Awesome resort

Great pools, Lots of space, great lobby and bars. We were a huge group and We were always accommodated properly, the staff is excellent and extremely courteous. I would definitely go again, it was a long drive from the airport, but it was Well worth it

Pools are amazing. The beach even better!

We were a group of 17, with ages ranging from 12 to 72. there were an abundance of lounge chairs available, the staff was courteous and very accommodating, the rooms were extremely clean, as well as the facility. This resort is well worth the drive across the causeway

Good times!

Great place to visit but too far for us from airport. Staff were great and always smiling. Rooms are fine however pillows suck. Lots to eat but if you are picky go to Jamaica. Love the Cuban people!!!

Not too shabby!

Just what the doctor ordered. Only issue was the pillows in the rooms..not great. Entertainment is lacking and too far from airport. Other than that everything else was awesome! Go and have some fun..

A True Paradise at Golden Tulip Aguas Claras Resort

The grounds at this resort are well maintained, The dining area and main lobby are spacious. I stayed in Block 15 on the second floor. I had an amazing view of ocean. I was travelling with my family and friends. There was four teenagers and a 10 year old. My family stayed in Block 18. Everyone had a Great time. My grand kids loved the buffet and 24 hour snack bar. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Friends and their teenagers stayed near lobby.We had a relaxing time. My daughter and [... read more] grand kids and their friends went on a excursion and saw The dolphins. they enjoyed the experience. The rooms are comfortable, the only complaint was flat pillows lol. PS The Cubans make a Great Mojito.

Excellent Resort

WE had an amazing time at the Golden Tulip... The sunwing rep was fantastic... He helped get a electrician to come to our room to help with a machine we thought we had blown up... Supberb service...The rooms were clean only problem was the patio door did not lock so had to leave the room unlocked at all times....The pools were great and with so many areas to eat one should never be hungry at this resort... The people are so friendly here many friends have been made... I would travel to this reso [... read more]rt again and I would recommend it for others to try...Thank -You... Bob and Kathy Snow

Amazing resort

The resort was very nice looking: the 2 different pool areas - beautiful and well equipped with chairs and shades for tourists to enjoy them. The beach, a bit small, but white sand and lots of chairs, but fewer shaded areas. The bars, the lobby - nice looking all. The rooms - beautiful and clean. The restaurants - so so... the best one: romatico restaurant (a la carte), then the buffet one, then Guirro (a la carte), and the last one the Italian (a la carte) one. The food it was ok. not gr [... read more]eat, but not bad. you could find something to eat, even if you were very picky. we ate a lot of grilled fish, chicken, pork. The trip of jeep safari was great and worth the money. we didn't have the driver licence with us, so we paid extra money for their driver (you could drive your own jeep in this trip, visiting 2 farms). our only huge problem was some very little flies (maybe sand flies) that bit us and was very itchy for many days! we are still scratching our bites after 4-5 days... so enjoy the trip!

Great pools and beach

The hotel was clean and the room was impeccable.We always had water and our fridge was always full.The buffet was a bit repetitive.The snack bar(only one the others never open) was OK some days missing food !The pools were great enough chairs for everyone .More entertainment would be nice maybe some dancing!The weather wasn't great lots of wind but over all we relaxed.

Second Time Back and going back again !

Love this resort !! No shortage of good food. Grounds are well kept. Beach is among the best we've ever been to. Staff is friendly and courteous.Pool bar tenders Poppy and Ray are always at the ready to serve a drink !

Great place to relax.

Beaches were very closed from resort. Food choices were good. Rooms were great. Service was really nice. Needs to do something for small white flies as they bites like crazy. I was there jan 23rd for wk. Needs improvements on daily activities n live performances. Service were really nice. Wifi needs improvement as well.

Amazing place

Rooms were really nice n roomy. Food variety was good. Lots of choices. Peoples were great n very helpful. Wifi was not so good. Needs improvments for their daily activities n better live performance.

Beautiful Spot

Complex made up of a series of 3-level smaller buildings on pristine grounds just off the beachfront. Plenty of food choices for meals. Staff very friendly. Wonderful beach. Electric cart shuttle from your hotel room to the buffet for the ultra-lazy. Too far of a drive from the airport so best to avoid late arrivals.

Fine resort - beautiful beach location

Hotel is clean and grounds are well-kept. Food is better than expected with plenty of variety and enough choices to please everyone. Very friendly staff. Long drive from airport - avoid late arrivals.

Great Family Vacation

We travelled January 10 to 17 and had a mix of good and not great wrather, so we had a great opportunity to experience the whole resort. This was our 9th trip to Cuba so we knew what to expect. The beach was great, but there is some major coastal erosion at the West end. There was still hundreds of feet of coastline and great beach. You can also explore in both directions as there are no other resorts sharing the beach. Good shell hunting which my daughter enjoyed. The snorkeling is quite poo [... read more]r, however...most of the coral has been destroyed by the hurricanes. Pools are great. The kids pool keeps the triple pool quiet for adults to enjoy. Towels were available all the time...every day...that never happens in our experience. Food was very tasty but lines for freshly prepared eggs or grilled meats or pasta were very long and slow. Everything was very good, but a bit repetitive and slow lines make the buffet congested. The Ranchon by the beach was amazing. Best lunches and bbq we've ever had in Cuba hands down. Snack bar was amazingly quick and good food whenever we went. That brings me to the very best part of the whole resort...the service. I'm not there to make friends so no shout outs to anyone...but my sincere thanks to everyone who showed up each and every day to work hard, serve well, and so a good job. From the guy who stocks the fridge to the lady who changes out beach towels; to the bartenders to the golf-cart guys. Everyone was working and everyone was respectful and positive. It made for a deeply good feeling which we all noticed and greatly appreciated. Finally, the room was perfect. Good A/C and cleaned well (floors washed and shower wiped down each day) and early (usually during breakfast and always before lunch for us) which was great. Overall this was not the highest rated or most expensive resort we've tried, but it was our best overall experience. We will be back!

It is good

The food is very good and delicious, and we can have our lunch beside the sea. There is a little problem about the room. The door to the balcony can not be locked for our rooms. Then we have to go to the lobby to change room. But the staff did it carelessly. First she let us wait and then she told us that we should change rooms tomorrow! After we insisted on, she had to change two rooms for us. Beside this little trouble, we have a good time at the Golden Tulip.

The place to avoid

Everything was spoiled because of bedbugs!!! 10 days after the trip are over and my daughter who has been affected most is still scratching!!! From the 3rd night we did not sleep well, the treatment was done twice, but it was not very effective. Really a shame because in general everything was fine, but the other people we talked to had the same problem.

3.5-4*

The grounds were nice, rooms need updating. Food was good. Staff was very friendly. Bugs were bad. Bring bug juice. Pool needs repairs. The 90 min bus ride is a bit too much with kids. To each there own.

Great Resort!!

The staff at this resort were so friendly and helpful! For a bigger resort it was well kept and a pleasure to be at. The only downfall was the food but you can get by. Totally worth the trip.........)

Nice Resort, Beautiful Beach!

Resort - Very well maintained resort. The resort was a medium size resort, not too big. Nice pools and amazing views! Mosquitos were terrible!! Hot and humid weather caused a lot of mosquitos - bug repellant and hotel spraying did not seem to deter these bugs! Bring lots of bug spray and maybe some citronella candles Rooms - we upgraded to a Suite! Amazing views from the balcony - and super close to the beach. We were in Building 9. Amazing rooms for Cuba standards. We had two bathrooms - lar [... read more]ge shower and Jacuzzi tub. The suite also had upgraded amenities and large sitting and dining area. Real king size bed with lots of room! Glad we upgraded. Restaurants - Food is not good. Pretty much standard Cuba food. Pizza by the beach and BBQ at lunch. Not much to choose from. Drinks were cold and had lots of variety. We were in off-season, so some of the restaurants were closed. Book your reservations for a-la-carte early! Entertainment - was okay. Nothing great. They should have had more activities and theme nights - but again, it was off season. It would have been nice to sit in the lobby, but the mosquitos made that difficult to enjoy. Beach - this was AMAZING!! Beach is beautiful - with white sand beach and lots of seating. Water was super warm and the sunshine was great! Ride to the resort was a bit far, but if you are expecting the long bus ride it's not too bad. Bus is air conditioned and comfy. Staff was also helpful and friendly. A bit of a language barrier with the front desk staff at times, but overall it was okay. Some changes to note - beach towels are not available in the suites and there is no 24hr room service available. Overall we enjoyed the vacation - even with Hurricane Irma approaching!

Beautiful resort

It's very nice resort for family and kids. Good experiance with sugar cane jus squeezed in front of your eyes. Not the best entertainment but pleasant. We loved it and enjoyed the resort. Tropical fruits like mangoes, guava, coco i enjoyed it the most.
