Melia Las Dunas: Amazing experience

The hotel was absolutely gorgeous. The the staff were incredibly friendly! I want to especially thank our maid service, drink service to the room, our buffet server and all the bar staff. I also want to say that the beach is incredible and there were always huts available which was awesome Thankyou for the wonderful memories!

Melia Jardines del Rey: Great resort

I thought the hotel was great!!! The staff were really approachable and willing to help you!! I liked the beach being nice and close to the hotel I would recommend this hotel to my family and friends Looking forward to going back to Cuba

Melia Marina Varadero: Fantastic resort, surpassed expectations!

Our first time to a "hotel style" resort and we were very pleased with our choice. Staff works hard to keep the grounds clean, hotel common areas are well maintained, our room was very nice and the housekeeping staff did a fantastic job on keeping it clean and delivering special requests in a very prompt delay. The 3 restaurants "a la carte" were great, staff are very polite and professional, food was delicious. We enjoyed the French restaurant the most out of the 3. The main buffet area was nic [... read more]e, busy at times but a lot of staff to support everyone, a lot of different food selections, we ate very well during the week and were surprised we had the chance to eat tacos one night! The pool area was very nice, room for everyone. The beach, what else to say but AMAZING. Crystal clear water and white sand! Beach bar is close by and the restaurant was very nice too, good food! The quick 5 minute walk is worth it or the valet shuttle is readily available to bring you to the beach. The marina side of the hotel is very nice as well. Seeing the catamarans and fishing boats leave and return everyday, variety of dance shows and bands every night to entertain the vacationers. We would return to this hotel for sure. Great vacation!

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Great Resort

The resort was beautiful. The staff were exceptional. Very polite and very helpful. The grounds were kept tidy and very clean. The food at the buffet and a la carte were excellent. The Ocean view Villas were nice except that there were trees, weeds and bushes blocking the view to the Ocean. We did not have those, but people who paid a lot more money for those were disappointed. I would not pay for those. Our room was very nice close to the main building. A two minute walk to the pool and beach. [... read more] I did not understand why at Dinner in the Buffet that men had to wear long pants, yet women could wear their bathing suits or cutoff jeans. On a couple occasions a women wore her thong bikini at dinner and nobody said anything to her. I can see in the A La Carte having to dress up, but in the buffet that was not air conditioned. Did not make sense. All the men as I did went and changed as soon as we left the buffet to enjoy the night at the shows. Over all I would rate it a true 5 star for Cuba. I have been to Cuba 12 times and this rates right up there with the best of them. My wife who is very picky even liked it as one of the best we have been to there.

Sol Cayo Coco: Enjoyable Stay

We had a relaxing , enjoyable stay at Sol Cayo Coco. The gardens are beautiful , very well kept. As for the rooms, very clean. Our room was ocean view, and quiet area. The rooms are getting old (we know that about 50 rooms are getting updated for the high season); we had some issues with our first room with the lock( fixed right away) and then the air conditioning. But , they quickly accommodated us with another room which was in order. That's how you see the costumer service really working [... read more] when you encounter issues; they were more than helpful and with a friendly attitude. We cannot say enough about the staff...so friendly and nice...we are sorry to forget the names of most of them as everyone we met exceeded our expectation. But one was really working hard and so sweet , his name is Roberto at the buffet. He learned what we liked very quickly; for breakfast , as soon as he would see us, he would go get cappuccinos; at lunch , two beers were waiting for us...that's service... and the guy (sounds like Lewis...) who made the pankake was a sweetheart. The beaches are beautiful . Since it was low season, there was always palapas available. As for the largo beach, it was harder to find a place as it seems to be more of a public beach The food is very good; you can easily find something you will like at the buffet. There is only one à la carte restaurant in the low season; but very nice with a piano player. You've got to try their lamb!!! I usually stick with fish in Cuba (the best), but I took a chance on the lamb and it was excellent. Again, I just loved the two waitresses at this restaurant.(we got to go a few times...) Again, forgot the names, but I always let one of them pick for me what I would eat and was really happy with the choices she made for me... So, if you are looking for a small simple friendly hotel, this is the place!

Paradisus Rio De Oro: EXCELLENCE

THIS LONG TIME ADULTS ONLY FAVOURITE DID NOT DISAPPOINT. BUILDINGS WHERE WELL SPACED WITH VERY WELL MAINTAINED GROUNDS. OUR ROOM WAS A GROUND FLOOR,PATIO UNIT. IN BUILDING 40 THAT WAS 2 BUILDINGS FROM THE MAIN LOBBY AND THE BUFFET/A LA CARTE RESTAURANTS IN ONE DIRECTION WHILE 4 BUILDINGS FROM THE MAIN POOL. THE ROOM WAS A BED WITH SUNKEN SITTING AREA WITH A SMALL PATIO. THE POOL WAS A LARGE L-SHAPE THAT YOU COULD DO LAPS IN. ITS SWIM UP BAR WAS WELL ATTENDED AND A FOCAL POINT FOR MEETING OTHE [... read more]R GUEST (MOSTLY BRITS AND CANADIANS.). NEXT TO THE POOL WAS A WELL ATTENDED BAR AND GRILLE WHILE IN THE THE OTHER DIRECTION WAS THE SHORT WALK DOWN TO THE BEACH BAR AND GRILLE AND THE BEGINNING OF THE 2 KM. PLAYA ESMERELDA. THE GROUNDS HAD A WELL SHADED WALKING PATH ALONG THE SEA FOR A QUARTER MILE TO THE FAR END OF THE PROPERTY. THIS PATH TAKES YOU PAST A WELL APPOINTED GYM AND VERY NICE SPA WITH ITS OWN POOL AND SMALL PRIVATE BEACH. THERE IS ANOTHER SMALL BEACH AND A LARGER UNDER USED BEACH AT THE THE FAR EASTERN END OF THE PROPERTY. THIS IS BACKED BY THE UPSCALE ROYAL RESERVE UNITS UP THE HILL WITH ITS OWN MAIN LOUNGE AND RECEPTION BUILDING. OUR VISIT WAS MID JULY, OFF-SEASON BUT THE WEATHER WAS HOT WITH WARM NIGHTS. THE QUIETNESS OF THE RESORT AWAY FROM THE POOL AREA WAS VERY RELAXING. THE STAFF IN ALL AREAS WHERE VERY FRIENDLY AND APPROACHABLE IF YOU HAD QUESTION. I WILL RETURN HERE IN THE FUTURE AND CAN RECOMMEND IT.

Memories Cayo Largo: stunning

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Nice resort

Close to perfection, very pleasant experience without royal services. Perfect location for outdoor people, maybe challenging for non swimmers because water way entrance. Perfect spot for snorkeling and diving. Just recommended to my son and hopefully he will get our advise. Very hard to find something unlikeable at this resort and all personnel was very pleasant and courteous. We never use the pool but was pleasent athmosfere around the pool. We will be back in the future.

Melia Las Dunas: Great resort!

Here is a breakdown of our stay at Melia Las Dunas (adults only side) from July 3-8. PROS Despite many peoples complaints about the food in Cuba and the poor state of the accommodations, we felt as though the food was good and we were very well taken care of. Our room was nice and clean and was maintained daily. The staff at the restaurants were extraordinarily hard working and mindful of their patrons. We were particularly impressed with the Ranchon (beach restaurant) with their attenti [... read more]ve wait staff, manager and hardworking cooks. The resort is literally split into two halves, one for adults only and the other for families. We appreciated having quiet time to lounge and swim without crying babies and children running around, while the families still had a place to vacation without disturbing everyone else. The 24hr lobby bar and snack bar are great features after everything else has closed and even in the early morning hours when the airport buses come and go. The beach was big and beautiful with white sand, warm clear water and a plenty of seating and even though we travelled to this resort with the beaches in mind the pools proved to be just as good! The many other resorts attached to this resort were great to see as well as the near by markets. CONS July is the quiet season. We were aware of this when we went, but other travellers should be warned that despite the advertised amenities, some will be closed. When we arrived in July, several restaurants and one of the two main buffets were closed (which is understandable due to the amount of people there) which made the one buffet considerably busy and the remaining restaurants that were open overbooked. The staff is very polite and helpful, but at times can be overly helpful expecting tips when it is unnecessary. Although this was not an issue, it can be an annoyance at times, especially when you are not prepared to pay anyone. We did witness a baggage handler getting very upset with a woman over not giving a tip. We know this is no party resort, however the 6:00pm general closing times for the most of the grounds including the pool areas, beach areas, ice cream stand, and pizzeria seemed a little early especially when the sun didn't set until hours later. It is understandable that the beach closed for obvious safety reasons, but the other amenities should at least be open until 8 or 9. Aside from the hotel itself, the bus ride from the airport to the resort is long and tiresome as well as the airport wait, however the staff worked hard to ensure everyone made it to their flights and did their best to entertain the guests during the bus ride. These cons are all simply little inconveniences to us, which didn't really impact us enjoying our vacation. OVERALL This is a very good resort that works above and beyond to serve and impress their guests and will be sure to offer a great vacation spot for couples or families. The inconveniences do not surpass the good features this resort has to offer, we highly recommend it and look forward to travelling to Cuba again in the future!

Sol Rio de Luna y Mares: Good resort!

Beaitiful hotel and grounds. Food was good, better than in most hotels we've visited over the period of last 15 years. The only thing I did not like was long walk down to the beach under the hot Cuban sun.

Melia Las Americas: We fell in love with Cuba and with Hotel Melia Las Americas

We were in awe from the moment we entered the lobby. Great hotel, service, activities and food! The beach is breathtaking! We were pleasantly surprised by the food. This was our first visit to Cuba, and we had heard so many bad comments. We actually had a few very pleasant meals in the speciality restaurants.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Good resort in Cuba

Overall, it was a nice resort. Employees were friendly. Food was good but it was almost the same for the whole week. The resort is old and there were some problems in my room.First the TV was not working,and also if you want beach towels you have to go early if you because they will run out. The toilet wasn't working and it always gets stuck

Melia Las Americas: Our First Visit... And Hopefully Not Our Last

Our first trip to Cuba turned out wonderful! We were impressed with the hotel as soon as we walked in, and were very pleasantly surprised when we saw our room. We has heard so many bad comments regarding the food quality in Cuba, but the food at the Melia Las Americas was perfectly acceptable. We actually had a few delicious meals in the speciality restaurants.

Melia Las Americas: NEVER DISAPPOINTS

Always glad to return to the Melia Las Americas. It is our 'go to' place for rest and renewal. Mr. Meyers, the 'boss' is a fine gentleman, ever present, ever pleasant and available to chat. Raphael, the banquet manager, is a low-keyed, professional, keeping his eyes on what's going on. There are many 'veteran' staff that we have known many years. It is such a pleasant encounter with each & every one of them, and they are so kind to us. The facilities, the beach, the pools, the food, a [... read more]nd everything else are great. Generally, it seems everyone gives full effort to keep the Melia Las Americas a great place!!!

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Great facilities

Though the hotel and facilities were spectacular, I found the staff to be a little on the unhelpful side. Maybe it was because I traveled in the off-season, but the staff did the bare minimum of their job requirements. That being said it's hard to argue with such an amazing location. Also Havana is a must see city!

Hotel Camino del Mar: Beautiful resort

Friendly staff, clean rooms, nice selection of food. Garden is well looked after and beach is very clean. There is a doctor's office as well. Toilet did not flush, and one of the light bulb was out. We called customer service and staff came to fix the problems right away. Customer service follow-up with a telephone call to find out whether the problems have been looked after. Very long fishing pier where we were able to fish and we caught some and gave them to the locals. This is our secon [... read more]d time at Melia Cayo Guillermo. Very enjoyable.

Melia Las Dunas: Great resort !

We recently stayed at this hotel as it was recommended by our friends. We were pleasantly surprised that it was just as they said it would. The hotel itself is a bit older and might need a little 'face lift' bit it was charming in its on way. Loved that the lobby and everything that u needed didn't require climbing stairs as it was located on the ground level. The rooms were well ventilated so no musky smell, towels nice and clean changed daily and air conditioning working extremely well conside [... read more]ring it was close to 40°C. Staff very friendly and helpful throughout the resort, the beach even though it was narrow it was clean and we'll maintained by the friendly staff. Surprisingly even the food was good l😀. We go to Cuba every July and we can officially say we found the perfect resort for those looking for some quiet time or those with families😊

Melia Habana: Great hotel!

The pool is the best in all Havana. Great food. Clean room. Nice entertainment. Far from the city but there is the free shuttle to Old Havana several times per day. In bar beer: $3, any cocktail: $6 in bar, pizza $10+.

Sol Rio de Luna y Mares: Hidden Gem

If you're not too picky, you'll love this resort. Friendly staff, AMAZING beach, and beautiful grounds. Only complaint was that check-in took 30 minutes- for some it took over 3 hours!! Some people complained about the food, but I loved it- fresh seafood every day! The room was very outdated (Luna side), and we were missing a shower, but one call and five minutes later, there was a handy man there within 5 minutes. New 1L bottle of water every day (plus you can get water at the bar- don't drink  [... read more]the tap!). Tipping was appreciated but it never seemed forced. Overall, well worth the price.

Melia Las Dunas: Beautiful beach

Everything was good except the blankets and the bed sheets were too old. Beautiful beach but watch out with the jellyfish, my kids got stung on the 1st day at the beach. A long walk from resort to the beach. Great done with the nighty entertainment.
