Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: The good and bad.

First I want to start by saying that I rarely leave bad reviews based on a one week stay at any resort but this must be said. If you want to go on a vacation and drink good beer and good rum, vodka. This place is for you. The adult only side is quiet and beautiful. Unfortunately there are more negative things to say than positive. The level side of the resort(kid friendly) is much larger and has more staff to attend to your needs. The buffet is larger and has more options, although those opt [... read more]ions are sad at best. The entertainment was good but inconsistent. Some nights they did not have any sort of entertainment. And when they did sometimes they started way later than planned. Now I will talk about the food. If you can survive off of toast and canned fruit then great, unfortunately not everyone can. The meat was extremely inconsistent and some nights you could tell it was old or from the day before. There was rarely no fresh fruit and NO fresh vegetables. My girlfriend and myself got some sort of food poisoning from the buffet, in fact I may even have a parasite. Travel to and from the airport was fairly long and boring. There were some pink flamingos on the way but nothing noteworthy. All in all I do not recommend this resort. Pros: Large modern rooms, comfy beds, amazing beach and beautiful water. Cons: Absolutely terrible food(food poisoning possible), lack of toilet paper, lack of fruity beverages.

Gran Muthu Imperial: Beautiful Resort

Well maintained resort, beautiful pools. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience a great one! Would recommend this resort if you are in need of a relaxing vacation.

Gran Muthu Imperial: Amazing Time

Was our 3rd time at this resort love it that’s why we keep coming back staff is amazing Abel at the swim up bar and his family has become our friends made our stay amazing anything we wanted he made sure he had it for us overall an amazing trip and resort

Hotel Mojito: It was alright

I’ve been to Cuba a handful of times now so my expectations weren’t crazy high, but this resort is one that I will not return to. The staff is great, though half of them stood around on their phones everywhere we went, the beach was beautiful and the man at the beach bar was fantastic (he even helped me when I got stung by a jellyfish). The food was particularly disappointing at this one. There wasn’t much variety and it was the exact same every day. We also all got incredibly sick from i [... read more]t. We had absolutely no hot water in our room for the entire week. No variety of drinks other than beer, scotch and vodka. Only mix was cola for the first day or two. The bugs were bad which is probably the time of year we arrived(November) so maybe avoid their non-winter months. Obviously there were tons of jelly fish in the water this time of year as well. The front desk staff also weren’t very friendly. The a la carts filled up quickly and were basically the buffet food plated nicely. Otherwise it was great

Hotel Playa Paraiso: A B- hotel

The resort itself was good, amazing and helpful staff but the food was disappointing. They didn’t have fresh eggs and used some sort of powder or liquid eggs. They had three restaurants and all of them had very limited items on the menu. The items on the menu of the restaurant seemed like left overs from the buffet menu. They had the same desert as well that was served in the buffet. Worst part was our check was at 12pm but our flight wasn’t until 9:45pm so we paid and took a late check out  [... read more]for 4pm just so we could use the beach for half a day and then come back and shower and leave for the airport. When we got back to our rooms around 1:30pm to shower and change there was not water…. Imagine that after using the beach and you cannot shower before you catch a flight…

Melia Cayo Coco: FRIENDLY AND RELAXING

Such a clean and welcoming resort! The people are amazing and will bend over backwards to make ones vacation great! Nice entertainment and the view of the ocean from the sandy beach WOW! This is the location you'll enjoy if you're looking to relax for sure. Met a lot of people that continue to return and love it! Would say more of a 50+ spot!

Melia Cayo Coco: Relaxing Resort

Rooms are a bit dated but very clean,the gardens are kept beautiful by the none stop gardeners. The beach is fantastic and great to walk on, all the staff are so friendly and attentive to all your needs,they go all out to make sure you enjoy your vacation. The bars are well stocked and have very well trained staff. Food is like all resorts, good variety, something for everyone but don’t be fussy, great service from the staff.

Hotel Mojito: Ghost of its former self

Although a lot staff has changed we still feel like home when we are at the Mojito. Great to see some of the older staff. They make it worth while. The newer staff however, needs more training in hospitality and English. Food & drinks are limited as it is in the rest of Cuba. Beautiful weather & beach made for a great vacation.

Grand Aston Cayo Paredon Beach Resort: Grand Aston Review

Hotel room was a good size with some must haves that are sometimes lacking at other Cuban resorts- lots of hot water, good water pressure in the shower, coffee machine, good air conditioning, bar fridge, iron and board, scale. Beach and water outstanding. Service at Tex Max restaurant was very slow the night we were there- only opportunity we found. Italian restaurant was excellent. Lots of staff and all were very very friendly!

Melia Jardines del Rey: 7th trip there.

Ok, so the beach was fabulous as always, and the pool is sparkling clean again, pool bar staff as always fantastic as was beach bar. Some hiccups with the food but manageable. Groundskeepers continue to do a great job and the room was fine. Most of the staff were great but there are a couple of attitude issues that management should address. Lobby bar and 24/7. Just saying. Will I go back? Maybe, might try the neighbor.

Grand Aston Cayo Paredon Beach Resort: Good resort

The resort is clean and the staff is friendly. The resort lacks a lot of food options . The beach is damaged due to a storm the hit the island about a month ago so it's not the same anymore. Hopefully the resort will fix the beach soon. The area is known for mosquitoes so take precautions before you arrive.

Melia Cayo Coco: Great Resort

Beautiful resort ! Amazing beach and the friendliest staff ever! The rooms were comfortable and clean. The food was basic with noticeable missing items from certain food groups. But we made the best of it and did not go hungry at all & never missed a meal. The staff was very friendly and happy. Loved it!

Memories Caribe Beach Resort: Okay Resort

The grounds immaculate. I couldn't eat, the food was covered in flies. That was so disgusting. Beach and pool areas were great. The staff was pleasant. There's was an odor in my building lobby. The rooms need to be updated. Some of the fixtures were falling out of the walls. Sanitation was non existing. *October 2023*

Memories Flamenco Beach Resort: Was amazing

Food was the best that I had at any resort. Staff were amazing. Issue with hot water, but staff made arrangements for me to shower in another room as I didn't want to change rooms. I had a great room overlooking the ocean.

Grand Aston Cayo Paredon Beach Resort: Great Resort

Great Hotel especially when you look at quality price.. I would go back anyday. One of the best beaches i have seen in Cuba. The personnel were ALL outstanding and helpful. Hotel extremly clean..Enjoyed very much the coffee at the lobby bar. The only small problem since we were in the rainy season some nights there were many mosquitos so bring bug spray.

Melia Cayo Coco: A wonderful resort

Thankyou you to all the staff at Melia cayo coca every area was great staff food rooms and best beach it is and older crowd that goes there was perfect for me and only 15 minutes from the airport will be returning next June thank you Melia

Starfish Cayo Guillermo: No proper lighting , no phone or tv channels in my section

1. Light outside my unit did not work so it was pitch dark in the night to walk down the stairs and this prevented me from attending the nightly entertainment. No one seemed to care that a female guest did not have sufficient light to walk outside in the night . They were aware of this the first night but failed to fix it in the daytime. A “maintenance” guy came late on my 3rd night to ask to come into my room in the night to check the breaker but I did not want a stranger in my room so la [... read more]te especially when I could not see who it was outside. 2. The phone did not work so had to walk all the way to the lobby every time I needed info or something such as the wifi renewal which no one told me expired after some hours. 3.No channels on room tv , was not connecting to satellite, never fixed during my stay so no tv at all. No one seemed to care about the 3 issues above . Very frustrating. Curtains and mattress/ bed box , sheets and towels all had stains. Got a very torn pool towel too. Italian restaurant a la carte food was not very good. Grass outside my unit stairs was very long . Pathways near my section were unlit and made it very difficult to see and walk in the night . Most staff was pleasant and friendly. Food was surprisingly good esp the beef, veal and lamb and the flavoured rice . Breakfast omelettes and deli meats and cheese were good too. One wait staff told me she didn’t want to be tipped in US$ . Good location with beach access but too much seaweed and broken shells which may cut. I heard the entertainment was good but again, I could not see properly at night to walk out to the main area due to lack of lighting despite use of the torchlight which didn’t make me feel safe walking solo near the long overgrown bushes too.

Grand Muthu Cayo Guillermo: People are Amazing

On our 1st day we meet George the representative of Air Transat his very helpful to us, he make us stayed memorable, the chef is very accommodating about my request, the people in the snack bar is very friendly 😀 over all I want to come back and bring more friends 😀

Memories Caribe Beach Resort: Amazing Resort

This resort is a little gem. It’s a small/medium resort. People with mobility issues this is great for. The beach is stunning one of the best we have seen. The food is good this is Cuba so don’t expect Mexico or Jamaica standards. They do their best with what they have. You will never go hungry. The pizza on the beach is amazing. There was a lot of shortages this year but didn’t ruin our vacation. Bring bug spray and Benadryl. Lots of bugs this year across the island. The people were amazi [... read more]ng there. Just love the Cuban people they are the kindest and always smiling. We definitely will be returning to this resort in the near future.

Grand Aston Cayo Paredon Beach Resort: Great resort

Great resort very clean. Staff were great family pool Orlanda and Ebert took good care of us. They were smiles and laughter for them everyday. We were already taking about going back. We all enjoyed ourselves
