Hotel Caracol: Great resort!! Value for money!!

We weren't expecting much as it was said to be a 3 star, but it was more worth a 4. The food was delicious, the drinks a plenty.. To bad the water bottles was only .50 cuc. Pool was not excellent but better than all the other resorts in the strip, cool and refreshing and clear-ish. Some staff ( bar staff )could be more smiley or appreciative.. Beach clean and large. The resort itself is spacious , room to roam. Wifi available in 3 areas. Make sure to buy enough internet cards when arriving, they [... read more] run out. Bring mosquito repellent on muggy nights. Had a great time will definitely come back when i can.😊

Hotel Caracol: Caracol

As the previous time hotel grounds were nice and clean. More than enough variety of food for not too picky person. Entertainment was better 4 years ago. Beach cleaned every day. Other public beaches in the area very dirty almost dengerous to walk on. Both buses I was traveling in with quite dirty apolstery.

Brisas Santa Lucia: Worst trip everI have

I have been to Brisa Santa Lucia 20 times before and always enjoyed it other than the fact Sunwing usually screws up baggage or extra stops you find out about 2 weeks before you leave, but this time the Russian tourists were there in full force. They are by far the pushiest most ignorant, greediest tourists I have ever come across. They literally push you aside in line , step on your feet, and fill their plates with everything they can get on them, yes them. They usually have 2 or 3 plates per p [... read more]erson and load up bags and tupperware containers before they leave the dining rooms. Fist fights were not uncommon between them selves and wife bashing occurred twice that I saw. I will not return here until I know they are not coming back. I feel so sorry for the very nice staff who rely on tips and gifts to survive. Elite Plus was a lousy option other than having a larger seat. I waited 45 minutes for my bag when an employee asked if this was my bag . It was and had been mistakenly put in oversized luggage even though it was a very small suitcase. The area was empty when I left and I almost missed my Shuttle.

Hotel Caracol: beautiful resort

This is my fourth time after a long time. Everything is good with exception of few things. Too much flies in the dinning room. They need to label all the food. They tend to put pork in everything. (eg. Yuca with a little bit of pork) I am not eating pork, so I cannot eat the Yuca. Not everybody eat pork or beef.

Hotel Caracol: Best Resort in Camaguey

Hotel Caracol has the best and cleanest beach. It has the best frontage and the beach staff work very hard to maintain it. other beaches have no frontage and are not tidy, The hotel is very, very clean, the staff all around are most pleasant and helpful. The front reception are most helpful and very informative.. thank you to Naomi and Alena for taking care of me. Rooms - oceanview, are perfect , the bed was very comfortable. The food was fresh and well presented. I was vacationing for  [... read more]1 week and have already booked a second vacation for January 15 for another week. I recommend only this resort in Camaguey

Hotel Caracol: Awesome Vacation

We have been to this resort several times and as always the trip was fantastic. Looking forward to going back in the future. The staff is very friendly. The animation team are always fun to be around and the overall vibe of the resort is like family. A small resort where you can kick back and relax.

Gran Club Santa Lucia: Amazing Staff!!

This was my second time vacationing at Gran Club Santa Lucia. The staff is amazing, they all treat you like family!! The food is great, the rooms and resort are kept clean, and if there is any issues the staff would action right away. I will be returning in November.

Gran Club Santa Lucia: Must go spot!

I went for 10 days to attend my brother's wedding. It was lovely. The staff did a wonderful job with the ceremony, decorations, and meal. It is a cozy resort with friendly staff. The daytime entertainment was fun, engaging and inclusive. The night entertainment was wonderful including a great kids show. Definitely would recommend.

Brisas Santa Lucia: Amazing food

I recently stayed at this resort and I was pleasantly surprised that the food was excellent. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean. I only had to ask for an extra pillow and it was provided at no extra cost. I would definitely go to this resort again.

Club Amigo Mayanabo: Amazing resort!

This is my second time around here Excellent service , love the garden and the beach, food is excellent, animacion , snack bar service is awesome , lastly the lady name Daily Molina is amazing! Would come back again for sure!

Hotel Caracol: Excellent week - April 17 - 24

I have stayed at this hotel 4 years ago. About 1 hour 40 min from the airport. It has since been renovated very nicely..Rooms have been painted, new floors, new washroom, nice modern tiled showers with rain head and hand held shower option, no bugs, I had ocean view room, right on the beach. Buffet nicely renovated, food is o.k. , good breakfasts, good pasta section with pizza. The Buffet also has had major renovations. Looks very nice and modern and clean. The snack bar has good burgers, ask fo [... read more]r well done, good hot dogs.. clean new washroom at snack bar area. This hotel has the best beach of all, wide and workers on the beach try hard to keep it raked and clean. good lounge chairs.... I will certainly return before the price goes up later this year. Relaxing resort, well kept attractive grounds, nice staff. For TV programs, no Canadian news or English movies if you plan to watch before bed. 95% Spanish TV. I needed to have repair done as the shower needed a seal near the shower door, it was done same day I requested. There is a small commercial center next door, with restaurant, snack bar, convenience store where you can buy bottled water, etc. less expensive than at the resort. There is also a Bank to change your currency to Convertible Pesos.. better rate than the hotel. You need to bring your passport for the bank. Very safe. There is security on the beach at night.

Brisas Santa Lucia: Local tourist destination

I guess it was a bad time of year for flys breeding. First day was intolerable had to stay indoors not before 25 bites. Following that every morning and evening there were tiny mats or mosquitoes. You had to stay covered in bug repellent. The sun was wonderful every day hot and intense. However only one day out of the week they cleaned the seaweed witch was 1 foot deep and 5 feet wide. The restaurant should learn to change the tablecloth after each meal. Often they were dirty. The buffet was me [... read more]diocre at best. Usually you could find something to satisfy your appetite. My sliding doors in my room to the balcony were jammed. Not functional. They also had a a 2 inch gap at the top witch allowed mosquitoes in my room also my phone didn’t work all week. I was there mainly for the sun and ocean and they were both wonderful.

Gran Club Santa Lucia: A Value Resort gives you a big bang for so little money

Club Amigo Mayanabo: Eleventh time and more to come!

This is the perfect place for those who prize seclusion, yet there are all types of organized activities for those who seek these. The staff is very helpful and make you feel as family. Truly a great place to get back to.

Brisas Santa Lucia: Brisas Santa Lucia

I don't want to be negative about a place that relies on tourism for sustainability but our trip here left us with a very negative feeling. It started with no water in our rooms and a definite disinterest in helping us. The fact that our rooms would not have one single bottle of water was never mentioned in any communications. This has not happened to us in other trips to Cuba but regardless, the hotel staff might have been more helpful but were not interested in helping. the man at the fron [... read more]t desk pointed to the store and said go buy some. The Public Relations lady did help us once I was able to locate her and was, in my opinion, their greatest ambassador, otherwise I had no sense of interest in helping or waiting on us throughout the week either at the bars or in the restaurants. We realized (our own fault) we were there during Carnival. (February 11-18) The individuals that swarmed the resort that week were entitled, rude and inconsiderate. That behaviour seemed to be reflected in the staff, perhaps a ripple effect of the garbage they had to put up with. Locals literally threw garbage around the pool and I watched as lifeguards scrambled to clean the messes up. They were loud, brought their own boom boxes and tried to outplay the pool bar music. Endless hours of selfies, chairs up against the pool deck blocking access to the pool and stairs of the pool. There was literal pushing past you and physically pushing you in the buffet to fill their plates past capacity and waste food in what is a country struggling to feed it's own. They were loud until 5 a.m. every day. Having said this, our rooms were clean (our maid did a wonderful job) and other than the typical problems of repairs etc., to be expected at any Cuban resort, the facilities and beach were what I expected. When we had some and our hotel room leaked and soaked one of the beds and bedding I was disappointed in how we were responded to - I had no expectations of someone climbing on a roof to fix it at night but did expect something other than a shrug and angry look and turnabout and have him, what looked like a security guard and the maid leave the room. No promises of new bedding or addressing the issue at a later date. They did run out of things continuously, but again, understood given their situation. and geographical location having to bring supplies in. We were befriended by someone who frequents the resort and loves the people there. If not for her, our week would have been a complete disaster. Overall, I would say I was very very disappointed in the people. After some conversations on line with others who know the resort, it is my understanding there has been a staff turnover. Regardless, if staff appears this disinterested and even angry to deal with resort guests than there is a problem that likely starts at the top and must be dealt with. They obviously feel abused and unappreciated because it was not just one individual, it felt that way from almost everyone encountered. I have always found the people of Cuba to be warm and inviting so this was quite a shock. Perhaps it was Carnival but I would not return.

Brisas Santa Lucia: Average

3 star resort. booked with Air transat and Hola sun, 4 hour bumpy bus ride from Holguin from Toronto which includes a 30 minute stop half way at a local bar where you can buy beer and refreshments. Pros- lovely beach, lots of soft loungers and shade available, rooms are very clean housekeeping does a wonderful job, resort grounds are lush and well maintained, pool was clean and refreshing with lots of loungers and shade, air conditioner amazing! Cons- no beverages including water in fridge [... read more]s in rooms, only one blanket (no bed spread), one pillow and one stuffed with left over junk from something else (bring your own). bars ran out of liquor and mixers. beach restaurant only served hamburger or ham and cheese, buffet repetitive, customer service definitely needs a revamp, service in buffet based on tipping they will reserve a table for you and treat you like a king if you tip big :) Small changes could make this resort better, we will not return as there are so many other places to try. Air Transat Rep was ridiculous not sure if he understands he is representing a huge company....dont bother going to him for anything!

Hotel Caracol: Better than I though

Great hotel ,rooms new clean and lots of hot water. All of the staff went out of there way to make our holiday great most spoke some English. The food most nights was pretty good with a surprise out side barbecue of pork chops and chicken.The grounds were well kept ,with the beach kept well groomed .Jeniffer always informing us all the activities and events going on during the day.The bar drinks were OK ,lots of cold beer ,service was fast and always smiling.The pool clean all the time ,but the  [... read more]liner is in need of replacement as it has a few tears!

Brisas Santa Lucia: Brisas is the best

Very amazing time, beachs were beautiful and sand was very soft, pool was refreshing and clean swim up bar was great. The whole resort was very very clean and staff was extra helpful with anything I needed. Went to coco beach for dinner and dancing was a excellent night lobster was top notch and our tour guide provided us with lots of Cuban history and special landmarks would defiantly love to visit again!

Club Amigo Mayanabo: Very nice resort

Quality of alcohol drinks weren't good , entertainment in the evening was very nice with having guests participating with dancers. Resort was kept clean and food variety and quality and service was very good.

Hotel Caracol: Very good resort

Very nice hotel for the money. Good service. Very good entertainment. Staff was very friendly. The one complaint I had was the room safe did not work and was forced to pay for one ar the desk for duration of stay for the week.
