We went to PP in Jan 2008 and found the hotel fantastic. We have booked again for Jan 2014 and must admit that the lastest stream of reviews regarding wedding parties/ large groups are very off putting.
If we hadn't already booked, we feel that we might have looked elsewhere for a holiday.
The hotel went through a spate of bad reviews last year about possible prostiutes working the area as there was a lot of old men with young girls. This too was off putting, however, be the activity true or not, the hotel appeared to sort out any problem.
We are sure that the holiday is what you make of it. We have seen each week, within a two week holiday, to be totally different from each other as travellers come and go. Cuba is slightly different as there are so few flights coming and going. But I am sure we have all witnessed some fluctations in atmosphere from week to week during some holidays.
PP is a big resort and as we are people who like quiet and keep ourselves to ourselves, we will find a quiet corner to take shelter if large parties get in our way....there is plenty of space for everyone.
