Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: We’ll be back!

We had heard that there might be food shortages. Certainly didn’t happen at our resort. The food was great and there was plenty of it. The staff were incredibly friendly and couldn’t do enough to assist you in any way. The rooms were clean and very spacious. One could keep as busy or as lazy as one wanted. There were lots of various activities going on all day. The beach was right at the resort and there were always lots of sun cots available. We would definitely return to this resort. Incredi [... read more]ble value for our money. On my return, I will bring more chocolate bars, small toys, personal supplies to leave with the incredible staff.

Paradisus Varadero: Great Resort and Staff

The resort was good and the staff was great. They did what they could for us. The resort is showing wear and tear, but overall was very nice. The beach was the best in Varadero. However when booking, do not book this resort through Sunwing. Complete nightmare

Grand Aston Cayo Las Brujas: It’s fine.

Rooms are clean although our power shut off any time we opened the sliding glass door. Thankfully the mechanic showed us where the panel was so we could fix it ourselves. Grounds were consistently getting worked on while they were there. None of the outdoor showers worked to get the sand off. Not enough chairs anywhere! If you don’t have your towel out by 6am, good luck. Food was blah even for Cuba, no pizza! Talked to people from other resorts who were there at the same time, and it seemed lik [... read more]e this resort specifically lacked a lot, especially when the resort doubled over the weekend. Also having to make reservations at the buffet was ridiculous. Snack bar on adult side closed at 3 (where the servers were amazing tho) and no specialty ala cartes for people with upgraded bands. Bartenders at the main pool were rude. Bartender on the adult only side was a god send and made amazing drinks with the product he has available.

Vila Gale Cayo Santa Maria: Great Last Minute Getaway

We needed to get out of the winter blues and booked this last minute vacation at Grand Sirenis. Beach, pools, and service were amazing. Rooms were ok. The photos online are much nicer than what we had. Our shower in our room leaked. And the bathrooms are open to the room with a water closet. Again, we weren’t there for the rooms, we were there to enjoy the sun and outdoors.

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Great resort!

We really enjoyed our stay. The resort was clean, the food was good, and the staff is truly typical of the Cubans: welcoming and friendly. The performers in the evening shows were just amazing. Some of the best shows I’ve seen in all inclusive resorts.

Sol Palmeras: Perfect trip

First week of Feb 2025 at Sol Palmeras varadero Perfect trip it was for us and my son's family.We were in 2 bungalows ready on arrival 3 hours before check in. So it really start well. Our bungalow was perfect.Large living room with a separate bedroom and big washroom.Clean and no bugs. Strong hot shower.Two working air conditioning. In reviews people do no mention much about the bungalows but they are larger and much interesting than rooms at the hotel.But you have too walk much more.Ou [... read more]r was at the end of the resort which is about 7 to 10 minutes walk to the main hotel and that is why we did not gain weight. Food was good and a lot of diversity. Sunwing flight was perfect and on time. Trip central did a good job like usual.I did book many trips with tripcentral.ca on line without talking to anyone and everything was perfect.(i am not working for them) That beach at Sol Palmeras is fantastic. A few things were not right but it is the nature of travel. Remember to lower expectations because Cuba is not Aruba or Mexico. Hope everybody will have the same experience Dan

Grand Aston Cayo Paredon Beach Resort: Resort was fabulous and the staff

We never had any issues what so ever .. we did do the Jeep Safari excursion and I really recommend it to everyone it was a great experience and learning. You will enjoy every day that you are there i know we did from the beach to the pool and the entertainment at night. There was a fair amount of children but it is family oriented so be prepared as just a couple ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Sanctuary at Grand Memories Varadero: Beautiful resort

It was a wonderful vacation! Beautiful grounds, huge suites, friendly staff & plenty of dining options! Lovely weather! Choice of three pools & amazing beachfront. Adult only resort with option to join the Grand Memories activities & dining. Thoroughly enjoyed this property!

Playa Pesquero: Beautiful beaches!

This my 4th time visiting this resort! The resort is beautiful and well maintained. Gardiners and maintenance staff are out and about trimming bushes and making improvements every day. The beach has calm turquoise water and its perfect to enjoy swimming, snorkeling and water activities. The food has improved since last year, more of a variety. The staff is very friendly! The pool area is clean and they also have water activities available.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Amazing Resort

My brother and I had the pleasure of spending a week at this awesome resort. We can not say enough about how welcome the staff made us feel From check in to check out we were treated like apart of the family Beautiful beaches and pools topped of with amazing a la cartes and entertainment We will definitely be returning.

Aston Costa Verde Beach Resort: Aston Costa Verde Resort

Just returned from a week at Aston Costa Verde Beach Resort. All went well. The resort itself was neat and clean. Our room was clean and everything worked as you would expect. The attendants worked hard each day to clean up the room and provide any necessary items such as water, beer and tp and towels. The food was quite good dispute several warnings from other travellers that Cuba lacked many items. Our resort was always well stocked and the food choices were plentiful. The beach was great [... read more]. Good service on the beach and at the bars near by. Friendly and welcoming bartenders and lots of choice for tropical drinks. The staff throughout the resort were extremely helpful and worked hard to make the experience relaxing and fun. Our only concern for the entire week would be the airline. Late both ways but that is not a reflection of the resort itself. Bring a cushion for your beach lounger!

Vila Gale Cayo Santa Maria: Will be back

People did there best based on the standard Friendly people, the rooms are good Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaffffffffffffffffffffffffffhhhhhhhhhhhh Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjggggggggggggggggggggggg Bbbbbbb

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Beautiful Beaches

We stayed Feb 4-11, 2025. My favorite part was the sun & beaches. Ensenachos beach is very nice but Megano beach was my favorite, lots of variety of seashells, conch shells, starfish, also good for snorkeling. The rooms are dated but clean & the staff are fantastic, always willing to please you. The food at the snack bar & specialty restaurant was good & hot, but even though the buffet had a bigger variety of food, most of it was cold to lukewarm, but they had a microwave to heat it up. I can't  [... read more]remember her name but the waitress that we had every morning & at lunch at the Marino snack bar was so amazing, she definitely deserves a raise. The pools were also very nice & clean. Also most of the rooms electrical outlets were only 220v so you need an adapter.

Sanctuary at Grand Memories Holguin: Great Resort!!

My husband and I just got back from a weeks stay at Sanctuary, we were not sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. We arrived at the resort at around 10.00pm, check-in was a breeze, staff immediately grabbed a luggage cart for us and whisked us to our beautiful room. The food was good, always found something we liked, the al la Cartes, especially the International and Japanese were impressive, really enjoyed!! The drinks, were very good, we loved the Mojito snack shack/bar, and th [... read more]e Social bar, they were our favourites. The grounds were beautiful, and the layout of the resort is really nice and compact, so everywhere is a short walk. The staff here deserve mention, as they are the best. They do their best to make the guests have a great vacation experience.

Playa Pesquero: Excellent Value!

This was our second visit to Playa Pesquero and definitely will not be our last. The property is well maintained, the grounds are beautiful, and the staff is so welcoming. The food was plentiful and delicious. We never wanted for anything. And of course, the beach is amazing. I do not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Roc Barlovento: Amazing Resort

This wasn’t our first time in Cuba but our first time at Roc Barlovento. We pick the Roc because of the great location as you can walk to the markets and bus stops. The staff was truly amazing. Levi and Onix did an amazing job with the entertainment and Junior in the Roc Plus breakfast is such a beautiful soul that he makes you smile. Margarita and the rest of the bar staff really make you feel welcome and aren’t long remembering your order. Our room was always clean and close to everything. The [... read more] food like all of Cuba could be improved upon as there were a few days that they had no bread. But the spaghetti was tasty. We will be going back

Hotel Playa Paraiso: Overall good, but bathrooms need major overhaul

Buffet was decent, but after a few days could be a bit repetitive. Overall the resort was a nice getaway. Good pool, good beach. I saw a stingray, crabs, and a number of kinds of fish while swimming fairly close to shore. Goggles are a must! Lots of friendly cats wandering around the resort that you can befriend while visiting. The room was "cheap motel" quality for the most part. An ok but not great bed, quesetionable freezer, and old furniture. Adequate for a budget vacation, but not luxu [... read more]ry for sure. The worst part of the whole experience was the bathroom. It had quite a bit of water damage, and smelled of mold. I kept the door closed to the washroom to avoid stinking up the rest of the room. If the bathroom was renovated to avoid leaks and mold issues, I wouldn't really have any complaints about the whole experience. Everything else was good enough, considering it isn't a very expensive resort.

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Beautiful Resort

Well staffed with professionals that were attentive, friendly, and a lot of them spoke english very well. This resorts grounds where breath taking. The mature vegetation looked wild and natural (by design) while the other parts where manicured thoughtfully and lovingly by the many gardeners seen on grounds everyday cutting, clipping, pruning the many varieties of bushes, shrubs and trees, as well as collecting the falling coconuts daily to cut open and offer to guests. The beach is shared [... read more] with one other resort and at the Rio de oro end of the beach lay many coconut trees for shade and seemingly endless loungers, the sand is soft beautiful. Part of the beach offers some stone and coral that leads to a costal reef along the small cliff at the edge of the resort that is great for snorkeling or stay near the edge of the beach and play and view many sea creatures and fish in the tidal pools. To the left of the stone and coral is a smooth flat sandy shore line terrific for a dip or take a swim along the entire length of the beach. There are places throughout the resort to lounge with wonderful views as well a a small Garden, a Spa , three other small beaches one of which is very private. You will have no problem finding refreshments with a lobby bar, pool bar, swim up pool bar as well as a bar very near the Beach. There’s a large buffet, four El la carts and a snack bar open 24/7 which serves some good options if you miss the buffet (I liked the pizza) Throughout the day the lobby is relaxed and is a wonderful spot to have a snooze in a comfortable chair out of the direct sun whilst the wind blows through the vegetation around you creating a wonderful sense of peace, or take in your surroundings with friends and family, maybe challenge them to a game of pool on one of the two tables located in the lobby. At night you will find a live show and many guess gather to listen, watch , and take part in the singing and dancing. I loved this resort with its mature landscaping, well kept pool and stunning views of the shoreline and beach.

Grand Aston Cayo Paredon Beach Resort: Great resort

They didn't change the bathroom towels every day, only one time during 7 days, Only replaced water bottle in room once for the entire 7 day stay, had to get water at bar area every time needed but other them that was great hotel

Iberostar Coral Holguin: fantastic trip

As always, the resort was fantastic but it's the staff that make it special from check in to check out from the butlers to the bartenders and support staff already planning our next visit. trip central was also great to deal with and i can't say enough about Air Transat
