Gran Muthu Almirante Beach Resort: Great Resort

Nice beach, not very big but it's a great beach for walking no shells. People working here are super friendly always have a smile on there face. Food at the buffet is great always have different options to choose from.

Sanctuary at Grand Memories Holguin: Mixed impressions and feelings

Sanctuary is just a part inside of the "Grand Memories" So, it is not 18+ only. It looks like the management does not know the meaning of the word “sanctuary”. Definitely it is not a sanctuary of any kind. With the overall friendly and hard working personnel it has to be pointed that the hotel is seriously understaffed. It is lacking the style and the class for the claimed stars of rating. It is definitely new and clean, but the space and attendance is not properly managed: sport b [... read more]ar was turned into some cloaca with the darkness and strobe lights, with the modern dance music beating so that you cannot stand it until drunk up to semiconscious. As a result it had those semiconscious patrons around. Unfortunately billiard tables were there and no access and use were possible. The only one table tennis was in the game room, which was not conditioned. The lobby bar and the hall in the evening/night were turned into some disco with the music so loud that you cannot hear a conversation not only in the lobby, but also in the sanctuary bar behind the glass walls and doors. There is no theater for evening entertainment. There is some sort of conference room though. Some of those semiconscious patrons half dressed were wandering around and in the sanctuary bar dressed as if it is a beach or pool party and at the same moment harassing some other people who were not in such inadequate state. No security was managing anything anything anywhere. All this left an impression of some kind of a cheap bordello, rather than a sanctuary. Not to negate hardworking of the hotel personnel, it has to be pointed that some upper level style appropriate for the word “sanctuary” and 4+ stars must be instated. Hope that this is just the beginning of the use of this new facility and the management will find the way forward to correspond to the name and rating claimed. Otherwise, I would rather pay a double price for some other, better sanctuary than to visit this "sanctuary" again. P.S. Economical challenges of Cuba and resulting shortages are obvious and not mentioned here

Aston Costa Verde Beach Resort: Great Resort

very huge resort.. first couple of days took some time to get used to where everything is.. lot of walking.. great rooms.. nice beach and awesome pools. the staff was wonderful and very helpful... I will return

Playa Costa Verde: Great resort and staff. Sunwing needs to improve

The hotel and staff were amazing. They always give you the best food that is available with the current sanctions exposed by the American government there is some shortages. Having said that i didn't lose any weight, The Sunwing experience was terrible im surprised that they are still in business. We paid for carry-on but we had no place near our seat to stow our paid forcarry-on. The rep from sunwing left my handicapped friend standard at the hotel on the return flight. She blamed him be [... read more]cause he was too slow no help was offered. Shame on sunning and Cuba for employing such a cave person .

Iberostar Coral Holguin: Fantastic relaxing place

Staff are excellent amenities are great always lots to eat some shortages but there is still an excellent variety of food great alacarte restaurants bartenders are great especially the pool bar. Rooms are very spacious and well appointed

Playa Costa Verde: Vacation at Playa Costa Verde Holguin Cuba

My wife and I spent a week at Playa Costa Verde. It was an hour’s drive to the hotel from the airport but it was nice to see the scenery. The resort was beautiful especially the reception area with the long Pothos plants hanging from ceiling about 50 feet in length. The room was great, close to the pool and the beach. The food was okay but could use some variety. I guess it could be because of the current shortages. The staff were super friendly and bilingual if you are not fluent in Spanish [... read more]. There were excursions available if you wanted to venture off the resort or do your own thing. It was a great week.

Playa Pesquero: One of my favourite resorts

I enjoyed the friendly and helpful staff. I enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and of course the beach— amazing. There was some lack in the buffet but there was still fresh fish and meat and more food than l could eat. Since Covid things have changed all over the world. Imagine what it would be like if countries could adopt the second greatest commandment and apply it in their dealings with one another….” You must love your neighbour as yourself”

Sol Rio de Luna y Mares: Well managed resort

In the past, we had stayed at the Hotel Paradisus, but due to hurricanes that hotel’s beach is almost nonexistent, it is full of coral; but since we love Playa Esmeralda we decided to try out Sol Luna Mares since the latter had been renovated. We were pleasantly surprised. The grounds were beautiful, the beach was stunning as expected. We had reserved a room with ocean-view and to our great surprise, our room had cathedral ceilings! Service was impeccable, entertainment was amusing, although  [... read more]it does become very noisy if you want to sit in your balcony We are coffee drinkers and were very pleased to see a coffee counter in the lobby which was open 24 hours a day. I had cappuccino’s to my heart’s content. I have to mention how clean all the public bathrooms were. At the beach, the lady whose name I believe was Ymilce, cleaned the bathroom after each person who entered. Amazing! The only thing we were disappointed with was the food. Yes, yes, this is Cuba and the situation is really bad, but I think if they just offered a little more vegetables instead of canned mushrooms, canned beets and canned carrots, it would be an amazing improvement. The only fresh vegetables they had were cucumbers, oh also pumpkin. If you like, french fries, hamburger, hot dogs, sweet potatoes, pizza, pasta, pancakes, cakes, doughnuts, then you will be happy with the selection. They also had a very good selection of fresh fish, chicken, porc, and even steak and delicious pineapple and papaya. I hope that in future, the hotel will be able to add fresh vegetables, real eggs for omelettes instead of powdered eggs, cold cuts and maybe a better variety of cheese. If they make these changes, this hotel will easily become a 5 star hotel. In the meantime, we definitely intend to return to this hotel, since it is beautiful and well managed. Not to mention, the amazing employees which make this place even more special. In the meantime, gracias to the management, a job well done.

Sol Rio de Luna y Mares: Beautiful Resort

Very spacious and clean. Pool looks clean and neat. Beach area looks nice and tidy. Snack bar opens 24/7 with tasty burgers and hotdogs. Lots of drinks. Wi-Fi available throughout the resort. Cleaning ladies are always on time

Playa Pesquero: They made a returning client

This resort was recommended to me by a family member. I was assured that I would love the resort, and they were not wrong. I went to another resort earlier in the year and the experience was night and day. The staff is extremely friendly, respectful and knowledgeable. My girlfriend who is vegetarian was worried about the food selection at thr resort but they were extremely accommodating in fulfilling her dietary needs at all the reservation restaurants and made the experience even better. The be [... read more]ach is incredible with white sand throughout with an option for great snorkeling. The nightly entertainment was lacking but still great with the circumstances that arose after covid. I will be returning here and will only be going to this resort for now on. It's worth it to spend the extra money to turn your trip from a good trip to a great trip and go to this resort.

Brisas Guardalavaca: Very convenient

50 meters lobby to pull, 100 meters lobby to beach. Good staff. Average food selection. 30% of guests are local guys, the rest are Canadians. Sandy beach protected from waves by two rows of reefs, even during a storm I could swim in the sea.

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Very Good Resort

Lovely resort, nice rooms, great staff and management. Front desk staff very accomodating. Very few shortages for Cuba. Beach a bit difficult for swimming but still nice. Grounds very pretty and well maintained. My third time there and will return.

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Great Holiday!

Well kept hotel with wonderful friendly staff. Food for Cuba was well executed considering the difficulties there. We did not miss any meals!!!You have a bit of a drive from the airport, just under one hour but it was a comfortable bus and a chance to view the countryside. The rooms were clean and had updated bathrooms . Reliable Wifi available in the rooms .Beach was clean and private but water had a lot of coral but great for snorkeling . Overall exceeded our expectations

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Far from 5-Star

Grounds could be maintained much better .Rooms luxurious but many small things required repair , door handles etc. No alarm clock or USB ports for phone charging. Food was terrible, not much selection or variety. Staff not adequately trained in allergens, like gluten-free requirements. Having a gluten allergy, I was frequently brought meals that had wheat products despite being reassured prior to ordering that it would be prepared gluten free. We had the Royal Service package , but services was  [... read more]far from Royal . Beaches and pools were beautiful and bartenders were welcoming and served well , drink selection was limited and bar staff had limited ability to make many drinks. Overall I would not recommend

Iberostar Coral Holguin: Great resort

The resort was very clean, the rooms very really nice, fairly new. the food was excellent.. choices were great as well.. the only thing the beach was about far from the resort. Otherwise it was of been perfect .. Pool was great..Drinks .. wide variety ..Staff was very friendly..

Brisas Guardalavaca: Brisas guardalavaca

This is my 6 time at La Brisas. every time I go I like it more and more. Yes they lack food and beverages at times but times are tough. I will continue to return to this resort. As single ladies we feel so safe as there is security always around. If you leave the resort go at your own risk. Beaches are so beautiful pools are clean. Staff is wonderful. Thanks to all the managers for your extended help. See you soon. Travel agent Tammy is awesome but remind me to never fly Sunwing again.

Playa Pesquero: This hotel is lives up to its 3 stars.

Nadejda,Valeri. We were on the otel Playa Pesquero for the second time this year: in April and October. Thanks to everyone from the reception of the area to the gardeners. The people work great. Beautiful beach, wonderful ocean. One thing was upsetting: the food was 10 times worse than in April. There was no fresh food vegetables and fruits / except papaya /, everything is pickled. The food is not 4 stars, but 2 stars. I like the hotel itself, but I’m not sure that I’ll want to come again.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Very nice resort for the price

Our stay there for two weeks was excellent! The landscaping (a lots of trees and green gras), beach, and restaurants are very close to the beach, also pull bar. Food had variety and very good for the 3 star I ate ice-cream 2 times a day and did not lose any weight instead gain some People are very friendly, . Alcohol beside Cuban Rum and bear, whisky, gin, votka, Napoleon brandy etc. Cuba is a country with sanction for more than 50 years, now is fuel problem! Pepi & Persa

Playa Pesquero: Beautiful resort

Smooth check in, wonderful and helpful staff, amazing beach and pool, considering the time of year the weather was wonderful and lots of food options at the buffet and restaurants. So much to see and do in 7 days, rooms were clean and spacious. Would go back again.

Aston Costa Verde Beach Resort: Lots of fun

My friends and I had a terrific time. The place was clean and comfortable. The staff were outstanding! They were always happy to help out, serve you, chat, whatever....The beach was beautiful, especially when we would go for a walk before breakfast.
