Last visit to this resort

On our first full day, we encountered an issue in the dinner buffet involving staff members. We were upset that at 8:30pm in the evening, nothing was being replenished for a 10pm closing. No wine, veggies for pasta bar, ice cream and so on. When we decided to leave and go to the snack bar, Bites, to eat, and after the staff became aware that we were not happy, 8-10 staff members came outside and started laughing. One lady in particular was pointing and laughing at us very loudly. When I [... read more] turned around and they say how upset I had become, they all started to scramble, and I wanted to get their names, especially of the one pointing at us. She refused to give me her name, so I threatened to take her picture (which I didn't take), to show it to her supervisor. A young gentleman that was working that evening named Daniel, diffused the situation and apologized for the staff behavior. We were given a bottle of wine for our room, which we never did drink. We then left the buffet, and went to Bites to eat. There, I was approached by a staff member wanted to know my room number. I refused to give it to her. She said she worked in customer service, but I still refused. I was starting to feel like something might happen to us, if we were being followed and they wanted to know where we were staying. The next day, after cooling off with the incident, we talked to a woman who books the ala carte dinners, and explained what had happened the previous evening. She then called in another woman and explained our situation the previous evening. She told me that she would look into our encounter and get back to us. That never happened, so on our last day while waiting for the bus to take us to the airport, I spoke the the gentleman in the Premium lounge, and he took me to the customer service room to clear up what had happened. The same woman that wanted to know my room number was there, and she called in her boss. They both made it sound like I was lying and that their staff did no wrong. Great customer service. I had refused to go back to the buffet for the rest of that week, and stuck to my word. I was humiliated at the buffet and then again by the customer service. After my 3rd trip to this resort, I will never be back.

Great trip and Resort

We visited Memories Caribe during the week of Feb. 8, 2026. We were repatriated back home to Canada on Feb. 16. Aside from the geopolitics with Cuba, the resort overall, and resort staff continued to do amazing work to ensure we were always satisfied and happy. At no time did the stress of what was taking place outside the resort for these employees play a role in how they went about their work with us. I witnessed strong, dedicated, resilient people. We were well aware of the conditions they fa [... read more]ced at home, and even while we enjoyed the resources of the resort, it was never far from our minds of the challenges they faced when they went home. Many of them working 16 hour days, more than 7 consecutive days in a row. We travelled to Cuba for many years, and this is the biggest challenge and hardship they will ever face, by far. Our hearts go out to the people of Cuba and when the time is right we will return to Cuba and to Memories Caribe.

Some disappointment after a Better visit 2025

Weather was cooler not controllable-- -West jet no seat selection at 24 hours to departure ,even tho it stated in West jet details plus they sent special email to check in and seat select--- this needs to be very clear, and updated . They just want to put you anywhere - trip central -Wendy H was her usual helpful travel advisor. And warned us of potential for issues - no hot water in our rooms except for warm x 20min once And weather wS chilly 15 to 23degrees -al la carts where not ver [... read more]y in tune to their nation Italian. Only dessert matched -- disappointing Wine ,,white was rarely available. And the other mixed drinks had reduced PRODUCT available IN Supply Pool was very cold only 3 people ever went i. In the 3 times we frequented -westjetstaff were good even tho the company procedures etc were not adhered to I felt more sad for our friends who joined us as they really did not have a good exposure to how cuba might have presented..

Cayo coco cuba

I would not recommend Cayo coco Cuba. Stay home. I feel they should close this resort. We did not have any hot water to shower all week also 2 days only air came out of tap.weather was windy and cold so no beach days when weather is like that. There was human sewage on the lawns. Smelled awful. Birds pooping on walls and tables where you go to eat at smogisboard. There also shortage of clean beach towels and toilet paper.and absolutely no face cloths we paid for premium superior deluxe rooms and [... read more] guess what they are all the same. Our friends who we traveled with there room was musty smelling..the coffee came cold at the restaurants.Our fridge in room really did not keep things cold. We were promised 4 alcarts and only got 3. The food was all the same no special food at premium restaurant which we paid extra for we had premium class superior deluxe which we paid extra for. Trip was a total disappointment. We were to have early book in our rooms but that did not happen either. The people of Cuba are amazing friendly people. I would not go back . I would give this place a complete miss 0/10.

Nice resort

NO HOTWATER ALL WEEK !!...but the entertainment was good..staff very friendly....they just have to fix the hot water issue....food was ok...the beach is great !!!..pizza at the beach was awesome...they bars were good too..

Beautiful beach

Enjoyed our stay at Memories Caribe. Great beach beautiful grounds. Only issue was lack of hot water on some days. Route 66 sports bar was a great place to hang out and the access to the bus for the cave bar made the trip. No issues with shortages or bugs.

Memories caribe

For the money ,this hotel was excellent. Was it a luxurious 5 star?.nope but for a very reasonable price it offered a clean air-conditioned room with a fridge and a balcony.an incredibly beautiful beach,clean pool and a good variety of food..excellent beach pizza and "bites bar"had very good sandwiches..animation team did a good job keeping it fun around the pool as well..I'll go back??

NOT a 4-star hotel.

This hotel is about a 2.5 (star). The beach was beautiful...jelly fish, turtles, crabs, sea cucumbers, pelicans, ballyhoo, etc and beautiful, clear water with white sand! Garbage could be picked up more frequently from the bins, the bush, the sand, etc. The piano bar was also a very nice place to relax during the day and every evening there was live (very good), entertainment. The glass/windows were never cleaned anywhere, mold was present everywhere and often cheaply painted over to cover it [... read more] up. Many rooms (including premium), did not have hot water and a few even had cockroaches. Towels and bedding often had stains and some rooms never had their dirty towels changed. Food/buffet was often very repetitive or limited (serving wieners 3 different ways at once), and as expected, not much flavour. A la carte was better. Friendliness wasn't bad, but employees seemed to be mediocre (in all areas...groundskeepers, waitresses, bus drivers, etc).

Beautiful resort!!

Very friendly staff and great food !!! There was so much to do and the beaches were breathtaking!!! I will go back there not just again but exclusively when I travel to Cuba.i can’t see anywhere else in Cuba that would match this place ❤️

Not impressed

Third time at this resort and yes the gounds and beach are beautiful but no hot water all week. Towels and sheets not changed and not a great selection of food. It isn't like it used to be. Both Sunwing and Trip Cenral are endorsing this resort as a 4+ star when it should be a 3 at best.

Very nice resort

For the price this resort is perfect. Pool was cooler than we'd have liked but did get in anyway. The grounds were very well kept although there were low spots here and there with water in them which looked mosquito infested.

Memories caribe- Cayo Coco

Just got back from Memories Caribe and had an awesome trip overall. Great vibe, great people, and a beach that honestly steals the show. The good stuff • Shockingly comfy bed • Gorgeous lagoon view from our balcony (room 2016) — 10/10 would wake up to that again • Super central location near the beach, buffet, pool, and premium breakfast • Staff were AMAZING — friendly, warm, and genuinely cared • The beach ? Unreal. Stingrays, starfish, jellyfish, pelicans… basically a nature docum [... read more]entary The not-so-great • One king bed shared with my niece (bonding level: extreme) • Bathroom privacy = nonexistent (glass toilet, open shower… good luck) • No hot water for showers all week • Pool was very cold • Nightlife shut down early (piano bar at 11 pm, nightclub shortly after) • Concierge wasn’t much help on our delayed-flight chaos day Pro tip Bring ketchup, peanut butter, oatmeal, toilet paper, and bug spray. I survived the mosquitoes… my niece did not. Overall A charming resort with a fun vibe, amazing staff, and a stunning beach. A few hiccups, but the memories (pun intended) were worth it.

Will return

Am a repeat visitor to this resort. The people are great. Very friendly and helpful. Had the pleasure of meeting Maria from public relations. I personally think the ala carte restaurants are very good. The resort is very clean and the beach is beautiful. My only criticism is the inconsistency of hot water and the lack of water pressure for showers.

Good Resort - Getting a little dated

Dec 22 - 29th!! Good Resort, Getting a little old. Beach's and Beach bar's & food shacks were good, clean and white sands!!. Lot's of Bar's - food options! Staff is very friendly and grateful to help! Lacked coke & soda water? No hot-water for showers. Pool was cold New staff change-over, slow on room access & set-up, supplies

Memories Caribe

The resort was beautiful The room was nice however I asked for a blanket and never received one, towels were never changed, we only received water in fridge no beer or pop, no water pressure for a shower Buffet food was the same stuff every day

Definitely would go back

Must admit we were a little apprehensive about returning to Cuba, but I must say if you go with an open mind and a go with the flow attitude, you will experience the most beautiful beaches and amazing people ever. The hotel was clean, the food in the specialty restaurants was very impressive, and the people work extremely hard to make sure your needs are met

Warm ocean and warmer smiles...

Wonderful visit to this resort this past week! Premium service provided us with valued perks: delicious fresh made to order food at the beach grill, fine dining at the Premium dinner night, Guest Service care through the premium lounge and direct extension phone. The beach water is stunning and calm. The gems of this resort are the Staff. Premium Concierge Staff: Wilson, Eduardo, Maria & Miguel Premium Beach Staff: Fidel (absolutely hardest working Staff member; takes drink orders at the  [... read more]beach and painfully hauls all the drinks to everyone and does it with a genuine smile. Fidel is the ROCKSTAR HERO of this resort!!!

Beautiful Beach!

The hotel grounds are beautiful and clean. The food at the buffet was good. The a la carte restaurants are really great. Only complaint is our beds were uncomfortable. We asked to have the toilet seat attached and the maintenance never came to fix in the 11 days that we were there. This was our 17th time at this resort.

Mon évaluation sur le Memories Caribe Beach Cayo Coco.

Bonjour Kevin, Nous ne sommes pas des voyageurs difficiles alors pour nous tous s'es bien passer et les petits problèmes on été règler rapidement. 1. Emplassement: situer à 20 minutes en taxi de l'aéroport ou entre 30 à 45 minutes en autobus selon les arrêts à faire. 2. Resort comme tel: pas trop petit n'y trop vaste, un très bon juste milieu. Il a environ 25 ans et est entretenu convenablement. 3. Chambre. Première chambre (Bloque 19) n'était pas convenable. Première chose que je vérifie le [... read more] coffre fort pas fonctionnel, manque de couverture et seulement 2 vers. 3ième lit en place m'est pas de couverture. Notre agent mis au courant de la situation et le resort à rectifier amicalement la situation en nous changent de bloque (bloque 24 unité 2416 chambre parfaite pour les femmes). Ils sont en rénovation dans certain bloque pour un up grade. 4. Manger: Excellent , oui à l'occasion il peut manquer certain item mais ont ne peut ce plaindre. Service et propreté numéro 1 à tout les emplacement. (Snack bar, buffet et à la carte). 5: La force du Resort, SA PLAGE ELLE EST INCROIYABLE.
