Fantasy Island Promo

[jjach]

I got a e-mail today from Fantasy Island. They have a promo going on for $882 pp for 7 days. Normal stuff included, 3 meals, some drinks and 3 boat dives per day. I would not mind going back there again, but I am not sure what to expect. We were there 4 or 5 years ago. It was not that bad, but we were expecting a 3 star at best. That is what we got. I have not seen enough positive reviews about them recently, so I am still hesitant about trying them again.

Damn. I just paid $2400 for me and Herself for a week at that other place across the channel from FIBR.

For that kind of deal at FIBR, for that money- I could still take the wife plus even pay to bring down a girlfriend, too. Must find out if Jennifer Lawrence is a scoober divor.

FIBR From now, thru March:

• Transfers from Airport or Ferry to Hotel
• Welcome Cocktail on arrival
• Accommodation in standard room with oceanview private balcony
• Breakfast, lunch and dinner
• 2 snacks a day served at the bar
• Unlimited “of the house” drinks, sodas and juice

• Fresh fruit, water and towels aboard

If anybody goes (and comes back), please let us know what an "all day animation staff" is really doing.

So that's the full def of a 3* room.

Does it say anywhere that the reading light has to be working?

Better hurry, just returned from cocoview yesterday and it looks like FIBR's Gazebo is about to finally fall in the ocean.

 

[ReefHound]

Does that include beer and alcoholic drinks? Nitrox?

It says wifi in lobby included. Is there pay wifi that reaches the rooms?

 

[Doc]

From what has been reported, "some".

I dunno.

"It" says that, but it's short range, occasional and sluggish.

No.
