Any of these need to be avoided in August ???

Encantador

Cuba
Mexico
Maldives

Lokking for a 4-5* holiday, ideally all inclusive. Prices seem reasonable at the travel agents. Just wondering if there is a reason for this.

I know that when the travel agent says 4* they actually mean 4 TTTT or 4 AAAA etc etc, NOT 4 *

Does a 4-5 (whatever) mean more or less in any of these places.

We want a sun/sea/pool holiday with a bit of luxury (for a change), any ideas, thoughts or even better specific hotel recommendations welcome.

Thanks in advance

Its hurricane season in cuba and mexico that time of year, that's one reason why they're cheap. Alson not the best time of year to go to Maldives due to high rainfall. Between Dec and May is the best place for above places.
I think Mauritius has better weather this time of year and seen some deals with https://www.thg.co.uk.
Hope this helps

We went to Holguin in Cuba in August two years ago, only had two days of rain the whole two weeks. we stayed in the Sol Rio de Luna y Mares a fabulous hotel which is all inclusive. I would go back tomorrow. Check it out on trip advisor.

Hi

We have booked to go to Gala resort Huatulco Mexico it is 4* accomodation and I haven't read a bad review on it yet our price was£1455 for a couple for 2 weeks all inclusive dont know what they are now but we thought that was really good.
Huatulco is on the paciffic coast of Mexico the side they call unspoilt but I have never visited the carribean side so I cant really comment on that.

Good luck whatever you decide to do.
