Dreams Sapphire Resort and Spa: Wonderfully Relaxing!!!

I really can't find a fault with this resort other than the strong arm time share attack 10 minutes after arriving at the resort.. Loved the proximity to the airport.. The rooms were quite large.. The resort is set up perfectly. Restaurants and pool area on one side...sleeping on the other side.. food is delicious enjoyed the grille for lunch and we managed to try all the restaurants and loved them all.. We would not hesitate to recommend!! You won't be disappointed!!

Melia Cayo Coco: Sunfilled getaway at Melia Cayo Coco

I was at Melia Cayo Coco nov 8 th for one week. I was with 5 others. The Melia is a clean, friendly resort. The Melia has excellent amenities such as a beach bar, daily activities at the beach and pool and a well equipped sports centre. If relaxation is more your stle, the beach is small but beautiful. The pool is very appealing and has plenty of lounge chairs. We were not sure what to expect from the lagoon rooms we booked, which are an upgrade. The lagoon rooms are excellent. The patios overlo [... read more]ok the gorgeous lagoon and provide an open airy feeling in the room. There is a slight sea smell when walking towards the room, but there is no smell in the rooms or overthe lagoon. Finally, I would be remiss if I didnt mention the food. The buffet was excellent and comparable to any buffet restaurant in North America. Wide range of seafood plus fresh cook stations for made to order breakfasts and dinners. I am vegetarian and alwys had fresh, diverse food choices. I would recommend the Melia, the staff are genuinely friendly, funny and go out of their way to help the vacationers enjoy their holiday. I would definitely return to this resort which offers excellent value for the money.

Paradisus Varadero: Good resort - better with royal service

Food at the Royal Service exclusive restaurant was a lot better than the rest. Highly recommend paying a bit more for the royal service. In general the service is very nice everywhere. The main lounge was usually very packed at night during my stay. Depending if you are a social person, you may like/dislike it. There are quieter (but smaller) lounge in the royal service area as well. The beach and pool was nice and clean.

Melia Cayo Coco: Great adult only resort

Lovely mature resort. The live band every night in the lobby was fantastic. Rooms were nice and clean and lots of food to choose from in the buffet each day. The pool is well kept and there are lots of loungers to choose from in the sun or shade of palapa's.

Melia Las Americas: Fun resort!

Great area! Beach & ocean were beautiful. The beach entertainment was very fun. Bartenders and cleaners were very nice. I would definitely return to this resort. The golf course was amazing. Well taken care of and a beautiful site.

Melia Varadero: Not so great

This hotel is older and was in the middle of renovations on the top floor. We spent the week listening to saws drilling and hammering. We were very disappointed with the cleaninest of the hotel in general. The lack of English speaking staff and comprehension of the English language was a huge barrier. The food variety was poor we ate the same things for lunch and dinner at the buffet for a week. The staff in the kids programs were wonderful.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Great quiet resort

Resort was nice and developed. Needs some updating. The staff was great, specially Indeera in the buffet restaurant, great server. I would go back to the resort again. Kids had fun (3 and 6yrs). The resort make sure to accommodate my oldest peanut allergy concerns, which was nice.

Melia Las Dunas: Worth It!

Was definitely worth what we paid. Grounds are well kept, food is okay (we didn't starve) rooms were clean, people were friendly. The beach is narrow for walking and laying on but water and sand is beautiful!

Hotel Camino del Mar: a week in the sun!

we could not have ordered better weather than what we had the week of Oct 15th! The resort is small and needs a little bit of a face lift but the staff as always were amazing and we met some lovely people during our 1 week vacation. The food was ok - the buffet seemed to be more popular that the al la carte's. All Inclusive but you have to buy certain wines and beer but the price wasnt too costly. We ordered a few bottles of wine during the week and sipped several corona (1 CUC each) during the  [... read more]week. The biggest problem was my husband and many others were covered with bites that they could not stop scratching!!! A trip to Pilar beach was only a 5 cuc bus ride away and well worth it - Pilar beach was beautiful and we spent a day there relaxing in the sun on the white sand beach. You also have the option of getting day passes to check out other Melia resorts - we didnt do this but some couple we talked to did and raved about the Melia Cayo Coco!!

Melia Cayo Santa Maria: One of Cuba's finest!

Fifty one of us attended a wedding here. They set us up in our own hall for the reception which was above and beyond the package paid for. The staff became part of our family during our stay. Excellent!

Melia Las Dunas: Amazing resort

Melia Las Dunas is an amazing resort. There you will find beaches like in your dreams, very helpfull people and a lot of activities all day/night long. Family area was seperated, therefore even for younger people a very comfortable stay!

Sol Palmeras: Fantastic resort!!

The grounds were immaculate & so well cared for. . The rooms very clean, spacious & food was excellent ` a very good variety. ! The staff were very friendly & attentive to our needs. I would definitely go there again.

Melia Las Dunas: Perfect holiday!

This resort was amazing from morning to night! It had three large buffet restaurants,even one at the beach! and many a la carte restaurants. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The large lobby is like the hub of the resort with bars and a theatre and multiple lounge areas for people to get together. Great shopping at the resort and nearby. ALWAYS something to do:dancing,water sports, shows, shopping, not to mention a beautiful beach. Rooms were clean and comfortable.Great shows and beach!!!

Melia Nassau Beach Resort: Beautiful Peaceful Resort

The only thing that we found very was the walk to the elevators every day sometimes multiple times per day depending on your room location especially for that of the senior crowd. I must admit that the renovations did encroach on our holiday stay. The food could have been more localized, we found it to be very basic American but there was no shortage. When we first checked in at the Melia, the service was poor - when I first booked the trip months in advance, I had requested rooms side by side f [... read more]or my daughter and myself. I had then subsequently made two calls to the hotel itself to ensure that this was possible - the first time they told me that they did not have my booking as it was to early, the second time there was no answer and although I left a message - no one returned my call. In the end upon our arrival, they said that the only available rooms on the same floor was on the first. When we went down it felt like a basement and not like a hotel room. We went back up and asked for different rooms on the same floor again and they could not accommodate us. In the end my daughter ended up on the 4th floor and I on the 6th. I am sure you could imagine the problem this posed for us. It bothered me that this was not a last minute request - I had asked for this accommodation upon booking and tried a number of times to make this possible. The restaurant and eating areas - the staff there were absolutely amazing people, they catered to our every need, and provided that extra personal touch. This in many ways out weighed the other inconveniences within the hotel. In the end all we remembered was the impact these particular individuals made on our stay. Security - The Melia made us feel very safe, every where you looked was someone working there looking out for you. This was very important to me as I was on vacation with my friend and my daughter and her two friends. I felt safe enough to leave them hanging out at night. Rooms - very clean, staff - very polite, no wi fi I found that the Melia in the Bahamas catered to an older crowd, there was not much to do for young people, and they found themselves just hanging around during the evening on their cell phones or computers 9not my idea of a vacation). For our first time in the Bahamas, as everyone would do, we found it best to stay on the resort during the evening. Casino - was empty We did visit the Atlantis and I must say in all honesty that the Melia has some very serious competition. Their casino was packed, there was a teen night club, the aquarium....etc. It was a disappointment that we had to leave our resort to see another. Are all the Melia hotels the same?. I am not sure if I would take another chance in finding out. The three star rating is in relation to the security, waiting staff and how clean the hotel was kept.

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Quite, peacefull and great snorkling!

Lovely time! The staff was amazing, room was bright, airy and clean. The food was ok for cuba. The hotel was beautiful. The staff gets you involved in activities. All in all a great vacation. I would go back again! We meet an older couple who had been to Cuba 85 times. This was one of their favorite resorts.

Melia Marina Varadero: Great stay!

Beautiful hotel, lovely people, okay buffet and delicious a la carte. I would definitely go back again. Cuba is a wonderful country to visit. Varadero feels very safe, even at night. Definitely the perfect hotel for a relaxing vacation.

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Nice resort

The hotel was very nice and the beach is great. The food, however, is lousy and cold at the buffet. They very seldom give you ice water or a cold bottle of water. The mini bar contains beer and 2 Cuban pop only. The coffee makes in the rooms rarely work. Some of the workers are very nice but most of them don't give you the time of day. The entertainment is basically the same every night. If it rains, there is absolutely nothing to do at this resort. The laundry (sheets, blankets etc) have a stal [... read more]e smell to them. They do not supply face cloths unless you bug them for them.

Melia Las Dunas: truly relaxing!

Upon arrival the foyer is breathtaking. It is quite large and ironically we only saw folks in their golden years walking around. The beach, pool and grounds are well maintained and the workers are polite and attentive. The beer garden opens up a grill section for lunch. ..... fantastic!

Melia Las Antillas: Resort Value for Price

Grounds very pleasant and kept in good condition. The food was better than we expected from reading previous reviews but then we love seafood. Management need system to stop beach goers from claiming more than one lounger per person.

Tryp Cayo Coco: Location Location Location

Tryp Cayo Coco is in a great location. When they say 15 minutes from the airport it really is accurate. Resort is right on the beach and the pool is steps from the beach. Spending whole days in the sun by the pool with short trips to the beach was very restful. Big shout out to the operators of the Catamaran as they were pleasant, helpful and very quick to assist when someone is in difficulty. This day trip should not be missed. Huge shout out to Cecilia for her pool aerobics at Tryp which kept  [... read more]me moving throughout the week. The resort dance which is done daily at the pool is very fun. Another Huge shout out to Fis from the breakfast buffet. Fis made our daily omelets tasty and served them with flair and a huge smile. Food at the buffet was really good. The lobster dinner was not to be missed. I was disappointed with the a-la-carte's as well as the offering from the grill and the beach restaurant. Service at the bars was stellar. The gents who ran the swim up bar never tired and were full of smiles, chat and great and fast service. Main bar just lovely. The people there were willing to try to make you something special just for you. I was severely disappointed with the quality of the rooms. To say they were shabby was putting it mildly. There were extensive renovations going on while we were there. Apparently we were in the non renovated section. We had to change rooms after our first night as the room was either so heavily smoke in that the smell was permanently in the room or it was mold. We both had trouble breathing after the first night. We got a room in the same building, second floor, nice view, better smelling, just as shabby. Showers/bathrooms are in big need of repair/renovation. I have rated the service as only fair. This should not reflect on the bar/restaurant/beach or pool staff. My issue was with the front desk who were not friendly, happy and willing to try to assist us with having our room changed. I really had to push them hard and they had absolutely no sympathy for the fact that my boyfriend has asthma and had trouble breathing in the room we were assigned. It should also be noted that there are signs all around the pool that this is a no smoking zone. This was largely ignored by the patrons much to the dismay of us non smokers. More should have been done to ensure that non smokers rights to a smoke free vacation are taken into consideration. There should have been non-smoking rooms available and there should have been areas where smokers could congregate away from the non-smokers. We had a good time, however, this is more to do with us being able to make lemonade with lemons than anything else. We will not be recommending until at least the renovations are complete.
