Excellent Location

This was my 7th stay at this resort and I will return again and again - it's like coming home! The selection of food was not as good as it used to be but you will not go hungry. The staff is amazing - shout out to Roger at the beach bar! Your the best! The rooms are clean but do need a little TLC, the grounds are spectacular. Best of all the location cannot be beat - beautiful quiet location secluded but close enough for short drive into Havana or Varadero. Hope to see you again next year!

A Great Tranquil Resort

This is no longer a Breezes and is now a Memories Resort. It was ideal and exceeded our expectations. Apparently, after speaking to repeat clients, the food and grounds have been positively updated since Memories took over. We went for the snorkeling and it was fabulous. The beach is nice for walking along but, there is some coral and stones went you first enter the water - a result of an offshore reef close by. Food was great, ocean view room was super and staff was friendly and accommodati [... read more]ng. What more could one ask for? Also, close to Havana for a very worthwhile day trip.

Fabulous resort

Loved the resort! Had ocean view room....room very clean, but needs updating! Really surprised that the food was so good. This is our first visit to Cuba and we were told that the food was awful, so we were pleasantly surprised.......,fresh fish, rice , pasta, excellent omelettes and the most friendly and pleasant staff! Loved it and would definitely return! Only one suggestion... More fruit and vegetables needed!

Memories Jibacoa Resort Review

The resort was clean and the people friendly. The resort is secluded and there is only one other resort nearby. Privacy and seclusion is great. This is an adult only resort so there are no screaming and yelling toddlers. The night time entertainment is great especially the musicians. The food is not exceptional but it is varied and adequate. The best food is for lunch down at the beach cabaña. Everything is fresh and very tasty. The beach is unspoiled and very natural. Makes for great beachcomb [... read more]ing. The resort is nestled at the foot of a forested mountain which provides hiking and very good vistas. I'd go back.

Loved every moment

My 9th trip to Cuba. This time with three women friends. I love the place and keep going back, but this is the first resort I've ever liked enough to return to. Will return with my husband in January for two weeks. Can't decide what I liked best. The food? (Who'd expect to have the best beef tenderloin in Cuba!), the snorkelling right off the beach? the warmth of the staff? The fact I could always find loungers in the shade? The room with the fantastic Oceanview? The piano bar where singing arou [... read more]nd the piano felt like a family reunion? The drinks? Do I need to say more? Absolutely loved it. Thank you Memories Jibacoa!

Quiet and relaxing

Great hotel. Snorkelling is amazing. Diamond club not reall worth it. Didn't receive the extras we where suppose to everyday. Only got them 4 out of the seven days. The staff are all very friendly and will help if they can.

Perfect Holiday!

We fell in love with this resort, the resort I felt was very well kept. The grounds were lovely and well kept with lots of trees and shrubs and very pretty flowers. The rooms were very comfortable a little old but we didn't mind. We found the food to be quite good and the specialty restaurants were amazing! But our favourite place to eat was at the beach restaurant, we loved Rodger. People should know that the drinks are top notch, for me premium drinks and the best was the piano bar. The resort [... read more] is small 250 rooms which for us was part of the draw we like the smaller resorts, no line ups for food or drinks and know young kids which made it quite. The beach was very nice found it to be rocky but it was a coral reef beach so that was expected. We really loved the big trees on the beach provided great shade. The layout of the resort was good you didn't have to walk very far to get to the beach or pool or even the buffet. The lobby and the levels below it were great places to eat or just hang out and have a drink. The lobby also had seating outside the doors with juices and water to consume and every morning I would sit out there with my cappuccino and watch people come and go and also met quite a few people out there. Now the people, I can not say enough about the lovely people who work at this resort. I found everyone to be so friendly and helpful right from the grounds keepers to reception. I really don't know how they do it day after day and with the long hours they work and they still have a smile on their faces. We loved our vacation there and we do plan on returning next year.

Beautiful Resort and Amazing Staff

If you want a nice quiet clean and beautiful resort to head to this is it. If you like diving and snorkeling right off the beach then it doesn't get any better! Rooms are clean, we upgraded to a suite and it didn't disappoint. Staff are amazing, food is good and if you can't find something to eat than you must be a picky eater. : ) I would highly recommend this hotel. If you do have a complaint, if you don't like your room for some reason, if you do happen to get a room that has not be updated o [... read more]r not keen on the location the staff will bend over backwards to help relocate you. The resort is adults only and nice and quiet so if you are looking for party central go somewhere else. Bands are really good at the resort and oh yes, Nelson will make you the best omelette of your life! Go and see for yourself.

It was a good time

It was OK, the stuff was not greeting. Same food every day not to much variety. Every thing was very far from the resort. it had rocky beach if you like to snorkel, lots of older people. Very nice and quiet.

Dianne

I found the resort intimate, well designed, friendly. The food was good, service excellent and lots to do both on the resort and off the resort. We took advantage of the location and went into Havana which was amazing. The Tropicana show was a delight.

MEMORIES JIBACOA

THIS IS MY 2ND VACATION AT THIS RESORT. IT IS PARADISE. l LOVE THE CUBAN PEOPLE AND THEIR HOSPITALITY. THE BEACH IS BEAUTIFUL. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK. LIFE IS SIMPLE: WORK, SAVE, AND GO BACK TO MEMORIES JIBACOA!

Excellent Resort.

This is a picturesque, clean resort with a friendly hard working staff. The grounds are well groomed, the buildings in good repair and our room spotless. The food was good although a little repetitious during lunch time. The pool was a fun area with plenty of space. The beach was good although a little hard for older folks getting in and out of the water due to a drop off. If you like to snorkel this the place for you with close reefs and tropical fish. We have been to many resorts and rate Memo [... read more]ries Jibacoa high in our list .

Beautiful and Peaceful!

A beautiful resort with a mountain in the background and an amazing coral reef in the front. Food was plentiful with lots of choice. Rooms were clean although outdated. Quiet resort and never seemed too busy. Just what was needed for some R&R.

Amazing resort for the most part

loved the location of this resort with the mountains in background ..loved the pool , loved the beach,loved exploring the reef , loved all the entertainment provided especially the nightly shows and wandering musical groups playing their fabulous Cuban music during the day ..resort is well maintained... rooms clean but only adequate and could use a sprucing up ..food was good for Cuba ...staff friendly ..maid surprised us each day with her towel artistry ..would for sure book this resort again . [... read more]....oh...main thing we loved is that it did not seem packed with people even though booked solid ..

I'll be back!

This was my first trip to Cuba, and we chose wisely when we chose Memories Jibacoa. The staff was fantastic, our room was kept spotless, and we had great beds. Food at the a la carte restaurants was amazing. The "Animation" team was outgoing and fun. Everyone was very helpful, even to questions about what plants and animals on the grounds were (I'm a nature nerd). I would definitely go back, and would definitely recommend this resort.

Wonderful Vacation

This was our first visit to Cuba and we had a wonderful vacation. We were with another couple who had been to Cuba on a couple of other occasions and they said that this was the best resort so far. Always something to do (or not if you chose to just relax). We all agreed that we would definitely return to this resort as it was perfect for what we were looking for.

Very Nice and ´cozy' resort

The grounds were very well kept with a lot of matures trees, very nice. The factures that it is a small resort, everything was close by, so you did not have far to go for meals, or the beach, or the lobby, etc...

Very nice scenic resort

This is a small resort in a very scenic setting: small mountain range on one side, ocean on the other. The easy connection from the main building with restaurants and lobby bar is one easy straight path. As the rooms ( on 2 levels ) are on either side of the path ( garden or pool side ) nothing is very far. The grounds are well kept, and we ( 4 persons ) were in large newly decorated rooms which were kept very clean. The dining room and centre and side outdoor terraces are also well kept and enj [... read more]oyable for dining. Our favourite for a fish lunch was the RANCHON beach restaurant . Possible drawback: At the JIBACOA the strong winds can bring up the red flag ( too often ) and the Portuguese Man of War onto the beach from the ocean. This happened and kept us out of the water for too long. A huge plus: For a secluded all inclusive resort it is easy to arrange a private trip by classic car with driver and guide to La Havana - only 1 hour one way. Also enjoyable: the "mountain" climb with resort view and hike led by resort staff.

Very Nice, Quite and secluded resort

This is a very nice resort if all you have in mind is to kick back and relax. Mostly mature people, no "Loud" music or rumpus teens getting drunk and making big scenes. Great swimming/snorkeling and as always - "Great" "Cuban" "Hosts" who seem to always be smiling!

Great resort and great staff

I thought the resort was nice. Its been around for a while but the rooms were nice, clean and bed was comfortable. I liked that it was an adult only resort and it was not huge so there weren't thousands of people. It was my first trip to Cuba and prior to going everyone told me the food in Cuba sucks so I had zero expectations for the food. I found the food was quite good, there was lots of variety including fresh fruit and seafood. The staff were very friendly and since it was a smaller resort  [... read more]it felt like you got to sort of know them, if you wanted that. There was lots of entertainment if you want that. I thought the beach area was nice as well. The only qualm I had was that the water in the pool was cold. Once you got in and moved around it wasn't so bad, but I asked other people that have been to other resorts and they commented that the water cold as well.
