Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Beautiful beach…but!!

This can be a wonderful place to go to, but we felt that it lacked personnel. The beach was a 5 star!! The rooms are very nice…but the towels need to be replaced, so does the pool chairs and umbrellas. Not enough staff on all levels!!! We have been to other Coral resorts, but would not return to this one.

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Absolutely fantastic

My travel agent had been here the month before and her recommendation certainly proved to be right. The resort is amazing and extremely well laid out. I definitely enjoyed my stay and would definitely look forward to returning in the future.

Grand Aston Cayo Paredon Beach Resort: Best beach, crowded resort, food needs improvement.

The beach is simply the best part of this resort and area. The hotel is fairly new, very clean, easy to navigate, but seemed small for the number of tourists there -especially around the lobby bar, buffet and snack bar areas.

Sanctuary White Sands: Good resort Nice rooms

Liked the decor of rooms, the bathroom was of great size. All very clean. Food quite good, loved the menu, large variety of dishes. Staff adequate, polite even courtious. My B-Day fell in during my stay in the hotel and how surprised was I to see room service knocking on my door with a gift of bottle of Havana Rum! Super nice! ——- Maybe 2 things, one: if the towels in our room got changed every day, the picure would be perfect. It wasn’t a big deal, maybe a little surprise, as everything e [... read more]lse shined. 2nd: there wasn’t enough canopies / shades on the beach. People were getting up early to reserve the chairs /beds under shades early morning hours. A bit of a hustle.

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Meh

We booked this trip based on the reviews and partly because of the potential honeymoon upgrade. Unfortunately, there was no upgrade or discussion of such but did request to see our marriage certificate and said they would send a "special surprise." Instead of a room upgrade, they sent sparkling wine to our room. It was a beautiful beach but the resort itself doesn't look like it's 5 years new. We had mold spores in our bathroom, everything in our room was damp from the toilet paper to the pillow [... read more]s and bedding. I would not recommend this resort to others. Guests are only given 500 mLs of water per day, understanding there are shortages but this became increasingly difficult during our stay. The flight landed around 6:15, we didn't get to our hotel until 8:30. When we arrived, there were dance performances right in the lobby where we needed to walk through to get checked in. This was very cumbersome and not helpful to entering guests just trying to get to their rooms after a long day of travel. I think five stars for this resort is incredibly generous, I wouldn't say it's more than three stars at maximum. We had great in flight experiences with airtransat and would definitely fly with them in future.

Melia Costa Rey: GGREAT RESORT

Fantastic staff and resort...food great weather amazing so clean ...for cuba this is a top resort. Thank you to Felix and Victor of thr staff for being so kind The beach was so nice and water so warm what a great time ...

Grand Aston Cayo Paredon Beach Resort: Best beach on the planet. Hotel Management needs to improve.

All in all, it's Cuba; so the lack of supplies did not scare me. I was really looking forward to enjoying this location, and I did; however, the buffet felt crowded and the line ups were painful almost at all times. The Chefs do an amazing job at making the best out of whatever little they get... I sincerely appreciate that. Their hard work does not got unnoticed, despite most people criticizing the outcome of their efforts. There is a lot that can be improved, so I will not least it all, BUT  [... read more]I will SAY the the buffet and the lobby bar need serious help... YESTERDAY. Thank you to all the workers!

Melia Cayo Coco: Beautiful resort, excellent service all around!

Our 5 th visit to MCC did not disappoint! This resort is a gem. The grounds and buildings are meticulously maintained. Food was good, drinks plentiful! The Cuban people who work here make it the best place to vacation. The beach and ocean is gorgeous! As always we loved our stay and will be back!

Tryp Cayo Coco: Great resort

The staff was amazing and friendly. The rooms & grounds were very clean. The rooms are dated but everything worked. Maintenance crew was very quick if anyone needed anything fixed. A nice close walk from the pool or room to the ocean. The sand on the beach was beautiful and lots of chairs with shade is provided. Snack bar was fast to get a bite to eat. The Italian dinner was delicious and insanely filling.

Sanctuary White Sands: Beautiful new resort

This beautiful new resort has lot's of potential with some minor tweaks. The beach is beautiful with almost enough chairs and they were building more shade areas as we speak. Although you need to get up early to reserve them . We traveled as a group of six and had some minor issues ,one room had no blankets which was corrected quickly,my brother had no beach towels which took unfortunately three days to get his towels. We also had some difficulty with getting enough bottle water at some points o [... read more]f the trip . The food was good for the most part with some shortages mostly with green vegetables such as green beans,broccoli ,brussel sprouts and fruit. The food in the serving trays are typically cold and this is the area that this resort needs the most work at to improve to get it to the next level. I found if you wanted hot food you had to go to the grilling stations. The cooks at the omelette and grilling stations did a excellent job. The drinks were good but limited and had some shortages with mix such as ginger ale and other mixes. The service for the most part was very good other then the snack bar which was very slow. We had a pool view room was a nice large room well equipped with a very comfortable bed, a huge shower with tons of water pressure and no issues with hot water with a nice big balcony. it was the best room that I had so far in Cuba . Overall we really enjoyed this resort and would return .

Tryp Cayo Coco: Great resort and staff

The hotel was great! The rooms were dated but clean! The dining was great and the staff were terrific. We had a great time staying here and would definitely come back again. It would have been nice to see the martini bar open because I loved the drinks that were served the first time we visited Tryp Cao Coco.

Sanctuary White Sands: Amazing time!!

Beautiful resort ,awesome staff, rooms are clean , no shortage of food ,drinks were plentiful and the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. The only thing negative I can say is they need blankets/comforter for the beds , if you ask for a blanket they just give you another top sheet!! I will definitely be going back!!

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Paradise

Quiet, small resort, very clean, long gorgeous beach, you can walk for miles, no loud music on the beach ( the way we like). The stuff are very friendly, welcoming,always with the smile ( thank you “Capitano” and your team) helpful management, available all the time. The food; the best I had in Cuba and more; all kind of cheese, meat, very good Spanish wine, you can eat at the special restaurants or in the dining room ( if you don’t like what is ready make you can as chef to prepare fresh fish,  [... read more]chicken, pork, sometimes beef or seafood. We really enjoyed entertainment every night after supper; all the artists, musicians are very talented. Thank you for the amazing time, we will be back

Sanctuary White Sands: Sanctuary White Sands

Modern, New and well laid out! PROS: Great pool and nice walkway to beach. Good food and a variety of a la carte restaurants. Buildings easily identified and well lit. Great animation team! CONS Slow service(lack of personnel or experience) No shopping(no boutiques)

Melia Costa Rey: Great resort

Everything at this resort was all good. Rooms were clean and had no shortage of any products. Food was good and the staff were very friendly. Had no issues here. I highly recommend this resort. The pools were amazing and the beach was great. I will definitely be going back next year.

Grand Aston Cayo Paredon Beach Resort: Peaceful Paradise in Cuba

The resort is a quick 20 minute drive from the Jardines Del Ray airport. We stayed in room 5412 and had a gorgeous view, hot water, comfortable beds, accessibility to USB plug ins. The beach is safe and shallow enough for children. It is one of the most clean, clear and pristine beaches I have seen. Shout out to Ebert and Yalainy at the beach bar, they are amazing! They had plentiful options from beer, gin and tonic, rum punch and tequila. There was a shortage of slush beverages during our stay  [... read more](no pina coladas or daiquiris). The service at this hotel is exceptional. Alejandro, bartender and server and the hotel gardeners treated us like family. The cons of this resort like most Cuban resorts are the food and the wait times. With that being said, we did not starve; there was always something to eat. We also were on vacation and had time to wait or would plan our meal times when it wasn’t the busiest hour. We did encounter some arrogance and hostility from the front lobby bartenders at times that was off- putting. I also would not recommend this resort if you are looking for night life.

Melia Cayo Coco: ALWAYS FABULOUS

This was my 6th trip to Melia Cayo Coco. The resort is well maintained, the grounds are lovely, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff is the best. I was so pleased with the quality and variety of the food in all of the eating establishments. The beach is second to none and the weather was amazing.

Starfish Cayo Guillermo: Only 2 choices

Choice 1:kiteboard Choice 2:read n relax The ocean is only 6 to 18 inches deep. One day that depth was a kilometre off shore All sandbars. No fish. Beautiful grounds. Consistant good food. Staff was nice. But not all of them. Loved the cayo coco airport! No we will not return to this resort unless i take up kiteboarding. 21weeks over 15 years repeat cuba visitor

Melia Costa Rey: Nice resort

The rooms are well maintained, the personnel is very nice. The food is good, the choice at the buffet is varied. The beach was nice and not too crowded. The entertainment crew was good. All in all, it was a great first experience for me!

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Fabulous Resort

Stayed on the Coral side in a swim up room. Resort is very clean, staff is wonderful. Janner at the cigar bar makes the best Mojitos, Dairon at the buffet will make sure you are well looked after, Helen in the lobby bar is a sweetheart and makes sure your drink is full. Anything else you need then Ariel and Carlos are the go to in the lobby office. Housekeeping staff is top notch! Beach bar has the best Margaritas! Pools are clean and beach is absolutely beautiful.
