Playa Pesquero: Cuba at its best

When going to Cuba, you go to enjoy the ocean, snorkeling, weather and hospitality of Cuban people. I must say we got it all with this resort. The resort is safe for kids to run around, to get ice cream and snacks. Entertainment team is amazing at creating a holiday like atmosphere. They are great with kids of all ages, and it allows parents to relax as well. Rooms are clean, AC works well, no issues with water or electricity. Food is minimal at this time, however we were not hungr [... read more]y. It is our third time at the resort and we are planning to go back. It is just an hour away from the airport. Wi-fi works great, even at the beach.

Royalton Cayo Santa Maria: Very Nice hotel and staff

It was a last-minute family trip, that we did enjoy, the facility was very clean. The food was good entertainment was much better than Mexico ones. Transport was punctual comfortable a little bit long from Royalton hotel to airport.

Valentin Perla Blanca: Second time at this resort and won’t be returning

Our first visit was in February, despite the limited food, we enjoyed our stay there. Enough to go back this December. We entered our room, there were stains on the couch, the balcony door wasn’t locking, the fridge was broken, shower head wasn’t working properly. Stains on the toilet seat and in the toilet (looked like it wasn’t flushed). We requested another room, even with the low occupancy the hotel sent a technician to fix the balcony door, they added another lock, and the technician wasn’t [... read more] happy, he showed us how to open and close the door. Another day they came and changed the fridge. It took two days to “fix” the shower head, halfway into our vacation, these things were being repaired, we felt it necessary to stay in the room during repairs. The room will be in working condition for the next guest, but at our expense. These repairs should have been done before we arrived or another room should have been provided to us. Food: there was half of what we were offered in February, I found myself stuffing my mouth with chips in the room and leaving the buffet hungry. Too much carbs, the best meal was only on December 24th. I got eaten alive by black flies the first evening. Had no idea what black flies even were prior to this. A very kind guest (also from Canada) gave me her bug spray, I cried from her generosity and my helplessness. There were 3 employees that were exceptionally kind: Addy, Ronald and Ronnie. We will miss you all. We will not be returning to this resort. This hotel left much to be desired.

Valentin Perla Blanca: Beautiful beach, but a well maintained resort

Friendly staff, beautiful beach, & low prices, but they place is not well maintained or supplied. It was very early in the travel season, but I would try somewhere else. If they fix it up, it's a lovely location.

Playa Costa Verde: Playa Costa Verde

We have just spent a week at this beloved resort, but regretfully will not be going back. We fully understand Cuba’s difficulties, but the resort is becoming run down/tired. The younger staff have mostly left, very little animation team. The buffet, (understanding the difficulties) never changes. I agree with have a Cuban feel for the food is important, it is very difficult to eat the same offerings day in and day out. Only at breakfast we saw boiled eggs. That was the only change from the steam [... read more] line in all three meals. It is not difficult to become creative with leftovers and introduce change on the steam line. The beds are exhausted and the pillows are completely done. There is problems with water and hot water, which we feel the resort should consider a top priority. Unable to switch towels, because of this. (We also bring our own towels) thank goodness! The staff that are there are always amazing, we feel they try their best to give great service with the lack of resources. I feel that we can get better bang for our buck elsewhere.

Occidental Arenas Blancas: Awesome vacation

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Beautiful Resort!

Positives: Resort layout - not too big; lobby, beach, restaurants, rooms are easily accessible. Grounds - well-kept, paved, wide and well-lighted. Rooms - spacious, modern and clean. Negatives: Location - too far from airport remote) Entertainment - no beach volleyball; Daily Activities schedule not followed. Services - at the restaurants are slow.

Melia Internacional: Stay At Melia

The hotel is equipped with all the facilities. View is pretty clean. Service is not very something someone would appreciate after paying high dollars. Some of the staff is unresponsive to your needs. Furthermore the food actually is super bad even though they had prime dining restaurants its actually super bad. Rooms are not the greatest for the amount you pay

Gran Muthu Almirante Beach Resort: Amazing

We did the vip section was amazing great service and food was great no complaints at all also the concierge service was over and above when you needed anything at all very relaxing in areas and if you need a little more energy there was areas for that as well

Sanctuary at Grand Memories Santa Maria: Sanctuary at Grand Memories Santa Maria is a wonderful resort

The gardens around Sanctuary at Grand Memories Santa Maria are extensive and meticulously maintained. Our room was spacious and very-well appointed. The maid service was excellent. The butler service was attentive and very professional. The food and beverages were abundant.

Melia Cayo Coco: no better resort out there.

Staff are all amazing people, very friendly and kind, well organized, they make your stay comfortable and safe. We have been to this resort 13 times now, and plan to go back again this March. Food is good, large selection of food every day. Gardeners do an amazing job throughout the resort. Activities on the beach good. Bathrooms are kept clean at all times. My score is a 10 out of 10 for this resort.

Resonance Blu Varadero: Week stay

Just returned yesterday after a week vacation at this resort We stayed in the Blu side and stick to this side mainly . We walked thru mostly to get to beach but that's about it The check in was fine , we arrived early and our room wasn't ready but they stored luggage til they got us our room early just to drop bags and change The resort was empty ..in all my travels to Cuba (this was my 12) I have never seen a resort this quiet .but in speaking with our other friends that work at various re [... read more]sorts it's the same everywhere .it would appear most resorts are very empty. The beach is beautiful..it Cuba sandy and it was calm on the days we were there , lots of loungers available. Our room was a first floor building 28 closest to the pool and main lobby . The location was perfect . Be prepared , no safes and we had to ask maintenance to come and repair our sliding door to help it lock and we created a door jamb while we were not in the room. The room has a definite small of mildew and mold . The beds were comfortable . No coffee maker in our room and no glasses ..we just grabbed some from the buffet for room cocktails or coffee (we being a travel kettle ) The grounds were beautifully kept up and yes it's dark but let's be thankful we have power at the resorts as the locals do not. Bring a flashlight and leave it when you go . The bars - pool bar , beach bar and lobby bar were great they had everything we needed or wanted - vodka, gin, even soda and tonic ! Lots of red wine and of course beer (yes Cristal) The food in main buffet was Cuba buffet - they are doing the best with what they have Pizza station and fried rice were a nice surprise! They had ketchup , mustard and hot sauce and hp where we were there . Yes there are a ton of birds in main buffet...but your eating outside lol We only went to one al la carte the Japanese again- food was fine and people were amazing The staff are phenomenal, simple amazing ! Considering the hours they work and their hardships at home they are amazing ! I encourage everyone to actually get off the resort and go and experience Cuba ❤️ take some time and talk to them and understand and appreciate their history and their present . My partner always gets bitten by anything and even with spray and cream he got bit but not anymore or less then other trips ( bring spray and leave spray ) We used a local tour guide (and friend as we have used him for approx 11 excursions over the years ) Leysester Ortega We did a snorkel tour to the Bay of Pigs highly recommend for the history and the ? Fishies We also did an overnight to Habana and was able to really see Cuba ...and see the beauty and tragedy that is Cuba ❤️ feel free to message me if you want more details on the excursions - do it ....worth it and no where near the price of the *Sunwing * tours and personalized and amazing Overall , good resort no issues for us We would return

Paradisus Varadero: Very good hotel, outstanding personnel!

Chose the resort primarily for the sport activities, proximity to the beach and swimming pools. Exceeded my own and my family's expectations. While there is a nice basketball court, were no basketball hoops - we donated our basketball to the personnel. Played tennis and table tennis instead. Take your own sports gear if you enjoy sports. The beach was amazing, kept clean during our stay. Swimming pools steps from the ocean, showers and towel service available. Any issues or extra requests with y [... read more]our room, they will go beyond and above to fix it or make it good for you. Had modest expectations for food reading all the reviews - yet the food was decent with plenty of choices - exceeded my expectations.

Sanctuary White Sands: Resort has lot of problems

Rooms has problems with air conditioning, rooms has molds was in the ceilings and corners. For the bath towels they’re have big shortages. You have to call management many times asking for bath towels. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone else management staffs don’t wanna fix the issue not worth to go there at all. Food is very poor.

Sanctuary at Grand Memories Varadero: A nice trip, but wouldn't return

I had a great time despite some of the issues. My room was on the ground floor, the patio door had no lock and was impossible to open without putting all of my weight into it. The room was damp, and there were multiple signs of mold in different locations. My room was cleaned twice and I ran out of toilet paper. The mini fridge was not restocked despite it being advertised as a perk of upgrading. The shower flooded the entire bathroom with each use and there was a drip above the toilet that made [... read more] the toilet wet at all times. I spoke to other guests and they complained about the same sort of issues and were upgraded to much nicer rooms. I didn't complain (probably should have said something), I don't think you should have to in order to get what you pay for. The food was okay and there were always plenty of options. The facilities were a bit rundown in the sanctuary area. The small pool was empty, the fountains/waterfalls were all off and not functioning and the lighting was not always working. The staff were great at the sanctuary pool/snack bar, outside of that I had a mostly neutral experience. The grounds were beautiful and well kept, it was sad to see a lot of garbage around in some places, not the fault of the staff but rather a reflection of the guests. Overall I got what I went for, which was sun and some quiet time but I don't think I would return to this resort in particular for the price I paid.

Grand Aston Varadero Beach Resort: Great mini vacation

The resort was very clean and rooms were spacious and comfortable. The housekeepers were extremely friendly and helpful. There were times some foods or drinks ran out but there was always plenty of options and the food tasted good so it was never an issue for us or the kids. The pool chairs were extremely uncomfortable but there was always availability and the pool and pool bar were awesome. The beach had a very rocky area but we figured out quickly which part to walk into to avoid it. Wea [... read more]ther was fantastic and the trip was amazing overall!

Sol Palmeras: Sol Palmeres

Very good resort. Clean, and good service throughout. They try so hard with what they have to work with. Mostly powdered juices for mix at bars but the beer is always nice and cold and plentiful and always had red wine at the buffet. Lots of fresh food choices as well. I'm going back someday ?
