Hello, all.
I stumbled upon this type of vacation and specifically CFI within the last couple of months, and after reading the forums I can't wait to visit CFI!
Planning around my work schedule, the best time seems to be ~Dec 23rd to Jan 1st. Of course I am finding that airline ticket prices are high; I'm watching and hoping for a dip in prices so I can lock it in.
Is anyone planning on being there that week? I'm curious if any veterans have thoughts about my timing... would this be a great week to be there (no better way to ring in the New Year!)? Or maybe the worst week because it's over Christmas Holiday?

Haven’t been there at that time of year but I know a few guests that have been there at those times. They get there right after Christmas and stay after the New Year’s Day. This way all the family stuff is done on Christmas. But they have always enjoyed it there at that time.

I did a stay over New Years a couple years ago. It was a pretty good party. They had a huge show in the lot behind the original location. Some good music, lots of dancing. Must have been several hundred people. We had great seats to see the whole thing sitting right at poolside. It went on till well after midnight. The weather from what I remember was pleasant with some rain but very comfortable when the sun went down.

I have been there over new years. Big, big fireworks display on the beach right in front of us. Weather is awesome that time of the year.

I'm hoping to head down 29 December to 13 January. Hope to see some of you guys on the veranda.

I have heard it’s pretty fun around new year’s. I would think that coming on Christmas could be an issue as the ladies have families but I would think bulldog or fior would be better to advise on that.

As Sailor said the lot behind the original CFI looks like has been made into a high end party atmosphere complex. I believe they have a restaurant and multiple bars, a pool, and plenty of open space to dance under the moonlight or roof.

Thanks for the feedback. Very helpful! I was wondering if Christmas day might be tough due to the ladies needing family time; I'll make sure to be flexible!!

Me personally would not want to be there on Christmas Day. Maybe if you get there late night and get your chica the next morning it can work out. The other possibility would be to arrive in the evening and get a chica at that time. But I would mostly get that worked out with Bulldog before I finalize my ticket.

I booked my flights, arriving very late Sunday the 18th. I really wanted to be there over New Years, but that didn't work out. I am splitting my time between Boca 1 and Boca 3. Can't wait!

Good to hear you’re all set. Look at the bright side it’s less days you have to count down before you get there. Enjoy your trip.
