Melia Las Dunas: Amazing as usual!

This was my 4th time coming back to this resort. I must say, this is my first time coming in june though. This time of year is very hot there and at times is muggy. Other than that, the resort as always is kept very clean at all times and everyone is very polite and welcoming. There is a variety of good food available at all times either at the buffet or other bars on the resort. The bartenders are very good at their jobs, so the drinks dont stop flowing! Had an amazing time here and cant wait t [... read more]o come back!!

Paradisus Rio De Oro: True Paradise!

We just returned from our 10+ visit and will go back again. Stunning grounds, comfortable rooms, excellent food, attentive staff, beautiful combination of sandy beach and excellent snorkeling, a true paradise in Cuba.

Melia Las Americas: Beautiful resort

The resort is beautiful. The view when you leave the lobby area to go to the beach is incredible. The main areas of the hotel are well maintained. The room we were in did need to be updated, especially the bathtub. However the rooms were clean and that is what is most important to us. The food was good. There is a grill area where you can get omelettes in the morning and at lunch and dinner you can pick fish, chicken, pork or whatever you want and it will be grilled right in front of you. Ther [... read more]e is a lack of variety in that they basically had the same food day after day but it was good and I really can’t complain. Best mango I have ever had. We tried the specialty restaurants. They were fine although portions are small and we ended up going to the buffet after! I find also that the English descriptions on the menu don’t match with what you get a lot of the time. I would go back to the Japanese restaurant which was probably my favourite. We had no trouble finding loungers in the shade although there were the usual chair hogs who would place a towel on the chair and then not show up till afternoon. We went in May and I don’t think the hotel was full when we were there so that could make a difference to your experience. The people are very friendly and the service was great. There is a plaza nearby which is within walking distance. I would definitely go back here. It is one of the best places I have been in Cuba.

Melia Cayo Coco: Good for cuba!

Service, staff attitude, food, and cleanliness of the rooms and facilities are excellent. Would go again. And here is the rest of my required 200 characters....why does this review forum make me do this? Shame on tripbcentral.

Sol Cayo Coco: Great value for your buck$

Clean and well maintained resort with friendly staffs. Had a great time staying at Sol Cayo Coco. Foods and drinks are above average, no complaints at all. Entertainments are enough to keep you occupied. I would recommend this resort to all my friends.

Sol Palmeras: Amazing place!

We just loved the beach Rooms were nice and clean! Service was good! Food was also good Our favorite was the beach and the ocean Overall we had an amazing time and we will definitely go back and recommend this place to our friends and family!

Sol Palmeras: Definitely be back!@

Great resort, amazing people breathtaking beach. Close to Varadero, lots to see and do!! Food was a pleasant surprise. Clean rooms and towels daily. Treat the hard workers well and they will treat you well. Cant wait until I can return.

Melia Marina Varadero: Beautiful resort

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Melia Marina Varadero. The staff were friendly, courteous, and professional. The hotel's location is great and a 4 minute walk to some of the most beautiful beaches you will ever see. The grounds were well maintained. The room spacious and clean. The food and beverages were pleasantly delicious with lots of variety. A day trip to Havana is a must and only a 2 hour ride away. Highly recommend the Melia Marina Varadero if you ever plan to vacatio [... read more]n in Cuba.

Hotel Camino del Mar: Melia Cayo Guillermo

We enjoyed a 7 day vacation here in March 2019 and had a great time. Our room was clean and had a great view of the ocean and we only experienced some minor issues with the toilet. The a la carte meals were excellent however there could have been improvements with the atmosphere for these. The main buffet had a great selection of fresh food with many cooks at stations ready to prepare the dish to your liking. The main buffet was very warm however the manager of the hotel who was highly visib [... read more]le and very friendly assured us they were aware and working on fixing the A/C. We didn't have any issue finding chairs on the beach and the beach entertainment was great and they had their volume (for music) at a respectable level. The resort entertainment was excellent, especially in the lobby. The theatre shows were a bit repetitive and they need to encourage more engagement from the crowd (more interactive shows). The pool bar was very disappointing as there wasn't a bartender dedicated to it and the amount of noise and water from the overhead waterfall was annoying. The pool liner was ripped however they have plans to replace it. There is a ton of maintenance taking place at the resort and they have made excellent improvements since the hurricane. The health bar with fresh smoothies was awesome and Alejandro was so personable.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: A wonderful vacation!

The property is beautiful and a pleasure to walk through. The food, while somewhat repetitious, is quite good. The beach is one of the best we’ve been to. Every night there is some form of entertainment and it caps the day off nicely.

Melia Las Americas: An OK resort.

The hotel was beautiful, laid out really well. Food was pretty good, perhaps a bit salty. Beach was clean and close. Staff were RUDE and ignored you, took 1hr+ for a coffee if you got service at all. Some spots were better than others for service, but that’s because they couldn’t ignore you as easily (ex: sitting directly at a bar).

Melia Varadero: Very Nice Resort

This resort was kind of dated inside the hotel itself. Although it is very grand on the outside and pool area. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. If they for some reason couldn't understand what you were asking, they would get someone to help you. I travelled by myself, and at no point did I feel unsafe or limited with where I could go or see on my own. The staff made sure you were well kept n safe at all times. The entertainment staff was so welcoming and specifically asked if I wante [... read more]d to play basketball. After we played for a while a couple kids and there father joined in. The nightly entertainment/ disco wasn't good. As for food I thought it was fantastic. I didn't enjoy much of the breakfast options but as for anything else it was great and tasty.

Paradisus Varadero: Great Staff

The hotel is so clean, the ladies are working all day cleaning and also the gardeners keep grounds wonderful Check in was a breeze, no problems and taken directly to our room, which was also so clean, and a very good size, fresh towels everyday, bed changed often. I must say a shout out to the entertainment committee Ernesto, who kept us busy,all day. If you are travelling to Cuba, you need to understand there are food items not available, we had no bacon or sausage all week, but plenty of ot [... read more]her items, did not go hungry. The Alacarte restaurants are good on the whole, but as it is Off season, the Buffett restaurant is not open on days when alacarte restarants are. Also the main pool is under construction so had use of one pool, Evening entertainment is just ok, nothing special, I did enjoy the show in the pool, on our last night. On the whole, we had a good time, this resort is not for party people, but for a nice quiet holiday of pool and beach. Do not miss the double decker bus that goes from end of drive way, for 5 cuc, which you can hop on and off all day for same price.

Melia Las Dunas: 3 rd time and still amazing

grounds were beautifully kept. quiet pool and family pool very good. Beach is breathtaking. room was allways made very well. food good..lots of choices. wonderful place and the staff is really what makes it special

Melia Marina Varadero: OK Resort - wouldn't go back

I had a great time in Cuba! The sunwing staff were amazing and the flights were on time and the weather was perfect (travelled end of May). I wasn't overly happy with the hotel. Housekeeping came in everyday but didn't sweep, clean the washroom or, clear away drink glasses. They made the beds and left new towels that was it. Our room was tidy but dirty (bed skirt/ lamp shades/ crumbs on chairs that weren't mine). I am glad we were able to eat at the a la carts for dinner. The meals were  [... read more]nicely prepared and presented well. The buffet was disappointing even for cuba standards. Shout out to Dunia at the pool bar. She is an excellent bar tender and kept everyone happy and refreshed.

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Very nice resort

The grounds were very well maintain. Staff very friendly. The food was not what was expected for a 4.5 stars by very far more like a 3 stars. The chairs on the beach needed serious repair. But the Resort was fine

Paradisus Los Cayos: Paradisus Los Cayos, Santa Clara

OUR TRAVELS We travelled to Paradisus Los Cayos with Air Transat Holidays and our tour operator was Hola Sun. From the beginning our flight was delayed around 7 hours and then we lost another 2 hours on the Tarmac due to operational issue. Upon arrival to Santa Clara airport we technically lost a day of our holidays because of the inconvenience of the plane issues. I feel that the tour operators could be more organized. We where directed to the wrong coach bus with our two small children and  [... read more]had to run around in the rain to try to find out where is the correct coach bus travelling to our location. Initially the driver of the initial bus we were on was not caring to assist us, however he ended up helping after. THE HOTEL The hotel is stunning, it's a beautiful property located on a gorgeous turquoise beach. We really enjoyed our family concierge room it was a apartment style living area it had a queen roll out and a king bed in the other room. There was a dining area along with two washrooms and a jet tub, the special touches with the décor are on point throughout. The only issue I would like to mention is the chambermaid service. Our bed was turned down every day and the sheets where sometimes changed. However the place wasn't ever really cleaned. The floors weren't swept, nor washed and the towels where dirty. We even tipped with hope that they would, but unfortunately nothing happened. Later on I came back to my room and she just finished "cleaning it", and lifted her shirt to show me that she was pregnant and that she had a child at home. I kind of figured she wanted me to give her some money or gifts but didn't act on it. We had mentioned to the front reception that the room wasn't being cleaned, but nothing was ever changed. We had a Oceanview room and it was super close to they're 24 hour snack bar which was super convenient. The hotel grounds are immaculate always maintained and the foliage is mature in a sense, so you get a lot of nice flowers and palms as well as banana trees. The concierge check in lounge is very modern and light you can really tell they put a little extra oomph into this resort. There is a kids zone with a pirate ship slide as well as a area for the children where they keep them busy all day long every day its amazing! There is a good amount of a la carte restaurants as well as a smoothie bar with the best coconut ice cream. DINING AND FOOD There is a kids side buffet and an adults side buffet I have been to many hotels in Cuba being a consistent traveller and I personally think this hotel is however one step ahead from any in Cuba in the sense that they have more variety and the food is very well kept. The sanitization standards are high and the waiters and chefs are constantly bringing in new fresh cold food from the back so it's consistent. The expectations of the GM Moad, are very high, the result shows because the food is in tip-top condition and you will always find something yummy for everyone in the family. I would suggest maybe possibly doing a kids menu, although there was plenty to choose from, a lot of kids that are picky eaters so it would help if there was a few more things that were more versatile to those who are. 24 HOUR SNACK BAR We really enjoyed lunch and even dinnertime here, the Supervisor Mercedes along with a few of other hard workers here are amazing, always serve with a smile. The food is delicious and the service here is top notch. They have delicious pizzas here as well as burgers. Our favorites where blue cheese pizza (Quattro Queso) and Paradisus burgers. They also serve really yummy drinks just ask for a Miami Vice :) ENTERTAINMENT For the kids- there is a kids zone, with a pirate ship and slides into the water, lots of playgrounds for the children. They have a kids club that I may say is so amazingly organized. The ladies there are so loving and the kids never want to leave. They have a full day schedule going for the full duration of your trip. The organizers of this hotel really put a lot of love into this section of the hotel and it's evident. For anyone travelling with children, go and experience what the kids zone has to offer because you will not be disappointed. One thing to make note of is that if they don't have anyone to babysit some of them proactively go on the beach and entertain the kids so the adults can enjoy their time more. LATE NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT- In the buffet there are singers and people that play instrumentals to all your latest top 40 music. These people are so talented! Every time we passed by I got goosebumps they have such beautiful voices and are ultra talented with they're instruments! kudos! The central entertainment was super fun as well, they put a lot of effort into the choreography of the night entertainments and the performers always did an amazing job. The bar upstairs (Sky Bar) is super nice as well playing new age music you can kick your feet up in a palapa and enjoy the nights breeze, with company BEACH The beach is gorgeous, It has an ample amount of umbrellas that are placed in your desired location, wherever you want to sit, the gentlemen which work there will personally install the umbrella beside your sun chairs. There is amazing service on the beach whatever you want to drink or eat they will bring for you, and they always do circles just to check if you need anything else. The last two days the water was a little choppy but there was a storm coming. Nevertheless people where still jumping around in the waves. On all other days the water was still and tranquil you could even see the little fishies swimming around. Absolutely beautiful! Never an issue with finding sun chairs always lots of shelters. Special Thanks to Moad, Mercedes and Oswaldo amongst others Moad GM- Thank you for organizing the amazing langouste dinner in the comfort of our room along with the birthday cake for our little one, it was a beautiful touch and we really enjoyed our private dinner. You have made this trip very personal and enjoyable and for that we thank you! You are very needed in this resort keep up the great work! Mercedes- I can't thank you enough for looking after us throughout our trip, you are fantastic! Oswaldo- Super hard working and the kids always enjoyed your Donald Duck voice and your drinks are always top notch quality!

Melia Buenavista: Just what the doctor ordered

Very well groomed property and clean facilities. Staff are friendly and attentive, especially the butler. Very quiet and low key, not a party place. Ala carte every night, 2 sister resorts to visit and book meals at (your butler will arrange it). Pool bar and pizza hut were the highlight of the resort!

Melia Jardines del Rey: Quality going down!

Second time at this resort, and I must say a lot has changed since last year. There were a lot of food shortages this year. Staff overall seemed unhappy therefore made me wonder if management had something to do with that. Entertainment still 10/10, the animation crew at both the beach/pool/night time events were always enthusiastic and ensured we all had a good time.

Melia Cayo Coco: Best resort in Cayo Coco

Very close to the airport, food is great, lots of variety. Beautiful beach, good service . Rooms are clean, little older but well maintained. Night activities are great and the pool is well maintained also.The staffs were all accommodating and and most of them speak English very well so communication is not a problem.
