Hotel Rancho Luna: Great Time! Relaxing! Food! @ Rancho Luna

We had yet again another amazing holiday at Rancho Luna. Food was amazing choice spread out for you to choose. Service as if you were the only one there they tool care of you. Relaxing on the beach, nightly shows were entertaining. Rooms & grounds clean. Can't way to visit again next year marking 30 years going to Rancho Luna.

Hotel Rancho Luna: All good and great time.

The place been fixing up in good or better then before. i would love to go back there again. i don't have any problem with the food, i would love to have few cold beer waiting in the fridge's room every day.

Club Amigo Costa Sur: Friendly relaxing resort!

It is a nice comfortable hotel with a beautiful calm beach for swimming and watching the sun set. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Costa Sur has guests from several different countries and there are many repeat guests. I would go back.

Club Amigo Ancon: Fine for one week!

I recently returned from a one week vacation .I knew in advance that the hotel was the Soviet style architecture I dislike but it still bothered to have to look at it :) especially after touring the Brisas down the beach which was Spanish colonial. Plus,it seemed that it was not only ugly but not particularly functional . Busses pulled up where pedestrians crossed ,lots of area seemed underused and some safety issues The pool had been closed since May. Luckily I was staying in the detached super [... read more]ior ocean view room ( with balcony although no furniture was there) I was shown the regular rooms and they were small with no balcony.I could hear the blaring entertainment both in the late afternoon and evening tho.:( I did not use any of the entertainment services.I would have happily done "stretching class" as I do daily yoga but it was at 10am ..just after eating breakfast :( 8-9 or 11-12 would be better) I would have gone to Spanish classes too but they were not offered. I did not use any excursions or on site marine services. The beach was very nice but loungers got snapped up early .. beachgoers who were not hotel guests were partly to blame. It is a public beach and busloads of tourists come for the day…and leave on the 6pm Transatur bus from the parking lot at the end of the beach.,after,thank goodness, picking up hotel guests We crammed 69 people into a small bus one Monday evening. en route to Trinidad.Accolades to the driver! altho the comfort/safety level was unreal. Cubans are on the beach each early morning persistently begging for your clothes.I did promise one man some stuff on the day I would be leaving (and he kept reminding me daily:)but I still kept getting hounded on my 7am power walk by the same people I constantly said no to ,which annoyed me. Also a group of Cuban women hung out at the parking lot area and I was mercilessly pestered for stuff while awaiting a taxi.Yes ,I understand their situation very well (and yes I may be very well doing the same in their situation) and I am very generous in giving stuff and CUC but I don't like constant bombardment ! I never had this issue in Trinidad I will say . Orientation was well worth attending and "Audi" was helpful ..and much in demand for restaurant vouchers.(read: frequent line ups for this ) Restaurant service was so -so but I never ate lunch and tend to not need a lot of help.I did tip after meals and sometimes sat with a long time regular (23 years ) who was very generous all round. I encountered some frustrations trying to get same day a la carte vouchers. I did enjoy the Pecatore restaurant because it was partially outdoors and the Brisas Cuban buffet Campanosa outdoor palapa style restaurant we could get vouchers for. I found the buffet to have good food but curtains covered the large windows to the outdoors which I always felt like pulling back to let in natural light. Also there were really no outdoor dining tables. Our room was nice ..3rd floor ( I had emailed to request upper level using 4 different emails addresses provided but all emails were undeliverable. Cleaning service wonderful (perhaps because I left daily gifts:) I always had hot water at 5pm ish so I appreciated that.Air worked well too. Bar service in the main building near reception was spotty and the adjoining outdoor patio nice except when it rained.very limited covering. Great Spanish coffee in the evening! Reception service was ok but there were frustrating problems with ambiguous information on changing money on the weekend and a very long line up when we arrived at 10pm to check in. My safe (free I may add) would not open when packing for departure within check out time limits and I had to run to reception ,line up and get my key renewed despite calling them from the room and asking for assistance.(my partner had mobility issues so its not reasonable to expect people to do this) The towel service was frequently out of towels or closed when I tried to use it . The Castillo Bar /Restaurant was great all the time I used it late afternoon except for the day of the wedding where guests were pre and post ceremony celebrating there.Also 2 of the a la carte restaurants were unavailable that evening due to wedding but,for me,in return , it was fun to watch the wedding :) The bus to Trinidad (UNESCO site celebrating 500 plus years)) from the hotel was on time (2CUC each.).I wish there was a later return from the city to coincide with the 6pm departure from the hotel. Also, bus stops at near by La Boca a where there are many casas/hostals to rent and fun to wander or bike around. (rentals at local bar) The bus to and from the airport was timely and the driver loaded our bags for us.

Club Amigo Ancon: you get what you pay for

Let's start by saying that the Cuban people are amazing, hard working, genuine people. This was an affordable hotel for new years for my family, my boys loved the basketball net, brought their own ball then gave it to the locals the night before we left, you should have seen the look on their face, priceless! TRINIDAD city is raw but beautiful, tip the people & bring down lots of stuff to give out.

Playa Giron: Beautiful and relaxing holiday resort

Hotel room was very, very comfortable. I had 2 TV’s one in the room where I was sleeping and the other one in the living room. The air conditioning was new and quite, while the washroom had always hot water to have a shower. I can’t praise enough the chamber maid who did cleaning my room; it was always spotless. Then there is a Tony who is always there when you need him even for the minor things; He is fluent in English, speaks, read and write. I will definitely try to revisit the place agai [... read more]n

Hotel Rancho Luna: love it!

Had a great two weeks met nice people made friends with staff.... not for family's tho. Close to town just a free bus ride away for ten bucks for a taxi going back again for sure . Can't wait to go again had a blast !!!!!!

Hotel Rancho Luna: nice location

Grounds where really well kept. Room was spacious and clean food was not bad at all. Enjoyed rabbit one night. Beer was fresh n cold. Staff really polite. Sweet little private bar near the pool . Overall well worth the money.

Hotel Rancho Luna: went dec/15. good place

this place surpassed my expectations. well kept. clean. but a little dated. breakfast okay. did not check out lunch or dinner. eating at beach bar and pool bar was okay. went off resort for lunch/dinner which was great food!! i would go back again!! luxury it is not, but it is comfortable enough to be enjoyable.

Faro Luna: Beautiful

Not a resort really, but lovely hotel. I enjoyed it. My first time having breakfast only, and I acutally liked it. My time wasn't consumed with food or alcohol. Have to realy on Racho Luno for Hola Sun rep., etc to find out about attractions in the area. Snorkeling in front of Rancho Luna to the right of the rigt post was very good. Walk up the beach to Rancho Luna about 15-20 minutes. I liked the scenery at Faro Luna and would likely go back to Faro Luna it I was going to go back to that area.  [... read more]It is a quiet beautiful hotel with pool. I abooked a standard room opened my room was waterfront, overlooking the sea.

Hotel Rancho Luna: Clean resort

Staff were nice, friendly and accommodating. Food was typical for Cuba but there is always a choice. No need for anyone to go hungry there. Snacks at poolside upon request. Beach bar food was excellent!

Club Amigo Costa Sur: Great resort

People were super nice. Great view on the sea. Best cycling place of the world. Too bad there are no bicycle store in Trinidad. Next time I will get them from Cienfuegos. However, the hotel was nice enough to allow the bikes in the hotel

Club Amigo Costa Sur: very good vacation

We came from this place at Dec.4 2015, everything was very good for 2+star resort! very good sweamin and snorkeling. Personal are very friendly. Room (we had tropical) was very clean, towels exchange every day. Restorane food was good, only I don't like fly around (the have to do about it). I really like this place and like to come back in the future.

Club Amigo Ancon: Standard Cuban resort

This is was my second visit to Hotel Ancon. Things did not change that much in 4 years, the beach is still fine, but more sea weeds are now growing. One day there were jellyfish, but it was rare occurrence. The resort is now about 30 years old and added some more buildings and beach bar at the east end. There is also a new beach bar at the other end (near Brisas), but it is not part of the hotel. Food was fine, so was the house red vine (Spanish). The bank is still only open only few times a wee [... read more]k, better change money in Trinidad. The bus to city (2 CUC/Return) is alway on time. Coffee bar in this all inclusive hotel has several drinks, which are not included. Which part of 'ALL inclusive' means NOT Included? Entertainment is pretty good, except there is no interaction between the entertainment team and the guest. Biggest complain is that there are new groups arriving every evening, spending the night and leaving in the morning. The resort have the feeling of railway station or airport as the suitcases are on the move constantly. Pool was closed for renovation, but I was notified of that. During my 2 week stay, NOBODY worked on the pool. I prefer room with the balcony and asked to switch my room for one. It was done after 3 days without much fuss. The room with balcony (in the main hotel blg) is smaller than a room without balcony.

Hotel Rancho Luna: Greateat value for your money

Great place. Super changes since 5 years ago when we were there for the first time. Food is OK could improve. The entertainment at night was superbe. Wow like a 5 star. ... staff super friendly most. The pool is great. The beach chairs are limited. A grest place to go to on a budget to experience Cuba. My husband and I were there for a Ewell end of November beginning of December 2015

Memories Trinidad Del Mar: Quiet and comfortable.

This hotel is one of three on the Ancon Peninsula. It is a twenty minute bus ride to Trinidad. The hotel is very accommodating in every way. From time time to time there was no hot water pressure but the cold water was fine for showering. Trinidad is a must see for the music at Casa de Musica. If you are a resort whiner, just stay home. I was very happy with this resort. Great for seniors. Make sure to fly into Cenfuegos not Santa Clara which is too far away.

Hotel Rancho Luna: good plce to go for the money

clean,very nice staff who work hard, the price is good for what you get. I would not go if price of vacation at rancho luna got to high. I would say 650$ is a good price for one week including flight.

Club Amigo Ancon: Best beach on the south shore.

Clean, friendly, (but small with balcony) 7th floor room overlooking the beautiful beach. Pool out of service but we were well warned. Useful shuttle bus into Trinidad, but left 5 minutes early on 2 occasions!

Memories Trinidad Del Mar: Had a great time as always

Love Cuba, it's people and the culture. This resort is on my list as a must travel to, the staff are friendly and always willing to help ensure you have a great time. Osmany (PR Manager) is one of the best PRs I've known and ensures you have a vacation to remember.

Club Amigo Ancon: Good resort for the price

My second time at Club Amigo Ancon. If you know what to expect you'll have a fine time. This is a 2 star resort but I loved every minute of it. While the hotel itself is a bit outdated the staff are mostly quite nice, made some good friends with many of them throughout the week there. The resort has 2 sides, the older soviet style block and the newer smaller 3 story building. Well worth the extra few dollars to stay in the newer "Tropical" rooms, more secluded, newer beds and pillows and nice ai [... read more]rconditioning. The food is ok, I'm happy with rice and beans and some meat for every meal, there are also 2 grills serving various meats/fish and a pasta station. Bring some hot sauce or your own favorite spices as Cuban dishes tend to be a bit bland. Try doing dinner one night in the town of Casilda with some locals. There are 3 fancier a-la-carte restaurants at the resort, the Italian is the best, the International is pretty good, the seafood one was a disappointment. The beach is fantastic, some seaweed, but mostly warm and sandy. You can walk a few kilometers down the beach to either side of the hotel, there are some public beaches as well as secluded beach areas to the east. Be careful of sand flies when it gets dark though. Probably the best thing Club Amigo Ancon has going for it is its proximity to the town of Trinidad. 2 cuc shuttle bus or a ~10 cuc taxi ride. Lovely colonial town, cobblestone streets, lots of little bars and restaurants, shop, artisans, and things to see and do. Also a nice national park nearby with good hikes, waterfalls, swimming, cliff jumping, horseback riding...etc.
