Cayo Santa Maria Grand Memories

Our stay on this trip was a complete disaster. This our first one that we’ve ever had, when booking these packages. 1) The last incident was the check-in rep, at the airport did not sit our daughter with us, when seating. Ava is 6 years old??? Does Sunwing not have basic policies about this? The check-in rep was unresponsive and just an absolutely horrid and rude person. Furthermore, when we paid extra for Elite Plus on our return leg, they did not have right configuration of the plane!  [... read more]

Awesome Fun Resort

Over all I think the resort (Grand Memories) is an excellent example of Cuban culture and Tourism. There were a few hiccups the first day but nothing major. Our stay started with our room not being ready until 5:00pm that was a bit disappointing but staff accommodated us with a locked storage room for our belongings. Our toilet would not flush the second day and it took several hours to get it repaired. Staff were very apologetic and did try to assist us. The servers on the main bar and the hote [... read more]

Could be better

Hotel is definitely not luxurious. Pool area had moldy, smelly puddles that were not being cleaned properly. People smoked in the pool regardless of whether babies were there or not. Food is ok. Staff is amazing

Don't go There!

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I would give it a 1 star only because of the beautiful beach. The hotel is not maintained and needs a lot of upgrades. The a/c was not working in my first room. It took 2 days to fix a broken toilet. We found a cockroach in buffet area beside food and at the bathroom sink in the a la carte restaurant. The electrical outlets were hanging off the walls. The stair banisters were loose and safety bar in shower. There was lights out in some floor  [... read more]

Girls’ Trip

I just returned from Sanctuary at Grand Memories Santa Maria. My stay was July 6 - July 13. This was my second trip to Cuba this year. My last trip was in March to Varadero. I had originally booked Grand Memories Santa Maria, but we were booked on the Sanctuary side. Since this was their low season, I wasn’t expecting my mind to be blown; however, there was much left to be desired. I’ll just separate this review in sections to make it easier to pick out what you’d like to know before booki [... read more]

Amazing staff, amazing resort!

Our stay was fantastic. The resort was very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Only advice to future go hours, is to bring bug spray as the mosquitoes can get pretty bad at night but that was our only complaint

Bad resort

No hygiene, room was dirty, no Internet service for three days, had to switch room 3 times due faulty rooms, old TV, no beach towels for three days, food were cold, had to complain to get water bottle to the room and the sheet change in the room, this is not a 4+ hotel. It should be 2 star hotel.

Good.. for the first few days

My two girlfriends and I just returned from a 7 day vacation to grand memories. We went without toilet paper(used baby wipes) and water bottles for about 3 days. The only way we were able to get a bottle of water was because I had to BUY it at the gift shop. The food is decent but you're basically dreaming of something that has taste or flavour. The only thing that saved this resort from getting a 1 star was the beach. Staff were greedy and expected tips constantly. Staff also harassed my friend [... read more]

Amazing Resort!! The staff there are also amazing!

Hi there. I am responding on behalf of my Husband James William and myself. we just returned from two weeks in beautiful Cayo Santa Maria Cuba. We stayed at Grand Memories as we have been for the last eight years. One of the main reasons we stay is because of the staff! They are beautiful people! We love this resort. The food for Cuban Resorts is pretty good! The grounds are always being primped and looked after very well! The pool area is very clean and the beach is absolutely amazing!  [... read more]

Beautiful beach, low accomodations

It used to be better last summer. Moisture in rooms smells bad, dated furniture and television set; for sure it wouldn't make it for 3 stars, let alone the 5 that they are claiming. We booked 2 rooms in the same place, we got there 2 rooms in different buildings, 5 blocs distance from kids. We moved twice, because the second room was with no functioning air conditioning. Food was not very good. No sliced bread, if for salads, you have one day, the other day forget about it. Variety of drinks dec [... read more]

Wonderful!

The beach was perfect! Well kept with ample lounge chairs and shady umbrellas. All of the staff were always kind courteous and friendly. The buffet had plenty of variety whether it was breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had a wonderful stay and would be more than happy to return!

Secret Gem

This private resort is a diamond in the rough with lots of potential but be prepared for 1:45 bus ride with no washrooms. The beach is outstanding, the food was very good and the service was good. A few shortages like bread one morning & white wine. Reserve the restaurants early. Skip the Mexican restaurant that did not serve the basic staple of Tortilla chips. The cleanliness & building maintenance needs improvement as well as the evening entertainment.

Beautiful resort

Grounds were beautiful. Resort and rooms were lovely. Way too much difficulty getting the toilet paper replaced in our room more than a few times. Was even left empty several times after room was made up for day. Buffet food was ok. Nothing fabulous. A la carte meals were great. Alexander and the entertainment team at Sanctuary were wonderful.

2nd time was even Better , Grand memories Cayo santa Maria

This was our 2nd time retuning to this property we had such a great time last time , we decided to bring down all our family . We love the beach and the people . Especially the entertainment team .Alexander from the entertainment team is very deserving of this recognition as he made us feel very special as I know it's his job, but he is very genuine and I feel like he is family. His English gets better every year as we help him on line when we get home too. The way he treats his guests are ama [... read more]
