Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Really nice

Resort is designed in a very aesthetically pleasing and convenient manner. Employees were very friendly. Amenities were good, I especially enjoyed the pool table. The buffet food was okay, but the restaurants were better. Altogether, I would definitely recommend.

Memories Flamenco Beach Resort: Amazing older resort

We are just back from a 11 day stay at this resort. Our stay was great eventhough it is in need of some upgrades the staff is fantastic. The owners are in prossess of spending lots of money renovating on many fronts. We did experience some shortages with food and some drinks but overall the food was not bad....we did'nt starve. The beach was fabulous!!

Grand Aston Cayo Las Brujas: Great resort!

The grounds were absolutely beautiful,lots of flowers,well taken care of! Beautiful beach ,large ,clean swimming pools! Food was good,lots to eat especially if you're willing to try some different dishes. Very,very friendly staff!

Melia Varadero: Wonderful place

We just returned from a great week at this property. This is our 6th trip to Cuba and first since COVID. The property is compact, well kept and on a beautiful beach. We upgraded to the Level and enjoyed room service for breakfast each morning and our teens enjoyed it late at night. The Level allowed us to eat at the a la cartes nightly which was a welcome treat from the more limited buffet. Cuba is suffering with huge inflation and food shortages but we felt this resort did very well with what t [... read more]hey have and we were never hungry. The service was always wonderful and we felt so welcomed. Activities were very limited but we weren’t there for the nightlife. We plan to return!

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Very Unique Resort

It was very well laid out with several pools to accommodate each building. The Cuban people were pleasant and helpful. The food was good but not great but they did their best. The weather was consistent and very windy for the first several days. Beautiful ocean colour! Worth it.

Club Amigo Atlantico Guardalavaca: odd expectations

i arrived at club atlantico on saturasday February 8th ... at check in i was given a ground level bunkie ( trying to describe the terrible conditon of these units is impossible , so bunkie is my choice of noun ) after a back and forth with keys and whatever ... i had a second level unit ... well; omg grease on the slidding door ... dirty .... seems a strain in the closest had some bioligical beginning ... the bathroom was terrible ( the bathtub was pained in white paint ( slppery ) this  [... read more]unit really belongs in a hooker hotel ! i expected odd food choices and my expectations were accurate ... but private restaurants closeby ... the staff really tried ... no wine with dinner was a disappointment. after 1 1/2 days i meet with the airtransat rep and asked to be moved to another hotel ... this cost me 528.00 plus 40 dollar taxi ride ... i sincerely wished i was advised this was a family hotel ugh ! the aston hotel was ok ... well ; power went out 2 to 3 times a day ... the internet was hit and miss .... the two issues are; staff expecting times each time you ordered ... annoying ... and the extreme size of the hotel ... on the plus side i lost 4 lbs waling miles each day. now what can be improved ; charge effectively to move ... i was believed i was really overchared ... there should not be a penalty to move hotels .... what needs to improve; impower the staff at the front desk ! i had no hot water for 4 days ... well, there was hot water if the staff had bothered to tell me how to operate the system ....secondly, i had no tv for 4 days ... again ; asked another person in the unit and he explained and i finally got the tv to work ( about 10 minutes later the person i had expected 4 days ago , came into the room ! i got sick on the 2nd monday and spent 1 1/2 days wondering if i would ever feel like eating again! not my ideal vacation , i enjoy cuba .... i had excellent service and vacation in the angansa in cayo sant marie in november --- the reason i went back to cuba ... not confident that i will go back to cuba anytime soon.

Melia Jardines del Rey: Amazing Resort with Amazing Staff

This is our 2nd trip to the Melia and it didn’t disappoint. The staff here are beyond amazing and always go above and beyond to make your trip the best it can be. The resort grounds are always well kept and beautiful. Our room was spacious and clean, yes the toilets would be my only complaint here, but that is what it is and expected. The ala cartes were delicious and the staff always courteous and polite. The main buffet was a little busy as we had another resort at our hotel and some locals  [... read more]there as well. It does seem to be the same food over and over yes but this is Cuba and none of us starved. There are a-lot of rude people unfortunately that will grab all the bacon and all the bread etc, I often wonder if they eat all that bacon and bread at home in one sitting or they just assume this is all inclusive and free for all and who cares about everyone else. Can’t let those kinds of people ruin your vacation. If you want specific food I would recommend just bringing it with you and problem solved. IE. bagels, snacks, cereal bars, ketchup, spices, hot sauce etc. The beach was definitely more rocky this time but if you walk a few feet down to the right, there is a beautiful sandy part that you can walk way out and it’s stunning. The entertainment staff are Phenomenal here and will always get you as involved as you want, the pool bar staff again absolutely amazing. The pizza snack bar delicious!! The 24 HR snack bar does its job. Great staff there as well. Your vacation will be what you make of it and yes Cuba suffers with getting items delivered on a regular basis and odds are you will run of out something but I am pretty sure it will not be life or death and you will survive. You’re on vacation and away from the crappy weather and hustle and bustle of everyday life so just enjoy it !! You will never visit a country more welcoming than Cuba or with more friendly people. I have travelled to different countries and never get the same love as you do in Cuba. I see so many bad reviews and I want to shake these people and tell them how entitled they actually sound but it’s a waste of time and energy. Trust me if you go to this resort you will have one of the best vacations and meet some really amazing people that make this resort what it is. Lastly, I want to give a huge shout out to our travel agent Louise Enden who is absolutely the best. She will answer all your questions, she will give you the best advice on what is best for you. She will be with you from the moment you book till the moment you are home. She is always a phone call away if you need her for anything while on vacation. I have booked with Louise many times and she never disappoints. Thank you Louise for always being the best travel agent to us.

Playa Vista Azul: Great Experience

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were good. Had a great time in the pool and sitting on the beach. The infinity pool was lovely and it was relaxing to sit there. Enjoyed hanging out at in the lobby.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Better than expected

Went with my daughter for one week. Hotel and grounds very kept. Rooms a little dated but kept very clean. People and staff were excellent. For the food well I was pleasantly surprised. The choice a little limited but the taste were great. Even for a picky eater there was something. The beach were good but the ocean was a little rough. Still went in every day. All in all happy with our stay.

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Very good

Very nice resort looks like a campsite a lot green three and beautiful flowers kept very clean the people are very friendly the beach is clean but a little rocky over all very good the only thing was the air line Sunwing they delayed the flight three times

Valentin Cayo Cruz: A friendly and welcoming atmosphere to rest and relax on the beach or by the pool!

This was my third time visiting the Valentin Cayo Cruz. I go back because the resort is located in such a beautiful area. The beach is remarkable with crystal turquoise waters and white sand. The staff work diligently to keep it clean. We walked 3.5 km down the beach. The pool area is also a lovely spot with three separate pools depending on what you want to do. There's a sports pool with soccer and volleyball, a lounge pool and a swim up bar. There are other quieter pools but I like to be by th [... read more]e activity (which is not overwhelming). The food was really stepped up this year and we see the work they are doing to make best with the little they have. There was variety and quality to the food. The grounds are beautiful and clean and the staff are working all the time to keep it that way. I can't say enough about the wonderful staff. From the cleaners, to the entertainment staff, to the desk staff, to the waiters/waitresses, to the general manager (who took the time to stop and talk to us). We felt like VIPs. I feel safe at this resort. I will be back in 2026!

Playa Costa Verde: happy place

feels like home and family...love. always giving warm and caring charm. beautiful nature, simple but still elegant. 15 time winner for me .not for high maitenance people. Simple reunion spot for me and my besties

Playa Costa Verde: Will be returning soon!

Great family resort and everything went perfect! The staff were very nice and it was close the airport. The food was not that great, maybe 5/10, but the rooms were great, we had a suite. The pool was great, we did not use, due to the sun.

Royalton Hicacos Resort and Spa: Royalton is Amazing

This was our third year in a row. Had an amazing vacation. We were not disappointed. We look forward to returning next year. The staff are amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was unbelievable. From the butlers, grounds people, maid services, cooks, dining room staff...all were outstanding.

Sanctuary at Grand Memories Holguin: Beautiful resort, beach and weather couldn't ask for more.

Hotel is big but well maintained , plenty of restaurants and bars, food was good and the people were awesome , we were a group of 6 all very happy with the exception of one day one room from our group not having the towels but overall was a very good vacation we would go back. PS we were hoping to be delayed and stay a couple more days but that didn't happen. We met a wonderful young lady by the name of Natalie working in the lobby bar she nicknamed us the Toronto family.

Vila Gale Cayo Santa Maria: AMAZING RESORT

GREAT HOTEL , BEST FOOD YET IN CUBA, STAFF WENT OUT OF THERE WAY TO HELP , BEACH IS PERFECT, SECOND TIME BACK TO THIS HOTEL I WILL COME BACK . OUR FLIGHT WAS DELAYED TWO DAYS THE HOTEL LOOKED AFTER US.

Sol Turquesa Beach: Resort 3 stars

This was our second time to this resort . The resort was almost empty only 50 people. Staff are fantastic and friendly. Rooms was clean but TV not working, they coming fixing but not work at all. Afternoon no water in room. Food , no shortages but wasn't many option. The food menu was almost the same. All restaurant was closed. They push people for ala carte (Italian, International) but served the same food as the buffet. Entertainment was minimal and not interesting. Entertainment and C [... read more]uban band was the worst for my 15 years experience in Cuba. Beach beautiful but water is full of seaweed and full of rocks, impossible swimming of snorkeling. Lots of mosquito and bugs , they leave huge welts that itch so badly. OFF did not help. The resort need very good manager for fixing many problem, the resort was much better before covid. Now I am not recommended this hotel for my friends.

Starfish Cuatro Palmas: Welcome to Paradise

This hotel is one of the oldest in Varadero. You’re right in the heart of it all! With that being said in some areas of the hotel, there will be very minimum sleep. I suggest to bring ear plugs. This resort was clean updated and the food was amazing. Of course the staff is very sweet and accommodating to every need. I will definitely be back!

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Beautiful property, lacks essential cleaning

Absolutely amazing property. Beach is a solid 10 out of 10. Pool is nice and kept very clean. Rooms are dated, but tidy, air conditioning just blows air around, room is very humid and musty smelling. Everything in the room including the sheets feel wet. It was a problem getting fresh towels. Buffet was well stocked and not short anything and area kept clean. 24 hour snack bar serves the essentials for a drunk visit or emergency Top Up, selection includes hotdog and fries, ham, sandwich and frie [... read more]s, spaghetti with ketchup on it. All common area bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, Not kept clean at all, most do not have toilet paper in them and some don’t even have running water. Seems like lots of staff looking after the grounds, keeping the pool, clean, etc. just nobody wants to look after those washrooms I guess. Some of the staff were very nice, some were pretty rude (lobby bar). We enjoyed our visit because we love the beach so much, but would think twice about returning just because of the smell and humidity in the rooms and the cleanliness of the common area washrooms.

Memories Caribe Beach Resort: Not horrible

Troubles with hot water in bungalows, heard from others they had similar issues. Food was good like any Cuban food. Staff were amazing. Beach is small but very nice. Rooms are a bit out of date and could use some work.
