Playa Costa Verde Not worth the price

The place needs a really good upgrade, starting to show it's age. When we got there complained about the mattress asked them to change it but I think they just flipped it exposing the broken spring. Asked for a king size bed but was told if we wanted that it would have to be on the first floor only, two beds pushed together not very good. Had to wait two days for a bathroom light bulb to get replaced. Booked and paid extra for the grill a la carte restaurant and was very disappointed, they said  [... read more]we were getting fillet mignon but it looked like a very thin steak done on the hot plate, the salad was buffet style had to make our own, only the one choice for appetizer and one choice for dessert even though they had a menu, could have had the same food at the buffet. I wish they could teach people how to cook steak properly, it was overdone and tough. The beach was good with lot's of options for shade. This is a two star hotel anywhere else but in Cuba they rate it a four star.

Love this Resort!!!!!

This was my 10th visit to this resort..... Love this resort & a lot of updates are being done.... Cannot say enough about this resort...The food was great & the staff will do whatever it takes to make your stay enjoyable. This was my second time there this year & cannot wait to return!!!!!!

Our favorate resort in Cuba

We have just returned to Toronto, April 8, after our fourth trip to Playa Costa Verde. We have been to Cuba nine times and like Play Costa Verde best. The resort is under renovations but there was no interruption to the excellent service. All the work is making the resort even better than than before. Rooms are clean, the food is good, kids and adult pools and the beach is beautiful. You can snorkel a few yards off the sand. Take a banana and the fish will be all over you. What makes the tri [... read more]p, the staff are wonderful. This is the first time there were several families at the resort. It appeared to us that the kids program was well run and kept the little ones happy during the day in in the evening early evening on the stage. At about nine PM the stage show started with two acts each evening. Hope you enjoy as much as we do.

Playa costa verde

Just got back from 1 week stay... NUMBER 7....,,,.ANOTHER AMAZING TIME!!!! The hotel has made a lot of upgrading changes, looks great. The staff and service was exceptional, plenty of choices for food and the beach was beautiful. Cant wait till next year and trip number eight.

Friendly, Dependable, Just the right size

Costa Verdi is looking a little tired, but that is why it is a little more affordable and the food is great, nice pool, nice beach....great staff. Public bathrooms need to be redone, but they are clean. We were a group of 5 and we are all returning guests......we will go again next year.

Another great week at Playa Costa Verde!

This was our 6th visit to Playa Costa Verde and it did not disappoint! Staff are very friendly, resort is clean and food is pretty good by Cuban standards. The best part of this location is the snorkeling... you never have to leave the resort, just wade out to about knee deep water and you will start to see beautiful coral and brightly coloured fish!

Always the Best in Cuban Hospitality

Once again returned and was treated like a best friend or family! Awesome treatment as well as top food and truly International selections at the bar. Upgrades are continual here and the new bar is no exception....this resort strives hard to keep you coming back.The place constantly works to achieve your vacation dreams.

Great Visit To The Playa Costa Verde

My Mother and I had a very relaxing time at this lovely resort. The rooms are very spacious and the grounds are always well kept. Probably the most pleasant thing about this resort is the friendliness of the staff. Cuban hospitality at its finest. It looks like they are making an effort in updating the hotel (new patio around the pool, many new furnishings in the hotel lobby as well as our room). Hopefully new mattresses on the beds are in the plans as the ones in our room really need to be rep [... read more]laced. We enjoyed all of the a-la-cartes, especially the Japanese restaurant. All in all, an enjoyable holiday.

Home away from home

This was our 5th visit to this resort, great company, great food great price, Will return again next year for two weeks next time . Keep an open mind and you will have a great time only complaint is our stay was too short

A wonderful experience

My daughter and granddaughter and I just returned from Playa Costa Verde, Holguin, Cuba. The resort is so well laid out and very spacious. When we arrived, our room was not ready, but we went to have lunch in the lovely dining room. Even for the pickest eater, there is always something to eat, and the staff was great. We then got our room, which for three of us was spacious, with lots of storage for our clothes etc. A little outdated, but clean and for the amount of time that we actually sp [... read more]ent there, it worked for us. The pool area is huge, with no shortage of chairs. We also spent a great deal of time at the beach, beautiful soft sand and the water was such a beautiful colour. My daughter and granddaughter went on the catamaran, which they did several times while we were there. They loved it and the staff that took them out, told them about Cuba and their lives as well. We also took the dolphin tour and I was not going to go but I am so glad I did, what an amazing experience. We did two a la carte restaurants, the Cuban and the Japanese. The Japanese was our favourite, our chef and the staff were fantastic. The lobby at this resort is wonderful, very spacious with a bar and a cafe bar - special coffees, cappacino etc. My daughter and I got up early every morning and went for our cappacino, the servers were great. I would highly recommend this resort and I will definitely go back there. That was something as well, that there were so many people that had gone there repeatly - one person I might - 9 times!! Which speaks volumes. Where there somethings that weren't perfect - yes - but they were so outweighed by those that were, it did not matter. It was a wonderful experience that I got to share with my daughter and granddaughter, so many memories!!

Awesome Resort!

While staying at the Playa Costa Verde we enjoyed the well maintained grounds, the beautiful beach & the warm Carribean waters! The staff are so friendly & will do whatever they can to make your stay with them memorable - whether it is bringing you morning coffee or after dinner drinks. The meals were fantastic & the rooms were very comfortable.

Playa Costa Verde

The resort was small so it was easy to get around. I found our room was very accessible to the beach and restaurants. Grounds were lovely. The rooms are a little dated but were very clean. The staff were very friendly. Food was very good. I would highly recommend this resort to others.

Good value for the money

The grounds and hotel are nice. Pool and beach are very nice and ppl were very friendly. Can always find something to eat and was able to eat at the a la carte restaurants often without reservations. The rooms are very basic but clean. No plugs in the rooms work but...it cuba, relax and enjoy it. If you have traveled to Cuba before you will have realistic expectations. It is very inexpensive for a holiday and overall this was very good value for the money.

Great holiday at Playa Costa Verde

We had a wonderful one week holiday at Playa Costa Verde. The resort is beautiful, small enough to walk around easily and find everything. The Japanese ala carte restaurant is not to be missed!! The food, service and our chef were amazing. Our weather for the first week of March was very good, just had one & 1/2 day of cloud and wind. The rooms are normal for Cuba, clean, bigger then we normally have and everything you need. The frig had water and pop every day, no beer. Snorkelling w [... read more]as some of the best we have ever had in Cuba. Reef close to shore and easy to swim out to. We walked past Blau to almost the point, to a ladder. Snorkelled back to our resort. Very good. I would recommend to anyone.

Great time!

Awesome resort. Food was always plentiful, and lots of selection. Beach was great and always chairs available. Entertainment in the day and evening were entertaining most of the time. Rooms were always clean but pretty outdated. Beds needs to be replaced asap.

Enjoyed

Our trip to Playa Costa Verde was our very first all-inclusive.We did enjoy ourselves: the people,the resort,the service,our rooms and the weather were all wonderful. The food however,was not enjoyable for my wife.Whatever the food is cooked in or spiced with was not palatable for her. I was able to find food on the buffet which pleased my tastebuds. We did find a 24 hour snack bar that served fries and hamburgers that my wife enjoyed. The pools and our rooms were pristine.Two out of three excur [... read more]sions went well.Swimming with the dolphins A+,Katamaran ride,Safari and snorkelling C- and the trip into Holguin was an A. We could have done without the Safari,as far as we're concerned was a waste of time and money.Our Air Canada reps were fantastic helping us out. All in all,I would rate this adventure A-B+.

Third time still not disappointed

Quick check in. Clean rooms. Decent food for Cuba. Always friendly staff. A la cartes are always better than the buffet. No overall complaints. Being a returning customer has its perks too. Rum in your room. A la cartes are prebooked and free late check out if available. Nice touch. Your six stay is free how can you beat that? Just book your flight!

Best resort yet!

This is our 2nd time at PCV and it was fantastic the only thing our block of rooms are slightly out dated looks like it's ready for renos soon. Staff very friendly people even the other guests great people only encountered 2 rude people.

Amazing Resort!!!!!!

Just returned from my 9th visit to the Playa Costa Verde in Holguin. This is my home away from home resort.....The weather was amazing and the resort improves evey time....So many upgrades done here every time....The food, service, entertainment is the best. Rooms still need some upgrading however the cleanliness is beyond expectations.....The staff is amazing & will do anything to make your stay wonderful!!!!! Looking forward to returning again very soon :)

Hidden Paradise

This hotel is exactly what I was interested in. The grounds are very well kept by the friendly gardeners. The rooms are always clean and towels are replaced on a regular basis. The beach bar and pool bar are a lot of fun with the friendly bartenders. The buffet was great with a huge variety of different foods. You will never go hungry as there are numerous dishes to select from. The staff from the manager to the housekeepers in this resort are always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you [... read more] are completely satisfied.
