Paradisus Rio De Oro: Great resort

Everything was amazing. Costumer service was exceptional. In room service was included. Definetely the best resort I've ever been to. Beach has place for sweaming and snorkling. Restaurants were really good

Hotel Camino del Mar: Great beach, clean resort and good food!!

Incredible beach and super location.Staff is excellent is all area's, good service and good food.Rooms a little tired, but spacious, clean and safe. This was my 2nd time here and it wont be my last. An excellent location for those who want the sun, sand and relaxing atmosphere. ,

Hotel Camino del Mar: Decent resort

Arrival at the resort is quick from the airport, check in was fairly speedy. However, as a group of 8, one of the rooms had been stripped and still had belongings from the last people inside when we checked in. This was quickly cleared up. Bar service was good, could use a few more servers as it was sometimes slow when it got busier in the lobby. Food overall was not bad, I am picky and managed to find something everyday. Did pick up an e-coli bug before leaving, but not sure where it was from.  [... read more]The pier and beach are great, nice views, good swimming and fishing. The staff where great, the lady in the towel hut was accommodating to allow us to keep our fishing gear there, close to the beach so as not to lug it around. The guys at the lunch bar went above and beyond in preparing a snapper we caught off of the pier for our lunch, was amazing. And the folks in the buffet also prepared a table and some wahoo that we caught for us and made a big deal about it. The chef in the international restaurant made a gluten free cake for us with ingredients we brought and provided champagne for a birthday celebration. So, staff go above to make sure you are happy. The rooms could use some updating, most of our safes did not work, tried to have it fixed but with no luck. Toilets didn’t flush well and very little water pressure in our room, but it was reasonably clean. Decent place for the money.

Melia Jardines del Rey: Very impressed with the resort

We were the lucky winners of the Trivia contest; Thank you Trip Central. As result of prior visits to Cuba, we are reluctant to go back however this resort surpassed previous experiences by far. The staff was always pleasant and eager to please. Meals were as good as DR however we stuck to fish and chicken. Entertainment in the daytime was lacking, probably due to miscommunication with the guests and low season. Evening shows seemed good however we found that we were exhausted by the time  [... read more]shows started so did not stay long. Would suggest the resort should label foods and provide drink menus. Ala-cartes we pleasant and presentation very professional.

Melia Las Antillas: Amazing vacation

Great staff, good food and beautiful beaches. We felt safe leaving the resort and taking the bus to explore varadero. We went to craft market and local shopping center. I strongly suggest doing the Jeep Safari and Havana excursion.

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Paradisus Rio De Oro

Very well maintained property, friendly staff, spacious and clean rooms, although somewhat dated. The hotel is situated on a large property, a lot of trees between the two storey buildings, numerous shaded areas to get away from the noise and relax with a book in hand. We would highly recommend the a la carte restaurants, the food is well prepared and exquisitely presented. Excellent experience!

Melia Las Americas: Fabulous resort, amazing vacation!!

Melia Las Americas was an awesome resort with lovely people and great service. Beautiful beach, grounds and pools. I have been to different resorts across Cuba and the food here is the best I've had so far! Really enjoyed the a la carte restaurants and the variety in the buffet restaurant - wow! Had a fabulous week and will return for sure! If you are a golfer, the course is beautiful...especially the 18th!

Melia Las Americas: Great All Round Resort

Resort clean/well kept, attn to detail very good, staff. Food good/plentiful. Staff efficient/friendly/helpful. Entertainment in lobby most nites as well in theatre. Lots of lounge chairs/great beach. Very popular for 18 hole golf - would definitely return

Melia Las Americas: Keeps Getting Better!

This was our third visit and it just keeps getting better! The most impressive change was the quality of the food. It was wonderful! The beach is stunning and the rooms never disappoint. The golf course was busy but very accommodating. We will be planning our next visit soon!

Hotel Camino del Mar: Another wonderful trip

We just love this resort. This was our sixth trip to Cayo Guillermo. It is starting to feel like a second home. It is a smaller resort, so you are never far away from any of the amenities. The staff are simply fantastic. You are always met with a smile, whether it be the General Manager, a gardener, a life guard or servers. All staff seem to genuinely care about your satisfaction. As always, the beach at Cayo Guillermo is among the very best anywhere. The pier seems to be a magnet for wildlif [... read more]e and we love to see the birds and fish that frequent the area. Food quality is above average for Cuba. The rooms are clean and everything worked as it should. The infrastructure is a little older but we here that renovations are coming. We have always felt completely safe here. On or off the resort. We will be back!

Hotel Camino del Mar: My best Cuban resort

It was the best resort I went too, Edel our waiting was amazing!! He was always ready for us and helped with everything we needed (including set up for friends bday, and perpare fish we caught). It’s the best fishing resort. Everyone was friendly. The food the same, but enough supplies to change it up now and then. I’m a picky eater but had more then enough to eat. Staff was super friendly.

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Varadero Wonderland

The name says it all – it’s real Paradisus. Wide beach with the white clean sand. Beautiful Ocean. Pelicans are swimming along with you. The place is green, flowered, and clean. Mosquitos are sprayed on a regular basis. Wi-Fi everywhere in the main area. Dyson hand dryers in the washrooms. No matter where you’re located everything is close to you. If not bell boy will be at your location in 5 min. The best possible service you can expect. And special Thank You to the beach bar team: Richa [... read more]rd (Ricardo), Marlon, and Mandiya. Knowledgeable staff, speaks your language (literally), and always with the smile.

Melia Cayo Santa Maria: A great resort

A smaller resort compared to others on this ‘key’, Melia Cayo Santa Maria is nevertheless a beautifully restored gem. The foyer is open and airy, and there is nightly entertainment which includes acrobats, guitar and violin music, and of course Cuban music and dance. Besides a dining room offering good food with many choices especially for fish lovers, there is a 24/7 grill bar beside the pool with thin crust pizzas and another near the beach serving fresh fish. Its manicured grounds ho [... read more]ld a few surprises with art displays and sculptures attached to large stones. Exploring the grounds, you will also find a spa, fitness building, tennis court, and market area with a unique ship-shaped bar. One can easily walk into the other Melia (on Dunes) which shares some of the facilities. Of course, the beach is simply beautiful and one can walk for miles. Service is very good and surprisingly prompt. The room was very comfortable, clean and had TV and A/C. I would happily recommend this resort to family and friends.

Sol Rio de Luna y Mares: Good resort, may be better when fully open

Being mid November, not everything was open, so there was a LOT of walking; this resort really sprawls across a large area and everything seemed to feel like it was uphill for some reason. The staff were amazing, as always, and do their best. There were some shortages but we made do. The beach is absolutely beautiful and the food was quite good. I did enjoy my week there, but I can't quite say I'd return; it came across as more of a discount hotel to me, but hopefully it's better when ev [... read more]erything is open.

Melia Las Americas: Not what we were looking for!

We were going on this trip to relax and enjoy the ocean view, which we paid extra for but little did we know that it included booming music every night until at least 12 pm. We like music but would like to be able to choose whether we listen to it or not but in our "oceanview" room we did not have that choice. The hotel was tired and dated but generally clean. New beds would be in order! The staff were pleasant but some did not want to be there. "Betty" in the dining room was a gem. The food was [... read more] better than we had had in Cuba the year before, so that was a nice surprize. Nice beach but short. If you want to walk go to Varadero town.

Melia Las Dunas: Perfect solo vacation

I love coming to this area of Cuba. It bothers me when I hear people complaining about the food. They do their best with the resources they have. Honestly, you will never go hungry! Lots of great variety and the people are incredible.

Melia Marina Varadero: Value for money Resort!

Hotel location and amenities: Very good and new Beach: Average as there was a lot of seaweed and not much of a sandy beach. Sea was not rough Swimming pool: Good with an excellent bar VIP Lounge ( Level Lounge): Fantastic Wifi: Just like any other place, accessible by wifi card, connection was good. Staff: excellent, went out of their way to make it a memorable stay. Resort had a very nice marina that provided very good sea excursions. Food: Just like all resorts in Cuba, it's a challenge [... read more] as resources are limited due to sanctions. But it was manageable. Tip: Bring your own ketchup, sauce, sriracha etc Price: Value for money

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Happy with the resort!!

I had the royal service although I did not have a royal room. The room service was not what it was supposed to be (didn’t have almost anything on the menu and it would sometimes arrive 2 hours later) but overall I was quite happy with the resort all together. The beaches were stunning as well as the water.

Tryp Cayo Coco: Fabulous Beach

We enjoyed our time at this resort, the staff was friendly and helpful. Great cappuccinos and mojitos at the lobby bar. Be sure to ask for bitters in your mojito or they will leave it out. Service was very good, bartenders would often bring your coffee/drinks to your table, and they would collect the dirty cups/glasses to keep the tables clean. The room was spacious, nice patio door and balcony so we could look out onto the grounds and the ocean. The front desk offered us an ocean view  [... read more]room at an additional cost of 10cuc per person, per night, which was annoying as members of our party were given ocean view at no additional cost. But the dunes are tall, so your view is still in the distance. We had a view of the ocean from our room, just farther away. Entertainment was great! There was music before dinner outside the lobby, a pianist one evening, a clarinet player, a Cuban band, jazz band, a professional singer. We enjoyed before dinner music every night. The dancing shows were good, lots of energy, the dancers rehearsed every afternoon for the show that night. The food was plentiful, though repetitive. There were long lineups at the grill station at meal time when they prepared omelets for breakfast, and grilled meat and fish for lunch and dinner. Lots of cheeses and desserts, pickles and olives. The hot dishes were mostly the same day to day. A pasta dish, a stewed meat, roast chicken, rice, some kind of calamari or fish. There was a smoothie station at breakfast time, a pasta station for lunch and dinner and one evening, the chef was making sushi to order. Half of the resort is closed due to Hurricane Irma's damage, and the rest of the resort had about 200+ guests. It was not crowded, we were very comfortable, no long lines for drinks etc. At full capacity, I think it would be very crowded. The mosquitos came out in the evening, but with the breeze weren't too bad. Bring bug repellent. One of the drawbacks was the pool and beach bars closed around 4pm, so you had to go to the snack bar or the lobby bar to get drink refills if you stayed on the beach or at the pool until evening. However, the distance to the bars was not too bad, as the resort is spread wide along the beach. There were bathrooms at the lobby and near the snack bar/dining room though the toilets often didn't flush. The pool bathrooms were often closed. The beach is beautiful, nice shallow sandbars, soft sand, you can walk a long way, collect sea shells. There were sun shelters along the dunes where you could stay out of the sun if you wished. The breeze kept us comfortable, kept the mosquitos away. We liked the resort, it was close to the airport, it was comfortable, food was good and service was friendly. We would visit again at the beginning or end of high season.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Awesome Vacation Destination

First timers in Cuba. My wife, my 11 months old and myself. This place is perfect for a family vacation. Food was good. Only downside is the bed. We got King size but mattress was all springy and uncomfortable.
