Melia Costa Rey: Nice resort

The rooms are well maintained, the personnel is very nice. The food is good, the choice at the buffet is varied. The beach was nice and not too crowded. The entertainment crew was good. All in all, it was a great first experience for me!

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Fabulous Resort

Stayed on the Coral side in a swim up room. Resort is very clean, staff is wonderful. Janner at the cigar bar makes the best Mojitos, Dairon at the buffet will make sure you are well looked after, Helen in the lobby bar is a sweetheart and makes sure your drink is full. Anything else you need then Ariel and Carlos are the go to in the lobby office. Housekeeping staff is top notch! Beach bar has the best Margaritas! Pools are clean and beach is absolutely beautiful.

Royalton Hicacos Resort and Spa: I would go back.

We had a nice getaway. People helpful and friendly. Food ,not great but good. Our room and maid were good. TV reception weak. The beach was fantastic, lots of palapas and loungers. The entertainment was good in the evening. Also at the restaurants the music was very nice.

Melia Cayo Coco: Melia Cayo Coco

Staff 6 stars. Beach 6 stars! Ocean 6 stars!. Bars 5 stars. Rooms 4 stars (I had a renovated one). Activities 3 stars. Entertainment 3 stars. Don't come here to party: couples 60 to 80 year olds. Restaurants are the problem; the main buffet food is sketchy and irregular. Great omelettes for breakfast but no bacon. Lunch and dinner: no decent beef, lamb inedible, pork variable. Best are chicken and fish but very ordinary. Cooked veggies are from frozen or canned and are often cold in the war [... read more]ming plates. But hey, this is Cuba: don't come here to eat.

Hotel Rancho Luna: Beautiful location

Great hotel, wonderful staff, beautiful Bayside beach, nice bar, lobby and entertainment areas. Large grounds. Stars at night. Quiet. Peaceful. Large pool. Within walking distance of public beach as well.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: It was absolutely amazing

The grounds were beautiful and so well kept with all the gardeners. The food was fabulous, always plenty of fresh fish fruits, meats and desserts were fabulous! I would highly recommend this hotel. It is only rated as a 3.5 star but really and truly it should be a 5 star. No complaints from me at all!!! I plan on going back to this same place in the future. This was my 5th time to travel to Cuba and this was by far my favorite resort. Everyone one so friendly and Christian Reese th [... read more]e new manager was amazing!!! Room service everyday and clean. We actually had toilet paper delivered when needed also which is a shortage there! (LOL) I also felt very safe there. They had security everywhere.

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: We had a wonderful time as a family

The facilities were top notch, the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food was better than expected and we always had more than enough to eat. The sports bar was a nice place to hang out in the evening. I would say I didn't enjoy some of the song choices that the dj's played in the afternoon... some songs had lyrics that were very inappropriate for a family resort but when I asked to change the song they obliged. We stayed for 5 nights and it was a wonderful time. There weren't any te [... read more]nnis rackets to play tennis.Our room for our family looked over the neighbouring adult only resort and they were very loud with their music, we probably should've asked for a quieter room but it didn't bother us enough to ask to change. Overall a wonderful relaxing time. I miss my morning coffee in the beautiful lobby bar and of course the most beautiful beach I have been too!

Sol Cayo Coco: All Is Well At The Sol

February 2025 First time to Sol Cayo Coco, We have been to other resorts on Cayo Coco but feel the Sol is the best, The staff are amazing, friendly and go above and beyond to help, too many to name and I do not want to miss anyone. We loved that it is a small resort with paved ramps for those with mobility issues and everything is close in proximity. There is a large pool and a smaller quiet pool with lots of chairs and shade areas at both. At the beach we had a good choose of loungers and be [... read more]ds. There is also a path to a small beach past the rock cliff that is part of Sol. No shortages of food. We had lots to eat and a good variety. Buffet had grill station with beef, chicken, fish, mussels, sometimes pork chops and clams; also pasta station,on 2 different nights we had turkey also,salad fixings,cold cuts and hot trays of vegetables,beef stew ( delicious), etc. All the beef was tender( the first time we have experienced this in Cuba). For us lunch was at the pool snack bar which served pizza, hamburgers, fries and grilled ham and cheese. Ala carte's were Cuban and Mediterranean. Both were good. Our room was on ground floor with nice balcony. Was renovated, had walk in shower, comfortable bed ( new pillow top Mattress). Lots of hot water. the Cayos have their own power so no outages. Entertainment was good. Liked the outdoor covered stage area. Especially enjoyed the night the organ grinder provided the music in the lobby area and the young lady playing the saxophone . We didn't care for the nights that it was in the disco as the sound seemed distorted and loud. The guests from Canada and other countries were very friendly and always ready for a chat or to answer questions. Definitely will return to the Sol.

Gran Muthu Imperial: Best hotel ever!!

I was at the gran muthu imperial Cayo Guillermo for 2 months - January and February 2025 and am so impressed with this hotel - and really disappointed when I see bad reviews. Being there for so long I was able to see how hard this hotel worked to compensate for things outside of their control - food shortages for example. There were times that there were no potatoes but they subbed with banana chips - or bacon but subbed with sausage. Once there was a pork shortage but they upped the seafood [... read more] selection. Cuba is a beautiful country with beautiful people and beaches - the hotel was super clean and the staff friendly and helpful. The pools were beautiful but cold!! (Still swimmable). Understandable as this time of year is their winter as well - however toward the end of February, the pools were a lot warmer. The tourists, often, were disrespectful, condescending and rude - but this was never reciprocated by the staff - I will definitely be back for another 2 months next year. Definitely worth the money.

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Best Resort in Varadero

Well kept. Everyting worked. There was no coffee making in our room. But I was told that I just should have asked for one. The food was very good. The grounds were well kept. My only conplaint would be that you can hear your neighbours out on the balconies, and you can smell their cigarette smoke. But once you close your patio doors it's okay. We didn't spend a lot of time at the room. There are plenty of bars. You don't have to go far for a drink. The service is verry good.

Grand Aston Cayo Paredon Beach Resort: Great Family Resort

Great family beach vacation! The beach is amazing, the most beautiful I have ever seen. Wonderful staff and very clean. The food was very good for Cuba. My kids who are very picky eaters ate all week and always found something they liked. We were at the resort during Quebec’s spring break so the resort was full and there seemed to be lacking staff at the buffet, snack bar and bars. So you needed to be patient often. Also unfortunately people reserve places at the pool and the beach early in th [... read more]e morning so if you go later than 7:30 am there are no more places available. The resort should really not allow people to reserve places they are not using. We saw places saved with not seeing a single person come during the whole day. Very frustrating. But I would go again, and suggest it to a friend.

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Excellent resort

This is a very excellent resort , clean grounds great pools good food and drinks. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. Very quiet surroundings beach was nice and easily accessible. Snack bar was good a la cart restaurants were very good

Playa Costa Verde: Amazing trip!

The grounds are well-kept and beautiful, the food was the best we have had at this resort in the last 6 years, the staff are amazing and very pleasant and helpful, the beach is fantastic! You can swim out and snorkel right from the white sand beach. The pool was well-maintained and the swim-up bartenders are quick and entertaining! The rooms are neat and cleaned daily and there was always water in our room and well-stocked with toilet paper. The restaurants were easy to book and had very good  [... read more]food and the 24-hour snack bar always had lots of food and good food! This was our 6th time back to this resort and hope to go again next year!

Vila Gale Cayo Paredon: Beautiful resort

This resort is very clean and well maintained. Lovely beach to swim and walk on. Pools crystal clear. Room was well appointed and bed very comfortable. Food was fine, the two BBQ nights the food was good and à la carte restaurants the two I tried were good. Hotel was not terribly busy the time we went it was only 33% full so the farther out restaurant was only serving drinks. We did have no hot water a few days but Air Canada compensated us for that.

Sanctuary White Sands: Beyond Beautiful Resort

Everything about this resort was miracle. We were staying building #1 it was abit of a walk to the beach but we didn't mind it. More steps! Rooms were beautiful, food was amazing. Beach was paradise. 7 days of heaven. Guests were disrespectful by leaving the beach towels at the beach chairs for next day. Very selfish! Also FYI Noone asked us for proof of medical Insurance. It's a scam! Reisy at the beach was the best! We will definitely return back.

Hotel Playa Coco: Hotel Playa, Cayo Coco

Yet again, we have lived an excellent experience. From beautifully maintained grounds, to amazing people, more food than we could eat, all spirits available and exceptionally clean living quarters. As repeat guests we are also provided with a privileged supper which is as usual, an amazing evening.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Loved this Resort…so peaceful!

I needed a restful vacation to relax and destress and this was the perfect place. I did not want to leave. The beach is beautiful, the food was nice and the workers were friendly. I enjoyed the entertainment; especially the guitar player and the saxophonist.

Valentin Cayo Cruz: Valenti Cayo Cruz

Didn’t like the smoking in the lobby and not enough evening shows. The resort was beautiful and the staff was great. The rooms were nice and cleaning staff was lovely. Front desk and bar staff were great . Food was what I expected for Cuba.

Starfish Cuatro Palmas: Always great

This is the 3rd time in under a year we have been to this resorts. We like the freedom of this location beeing right in town We can walk any place we want and have options for different restaurants if we want . The food is always consistent and good and never have a hard time finding food to eat. The beach is the best and we have the last 2 times stayed in the eco rooms in block 2 and have no complaints.

Melia Costa Rey: Nice Resort and beach stay from Feb 26 to March 5th

The Melia group has done a lot of work to the grounds and the buildings. A lot of the staff are still there from the Pullman days. The beach area is amazing the seaweed is removed every morning. There's lots of shade on the beach. The lobby bar has good cappuccino and drinks. The bar staff are very pleasant and a lot of fun to be around. There's two beach bars for the family side. The day before we left they started to have grills for the lunch time. The food was very good.We spend our tim [... read more]e at the Sunrise beach bar it was a little more peaceful at this location. The buffet was very good with lots of variety and lots of eggs. They didn't have bacon at the family side or the adult side. The beef wasn't very good, very tough. The coffee wasn't very good rarther weak.The service was excellent at We went to the Cuban,Italian and Japanese restaurant all three where good. Thanks to Susan Sinder, our agent, she advised the hotel we were repeat guest. Our room had a beautiful ocean view. We where given a free bottle of rum and a invite to a five course dinner which was surprisingly good . We plan on returning next year again.
