Hotel was well laid out, food was good, buffet had lots of food, no running out,big variety of alcohol.Entertainment was fantastic. All facilities were clean and working well. People were very friendly.

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Great Time!

Overall great experience, you'll have a hard job finding a better resort in Cuba. Surprisingly good food, but fruit and vegetables were lacking the first couple days until an order arrived (still random shortages after that, no cola/no bacon). Royal service room was cleaned twice a day. No issues with towel/beach towels. Water in room everyday, beer and juice sometimes. Outside Shower was amazing, and lots of hot water. Main beach was better for swimming than Royal side, but Royal had better san [... read more]d with quiet atmosphere. Staff were mostly great, (and responded faster with $ in your hand). A lot of walking if you didn't want to wait for the shuttle which was unreliable at times. Infinity pool in royal side lobby has a stunning view. Recommend Royal side if you want a more relaxing vacation. Travelled solo and the single supplement was high ($500), which makes it overpriced but great value if travelling as a couple.

Melia Las Antillas: Nice resort

I have to start with saying that Cuba is going thru some hard times and unfortunately it shows. I have been to this resort many times in the past and I have to be honest, I have seen a decline in the place. It is in desperate need of an up date. The grounds are beautiful but the rooms need a lot of work. in the many times that we have been to this resort, this was a bit of a disappointment. Again, I have to reiterate that Cuba is falling on hard times so this is not in any way the fault of  [... read more]theirs. The people that work there are the most nicest safest people you will ever want to meet. For all that they are going thru you would never tell. They are still so very friendly, loving and safest to be around. Love the Cuban people

Melia Varadero: Nice resort

The hotel was very nice beautiful inside, our room we stayed in was really great also the maid we had for the week was phenomenal she was so kind and sweet always made something with the towels on our bed with fresh flowers (we stayed on level 4 beach view) the food is Cuban but there's always something for everybody pretty disappointed and not having the variety of fruit that we normally have or some of the fruit being less than ripe but still fine, we didn't find the pool to be kept very clea [... read more]n at all and not enough chlorine in the pool, the beach was very nice a bit rocky for our liking and not what we are used to for varadero beaches but still good! The staff are lovely.

Melia Internacional: Value/$ 10:10

It was our 2nd time in Varadero, Melia is so much better and surely 5* for Cuba. Despite 90% capacity booked, plenty space around and at the beach. Loud music till 23:00 but this was so at any resort I remember. Warm, nice staff

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Very nice resort.

Holguin is quite lovely. Had not been to the area before. We stayed in Royal Service which was very quiet, peaceful, and private. If you are choosing Cuba then you are accepting that limitations exist with products, food availability, etc. Lovely staff, kind service, and first stop for drop off from the airport. Love the outdoor shower with our room.

Melia Internacional: Great resort overall

Amazing beach, beautiful clean pools. Really nice staff Plenty of food just , not many options on drinks near beaches and pools but good beer and limited cocktails.water bottles replenished daily. Good entertainment overall .

Melia Las Dunas: Nature - great. Service, hotel could be better, much better

Overall impression of the hotel and service: 3.5/5. The ocean and nature truly make up for many of the downsides. The blanket provided for covering was dirty and had a strong smell, similar to a toilet odor. When I asked for it to be replaced, they brought another one that was even worse, with visible vomit stains. The towels were replaced only once, when I entered the room while the cleaning staff was there and personally asked the cleaner to change them. That was the only time the room  [... read more]was fully cleaned, and it had actually been cleaned before I arrived. All other times, only the bed linen was changed, and even that had stains. Overall, the room is spacious and generally fine, but cleanliness is a serious issue. The nature and the outside views are absolutely beautiful. The ocean is stunning. However, on the last morning we saw a shark very close to the shore. When we informed the staff who work as lifeguards, they pretended not to understand what we were saying and responded with words like “barracuda” or “dolphin.” It is possible they did not understand that “shark” in English means tiburón. After that incident, we did not swim anymore. The dining area was generally fine. The food was nothing exceptional, but it was okay for me. I came mainly to see the ocean and nature. There was one chef grilling meat, and when I asked him to add sauce (which was standing right next to the grill), he replied in an annoyed tone that the meat comes without sauce. I pointed out the sauce, and he simply hid it. That was unpleasant.

Paradisus Rio De Oro: very good choice

Taking in account situation in Cuba in my opinion it is the best option. I can not talk about food inthe buffet since we never use it. We booked the Royal Service for 11 days and it was money well spent. All meals we ate in a la carr, including breakfast lunch and 5 different restaurants. No complains whatsoever. There was no butter only margarine and no Cola in the resort, sometimes they were out of certain alcohol brands but manageable. The resort is beautiful and well managed the staff  [... read more]is very friendly. Again for Cuba, very good choice. They have very high number of returning customers, warning mature customers and the Royal Service side is very quiet.

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Beautiful resort!

This is a beautiful property, well maintained by hard-working staff. The pool was amazing. The room was large and comfortable. The buffet was repetitive but the food at the a la carte restaurants was quite good.

Melia Trinidad Peninsula: Great Resort

The resort itself was great with beautiful design and modern amenities service from the staff was also fantastic and consistent. Resort does lack entertainment and the dance shows do get old after a week

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Relaxing Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. The hotel rooms are somewhat dated but very adequate. We were not able to use the coffee make in our room as it required a specific pod that they were unable to obtain, however they supplied us with a kettle for our tea and coffee was readily available in many areas of the resort and room service is available if you wish. We have been to Cuba before and were aware that the Cuban people experience challenges obtaining good [... read more]s, food, parts etc., what they lack in supplies they more than make up for with their cheerful, helpful attitudes. The food was good, rather bland in some cases, but we had expected that and brought some spices and condiments that we knew we would want. We had hot water and electricity throughout our stay. The WIFI was excellent at the beginning of our stay however as the hotel filled up after Christmas we were not able to connect regularly in our room - but not a problem as we went to Cuba to relax. We stayed on the lower royal side near the beach entrance, the resort grounds are large so we did a lot of walking but again it was not a problem and was nice to take a stroll after dinner. The resort is clean, there are many washrooms around the resort. The marina across the street has a few nice shops and a coffee shop that makes fantastic cappuccinos! All in all it was a very good vacation and I would definitely return in the future.

Melia Las Americas: Great Resort

Just got back from my vacation. It was my first time back in Cuba for over 10 years. I like others have felt the food in Cuba was not very good and for that reason went to other destinations. Well I am glad I gave it another chance ! Not only was the food good bit the service was fantastic. Great location with golf and beach, wonderful staff that were very friendly. I will definitely be going back

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Average Resort

Tryp Cayo Coco: Resort Declining

I have been to this resort at least 5 or 6 times .This most recent visit was truly a disappointment. Many of the regular staff are now gone leaving many newer , younger staff members who in my opinion have missed the boat with providing great customer service and maybe going out of their way to smile .They stopped serving French fries at the 24 hour bar .No new growth in the choices of meals at the buffet and the entertainment is less then desirable. The rooms require some serious renovations an [... read more]d just basic maintenance. It seems to me they are open just to be open....unlike other visits to this resort.

Melia Cayo Coco: Wonderful restful resort

I did a female solo trip for the Christmas holidays. This is a lovely resort. I always felt safe. Clean, great staff, gorgeous beach you can walk for a long stretch. There was no shortage of food. Christmas special meals were lovely and everyone received a flower. Best of all was the peaceful relaxing feel you get while there. Many people I met had come for several years and the staff treat them like family. I would return any time.

Melia Internacional: Amazing

Room was very clean & spacious ala cartes were amazing,friendly,fast bar service..clean pool & beach areas,beautiful beach!,ice cream parlour & snack bars were great,location was great for walking downtown & lots of options for rides if u didn’t want to walk,private excursion to Havana was wonderful but pricey

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: We loved the resort!

We stayed from December 22 to Dec 29 and the resort is beautiful. That said, we stayed in the Royal section, where the amenities are elevated. Food was plentiful, staff are wonderful. There is an older section that I would steer clear of... it needs some work. The al a carte restaurants are good. On the Royal side, you are assigned a butler who will look after anything you need. It's Adults Only, so it's very laid back. Cuba is very economical, so I would suggest always a 5*, or 4.5* at t [... read more]he very least, and upgrade to Royal, Premium or whatever the resort calls it for upgraded room/amenities.

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Good Resort
