Brisas Del Caribe: Good for price

Overall was a good resort. It was maintained good. Pools were clean. Beach was perfect. Food never went hungry. Rooms definitely need to be done over. Had to switch rooms. The first room power went out and shower didn't work.

Brisas Del Caribe: Beautiful resort

The grounds were beautiful , always well kept ! The food was great , the workers were always friendly and helpful. The beach was beautiful and tonnes of fun activities for the whole family to do on resort!

Hotel Blau Las Morlas Varadero Beach: It was ok

It has the potential to be an awesome place, it's smaller and easy to get around. It is a little dated and could use some paint and upkeep on the grounds. The food and menu choices need to be reviewed and changed a bit more often.

Brisas Del Caribe: A Good Resort (no frills, but exceeds minimum)

Staff: Amazing. If you're friendly, so are they. And that's without tipping. Grounds: Lovely, lots of places to roam and relax - both north and south side. Beach: Brilliant. But, if you like shade, you have to get to beach or poolside, to 'hog' your spot, just like everyone else does, whether they remain empty for hours or not, with just a towel to save it. That's just the way it is, and we had to join the club, or risk severe sunburning. Nice Market on-site. I liked the food, even if it was rep [... read more]etitive. Great drinks and coffee. Animation staff, excellent! Kids Club, good, but I don't recommend leaving small children unattended, especially if they wander off easily or follow others, so stay near, otherwise, if your kid is older and can look out for him/herself, relax. Your kids safety is your responsibility, to put it in another is not responsible. They mean to provide a service to a group of kids, all different needs and ages at once, so be mindful. Margarita is lovely. The actual resort itself is where the real issues are: We spent 7 nights, our sheets were never exchanged for clean ones, out towels were, and the room was tidied, but I would never say it was Cleaned. I wiped off on the mirror, what I assumed was rust, but it came off with simple water. To me, no matter the socio-economic issues of a place, cleanliness is the cheapest and simplest thing a place and people can achieve, when it's not done, it just feels careless. The humidity and heat were quite high while we were there. The room was smelly as a result. We switched from one room to another, and the smell consistent. Only bothersome when you first enter. I would bring incense. All my clothes, whether worn or not, had to be washed of that small when I got home, because it permeated and dampened my clothes. Different stories on the AC. We had none. Some folk we spoke to had lots. We were offered the south side originally, but preferred to be closer to beach, restaurant, etc on north side. We knew people on south side, who were happy with their rooms, especially the size. Complaints come in all ways, but they boil down to your taste and expectations. I was mostly disappointed with the cleanliness and lack of AC. We spent the last few nights: sleepless. I was disappointed that Trip Advisor did not arrange seating for my toddler and I to sit together. An entire flight of 'friendly newfoundlanders' refused to switch so that we could sit together, until the pilot actually had to insist on volunteers to do so (this after the stewards asked TWICE). I had never experienced such inflexibility and sheer selfishness, the couple would only be one seat apart in the exchange for my son and I to sit together, and one of them would get extra leg room in the exit aisle. I was shocked, having travelled most of the world with and without my son, and have witnessed and experienced much more kindness on other flights. Overall, depending on the person, I would recommend to most of my practical-minded, low-maintenance friends. P.S. the a la cartes - are nothing special. you can eat the same food in the regular buffet, it's only more decorative, and it's quiet, which can be a welcome change.

Brisas Del Caribe: A Resort in Transition...

This resort is 20+ years old, as such is in need of lots of TLC especially the rooms. The common areas seem to have gotten most of the attention and cosmetically are pleasing while the rooms, depending on what side of the resort you are in, are in varying states of disrepair, however renovations are ongoing. The rooms in the North Building are a little smaller than those in the South Building, and even though those in the south are referred to as ‘Bungalows’ they are actually rooms in blocks [... read more] not individual units. It is about a five minute walk up a paved roadway or across a parking lot from the South building to the North where most of the amenities are, and about another five minutes to the beach. This is a smaller resort which caters to the Cuban clientele, as a result, the food is most definitely Cuban and repetitive, the staples at lunch and dinner seem to be rice, beans, local vegetables, fruit salted fish and ‘mystery meat’. The same fare is served every day, in addition dishes in the buffet are either under done, or over done, high in sodium and fats, the grease just hangs in the air at all of the grills. There is a beach grill but the quality of food is not much better than the main buffet. The pools in the North building are clean but small, and being linked together the pool area tends to be very noisy with all the activity that goes on, and not much lounging area. In order to secure a spot with shade, you pretty well have to get out at 7:00 am to secure your spot. The pool in the South Building is a bit larger but lacks shade as well. The beach which is public is nice, but again, not much shade as the number of palapas are limited, here too you would have to secure your spot on the beach early if you hope to have any shade. What this resort lacks in quality, they make up for in service, as the staff are only to happy to assist you in any way they can, any deficiencies or limitations suffered by the guest of this resort are certainly no fault of the staff, they work with what they have. Will I go back to this resort again? No, this resort clearly targets a different market and clientele, one that is a little less discriminating.

Grand Oasis Palm: Don't stay here unless you want to get sick

My family of 5 stayed at the Grand Oasis Palm in April 2015. Within 3 days 2 members became violently ill with vomiting and diarrhea and 2 more members became sick within a couple more days. The lab tests after our return home revealed salmonella poisoning. When reading the reviews of this hotel, we read that many people have gotten sick here. This hotel cannot keep up with cleanliness and accommodating the amount of people that stay at this resort. The cleanliness of the pool water was very que [... read more]stionable. The beach and pools are not big enough for the amount of people at this resort. Very overcrowded. We will not return.

Grand Oasis Palm: standard resort

We travelled to Mexico on April 5th to the Grand Oasis Palm...keep in mind we absolutely love Mexico.....like the oasis viva the year before its not rated correctly in our eyes. Standard rooms, mediocre food, really surprising for Mexico and you just don't get that feeling we've gotten at other resorts. The Oasis franchises nickel and dime you....will not be returning to any hotel with the name of Oasis in it. That being said will definitely use Tripcentral when we book our next trip.

Grand Oasis Palm: Excellent Resort

Very comfortable and pleasant hotel. Very friendly staff - Two staff members that deserve special mention are Yazmin Romero At La Bamba -Seafood Restaurant ( Charming , professional and always smiling!) and Mr. Israel B. at Palmas Breakfast Restaurant ( Friendly and excellent service !) Rooms are Large and very comfortable. Evening shows are just incredible- not to be missed.

Brisas Del Caribe: good resort

Rooms are pretty clean. Grounds well kept food is not great but there is a bit of variety a LA carte restaurants are good definitely beats the buffet staff is friend and helpfull all in all decent hotel for the price had worst experience in 4 stars hotels in cuba

Brisas Del Caribe: Nice resort

The resort was nice the beach is beautiful the food was eatable the entertainment was good the service was good we had a couple of mishaps but was fixed fast so we didn't really notice would go back for the right price

Brisas Del Caribe: Receptionists should be more polite

In my group were ten members, one infant and nine adults. Our expectations were that young couple with a child with get the room first, didn't happened, and they have to wait for a crib two days. On top of that four of five rooms we occupied were without air condition. Also one day didn't have hot water. In one room lights didn't work, in my and other one telephone. Telephone was fixed on Wednesday in other room, I left before technician showed up to fix a telephone in my room. Dishes were dirty [... read more]. I visited a resort on reference.

Brisas Del Caribe: Good, Just Good.

Its Cuba. The beaches and weather are fantastic, 10 straight days of sun, no clouds, no rain. White sand beaches and crystal blue waters. Very windy though. On the other hand, the food and the accommodations leave to be desired. The buffet is below average. The food is weird like they don't have a particular theme or pattern or an idea in mind of what they want to serve. Its all over the place and is not very good. The 24 hour snack bar, forget about it. It may satisfy you drunk at 3am but for a [... read more]ny other time of day, it borders on inedible. We gave a piece of hamburger to a skinny starving dog and he wouldn't eat it. Just kept looking at the table wondering when we would give him "food" so who knows what is in those things. The A La Carte restaurants are alright so book them all. As for the rooms, their average. They could use some touch ups and minor fixups but other then that their alright. The rooms were beyond humid. You left a t-shirt on the chair and it would be soaked the next day. Also filled with mosquitos. Must bring mosquito repellant. When I left I could count over 50 bites on arms and face. Luckily there is no malaria. Its a nice big resort as you would expect with many restaurants and bars and the grounds are well kept. They have a scooter rental on location and they don't cost very much. One of the things I love about Cuba. Varadero is not far away, only about a 10 minute/10CUC ride. If you want to go to Cuba, you want a good resort and don't want to spend too much, this one is the way to go.

Brisas Del Caribe: Wouldn't go back

First off, the beach...Beautiful! Resort itself, run down and even going not expected much of anything, I was disappointed. Food-is Cuban food, nothing to rave about, but didn't starve either. Rooms-felt dirty the entire time. Resort-not kept up to how it should have been. Most workers unfriendly. Coffee bar in lobby amazing, entertainment staff were also great! With the positives there were, it would not bring me back to this resort. The bad far outweighed the good.

Brisas Del Caribe: Good resort

Nice resort nice beach and amenities good service rooms are too old and some of them have broken stuff .In general stuff were friendly .the massage is amazing and they have scooters renting station right on sight!!!with was very convenient!!!A lot of inter taming programs and concerts

Brisas Del Caribe: Amazing resort

Overall the resort was great, service was good, food was good, rooms were average.... Beach was clean and beautiful...not too far from the market... we went swimming with the dophin and had a great experience ;)

Be Live Turquesa: Be Live Turquesa

Excellent resort, food was great, service excellent, accommodation very comfortable. Would go back again and again. Loved it! Recommend travellers take small gifts to the staff, they are very grateful.

Be Live Turquesa: Amazing vacation!

Very nice quiet resort. Not a party resort more older couples. Not many kids but weekends they rent rooms to the locals and cuban study week we were invaded by very many young cubans. I would recommend going but not on their study break!

Be Live Turquesa: Will return great resort

4 days ago. Great resort old but clean. Friendly staff just like family. Will be returning. clean room but not fancy. love the staff there are always happy to help with no expectation. We were there for 10 days and will return. A nice place to relax. Good food and plenty. We never had to wait at the buffet. The À la carte restaurant (there is three) but our favorite was the Mexica (+++ for the waitress). Lesaro super for anythings at the reception. The beach is fabulous and always enough chairs [... read more] and shade. No problem to reserve a spot for a few pesos. thanks again to the staff for a great vacation hola

Be Live Turquesa: Highly recomended

We have travelled regularly to tropical destinations in the last years staying in 5 stars rated resorts to more modest ones. Where we were happily surprised with the Be live Turquesa was the amount of return clients we encountered during our stay, some of them for the 7th time... After a few days we understood why.... The resort itself is modest in size, the rooms dated but clean and freshly painted. You will not find smoke salmon and shrimp cocktails at the buffet restaurant but the difference  [... read more]is in the service and wonderful friendly attitude from the staff of all levels. We never had to wait in line at the restaurant where your meat or omelets will be cooked to your specifications, and the variety of food is surprisingly very impressive. The bartenders remember what you drink and the staff remember you after the first day. The beach is absolutely fantastic, and there is always plenty of clean chairs in a shady area if the sun is too much for you. The pool is refreshing and the entertainment is tasteful and professional. You are at a close distance of Varadero where you can do some shopping or easily take a day tour to Havana safely. We highly recommend this place and take this opportunity to thank the wonderful persons we met there Ola Lasaro, Maria Louisa and Yony(life guard).

Brisas Del Caribe: Fantastic

Rooms were very clean, not the newest hotel but renovating to make it more enjoyable.Had chance to see renovated room and was very impressed.We loved the foodand amenities. Have been there before and will definetely go back. THE BEST!!!!
