Great time!!!

4 adults- had a great time. Good food (for Cuba), good drinks and a goodtime had by all 4 of us. 3rd time at this hotel and hopefully 4th next year. Cuba is suffering from what is going on in this world but we plan on returning if we can next year to Aston Cost Verde Beach Resort.

Great vacation in January 2024

We have been booking our winter vacations with TripCentral for over 20 years. It has always been a problem-free and stress-free process. This year we booked with Danielle Smith, and we were not disappointed: she was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and very patient answering all my questions. She offered the Aston Costa Verde hotel, advised on insurance options, reminded us of the formal requirements for the trip, and generally took good care of us. We have been very pleased with the hotel and  [... read more]the services it offers. The beach and the grounds are gorgeous, the hotel and the pools were well-maintained, internet access in the rooms and at the pools, no problems with hot water or electricity, the food was fine, and there were daily activities and entertainment in the evenings. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the hotel organizes a special dinner party for their repeat customers. We are certainly going back and maybe we will make the special dinner some day…

6th trip and awesome!!

We have been at this resort 6 times. We love the crew, beach and club pool. Finally the snack bar got burgers and fries again!!! Awesome. Want to throw shout out to Wilbur, Leo (club bar), Katerina and our favorite pool guy, Bajonie (definatly spelling that wrong). Bajonie is the guy who keeps the pools running and absolutely pristine. Also our life guards that do a great job keeping an eye on foolish tourist lol. I wish I knew more names of all the great workers but they all are great.  [... read more] We brought the workers a few battery pack chargers, some solar. Power is a great gift.

Love this place

The hotel and grounds are breathtaking, all the workers and gardeners are so very friendly and hospitable. The beach is paradise, it is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, the tree line is only 100 feet from the water so it easily gives off this tropical vibe, the beachfront is in a protected bay so most days are calm crystal clear, water, snorkeling, and scuba diving are exceptional here Food could be better, but there is always an array of choices

Great resort

grounds beach are all fine,found the buffets not as good as last year.. should not have mussells as main corse and then in several side dishes evidently batteries are in short supply for the shuttle carts,evidently other resorts have this problem

Amazing

Just recently stayed at the resort and our group was impressed. The rooms are a little dated especially washrooms but we went to enjoy the weather not the washrooms ?. The grounds are very well kept, pools are clean and the staff was super friendly. The food was what we expected in Cuba but you will not go hungry. Overall we had a spectacular time and definitely will be going back

Watch out!!!

This hotel. Well I'm not one to generally complain about things I usually go with the flow and find fun almost anywhere. However I must say something when it needs to be said. The hotel staff were nice and friendly as always like Cubans generally are. Drinks flowed greatly and the beach was fine along with the ocean. The food was, well... "It's Cuba" as they say, but selections are getting limited. Quickly. Fresh pasted only showed up on day 5 of 7. However...WATCH OUT!!!! Room  [... read more]37314, for sure had bed bugs and I was bit many times. I wasn't aware it was bed bugs until I got home and had it confirmed by the doctor. I just assumed it was mosquito bites, but to be honest there was just too many bites to be consistent with mosquitos. Sadly .... At least in this room, my room and the bed closest to the balcony, there are bed bugs. If you travel to this resort do not stay in room 37314 and be aware that sadly Cuba is sliding down hill. There could be more rooms with bed bugs. It's too bad the Cuba government isn't stepping in and helping themselves and their people. The people of Cuba need their government to step up. I love Cuba, been there 10-times, but it is getting worse each time. And it could be my last trip to Cuba.

Great resort

Unfortunately when we arrived on January 6 we were notified of a death in our family so had to return home so did not enjoy our vacation m. We would like to commend our Sunwing Representative Annabelle Carballido as if not for her we would not have known what to do. You can tell she loves her job and she cares so once again thank you. Hopefully we can afford to book another trip with trip central

It's Cuba!

I have been going to Holguin, Cuba for many years and will continue to do so. However, I do not go for the resorts but for the people and friends I have made over the years. The staff at the resort are doing their best to serve their clients but they can only work with what they have. The good: The staff are amazing, the rooms, although dated are clean and comfortable. The beach and the sea are absolutely stunning. The bad: The food is no longer appealing to me, much of it appeared and taste [... read more]d to be reheated leftovers. The was no fresh fruit or vegetables, butter or fresh juice. I no longer go to the al a Cartes as there is no variety in that either and the food is tasteless. There is also a shortage of staff to serve the clients, and I noted many were very upset with the long wait times. The lack of loungers at the beach and also the pool caused some difficult interactions between clients and staff. Although I did not get bitten by a mosquito due to using a Deet insect repellent daily, the chikungunya virus is rampant in the area, and I did not once see the resort fumigating for the mosquitos as I had in past. Many of my Cuban friends, including resort staff, have been sick with the virus. The resort owners need to put some money and effort into upgrading the resort otherwise I foresee many clients like myself not returning. My opinion is that the resort is not a 4-star as listed on the Trip Central site, but more like a 2.5-star. The value for the money is no longer there.

Not the greatest resort

Very nice place to stay. Although no entertainment at night, mainly elderly people and children visiting. Service is extremely slow and we had to go to front desk 4 times before our sink could have a pipe attached and we could use it. People are nice. Not always the cleanest. Food is not the greatest.

Pleasant

The staff and service were really good it was clean, the food was what I expected in Cuba, there is a fair bit to do in the area Some nice restaurants not far off the resort, my least favourite part was the beach being a bit rocky as you waked out, not everywhere and nothing some water shoes couldn’t take care of all in all a great vacation

Hard to explain

I have been going to this hotel since it was called BLEU COSTA VERDE. I have been here MANY times and made many friends along the way. This is the only time that i was not satisfied with my services. I'm not one to complain because i understand the situation going on in cuba. My room was horrible

About par for the course in Cuba

Every time we choose to go to Cuba, we swear it is the last time. But undoubtedly, we go back because of the price point. This resort lacks in many respects. Some of the issues may be seasonal (the mosquitos at the beach devoured us - mostly because there is a jungle right behind the beach - so bring bug spray if you choose this resort). The food situation was remarkably poorer than usual. There were little to no fruits available. All the dairy and proteins look suspect. I get it, their supply c [... read more]hain limitations are evident. The Beach - this was a bit of a disappontment. You hope that the lack of food and amenities is offset by a beautiful beach. That is not the case. Most of the water has sharp rocks that you have to bypass in order to get to a slightly clearer area. Essentially no running into the water. Then there is the aforementioned mosquitos - you can't see them, but they pack a punch - at least 50-60 bites that I still have healing now several days back. Also the beach is sort of off to the side of the resort, not like where you walk from the resort to beach. Also, maybe seasonal, but there is not lunch restaurant open to go from the beach. We had to come all the way back to the buffet for a bite to eat at lunch. We ended up just asking for a burger at the pool bar to take to the beach. The service is great, everyone is friendly and willing to help out with a smile - I guess this is the one thing they have under their control. The entertainment is sparse, so don't expect a show at night. They have some activities for kids and not much else. There is no "club" to go to dance, mostly just tables in a terrace area where you can sit and drink. The rooms are decent, and they are well attended to. The water in the sink and shower is a murky yellow. Make sure you have bottled water on the counter to brush your teeth. Also in our particular room the water would not drain quickly, probably because of the sand that people shower off. I'm not sure. We did enjoy great weather which can be a saving grace. Enjoy!

Great resort for the value

We stayed here for 7 days and had an absolutely amazing experience. The people were incredibly nice and accommodating.. from the gardeners to the towel lady, servers, chefs, and kitchen staff, everyone made us feel like family. The resort truly feels like a hidden gem.... peaceful, relaxing, and beautifully maintained. The beach is stunning, with clear water and plenty of space. The food was very good and there were always great options to choose from, which was a pleasant surprise after hear [... read more]ing mixed reviews about food in Cuba. If you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway with warm hospitality and great service, this is the perfect spot. We’ll definitely be returning.

Amazing beach

The beach was the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. Sands were so white and smooth and it went out like that in the water for feet and feet. It had no rocks or any green algae. It was clean and beautiful.

We enjoyed this hotel very much

I am writing on behalf of five men who are friends and went together to Aston. This was their overall message: We want to thank Aston staff and management for a memorable stay Your service was very good and we have made lasting friends. And of course the beach is lovely

Great resort

All staff members were excellent. The drinks were not watered down and they had expensive whiskeys. They made a lot of tasty drinks including mojitos, rum and coke, gin and tonic. There was less selection of food compared to my previous trips to Cuba. There was chicken every day and that was good. they also had the omlette station and pasta/stir fry stations. They ran out of bread after the first couple of days. There were no berries and most of the fruit was canned. The 24 hour snack bar h [... read more]ad amazing plantain chips. They also had good sandwiches but couldn't make them after they ran out of bread. Limitation in variety of food is to be expected in Cuba. There was plenty of drinking water and there were no power outages. The safe in our room didn't work but we didn't ask to have it fixed. The beach was breath taking but you should bring aqua shoes because it's rocky once you get in. A lot of people go there for the snorkelling. I would recommend bringing toilet paper and wipes to clean your hands as the bathrooms in the common areas weren't always stocked. We weren't close to the lobby which was good because it was quiet. There was a short cut to get to the lobby but we noticed it became wet and weren't sure if there was an issue with the sewage so we used the regular pathway on the sidewalks. They also have the carts that go around to help people with their luggage and they will give you a lift if you need. There was also a band that played in the buffet and in the 24 hour snack bar.
