Playa Pesquero: Happy Place

Enjoyed our vacation at Playa Pesquero very much.Picturesque entrance and reception area. Everywhere you looked people were happy and smiling. Every employee from the front desk to the maid to the gardner were quick to offer a friendly gesture and make you feel welcome. Beach is beautiful and great place to enjoy a walk. Pool area allowed for fun times and socialising with people from various parts of the world. Pool staff, bartenders, animation team always working hard to please.

Playa Pesquero: Fabulous Resort

Playa Pesquero: Large resort

Nice resort if you like a lot of walking, not great if you have health issues with walking far. Food is okay, canned vegetables and fruit. Not great for a vegan or vegetarian but great for a huge variety of meats and cheeses. Fresh donuts and churros made everyday. Room was clean but we had a bout of bed bugs. So bring your spray. Only one brand of beer is served.

Playa Pesquero: Good value for the money

It took awhile to get oriented as to where everything was located on such a large complex. Not all A la Cartes and restaurants were open in early November as it was just the beginning of high season. Staff were very friendly and accommodating but do expect tips. Beach was beautiful and the pools very large. Pools are very kid friendly. No complaints on the meals - you could always find something good to eat and had lobster at the A la Carte every evening. Despite what I had read on the int [... read more]ernet about water in Cuba, bottled water was always available to guests. Rooms are dated but to be expected for Cuba but kept very clean (this didn't matter to us as we were basically only in the room to sleep, shower and change)

Playa Pesquero: Pleasant resort

The hotel, dinning rooms, guestrooms were extremely clean. The bathroom could use a little updating. The staff were very professional, considerate and pleasant. The grounds including the pool were very lovely and well maintained.

Playa Pesquero: Exceptional Vacation - Here

Food quality was excellent and the hot items were almost always hot and the cold items were not warm, but cool. Their service,hospitality and grounds cleanliness were 2nd to none. It is a resort that is quite isolated from shopping, but they do have trinket shops and vendors on the resort, for gift items. Our room did have a major water leak from the ceiling on the 2nd last day of our holiday. It was promptly addressed and cleaned up. This particular room had been experiencing this same water pr [... read more]oblem in the past, as there was evidence of swelling wood in the closet of the room entrance. FYI- Food to the beach is a bad idea, as it will attract ants that bite. Example. Bread to feed the fish. Snorkeling off the beach is worth doing, for the vibrant colors of the fish! Also lots of activities, organized by the hotel that you may choose to participate in. All in all- a fantastic holiday here !!! The catamaran excursion to snorkel and then swim with the dolphins is also a very enjoyable day. P.S. Don't forget to bring your BUBBA MUG !!!

Playa Pesquero: very bad resort,don't recomend

Very bad service almost everywhere,tips don't really make a lot of difference. You can stay in lane in bar,waiter can be rude,beach guys behave like mafia, openly asking for money or refuse service altogether.

Playa Pesquero: Cubas diamond in the ruff

Our vacation was from Oct 12-19/2018. We were here to celebrate our birthdays together. The resort went out of their way to wish us a happy birthday at the ala carte Restaurant we booked. The resort was very large and inviting as well as a beautiful pool with swim up bar and amazing white sand beach. Most workers were welcoming and had no trouble communicating with the language barrier. I will admit the resort could use some updating but a side from that I would return to this resort and recomme [... read more]nd it to friends and family.

Playa Pesquero: Wonderful Trip

Very relaxing and soothing. The people are all very welcoming and respectful. Great weather, open water, and the hotel room was clean and tidy. Also the receptionists are very friendly and efficient. Will definitely be going back soon.

Playa Pesquero: Outstanding!

My wife and I just got back from a week at the Playa Pesquero and have nothing but positive feedback to offer. The resort was clean and attractive, the staff was friendly and helpful, the food was thoroughly enjoyable and the extracurricular activities were many and varied. We are already planning our next visit - and have invited friends to join us!i

Playa Pesquero: Nice resort

We have stayed there in August for 1 week. We liked hotel. Nicely decorated and clean rooms; nice beaches; friendly staff; food is ok, not to many choices. Lots of local Cuban people on the beach using hotel chairs. Be aware beach towels are often "lost".

Playa Pesquero: Fantastic trip

Our trip to Playa Pesquero was excellent. We stayed from Aug 14- 21 2018. The beach was fabulous. You can’t get any nicer than this. The water was a lovely turquoise blue, so enjoyable to swim in and lots of sun beds to lie on the beach. The food was great for cuban standards. My family and I love seafood so there was plenty of that and we ate that pretty much lunch and dinner. If someone was vegetarian, they might find it a bit of a struggle to eat here but i would say that’s the c [... read more]ase for most all inclusive resorts. Our rooms where comfortable and clean as is the rest of the resort. To get wifi you have to purchase a card. 1 CUC gives you 1hr of internet. I thought this was very reasonable Some of the negatives or areas to improve. Some more garbage bins on the beach. At the end of the day we found lots of cigarette butts, plastic straws and cups lying around. This was disappointing to see as some of that garbage ends up in the beautiful water. One day my sister and I went around picking up some of this trash because it broke our hearts that this will end up in our oceans. This is not the resort’s fault as people should have the courtesy to clean up after themselves but maybe they can reconsider straws for instance, more bins on beach and signs saying don’t litter. My other suggestion is with the cooking practices. None of us got sick but my sister went one night to order a shrimp stir fry and another guest ordered a chicken stir fry and the cook used the same utensil to cook the chicken and the shrimp. She didn’t end up eating it because she was afraid of cross contamination and getting sick. We had spoken to some guests and heard that some people had to go to the emergency with food poisoning. This is the easiest way to avoid your guests don’t get sick. Also, it would be nice if some of the cooks could get started at the grilling stations before people arrive. The line up can be really long and I think this would not only get your guests served quicker but your cooks would be under a lot less stress. We were also very surprised that all week they didn’t have french fries anywhere in the resort. This wasn’t such a big deal for me but my dad really enjoys some fries on vacation. My last suggestion is for guests. I would suggest exchanging a few dollars at the airport if possible. The first few days it can take over 1hr at the resort to exchange money. I didn’t check the rate at the airport. The resort gives for 14.30 CUC for $20CAD. The staff for the most part were very nice and friendly. They work extremely hard to keep the resort clean and meet their guests needs. We would definitely come back.

Playa Pesquero: Horrified

We are still in shock over what we went through on our “vacation” at Playa Pesquero. We were a group of 2 families. Five of us were very sick and in and out of the doctor on site. 2 children had to be put on IV for 7 hours. I was the only one that was sick in our family and was able to leave our room most days by not eatting anything but bread and still having to constantly run to the bathroom. Our other family had to stay in their room for almost the whole trip. It was very difficult for th [... read more]em to get water, towels and food to their room. The resort is so run down and has mold and algae growing everywhere. The food selection is limited and horrible and is in our opinion the cause for our illness. We were terrified to eat anything and to let our children eat anything because of what our families children went through. Our Air Canada rep did everything he could for us. Air Canada should not be letting anyone travel to this resort, we were mislead into thinking this was a high class Cuba resort. We have all been to Cuba multiple times, traveled around the Carribean and I have travelled to many countries around the world. I have never experience conditions like this. A lot of people were this sick and more sick than us. When we travel we try to look at positive reviews, as many times the negative reviews are often small complaints but please read only the bad reviews for this resort as they are true and valid. Do not risk your children’s health by going here, my husband spent the week taking care of me while being scared that our toddler and 6 year old would be too sick to travel home.

Playa Pesquero: Amazing experience

This was our first time in Cuba and we will highly recommend the Playa Pesquero. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The entire experience was very positive. We truly felt that we got value for our money. There is a lot to do and enjoy at the resort.the food was good

Playa Pesquero: Very nice resort .

I was realy very surprised, but I also asked a friend of mine about this hotel and got good review.restaurants are very nice and definitely everyone should go and make the alakart restaurant reservation on the first day because its realy nice I like the seafood restaurant I had a excellent lobster for dinner aswell the shrimps.

Playa Pesquero: always a good time at playa pesquero

Once again Playa Pesquero proved to be a good choice for a much needed reprieve from the CDN winter blues. Great food selection, friendly and helpful staff, awesome beaches, clean and spacious rooms. We look forward to another visit down the road...

Playa Pesquero: Beautiful Beach and pool

The hotel is approx an hour’s drive from the airport. On arrival at hotel, greeted well at reception. One can get lost in this hotel. It is quite a large complex. The rooms are very big; the bathroom has a jacuzzi tub.The pool and beach are beautiful. Lots of chairs...no need to reserve your chair. Lots of activities. The food is average Cuban resort fare. Lots of restaurants and bars to choose from. The nightly entertainment is mediocre.

Playa Pesquero: Good vacation, huge resort

Very large resort so be prepared to walk ...... a lot. Average food, great beach, nice large pool. We went in down-season (June) so resort was at about half capacity with several restaurants closed and lower staff levels. Be cautious of fresh meats at cooking stations - we saw several guests come down with e-coli food poisoning while we were there.

Playa Pesquero: Super Hotel

The grounds of this hotel are well maintained, clean and the pool is cleaned every day. The rooms are a good size, cleaned each day and fridge stocked. If you need anything the maids are always around to help. They also do great designs with the towels and leave on the bed each day. Cannot say enough about the waiters & waitresses, they go out of their way to make sure you have a drink in your hands at all times. Also the buffet restaurant the food is always made fresh & hot, if you cannot  [... read more]find something all you have to do is ask & someone will make sure you get it.
