 12 days, maybe 14 days. Starting March 14th. I’m in a wheelchair but completely independent. I was thinking of going to Martinique, but apparently, the hotels aren’t all-inclusive, which might be a hassle. If you have any advice, that’d be great. Otherwise, I was considering Mexico—a long-time dream. At an all-inclusive hotel with accessibility on one level (since I’m independent but in a wheelchair). Do you know of any nice, budget-friendly hotels with activities in Mexico? Or Zanzibar is also an option for me, same idea.
Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any tips, that would be amazing so I can finally make up my mind and plan my trip without too much stress. I’m looking ahead so I have plenty of time. Feel free to ask questions if you’d like. Thanks for your feedback, have a great evening!
Hi everyone,
happy to be back on this site.
I’m tired of spending hours and hours searching for all-inclusive hotels for my first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
Can anyone recommend 5 or 6 hotel names that meet the following criteria? (I’m not too picky, lol)
1. All-inclusive
2. Adults-only
3. Beautiful beach and pool
4. Hotel for relaxing (no "factory hotels")
5. One-week stay in February 2026
6. A nice hotel (3 or 4 stars) but no need for an ultra-palace
Oh, and I almost forgot the main thing 😉: budget between 3500 € and 4000 € for two, including flights from Montreal-Mexico-Montreal.
Thanks to all of you for your recommendations!

I’m looking into November (first, will it be warm enough for snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh?) and especially for feedback on hotels. I’ve read that the clientele is mostly Italian or Russian. Are there any French-speaking hotels—or at least mixed ones?
We’re a retired couple and are looking for a hotel around 1,000 € per week.
We’ll be in Cairo beforehand and will take a domestic flight.
Thanks in advance.
We’re thinking of booking an "all-inclusive" trip so we don’t have to worry too much... for a week at the beginning of next September, but we’re torn between several destinations: Crete? Cyprus? Sicily? Sardinia? The only thing we’re really looking for is sunshine. Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!
Hi there,
I’m planning a stay at the Sian Kan in the Riviera Maya and was wondering if anyone’s been there recently. If so, are the location, welcome, services, and food still as excellent as they used to be? I’ve heard that since the train between Cancun and Tulum was built, things might have gone downhill.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there, I’m a 43-year-old woman planning to travel solo in early March. I’m not really into "commercial resorts," but if I find a place that fits my criteria, I might be interested. To add to the info in the title, I’m open to various activities, but ideally, it’d include snorkeling, hiking, dance (every evening if possible!), group tours, etc. I’d love to meet people (not necessarily a man—just people in general!). I’m not necessarily aiming for the cheapest resort, but since it’s spring break week and everything’s already pricier, 5-star options are probably out of the question. Thanks!
Hello!
What a pleasure to be back on Voyage Forum!
We’ll be in Venice from March 20th to 24th, and I’m looking (for two couples) for a hotel close to St. Mark’s Square—my husband can’t walk long distances. For four nights with breakfast, our budget is around 1,400 € per couple. To avoid too much walking for him, I’d also prefer a hotel where we could potentially eat dinner in the evenings.
If anyone has any recommendations, thank you in advance to those who reply!
We’re planning a week-long trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights.
We’re looking at staying from March 22nd to 30th: will we still be able to see the Northern Lights, or is it too late in the season?
We found a deal on Voyage Privé that seems like a good price, with a hotel in Reykjavik. If we rent a car, are there any interesting sites we can visit during the day, since we’re tied to returning to Reykjavik every night—or else we’d lose our nights at the hotel!
Hi,
I was planning a trip to Hurghada at the end of March, but it's the end of Ramadan.
Some people are telling me I should avoid it.
What do you think?
Thanks
Hi
I can’t manage to get in touch directly with one of the hotels in Prachuap...
like Prachuap Grand Hotel or Prachuap Beach Hotel...
has anyone been there recently?
or have any info?
Thanks everyone...
Hi there,
We’re heading to Argentina and Chile in February 2025. I’d love to know if it’s recommended to book accommodations (hotels, guesthouses, etc.) in advance, especially in Patagonia? Thanks for your tips!
Hi everyone,
I’d like to book 2 nights at a camp inside Etosha (Halali).
However, online, I’ve found two sites for making this reservation:
The first is the Etosha National Park site: https://etoshanationalpark.co.za
You can’t pay online there—you just submit a reservation request (enquiry).
The second is the NWR (Namibia Wildlife Resorts) site: https://www.nwr.com.na, where you *can* pay online.
Is the latter one reliable?
Thanks so much for your tips!
