Playa Cayo Santa Maria: Amazing view of the beach!!

Our very first family trip with our girls and it was amazing we all enjoyed the hotel and the friendly staff. Cuba is well known for their beaches and no disappointment there! It was an amazing family trip that we will cherish forever.

Melia Jardines del Rey: Objective review

This is my 3rd time at this resort and this time we stayed 2 weeks. It is a nice resort but some maintenance is starting to show that is required to maintain the resort rating. The grounds are well maintain. The beach is nice but lack of chairs is becoming an issue. Availability will increase after lunch. Towels availability was fine. Rooms are ok but will need some updates soon as in my case, some stains in wall, couch, covers, were showing. I will recommend the lobster lunch at the Ra [... read more]nch buffet near the beach ($20) they will set up a table for you and include a bottle of sparkling wine and you can select a bottle of wine for around $7. Talk to Eloy (captain) and Elizabetha for an excellent service and great job done by the chef aka as The Mexican. We did it twice. The service provided by Judith and Brandys in the main lobby was excellent. Service en general was great in all areas. Food was good and they keep it coming. The only negative opinion is for the restaurants, menu wasn't the greatest and why trying to make look by 5 * ended up not having the dishes in the menu and portions were so small we ended up going to the buffet for desert or some more food. Be aware of mosquitoes ( they told me they are not mosquitoes but sand flies,which never saw them). They didn't bother us in previous visit but this time they were in abundance. Good time and good weather.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Fantastic time with the family

We really enjoyed our stay at the resort :) the kids(adults) water slides kept us all busy. My daughter 6 years old spent some time at the kids club since they had plenty of activities for example, outings to the ocean, practice for evening play ( they dressed up as animals for the Lion King to join the entertainers on stage) I would definitely return in the future!

Melia Las Americas: Great resort,fun,sand and golf

All staff very kind and friendly. Totally recommend this place. Food was also great. We had 7 ala cart restaurant settings during our 10 day stay, with the availability to do beach BBQ for lunch and full buffets for breakfast. This was our 3rd trip and plan to go again.

Club Karey: Lackluster, you can find better

My girlfriend and I have previously been at a 4 star resort, and wanted to experience the quality of a lower star to see if it's worth it. We like to believe we have low standards, but this resort definitely let us down. Pros: -Good location from downtown -Food was fine considering it's Cuba Cons: -Took 5 days and 3 requests before finally getting our room cleaned -No pillow cases, and dried blood on both pillows -Toilet paper was extremely limited all throughout the resort (bring you [... read more]r own) -A la cart reservations are made at 10 am, we were told for 2 days that they were fully booked, yet there was only one other person waiting to reserve. We asked to reserve in advance then and were told you have to reserve 10 am the day of...clearly they only booked people who bribed them to book in advance. That is unacceptable. Needless to say, we never got to try the a la cart and just ate in town instead. -Alcohol options are extremely limited: beer, vodka, rum, and sometimes whiskey or liqueurs. Do not expect much for mixed drinks. No mojitos, and sometimes pina coladas if you're lucky -The beach here is alright, but is mostly sea shells. Not one of the white sandy beaches -Nice pool chairs, but extremely few chairs available on the beach -No entertainment other than poolside DJ, bingo, and sometimes live music Overall we understand it is a 2.5 star, but quite disatisfied even with that rating. I don't think I will ever go below 3.5 star again. I don't blame people for wanting to check it out themselves, but if you do want to gamble, bring toilet paper, pillow cases, and lower your expectations more than you already do for Cuba. Good luck!

Grand Memories Varadero: Great Resort

The beach was amazing, the grounds were well kept and the buildings were all getting a facelift when we were there. Rooms were just basic but nothing wrong with them. The food was good for Cuba. Overall a great trip.

Hotel Roc Casa del Mar: Amazing resort!!!!

We had an amazing, relaxing stay at Ocean casa del mar. The staff were very friendly, the food was great and the atmosphere was wonderful! We can honestly say that we were a bit sad leaving to go back home. We will definitely be returning in the near future!

Royalton Hicacos Resort and Spa: Great time !

The resort is in the midst of great renovations and will be amazing once finished However that did not effect our holiday at all The resort has a great layout , everything I reach Butlers were amazing especially Illiana Felix a waiter in the buffet went out of his way to ensure mealtimes we enjoyable Great holiday ! Would return to this resort

Playa Vista Azul: Relaxing vacation with family

amazing trip! I travelled to varadero with my 13 year old son and wife. We did Havana premium trip(all day)$90USD adult, $72 child with lunch snack and dinner,. just so worth while. I don't usually do reviews but i read them and they are important. We stayed at Ocean Vista Azul, block 7 it's not a 5 star hotel that you are accustomed to in Canada,Vegas or anywhere else, but it's clean and modern hotel, our room had huge walk-in shower, soap bars and shampoo, mini fridge was re-stocked with soft [... read more] drinks, beer and battle water, TV offer some english channel choices. I'm a huge fan of the ocean and beach in Cuba, but Caya Coco has much nicer sand. Food- the buffet - we did for 6 days, there's a lot of food: pork, fish, chicken, lamb, seafood. there was even langoste and lobster tails, don't recommend beef- could be very tough to bite-on. Getting into a la carte restaurant (limoncello italian) was not worth it, huge lineup and in my opinion not much better than the pasta in the buffet, very small portions tip your housekeeper, she's the one who keeps your room clean your beach towel- no, you might not get another one for the week, but it's okay, it's cuba. have an open mind, and you will have fun, remember, you came to cuba for only one thing, THE BEACH. This hotel has one smaller beach to the left and main beach 5-10 min walk with activities to the right. enjoy.

Hotel Mojito: Beautiful resort

My sister and I just returned from the resort Feb 13. It was beautiful. Both of us have been to Cuba many times. We cannot say enough about the staff. Chicio(Alexander) at the lobby bar remembered what we liked after one day. The grill guys were marvelous. Tasty omelets and grilled fish. And the pasta bar always great. This was the first Cuban resort that had creme caramel as dessert. My favorite thing was not having to race for chairs at either the beach or the pools. BTW there was an adult o [... read more]nly pool. I was sorry for the staff that they seemed lightly booked but we loved it. The "superior" rooms were well stocked with amenities drinks and beach towels. Look for the churo cart by pool restaurant in the afternoon.

Melia Cayo Coco: Overall good resort

Beach was amazing even with the wind. One dislike was the “reserving” of beds and chairs by the pool. Food in the buffet was plentiful and good; however, the al a cartel could have been better especially the beach bar al a carte. Vegetarian items at the al a cartes were not well noted even though there was apparently a vegetarian menu. When the vegetarian menu was requested, none of the restaurants knew about it.

Melia Cayo Santa Maria: Relaxing resort

Amazing beach , grounds well kept . Friendly staff , always willing to help . This resort is getting a little old and some rooms need attention . Good variety of food at the buffet . Lacking real fruit juice , compare to last year . Very pleasant stay overall .

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Beautiful Resort

Amazing resort had lots of fun with my wife, Staff was great and food was very good. Resort was very close to the beach and close to downtown varadero and the entertainment was perfect, will be recommending this hotel to my friends an family

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Amazing beach and friendly staff

We booked this resort partly because so many people had great things to say about it. I was impressed right off the bat. Jessica at the front desk was so friendly and actually asked if my bracelet was good or if I wanted it changed. This was a first, they usually just stick it on and cut off my circulation. They spoke really good English too. We had no hot water for the first couple of days so o went to tell them and they were really accommodating and changed our room. We moved and all was well [... read more], they even called to check on us later. The staff everywhere is friendly, from maids to bartenders. The best bartender in the resort is at the beach bar "La Marina" named Einer. The food is good, we always had something to pick from and it didn't seem that they ran out of anything.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Iborestar Playa Alameda

The resort overall was very nice. Not crowded in the bars or buffet. It was clean and had some nice ammenities. The rooms were quite bad. When we arrived the pillow had mold on it and we did not get the king sized bed we had requested. The sheets were so moist it felt like I was sleeping in a wet bed. The repairs were very poorly done in a lot of places and kind of ruined the atmosphere in some places. However, the food was very good. Huge selection of different foods and it mostly gets cooked i [... read more]n front of you. The restaurants were very nice as well.

Melia Las Dunas: Good for the price.

Lack of soft drinks in rooms and rooms need to be checked before guest arrival. Sink drain plugged solid, tv remote didn’t work and hairdryer didn’t work. Only thing fixed was drain. Service in the buffet was excellent and food was good. Was our fifth time at this resort and they had very little live music compared to past.

Muthu Colonial Hotel: Worst experience ever

Very poor service They served the same food every day for the whole week(reheated every time), food was never fresh, plenty of flies in the kitchen and always on the food Very very limited options, literally served eggplants for breakfast , lunch and dinner No ATM anywhere around the hotel and they also do not accept small currency for exchange Between lunch and dinner no snack options other than some dry sandwiches (flat white bread and a small piece of ham), there’s absolutely nothing e [... read more]lse Had to carry a plastic water bottle to refill with water as they always forgot to bring us water to the room in the morning They did not clean the room unless we asked for it Tried going to the gym three days in a row and there was no electricity, asked staff for help multiple times but nobody cared Overall , worst all inclusive resort we’ve been to

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: Awesome vacation in Holgiin

Club amigo in my opinion is a fantastic place, always something to do and see, beautiful grounds and beautiful people. This is my 12th time in Club Amigo.,It's my Home away from home. You can't beat the weather,was 30-31 everyday and very little rain.

Melia Marina Varadero: The magnificent Melia Marina

A dream vacation on a pristine resort. First class food, perfect pools and a beauty beach make for a quality experience. The rooms were tastefully decorated and very comfortable, thanks Tripcentral and Melia Marina!!

Valentin Perla Blanca: Amazing resort

The Valentin perla blanca has got to be one of the best resorts that I have been to in Cuba. It was very clean and well taken care of. The staff was super friendly and always eager to help. The food was fantastic, always something different. The pools were very well maintained. I am already starting to plan my next trip to the Valentin perla blanca.
