Nice Resort

BeLive Los Cactus on Varadero exceeded our expectations. Lovely beach, pleasant room, lovely staff, Attractive grounds. Plenty to occupy us. All service from Sunwing check in in Toronto to flight home went smoothly.

Disappointed

We have been in this resort some years back. We were quite happy then.. this time we were very disappointed. For any request or just casual service they are slow or simply they don’t do it. Obviously they don’t do anything unless you tip them. That’s very disturbing. We were not happy with the room service, not enough towel and toilet paper! The food was the worse since we went to many resorts in Cuba for 20 years.

Third visit to this hotel

staff is friendly and almost every speaks english The grounds are well kept and the property is not big so it is easy to get around. My room was large with a large balcony and had been recently painted with a good air conditioner and tv. No complaints with the food or service The beach is perfect and always chairs available Pool is large ,clean and well maintained. Lots of activities and entertainment. Its a solid 3 star and i would return.

Great resort

We stayed at Turquesa the be live resort that was 4 star, great value great trip! This resort had good buffet options! service was great and our teavel agent from trip central,Marcela was absolutely great and got us a great last minute deal! thank you!

Had a Great 2019 Christmas Vacation

our family of four enjoyed our stay at Be Live Turquesa over the 2019 - 2020 New Years ring in. The white beach and warm ocean water were great. The staff were friendly and attentive. The buffet had a good selection of food; pork dishes were very good, breads were always fresh. The rooms were functional, always enough hot water for a shower. No health / stomach issues from drinking water or ice in drinks.

Excellent Vacation

If you are looking for a small to mid size resort with a beautiful beach and pool area this is for you. I would rate the resort as modest perfection. The beach is the best I have seen anywhere in the world, white powdery sand, beautiful aqua coloured water, spotlessly clean as far as the eye can see. The pool is large and clean, lots of chairs. You can walk the beach for miles. The food is basic but good. I am not a picky eater so there was always lots of choices and you should never go hungry.  [... read more]Bars are nice with all staff going above and beyond. We had a renovated room which was very nice, walk in shower was a nice bonus. All and all one of the best holidays I have ever had (30+ times to the Caribbean.). Please don’t go expecting a “ brass and marble” fancy resort, the excellent staff and beautiful surroundings make the resort special. You can’t walk to town but cabs are right outside the resort, super cheap. Worked with a Cuban connection to arrange a day trip to Havana. Hamlet Gonzalez Denis, he is on Facebook, set us up with a driver/tour guide who spoke English in a mint 57 Chevy, beyond fantastic. All and all a fantastic holiday! Thank you all, we will be back to Cuba as soon as we can save up some pesos!

Beautiful Beach

The resort is a bit dated but the beach is beautiful! We stayed in room 577 and it was decent, definitely not luxury but it was clean and beds were comfy. The pool area was clean and beautiful also. Lots of options for shade at both the pool and beach. The staff were amazing. Rooms on upper levels seem to be better. We had to change rooms for our last night because our air conditioner broke, we were moved to a room on the lower level in the 400 block and it was disgusting! I felt like I was tra [... read more]nsported into a third world country, it was covered in bugs and stunk like mould.

Best Resort in Cuba

This is a great resort! Excellent service, great food and very clean!! Have been going to this Resort for 6 years and would not want to go anywhere else! Thanks to Laura Mulvihill-Spry for her dedication and expertise in providing such impeccable service in making our arrangements!

Wonderful vacation!

While this may be an older outdated resort they do keep it very clean. The staff are fantastic at this resort, probably the best I have ever had. They are very hard working and dedicated. They made me feel so welcome, comfortable and at ease the entire week. The Italian restaurant is a must try - it was so delicious and service was impeccable. All good things to say about this place and I would definitely return!

Horrible resort.

Rooms were very old musty and dirty not maintained. Maid service was very poor, same soiled dirty towels were given back after putting them on the floor to be changed. Rude bartenders in the evening in main lobby bar.

Another Great Trip!

The grounds are beautiful, well kept, and easy to get around. We have been to this small resort four times and love the people there. The rooms are a bit dated, but very clean. The beach is absolutely stunning!

Cozy & Comfortable

This was our second time at this resort and It was as great the second time. The room was spacious, clean and secure. With a resort this small, it was a quick walk to the beach, pool or restaurants. The staff are all extremely friendly and willing to go the extra mile. If you are looking for a quiet place with a beautiful beach and nice pool to relax at, this is the place for you.

Excellent value!

Large, clean, tiled rooms with two double beds. Air conditioning and fridge. The restaurant was very nice, good variety and food cooked at the moment as well as buffet style. Outdoor seating area overlooking the pool. Nightly musical entertainment indoors. Evening entertainment was fabulous! Top ratings! Five stars! Salsa, ballet and aquatic dance shows and music, rock and roll one night and dancing lessons for the guests. The staff were pleasant, smiling and friendly. Most speak sev [... read more]eral languages. The beach is one of the nicest, cleanest I have seen. Beautiful!

Below average

hotel as usual placed me in a very old, damaged room, the next day I moved to a renovated room, this has happened both times I stayed here. The room was not well cleaned. The stairway and halls were very dirty. The walkways are very uneven and the grounds are not very large. The pool is small. Beach is great, but life guards do not pay much attention to people swimming. Food was poor and repetitive. Waiters and waitresses were very good, frinedly I find that the exchange rate is high for qua [... read more]lity of hotels, I tip less as Cuba has become quite expensive. All in all I will certainly never return to this hotel.

Awesome

Hotel was amazing. Everyone was perfect . Rooms,pool, beach were amazing. They make our vacation very good also food was more than good . Service that provide during our trip was perfect as well the parties. People everything was good I suggest for everyone to go there and make their holidays more than awesome The only things that we need that WIFI service in the hotel

Christmas treat!

Best food we have ever had in Cuba! Best evening entertainment we have ever had in Cuba! Zero sarcasm. It was a great way to spend Christmas as a family. Rooms were functional but a bit tired. Pretty certain our comforter spent it’s previous life as a curtain.

Renovated!

I have been here and they have renovated. I stayed in one of the new rooms-so sparkling and clean. A/C worked great. Resort is clean and staff friendly. I travel alone and always am safe. Beach and pool are the best. Food is Cuba but Maria L makes great omelettes and Dorel and Jenny are great servers! Quick with coffee and refills. Not enough red wine at the bars is my only complaint and remember to bring bug spray for the 'no-see-ems'. I would recommend this resort

BELIVE TURQUESA friendly resort

this was our 15th visit to this hotel. Staff are extremely friendly and go out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Food was very good. Rooms are older but clean. Beach was great. Will go back again.

Mrs

The overall experience was great. The flight was direct which is very convenient. The bus was awaiting for us. The guy on the bus was very pushy for the tips. Then on the way back same guy was offering to exchange local Cucs for Canadian bills back for the 1 to 1 rate which is very expressive. At the hotel you can exchange Canadian dollar to local money for 1 Can to their 68 cents. Sunwing representative was giving better rate 1 to 70 cents. The room was clean but smelled like mold a lot. Cond [... read more]itioner worked well. The TV remote control's batteries were dead so we had to change the volume or channels manually. We were given only shampoo and a shower gel no conditioner If it matters to you ladies bring your own hair conditioner to use here. The toilet was flushing only number ones:-)) Food was average. I am a gluten and dairy intolerant so I was harder for me. The cut veggies were not fresh unfortunately. So I avoided fresh veggies for the whole trip. Ate mostly meat and mango. Mango was the tastiest ever eaten. The beach was amazing. Staff was great as well, not pushy for tips. When received tips they were very grateful. We brought some clothing for the staff to give. They were very grateful. So if you have any clothing that you do not wear anymore or your kids grew out of then bring in to lovely staff. We bought a tour form the Sunwing representative. The tour was good. Dolphins were cute, the catamaran was a lot of fun but while snorkeling we barely saw any fish. The last day our towel was stolen from the pool area so keep an eye on your towels as then you have to pay 15 Cucs which is closer to 20 dollars Can. Oh and we did not see any nasty mosquito or any other bugs in the hotel or anywhere around. So no bites!! The entertainment was an average. I wish there was dancing for the guests. Overall I loved vacation. The price we paid and vacation we had was worth going just be prepared.

Average at best

In the tradition and the love 💕 of Cuba the people there are always respectful helpful and courteous however the exterior facilities themselves were not cared for from the cobble stone like interlocking stone walkways making rolling a travel bag a wagon ride The food in the common area was average at best but redeemed itself with the Italian restaurant by appointment only served great dishes . The bars ran out of mojetos by 3pm and most vodkas and wines were out short time later WTF C [... read more]uba with no Mojitos man The rooms were good and kept clean But if the ocean and beach is your reason for the destination OH Man is it worth the sober ness and sh....y food the beach and clear water made it all worth it in the end just next time going to the hotel next door 🚪 sorry
