Melia Cayo Santa Maria: Nice resort

Nice hotel, spacious, comfortable rooms, resort easy to get around, nice pool, amazing beach, friendly staff. There is room for improvement Check in took 3 hours, room was not ready Service at beach restaurant was hectiqc But I still think it is one of the best hotels on Cayo Santa Maria, would recommend it to friends.

Melia Las Dunas: horrible

I've been to cuba plenty of times and by far thus was the worst hotel... would NEVER go back!

Melia Las Dunas: Very bad resort

Hotel was horrible staff was horrible very bad experience will never go there again. If you do end up going to the hotel make sure you bring a lot of towels because they never have towels on hand. If you don't mind bad customer service go to this place

Melia Jardines del Rey: beautiful resort. bad beach

I absolutely love this hotel and the people who work it. Everyone was so friendly towards us and service was spectacular. The beach is rocky so bring water shoes and you'll be fine.. without them you may want to stick to the pools. The Nats were really bad so bringing spray wouldn't hurt if that will get rid of them. Other than that everything was great including the food. We upgraded to elegance club and I don't recommend it.. I didn't find we had anything special other than our a la cartes wer [... read more]e pre booked that was about it.

Melia Cayo Santa Maria: Loved our holiday.

Grounds are very well kept. Always able to get a chair at the pool and beach. Staff is wonderful. Rooms were a little disappointing. Ours smelled of mould, bathroom door in rough shape. Food and restaurants were great.

Sol Rio de Luna y Mares: Our favourite resort in Cuba

After 20 visits to Cuba, this remains our favourite resort. This was our fourth visit. In particular, we enjoy the gorgeous white powdery sand beach, the ideal location, having the choice of a five-storey hotel or a low rise units, very nice staff, and the scenic surroundings. Our favourite restaurant is there on the beach -- under the palm trees -- beside the azure water and the pure white sand. The food has always been plentiful and varied, and the various ethnic restaurants are interesting, b [... read more]ut one does not go to Cuba for the food. On the other hand, the quality of life is fantastic. Take a ride on the catamarans. Visit the nature park on the one side, and the five-star resort on the other. (It's no better...) Climb the escarpment. Go to a baseball game in Holguin.

Melia Las Antillas: Melia Las Antillas

The resort itself needs to be upgraded, 16 years old, the rooms were decent size but need to be updated, wood dressers refinished, walls painted, etc. Pools are beautiful, ladies bathroom by pool just redone. Beach bar just reopened. Beach is beautiful. Food was surprisingly very good, buffet excellent. The front lobby needs some tile work done. Only 350 rooms, never too busy in any of the areas. Staff very pleasant and friendly. Nightly entertainment very good.

Melia Jardines del Rey: Not the best choice...

I was expecting more from Melia (I've been to Melia Varadero, Cayo Santa Maria and Cayo Guillermo before). Unfortunately I had an accident the very first day on my way to the beach, I slipped on a puddle of water (after a heavy rain the hotel did not clean the water) going down the stairs. Nobody seemed to care, I was called 2 days after(!!) to be asked if I was OK. I travelled alone and it was challenging to move around. The Cuban a la carte served me row fish (cooked from frozen), again no one [... read more] bothered to do anything. Because of my foot injury I had to eat lunch at the beach restaurant, the meat was not cooked properly and the other choices were overcooked pasta, rice and French fries...The first evening we were left on our own to find the bungalows...a good manager would've used the golf carts to drive the tourists to their rooms. There was a mini fridge in my room with beer and soft drinks but was not turned ON when I got there (11 pm) .First impression is important. The toilet in my washroom did not flush, I had to open the reservoir every time I was using it. Didn't bother to complain but I was wondering how the maid cleaned it??? I've been to Cuba 14 times, I will go again but never to Melia Jardines del Rey. The beach is full of rocks, so is the water. A few metres to the left there is a public beach, nice and clean....no rocks in the water.

Melia Cayo Santa Maria: Midium Title-3 staars. no moore

Of course the beach and the sea (without any changing rooms) than Cuba known. Good music and show program. Everything else is BAD:-Service, Food is monotonous without traditional type of seafood, anywhere in the begging tip. The room does not match the price. Distance from the airport takes up almost half of the day. We been bitten by Miskito.

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Good resort with amazing staff.

We have booked the Royal Service at Paradisus Del Mar 3x in 2 years. We have noticed the quality of the food has declined since our first visit. The Royal Service pooI needs a little upkeep. I have expressed it to management. Management has changed every time we have visited. I do have to express that the service from our butler Ernesto and Bar tenders Nacho and Mila at the beach makes us return. The beach service is amazing.

Starfish Cayo Largo: Issues unmentioned-

BEACH IS NOT SWIMMABLE - CURRENTS ARE TOO STRONG This fact alone made for biggest downside of the resort. We were told the morning after our arrival that you have to pay for taxi rides to bring you to other side of the island where beaches have less waves. The morning scramble to get onto a taxi was very unpleasant as people push ahead and drivers cram you inside the cab for a very uncomfortable ride.

Hotel Camino del Mar: Home away from home

I have visited this resort 4 times in the past 2 years.. the resort it's self needs a little TLC here and there, but if you go in with an open mind.. realizing that it is Cuba and not a 5 star Mexican resort you will love it. I'm a picky eater and have no problems with the food. The Beach is beautiful, pool is also a great place to be.. but the lining in some spots is coming up and needs to be fixed. The people who work at the resort go above and beyond to make sure you are happy and having the  [... read more]best time. I consider these people my second family and can't wait to go back!

Melia Marina Varadero: Great quality all around

comfortable beds, clean and fairly quiet rooms. Food was very good - much better than previous Cuba trips. Lots of chairs by the pool and beach, so no mad scramble to reserve your place. Beach is gorgeous.

Melia Las Dunas: Difficult to classify

200 characters, so point form. Beach - beautiful, pools - very nice. First room had non-functional plumbing, toilet and shower didn't work, squished bugs on walls. Second room, semi-functional plumbing, oh 200 characters was the minimum! Okay so switched rooms given 7 days is a long time to go with no shower or toilet. Second room everything at least partially worked and they did bring around some water. Did end up with a case of Castro's revenge that ended up lasting a full week after I got bac [... read more]k (he must have kicked the bucket during the week). Good toilets are by the bar in the lobby, they actually seem to flush. It's about 50km to the nearest town (80ish CUC cab ride, or there are bus tours) so it is fairly isolated. Did have a very good time though.

Melia Marina Varadero: Pool and beach were good

We were a group of eleven. 3 of our rooms were entered at night when the occupants were in bed. One of the room was my daughter and 6 year old granddaughter which was not a pleasant experience. My granddaughter was awakened as well as her Mother at 11:45 P.M. Front desk reception area was not very helpful. Could not give us a reason how this could happen. One other room had an invasion of bugs. They were able to get another room, however not without threatening to go into the lobby and tell peop [... read more]le check their beds. Two out of 6 rooms booked were without issues.

Hotel Camino del Mar: Not what I expected!

Beach and water good as well as the entertainment, however the resort is 2-3 stars the most. It is not my first time in Cuba such I know what to expect but this vacation was not really a vacation. One a la carte restaurant even they posted 3. The 'Italian'? Was in renovation and they were still booking even when painting and strong odour of paint. The Buffet was open but was not clean. My friend got sick from the second day. Be careful to the sand fleas. I never had a problem until this time. A  [... read more]terrible skin rash with hives in the last 2-3 days destroyed even the last chance of vacation. Bring hydrocortisone cream with you, bug repelant. The skin problem last 2-3 weeks after returned from Cuba. Food was reused! I do not recommend it.

Melia Varadero: Very Good Trip

Great beachfront and pool. Great hospitality by staff members. Nightly entertainment was good. The food was excellent the only thing was we had a hard time making reservations for the restaurants- could have been the time of year (Christmas). Overall, happy with our stay!

Paradisus Varadero: Good Resort

accommodation, food, diving all better than expected for Cuba. friendly staff, service is faster for those who tip. Exchange is bad at the hotel bank (65 CUC for $100.00 Cdn) Don't waste your money on a fishing excursion (not many sport fish on Atlantic side) Good variety of seashells on beach for collectors

Tryp Cayo Coco: Perfect as always!

Came back Dec 11 and planning to go back to Tryp in February! It was my 5th time in Tryp! Service, food, beach and entertainment is outstanding! Are you looking for a crazy parties? Tryp is the place to go!!!!

Melia Marina Varadero: AMAZING RESORT; GREAT LOCATION!

The hotel had everything that we had hoped for & more! Staff, grounds, food all EXCEEDED expectations! Catamaran tours leave from marina at hotel. Day trips to Havana and Varadero were great! We will be back!!!
