Good Resort!

Overall good resort. Friendly staff. Beautiful beach. Food was okay, have to pick and choose. Staff at buffet and bars were great, knew exactly what we wanted within a few days of our stay. Would definitely recommend this resort.

Underrated resort

My husband & I stayed at Iberostar Tainos from January 23rd to 30th, 2015. I can’t say much for the weather (it was windy, cool and cloudy for the most part) but, overall, we were very happy with our choice of resort. We travelled with my elderly mother & her friend so we were hoping for someplace quiet, intimate and compact. I’d say we found it. The resort itself was well maintained, conveniently laid out and had all the amenities that one would expect for a facility of this size. Our bung [... read more]alow room was clean and spacious (although a coffee maker & a clock radio would not go amiss here); the bed comfortable. The pool was central, adequately sized and surrounded by an adequate number of chaises. The beach was lovely – broad with lots of palapas to go around. The buffet was, as is often the case in Cuba, merely adequate. We were all, however, rather impressed by the quality of the a la Cartes (both Creole and Japanese). And the daily lunchtime barbeque by the pool, with a little mini-buffet and great Cuban music to aid the digestion was also a favourite. In truth, the best part of Ibertostar Tainos??? The people. The lobby and front desk staff were top drawer – helpful, warm and possessed of a great sense of humour. The maids were great and the wait staff at the pool bar (Julio, George & Maybi) really made us feel at home. I’d recommend this place to my friends on that basis alone.

Beautiful grounds and beach.

Grounds were excellent, room was a disappointment, service was excellent and staff very friendly. Only thing that we did not care for was the food. It was the same thing day after day and we did not expect cold cuts.

A diamond in the rough

This is our 3rd stay at Tainos. The resort is small, and there are no crowds to fight for meals or for a parasol at the beach. We keep returning for one main reason. That is the beach. We have been to several locations in Varadero, Cayo Coco, and Santa Maria, Cuba. Also several locations in Punta Cana as well as Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Not one can hold a candle to the beach at Iberostar, Tainos. Aside from the beach, the staff at Tainos take a backseat to nobody. They are extremely friendly and obli [... read more]ging. The resort is starting to show its' age, but they are in the process of renovating the resort, and we were in one of the newly renovated rooms. It is absolutely lovely. The food in Cuba is certainly never the main attraction. That being said, we never have a problem finding something that agrees with us at this resort. in fact, the meals are actually very good ! To sum up, if you are coming to Cuba to relax on the beach, you won't find a better place. Everything else simply makes your ability to do this very appealing. Enjoy !!
