Carisol los Corales: Still a favorite

This was my third stay at carousel Corrales resort I was there two years ago in a Junior suite and requested the same great room everything works although water pressure could be a bit low at times! Weather was wonderful very windy which I liked :) snorkeling was good beach clean! some food seem to be in short supply the first week such as cheese and fruitBut it improved !the tienda was out of beer Juice vodka liquers water which was something new I didn’t use the pool but it looked clean À [... read more] la cart restaurant wonderful for fish as was the Palapas style lunch hut And both restaurants have great outdoor eating area’s with evening music groups coming into play during dinnerBike rental available but bikes in bad shape free Saturday bus to Santiago wonderful nearby villages to visit Plenty of dogs around plus mules and horses grazing on the lawn at carrisol Plenty of manure too :-)Lots of Canadians seniors Cubans on the weekend and some families With preschool or school-age kids

Brisas Sierra Mar: Worst Trip Ever

First the airline. Sunwing plays with Canadian luggage. Our flight they lost nine bags the longest mine six days with no bathing suit only one pair of shorts one t shirt and no sandals. Oh compensation they give you a Visa card with money on it but only at store in hotel and in town but since your name was not on it could not use. I am 6 ft 7 in 285 lbs,they had nothing I could buy and card expired in 8 days,and elite ,you paid extra for this and luggage was to be first off. I had so much stress [... read more] from all of this I had a heart attack. Next the resort needs lots of work to be done but they do not do it. When Cubans came on weekend they stole cutlery,salt and pepper shakers plates glasses it was endless. They would even pick up food out of buffet then put it back. The weekends suck there was slime on top of water in pool. So bad would not go in pool. Will NEVER fly sunwing again,very disappointed. Good deal not to good hotel.

Carisol los Corales: Didn’t happen !!!

I wish I was able to give a good review! After doing my online check in the night before we arrived at Toronto Airport at 6:30 am with boarding passes in hand believing 90 minutes was plenty of time to check bags for 8 am take off . The park and fly bus never came to get us for 45 minutes and we were turned away from our flight ✈️ never again will I book with tripcentral or sunwing

Brisas Los Galeones: Tranquil

This resort is worth the visit. Set on the top of a hill overlooking the town of Chivirico and the ocean. The views from any rooms are breathtaking. Goats will visit and drink from the pool on occasion. Food is exceptional!! Very clean resort. The staff will accommodate your needs,,,,,just have to ask. Take a flashlight with you and walk down the hill after dinner and visit the town of Chivirico.

Hotel Las Americas: Changes

I have stayed at this hotel many times. It is small and convenient as to places to eat, change money, find a cab. The accommodation is basic but always very clean. Breakfasts are good,though not extensive in variety. This time, the rooms were updated with new curtains and bedspreads. The reason I choose this hotel is that it is one of the few city hotels that has a pool, and is still reasonably close to the centre. However, both the pool area and the reception area were absolutely rammed with [... read more] local day visitors, meaning that other than one's own room, there was nowhere to relax and read in quiet. The pool area was overcrowded, very noisy with drunken visitors and screeching children. The Melia, across the road , offers a beautiful pool where one can go instead, CUC 18 including your lunch, if you wish. But double the price to stay there. I was there during New Year week, (school holidays) so possibly at other times this would not be such a problem.

Brisas Sierra Mar: Relaxing Resort

Nice resort beautiful scenery and very relaxing the staff we're very friendly and very helpful , the rooms were a little bit outdated but work out ok. The service and the food was amazing overall I give it a four out of five would definitely recommend the Resort

Carisol los Corales: UPGRADS AND REPAIRS IN ACUTE NEED

This was my second visit to this property since 7 years ago. The buildings are old and in disrepair. The roofs are leaking in many places. I guess nobody repaired them since the hurricane Sandy a few years ago. If you'll need repairs, be persistent but polite. It will take some time, though. The lagune at the entrance of the hotel is very dirty with garbage floating on the top. Really an eye sore for the hotel. I noticed it first as arrived to te hotel. The food is quite good and tasty; good p [... read more]resentation, the buffet well stocked and replenished frequently with small portions. I would give the chef and the lady in charge for food service a credit. Really well organized. Good food control. The gym is dysfunctional. The machines are disconnected most of the time and to find the stuff to reconnect them is a hassle. Coffee at the 24.hour bar is excellent and the stuff supper. We had some problems with the water, mainly the pumps broke down and the spare part was hard to come by. There are no phones in the rooms. The bottle of water in the store cost 65c CUC. This is the chipest price I payed anywhere in Cuba. On the 24 of Dec., there was dinner fiest the grande. It was really fantastic. The stuff is pleasant and accommodating. I might return to this place sometime in the future.

Brisas Los Galeones: Tranquility at is best.

This hotel provided a picturesque view of the ocean and town of Chivirico. Pool is extremely well kept and sparkling clean. The food was the best surprise!! It was like having your own personal chef at each meal. Staff are exceptional. Would book this resort over and over again.

Carisol los Corales: It has potential

Beautiful hotel grounds. Very clean with a pleasant atmosphere. This is my second time at this resort which I was looking forward to the same great experience I previously had with my partner. However, I was disappointed with the everyday same food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for seven days. The staff was great. We got a great room with a huge balcony overseeing the Caribbean Sea.

Carisol los Corales: Corales resort in Santiago de Cuba amazing!!!

Great people, warm, attentive and responsive. Weather was perfect and snorkeling was fantastic! Someone wrote on a previous review that los corales was like a mini- Jibacoa and they were right! We went with our elderly parents and they enjoyed themselves as the beach is clean and the waves gentle enough to allow for them to get in the water and look at the fish right off the beach just a few feet into the water! 🧜🏻‍♀️🤙

Hotel Las Americas: Below average

Below average hotel in a good location, 3 out of 7 days they didn’t have beer in the outside bar , everyone in hotel would ask you to give them your cellphone, shoes hat , and if you say no they will be rude to you for rest of your stay, is better to stay in private home so the staffs will stop hustling you!

Brisas Sierra Mar: great value for the money

good food ,good entertainment, great staff from the managers to the cleaning staff. beautiful scenery. great for a reasonable price get way, you could spend more money but it has everything you need sun, sand, good food and great staff.

Carisol los Corales: Nice quiet relaxing resort

Rooms are clean and showers worked great. Grounds are clean and well maintained. Food was good only complaint was no jam for toast in morning and no bacon all week. Dogs are loose on resort but so well behaved you really dont know they are there. They were a nice touch. Shows were ok only saw a couple as they start at 930 and usually going to bed as I'm an early riser. Drinks are basic at this time of year as they are shutting down for season but service was excellent and everyone so kind. [... read more] This is our 2nd time at this resort and for quiet and relaxation one of the best places.

Carisol los Corales: Great trip

I’ve been to this resort before but it has been a while. The place is still very nice. The beach is gorgeous and the view of the mountains doesn’t get better. And getting a $10 CUC massage on the beach is so worth it. It’s a relatively small resort which I appreciate. The only downfall is the food. But it’s Cuba. I don’t go expecting to eat like a king.

Brisas Sierra Mar: Rest and Relaxation

This was my first time to this resort. The resort itself is very outdated and the rooms need an upgrade but they work with what they have and my room was clean and tidy. The first room we were given had no shelving in the bathroom, no blankets, rotten food in the fridge and the safe was ripped out of the wall. I was moved to a new room the next day with no problems. The hotel clerks were very helpful. The overall experience of all the staff and servers was wonderful. Everyone is very nice a [... read more]nd they try to make you feel welcome. I have been to other resorts in Cuba and I found the food at this resort much better. The pool is cleaned everyday. I stayed away from the beach area due to the sand fleas and seeing all the hurt dogs and cats broke my heart. I went to this resort for some relaxation in the sun and that's exactly what I got! The views at this resort are amazing.

Brisas Sierra Mar: Awesome resort

Nice rooms.Very clean resort.Staff very friendly staff.I would say mostly older couples.Beach was grey sand also very small not a great beach for long walks.Lobby bar had excellent musical entertainment.

Hotel Las Americas: Friendly Staff

People were absolutely marvelous. Breakfast was superb. Evening meals very good. Grounds well kept. Too bad the pool was not in operation as would have been great we think. Room was clean, quiet and reasonable size.

Brisas Los Galeones: Relaxing resort, peaceful setting

Friendly staff, tasty freshly made food even though repetitive Clean rooms, bed mats not very comfortable, loud air-conditioning Nice views from the whole resort, possibility to see domestic animals, perfect for people who like small hotels with a family like feel Nice sandy beach with trees, chairs, swimming and snorkeling 300 steps to the beach Live music everyou night Not for people who like disco, loud crowds and parties

Carisol los Corales: nice and relaxing

My family has been many times to cuba and have never been dissapointed. This vacation was no exception. For an older resort (charming one), the grounds were always impeccable and clean. The staff is awesome....polite, helpfull, and just plain nice. As with all resorts in cuba, the food was fine. Although this buffet was smaller then most, it was surprisingly tasty. I actually enjoyed dishes that i don't normally eat, so the quality impressed me. The rooms are large and are very clean. Beds were [... read more] surprisingly comfortable, and sleep was never an issue. Beaches....well, your in cuba...so enough said. Excursion are great...as this is a very mountainous area, some excursions allow you a private meal at the top of a mountain and sleep over in a hut....breathtaking Everything functioned...i.e. hot water, fridge, air con...ect.. I would return in a heartbeat, just like the rest of cuba If you have never been to cuba, keep your expectations in check, and you will never be disappointed.

Carisol los Corales: You get what you paid fir

We recently stayed at this resort and it was “ok”. While the rooms were clean and the staff was good. The resort overall was run down and the food selection was horrible. We all ended up on Imodium on day 3 for the remainder of our stay. The so called Al la carts restaurant was basically non existent. Holus Sun Tours flies into Holguín which means a 3.5 hour transfer to resort. On the way home the pick was way to early and we arrived at the airport 4 hours prior to departure which was too  [... read more]early to even check our bags
