No problem with this resort...staff are amazing!

Great resort for value! Very well kept, food is plentiful, drinks are good, and they serve the best cappuccino and espresso! One of the nicest beaches we've ever been to...it's no surprise that we meet many couples that are return customer's!!

Issues unmentioned-

BEACH IS NOT SWIMMABLE - CURRENTS ARE TOO STRONG This fact alone made for biggest downside of the resort. We were told the morning after our arrival that you have to pay for taxi rides to bring you to other side of the island where beaches have less waves. The morning scramble to get onto a taxi was very unpleasant as people push ahead and drivers cram you inside the cab for a very uncomfortable ride.

Far exceeded our expectations!!!

Fantastic resort, fantastic staff, Spotless, would go back in a minute!! took a car around the island, marina area was a lot of fun, little shops. went to the turtle sanctuary which was really interesting.

Very good hotel in a great destination :-)

Only 5 minutes from the airport, this hotel is in a good location with a great beach. The staff was great and very friendly, we felt really welcomed :-) The food was good and the restaurant on the beach was great (especially the lobster - it was huge)

Our little paradise! Amazing relaxing resort!

This is our second time at the Sol Pelicano and everything was wonderful...the only thing that we would have wanted to change is to have the gym area moved back but overall, wonderful grounds, people, food and atmosphere!

Very satisfied with overall trip

Hotel staff and hotel excellent from beginning to end had a complete satisfied trip trip central and Jessie did a complete service overall would book again with them my only complain is the airport in Montreal complete disaster

A pleasant surprise!

overall a pleasant surprise, more than what we expected. Friendly people, good food, nice beach, beautiful gardens, not very crowded, free transportation to remote beaches, really good massage service, weather was nice too, good entertainment.

Fantastic Cuba Resort

The Good: Beach is Fantastic Food was better than most Cuban resorts Staff was friendly Rooms were clean, we didn't have any water problems but some others at the resort did. Pool was clean with lots of seating Could be Better: Animation Staff really didn't do much Beer Garden kept running out of Beer (Ran out of Crystal almost every day) and would run out of fish and chips as well. We had a great time and met some really nice people, The resort is under renovations but not too much of an inco [... read more]nvenience. Overall this is a great resort, well run with only a few problems. We are deferentially planing on a return visit to Hotel Playa Coco.

Cayo largo beauty

This resort is of older vintage but was well maintained . The beach was wide and very long for those who appreciate long walks . The surf was very strong ( red flag most days ) at the resort but the other beaches very close to the resort were much calmer . Food was good by Cuban standards my wife ate turkey on two occasions and the thin crust pizzas were also good . If you like fish they have a wide variety at the lunches and dinners . They barbeque at lunch at Zun Zun - usually pork and chicken [... read more] but I found although very tasty it was work to eat ( not the best cuts at times ) . Only real complaint was the bed - there was two of them we asked for Queen size but got two small beds side by side . . The people working the resort and those we met made up for any small inconvenience .

Nice beach !!!

The Beach was really nice ! Just in front of the hotel, there was no rocks, just very nice sand ...food was good for Cuba. It wa clean everywhere , staff friendly and dadicated, very calm and relaxing !

On a beautiful isolated island

Because of its beautiful beaches and amazing friendly local staff, is the reason I've been going back for several years. Unfortunately, the variety of food and the night shows have been declining year after years.

Amazing resort

Excellent staff, beach, grounds, service, food, entertainment, and weather at Christmas/New Year and March Break. Great walking, swimming, snorkelling, sites, excursions, and short distance from airport.

Excellent vacation with good value

Enjoyed our stay! Excellent service, good food, beaches are spectacular! Accomodation was more than adequate - only negative was lack of hot water most days. Not a lot of other things to do on the island, so would recommend for people just wanting an excellent resort experience.

2 great weeks

Got back Feb 28 from our first visit to pelicano and it won't be our last. It is just 5 minutes from the airport which is a bonus right off the start. Our room was on the western edge of the site so being on the 2nd floor we had drinks on the balconey watching beautiful sunsets each evening before supper. The beach is superb for walking going either left or right. Going right you go in front of just 1 resort (Sol Cayo Largo) and then it is just natural beach after that for a long way. Lots of wi [... read more]ndy days so playing in the breakers was fun. Grounds and rooms and food are 4 star Cuba so no surprises good or bad. The island is resupplied twice a week so sometimes they didn't have everything for a day or 2 but we never found it a problem. Staff is friendly and helpful. Probably more friendly than elsewhere in Cuba because they are there for 20 and back home for 10. The whole atmosphere is very relaxing which is what we were looking for and why we will go back.

Great place for beach lovers

This resort is well kept and grounds are nice for being on sand. The beach's are the best in Cuba ,one is rated the eleventh best in the world. the food is typical for Cuba hit and miss but the beach restaurant is great. People are very friendly and speak many different languages . Cant go wrong trying this place, many return guests.

Paradise in the south

It is a 3 star resort. The Sol Pelicano is dated but clean. There were shortages of food and bottled drinking water but the staff make the best with what they have. Wonderful beach. I would return and recommend the resort, but would point out the limitations.

Good time

Nice Cuban resort ... decent facilities. Nice rooms. Good Cuban food. It is an island so not a lot to do outside the resort. Beaches are amazing. Great location from the airport. As with most Cuban resorts very good staff.

Relaxing Vacation

The resort is in a beautiful location. The beach, the grounds and the surrounding areas are all lovely and well kept. It is great to be able to walk on the beach for miles and feel safe and not confined to the resort. The food is good, as good as a 5 star resort I have stayed at in Cuba - variety, fresh and great service. This is a good place to go if you want to relax and enjoy nature - definately not a party resort. The close proximity to the airport is a bonus.

Good Value

Grounds & rooms were clean. Food was OK. Beaches were fantastic! If you want a relaxing vacation by the ocean then this is the place, especially the cost. Only disappointment was they had no hot water for 3 days.

Amazing Beaches!!!!!!!

Typical Cuban resort, slightly overrated. At arrival rooms were not ready so he had to wait for about an hour. Room a bit small, with two double beds, and fairly clean. Have to pay two peso per day for safe. Grounds fairly clean but overall buildings and other facilities in need of some renovations. Food was good but occasionally they might run out of some items (eggs, bear?????), it's an island so deliveries are not that frequent. Fantastic beach, probably one of the best you'll ever see especi [... read more]ally in the Caribbean. Water could be a bit rough though and nudes are quite common (at some parts of the beach). Not enough huts, so if you like to sleep in get the beach umbrella at towel exchange booth. Overall good vacation.
