Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Good value for money

Large resort. Food is good, can be a bit salty, enough variety on a daily basis to find something you like. Nightly shows okay - standard as in other resorts. Staff is friendly and and always ready to serve you - no issues at all. Of course tips are appreciated, but I did not feel they were expected. In talking to the workers, most preferred goods as tips (toiletries, gently used clothing, shoes) since these are hard to come by, even if you have money. Overall, a very good stay!

Starfish Tropical Cayo Santa Maria: Great resort

My family and I ventured to this resort during the for Christmas break and I have to say I was very impressed! The staff are very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. One of the best beaches around. We have three small children and all of them had a great time. Thanks again Starfish for your hospitality and service. We will definitely be back again!

Roc Lagunas del Mar: nice resort

Nice resort with good service and a great landscape. Keep eyes on your belongings. My hat was stolen at a pool, the hat that went with me on vacations for the last 20 years. Now it is gone. (Last year my cellphone was stolen at Memories Caribe) The day the hat was stolen I gave 10 CUCs for tips. After the hat was stolen i stopped giving tips saving money for the new hat.

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Loved it

Amazing resort and services. Loved the buffet. Loved the catamaran guys. Made lasting memories! Fun activities everyday. Loved the vibes. Nice family resort! :) had lots of fun. Yummy ymummmm fun fun yay

Starfish Jibacoa: Resort from Hell

Room smelled like sewage and was in overall terrible shape. Too many locals hanging around the property. Staff were super unfriendly and only made an effort if you spoke Spanish. Waste of money!!!!!!

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: The Resort was okay, I would rate it as a 3.5

The Rooms could use some upgrades. The grounds were very clean and well maintained. I would rate the beach a 5 out of 5. Very clean,no seaweeds. The staff in the dining room was very friendly, got to know a few of them where hugs were being shared on the last day of the vacation.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Below average , not a 4 star hotel at all.

try to be honest while i do my review. overall cleanliness was OK. Beach was great. BUT they try to feed you with minimum veraieties foods and repeatitive cheep stuff. We were sick and tired of the same foods every day and night , low quality big chicken leg n smelly fish... I love Cuba for the beach and I have been to Cuba 7 times so i know how to set my expectation when I go to Cuba but honestly everything about this resort was below average. sun beds r sagging hardly you can find an ok on [... read more]e. drinks are watery and tasteless , even their pina colada doesnt have pineapple juice. Entertainements are very ordinary.... I would give them 2 or 3 star at best

Playa Pesquero: 4 star experience

Hotel grounds were immaculate and staff were friendly. The beach was smaller than I expected, and we had a hard time finding chairs most days, they were all reserved by 8am. The pool was enormous and clean, and you can always find a quiet spot to relax. Despite our lowered expectations of the food, we were still disappointed. It was great that most things were made to order, but the dishes were often overcooked and under seasoned, and lines were long (10 to 20 minute wait for your dish to be pr [... read more]epared, on average). Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable, and I enjoyed the hot showers with good water pressure. Housekeeping was slow at times when we called to order refills of things such as bottled water and body wash. We really enjoyed the coffee bar and ice cream stand. Wifi was good, but only available in the lobby or at some spots around the pool. The nightly entertainment was above average and there was a good variety of different acts.

Hotel Playa Paraiso: The worst resort experience so far

Ok, you can't expect perfection in Cuba resort, 4 stars or not. This metal tube in bathroom, that falls down and hit your back, toilets, that are clogged all the time... And cards for the door - We have to reprogram them every day! "Don't place them near your cells phone!" We didn't placed near cellphones, near computer, near tv, near cooler :) - still needs to be replaced every 24 hours. "You know - they are magnetic!" My explanation that all hundreds of hotels, that I have visited use the same [... read more] magnetic keys, but works properly, - no this argument never works. When weather is not good, there is nothing to do - if you expect club with ping pong or billiard tables - nothing! You can only entertain you with paid internet in main hotel lobby - you don't have it in rooms. And this 'representative' - shows one time at the beginning. I've ordered my excursion through other guys. Kind of dissapointment

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Food excellent

Towels, furniture in the room are very poor and old . and also lots of bugs bites in the room and bit us The water is too small and can not take the shower I recommend that towels, furniture need to change and water pipe also need to repair room service are OK.

Melia Jardines del Rey: Great Beach

We spent a week from December 23rd to the 30th 2019. The beach was gorgeous! Water was warm with soft sand. Staff were friendly. Our room was ready for us when we arrived. Rooms were clean but run down for a fairly new resort. We have been to Cuba 6 times prior to this stay so we are well aware that their resources are somewhat limited. Upon arrival our sliding door did not lock, it was however fixed within a few hours. The entire east side of the resort was shutdown. The pools were closed as w [... read more]ell as many of the a la carte restaurants and only certain ones were open on certain days and they were all located in the same room. The walkways were very dark be sure to take a flashlight with you! The phone in our room didn't work either...we were told it was a problem on the entire resort. My husband ended up with a double ear infection (which I believe was from the dirty pool) but was treated well at the medical clinic. The entertaiment was average and the overall cleanliness in the common areas was poor. There always seemed to be a shortage of toilet paper and soap in all the shared washrooms.

Memories Flamenco Beach Resort: Best Resort in Cuba

Spent Christmas vacation at Memories Flamenco with the family and can’t wait till we go back. The staff at this resort make this place. As well as the most beautiful beach. The food is very good ,especially at the a la carte restaurants.

Sol Palmeras: Awesome Place

We stayed in the cottage. It was a bit of a walk to the restaurant and main building, however it was very quiet and clean. There were some renos done recently. The beach is gorgeous and very relaxing. We went when there were lots of waives, so we enjoyed the water, especially because the sand was soft and there were no rocks.

Playa Pesquero: Wonderful vacation place!

Whole crews are very friendly, the beach is best of all compare to other resorts nearby. Pools are very large and clean. There are many restaurants we can choose from. Our family had great experiences and fun times from the resort.

Muthu Playa Varadero: Awful & old

So disappointed Old, everything is in terrible state door following apart wall, floors, elevator all the hotel are degradant. We felt like we arrived to a hotel after the revolution. I ask immediately to fix my door valcony foor ligths table literaly all folling apart. Food terrible,no flavor all the time over cook short on salt pepper at the tables, the turkey beef dry and tough.they serve over and over the same product until is imposible to eat. Food from the rest. "Ranchon" nothing good old  [... read more]dry testles. Some food even sour and spoild. Bartender are very rude. If you don't tip constantly they will not serve you properly. Or denied service like Orlando mean unrespectul lier and insulted us. Front desk terrible service no welling to give you information only they handle to you a flyer and if you there to ask for details they turn so mad. Always seating or talking between them and don't try to interrupt them. Definitely not worth it the price.

Sanctuary at Grand Memories Santa Maria: Not bad

There are many positives to Sanctuary at Grand Memories. Adults only, beautiful beach, friendly service, beautiful grounds. Clean rooms, live music, great drinks! Some room for improvement. Public washrooms were dirty or out of soap and paper. Towel exchange not enough available. Supper buffet at Grand, very loud and the food was average. For the price I’d consider going back for the positives.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Coral Iberostar Ensenachos

Amazing rooms,grounds and beach. The service was exceptional! This was our first time at the Coral Level and we will certainly be back. No problems with food...always hot and presentation was appreciated. No issues finding beach chairs or a place at the pool. The staff went out of there way on numerous occasions to make our stay memorable. Looking forward to our next vacation at this resort!

Melia Cayo Coco: We'll have to stay longer next time!

We returned to Melia Cayo Coco (w/ friends) for 9 days (Dec 18-27) and were wowed! Improvements all around! The food was excellent – tasty & fresh. Smaller portions greatly minimized the amount of food waste we have seen at other resorts. The quality of the food throughout was well above par. We enjoyed live music every night in the lobby bar. The musicianship was incredible. We relished the fact that these artists were not forced to compete with other entertainment but in fact preceded  [... read more]and complemented it. As for our clean room, we enjoyed a comfortable King-sized mattress & pillows, brand new a/c, hot water and fresh towels & sheets daily. Our request for more tv channels was addressed promptly and to our satisfaction. Also, a lighting issue we had taken note of was corrected before we even took a moment to call about it! We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at the International Restaurant and were delighted with the attention to detail that the friendly and caring staff showed us. The grounds were beautiful; the beach, expansive. To help preserve it all we bring Bubba Mugs for our drinks. We would definitely encourage others to bring reusable containers like these to help preserve this amazing space from being littered with disposable plastic cups and straws. We really love the adult-only aspect of MCC and the more mature, laid-back vibe that comes with that: it is not a party resort. All efforts by staff really show and are felt – it’s a special place we are SO grateful to enjoy!

Iberostar Selection Holguin: VERY DISAPPOINTING

Terrible service, no quality Canadian food/alcohol, maid did a great job, room was quite nice, beach was terrible, grounds were badly kept, for a one year old resort, it looked 20 years old, horrible problem with bug bites, all 20 members of our group got badly bitten, a la carte food and service was good, buffet selection never changed and service was non-existent

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Disappointing

Resort was a 2 star. Room locks didn’t work several times, many food items not available. Pool towels could not be exchanged daily. Air conditioner was extremely loud all night. Beach was dirty and rocky. Not many pool activities throughout the day. Do not stay here!!
