I knew going in that this was an older hotel, so my expectations weren't high to begin with. However, Mojito still managed to disappoint: -No hot water and no water pressure, and the toilet didn't flush completely. -Food shortages. On various days there were no eggs, no cheese, no butter at the buffet. -Unresponsive Guest Services rep. It took me three days to get a beach towel, which was supposed to be in my room upon arrival. And I was able to get it only because I happened to run into the housekeeping lady (who was charming and very helpful). -Slow, disinterested wait staff in the buffet restaurant. On several occasions I wasn't offered water or coffee until after I'd finished my meal. On the upside, the staff at the Beach Bar were amazing. -Lighting in the room was atrocious. No overhead lights, two small wall lamps on either sides of the bed that were practically useless. There was also a bedside lamp, but when it ws plugged in I couldn't plug my phone in as well, and that was the only outlet in the room, apart from the television.

My room was dated but very clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming. There was a nice variety of food at the buffet, I really enjoyed the pasta bar and variety of seafood. There was pork and chicken options and lots of cooked veggies. Breakfast was delicious with the best sweet rolls I have ever tasted. The Mojito is my go to place in CUBA!

Overall Hotel was good. No real entertainment. All a la carts the same everyday. Food in buffet the same everyday. No hot water . No beach bar open . Snack bar ham and cheese sandwiches.. fries sometimes.. cheese pizza...

Best food and drink I ever had in Cuba. Variety of fresh and flavorful foods and lots of alcohol in stock. Everything is maintained and servers want to do everything to make you happy. Leo Garcias, entertainment staff, told me to vacation here and it was absolutely amazing

I had an amazing week at Hotel Mojito in Cayo Coco, Cuba. The beach is absolutely beautiful, and they have the best coffee I’ve ever had — especially at the lobby bar! ☕ Every single staff member I met was so kind, welcoming, and hardworking — from the bartenders and maids to the lobby, guest services, and animation team. They truly made the resort feel like a warm, happy place. The rooms are clean, the grounds are beautiful. It's an older resort but overall a great value. Thank you to everyone at Hotel Mojito for making this week so special. I’ll definitely be back.

The place in general is very good. It is an old resort but everything is functional and well maintained. What I liked the most was the kindness of its workers, everyone was helpful, friendly, and available to help you with anything you needed. I will go back not only once but as often as I can.

Go at your own risk Never again after getting eaten alive by mosquitoes by the tons day and night making me stay indoors most of the time Pros: short distance from airport and hard working staff working long hours to keep the resort functional...enough food to eat Cons: too many like poor airconditioning in the room,smelly bed sheets and pillows,toilet leaving waste in the bowl,ants,lizards all over,...

My husband and I stayed at the Mojito Jan 24-31, 2024 and although we did experience 2 days without coffee, bread and air conditioning, we really had a great time. This was due to the staff. Yorbelys in the bar was HANDS DOWN the nicest, most friendly bartender we have ever had! He spoke amazing English ( as well as 3 other languages) and was a wealth of information and went over and above in meeting our needs. The island and it's people are struggling , and you can see it in their eyes that when you are disappointed, they are disappointed, as they are TRULY trying their best with the tools they are given. If you are a person who needs a fancy room, and scalding hot showers, then no, this wont be the place for you. But if you want peace and quiet and relaxation, and can deal with minor inconveniences / annoyances and the price is right, then you will be pleased. * There are some dogs there ( including a mom that just had pups) if you can, in your checked baggage bring some kibble or treats, I feel they are relying on scraps, and for me, this was hard to see...

The hotel is very old and not maintained well and is very run down. There is a lack of food and drinks and options in general. I would recommend to go somewhere else if you can. Glad we experienced but will never go back

Beautiful hotel but to much mosquitoes and too much flys in dining room areas even on food.i been second time.Otherwise room service was very good. Everybody was friendly and helpful. Thesort was very clean. I’m recommending and coming back.

All together it's good for money what I pay for. ,.,.................................,,...................... ..,............................................................................................... Thanks

Clean grounds. Planting shurbs, tress and flower beds. Painting exterior of rooms. Hotel is kept clean friendly staff . Great beach . Beach bar offers great food for lunches. Cold beer and drinks. Activities daily.

Perfect size resort, not too big. Could walk everywhere. Freddy’s bar was amazing. Staff were great. I wish they had French fries and more selection of drinks. Older resort but clean. Beach was beautiful

Friendly staff, very clean resort , beautiful beach, great food in a la carte restaurant , and pretty good in buffet style restaurant. It was good selection of alkohol .. Planning to visit Mohito again.

People, what makes this resort to be a special place. We return here year after year to visit our friends who work there. The best part about Mojito is their Entertainment team. They work tirelessly to bring activities, dances, games, to create those special moments for people to remember for years. Food and beach are fantastic!

We visited Mojito a few years ago and sadly, this resort is a shell of its former self. This review is long, but please read through to understand the many downsides to spending your hard earned money on a vacation here.  Property  Gone are the beautiful, pristine grounds and gardens. The grounds are now unkept, tall weeds and grasses growing everywhere. The gardens are in a sad state, barely blooming, lacking their usual fullness.  There are many buildings on the resort that are falling apart, some closed and condemned. Some are used for storage. These are absolute eyesores, combined with piles of garbage and parts of old buildings lying around.  The once beautiful boardwalks are now unsafe. They are rickety and have large gaps, making it impossible to be wheelchair or stroller accessible. They have closed off some entries to the beach, which is good, but maintenance on the entire boardwalk is badly needed. Some areas of the grounds are very unsafe. We mistakenly took a walk in the “backyard” of our suite, which was overgrown with tall grasses and weeds. I was holding my toddler and tripped over a large hole that wasn’t visible to the naked eye. Although this fall knocked the wind out of me, we were fortunate to only walk away with some bruises and scrapes.  And the biggest nuisance of the property is the mosquitoes. They are EVERYWHERE. Expect to get many bites even while wearing bug spray religiously. The worst time is the morning and the mosquitoes will swarm you. My toddler looked like he had chicken pox by the end of the trip. These bites are unfortunate souvenirs that will make the return trip with you and for a couple weeks beyond.  Customer Service The stellar customer service that Mojito once had is nowhere to be found.  The waitstaff are not very attentive and we usually had to call them over to get drinks. They are usually stationed by the center of the dining room, busy chatting to one another. It seems like they have given up and can’t be bothered to do a good job. Can’t blame them in a way, it must be frustrating to see how far gone this resort is.  Food The food was always decent for Cuba standards, but now it lacks variety and quality. The same foods were served at meals, sometimes changing the meat options at dinner.  The meat options were limited, especially at breakfast. Bacon was served once, no sightings of sausage, just a sketchy looking ham.  You can tell they are understaffed at this resort, as it was at least a 20 minute wait time during busy times for the pasta, fried rice or meat stations.  The buffet never opened on time. It was supposed to be 7am for breakfast, 12:30pm for lunch and 6:30pm for dinner. The breakfast buffet was the worst culprit. It typically opened between 7:30 and 7:45, but sometimes closer to 8am. Lunch and dinner were a bit better, usually we waited 15 mins past the expected opening.  The pool and beach bars have sandwiches, fries and pizzas. They did run out of fries for a few days which was unfortunate but almost expected.  For those with young kids, there are no fries or hotdogs served at the buffet (no hotdogs at the bars either). Options are very limited for the youngins.  There are no places to buy snacks at this resort, but luckily we packed just enough for our week.  Room We stayed in a “Superior Suite” that had two queen beds and a large balcony. The rooms are quite dated, but we expected that going in. There was nothing really “superior” about this suite except for the balcony which we enjoyed, until the mosquitoes came out at dusk. The room was actually a bit small, but the balcony made up for it.  We didn’t have hot water for showers for a couple days which was a shame. There are no plugs for baths, so young children may experience their first showers.  We didn’t receive water or beer daily in our mini fridge. A couple times we needed to ask our maid. The last two days we only received 2 small water bottles and that is not enough for a family of 4. We bought large water bottles at the store for $2 each on a few occasions.  And if you’re lucky you may have some cockroach visitors like our relative in another building did.  Capacity The resort was not busy at all, maybe at half capacity. This turned out to be one of two bright spots of the trip. We typically had the pool to ourselves in the morning and the beach was not busy come 1:30-2pm.  People are not flocking to this resort and it’s obvious why.  Beach/Pools The stunning beach and beautiful pools were the  second bright spot of our time at Mojito. The beach is just as amazing as I remember, although definitely more shells and coral on the sand and in the water. We don’t mind at all since we enjoy collecting these.  The pools were always clean but do watch out for the kiddie pool. There’s lots of mosquitoes around there because of the proximity to sitting water.  VIP package  Don’t bother upgrading to this package. You do not receive much of the benefits at all. Case in point: • Welcome Cocktail - NO?• Refreshing, cold towel service upon arrival - NO?• Express check in - NO?• Upgraded room (Subject to availability) - YES?• Fully daily stocked mini bar with the best Cuban brands (will be replaced according consumption) including a bottle of rum - NO (we did receive our bottle mid way through the week)?• Full amenities kit and coffee maker - YES?• Beach towel in room upon arrival - YES?• 1 Gala dinner during the stay with lobster (minimum 7 days stay - Reservation required) - NO?• 2 reservations at the a la carte restaurants during the stay - YES?• Nightly turn-down service - NO?• Late check-out (subject to availability) - N/A Airport Flying out of the Cayo Coco airport (Jardines Del Rey) to return home was the absolute worst experience.  It seems like it’s the norm as we had a relative leave on a later (9:30pm) flight and they experienced the same as we did.  This airport must be very understaffed. There is no one directing traffic, lines are constantly being butted and there were only 2 lines to get your Visa checked and pass through security. As you can surmise, this contributed to EXTREMELY LONG and utterly ridiculous wait times through all the different checkpoints.  We arrived at the airport at 8:40am for our 11:05am flight. We got off the bus and ended up waiting 45 mins in line to enter the airport. For some reason Air Transat fliers were escorted directly into the airport as soon as they got off the bus. We were flying Sunwing and our reps didn’t seem to care that we were stuck outside. Once in the airport, we waited in line close to an hour check in. It was extremely hot in the airport and uncomfortable. Next up was security. After we passed the doors we could hear announcements but couldn’t understand what was being said. Two people I recognized from our incoming flight started talking to security staff and told them it was “last call” to board. Security immediately let them through. We approached the same staff and they were hesitant to let us through (possibly a language barrier). Even those waiting in line didn’t want to let us go ahead. Lots of eye rolling and refusal to let us pass.  Finally we got let through and ran to the gate, with two tired kids in tow. For whatever reason, the gate attendant wouldn’t let us through right away. She kept scanning our boarding passes, not explaining what the problem was. She called for assistance and at long last they allowed us to run to our plane.  At 11:01am, we finally boarded with a couple minutes to spare. We had no drinks or only a couple snacks packed away. The buffet at the resort hadn’t opened before we left and we intended on having breakfast at the airport.  Needless to say we were shocked by the events that transpired and equally as disappointed. It is absolute insanity to expect people (especially those who have young children like us) to endure an extremely long wait time and be treated the way we were. There is NO reason to almost miss your flight when you arrive almost 2 1/2 hours prior. We will NEVER fly to Cayo Coco again.  Please believe the bad reviews. They look mixed but I wish I took the bad reviews more seriously. I don’t know how anyone could give this resort a 4 or 5 star. There’s a reason why the resort is not at full capacity. Spend your money on Dominican or Mexico.  We will never return to Cuba and it’s very unlikely we will ever fly Sunwing again. 

I’ve been to Cuba a handful of times now so my expectations weren’t crazy high, but this resort is one that I will not return to. The staff is great, though half of them stood around on their phones everywhere we went, the beach was beautiful and the man at the beach bar was fantastic (he even helped me when I got stung by a jellyfish). The food was particularly disappointing at this one. There wasn’t much variety and it was the exact same every day. We also all got incredibly sick from it. We had absolutely no hot water in our room for the entire week. No variety of drinks other than beer, scotch and vodka. Only mix was cola for the first day or two. The bugs were bad which is probably the time of year we arrived(November) so maybe avoid their non-winter months. Obviously there were tons of jelly fish in the water this time of year as well. The front desk staff also weren’t very friendly. The a la carts filled up quickly and were basically the buffet food plated nicely. Otherwise it was great

Although a lot staff has changed we still feel like home when we are at the Mojito. Great to see some of the older staff. They make it worth while. The newer staff however, needs more training in hospitality and English. Food & drinks are limited as it is in the rest of Cuba. Beautiful weather & beach made for a great vacation.

Last minute decision to vacation and couldn't have picked a better resort. Grounds /pools/hot tub and our room was spotless everyday. Service impeccable. Staff was fabulous cannot wait to return! Freddies cigar liunge was amazing and comfortable. Hotel located approximately 20 mins from airport. Sunwing flight was great!

The rooms needs updating, quite a lot of cracks around doors, bugs can enter, otherwise rooms were clean, staff were always nice and friendly,shows were good, but need to start around 9:00 not 9:30, noticed a lot of people were leaving before 9:30

This hotel is dated however, it is kept very clean and the grounds are meticulous! The staff are outstanding. In the 12 years we have been going to Cuba, this is honestly one of the best resorts as far as staffing goes. Doesn't matter how crazy busy it gets, the staff are always smiling and always there to take care of you. The beach is amazing!!! The water is definitely gorgeous! The beach is always clean and there are always palapas available.

Not a bad resort for the money, nice beach, average pools, great staff, food was basic. Lost the power a few times but came back on in a minute or so. long walk to the beach, Mosquitoes around at night, take bug spray. Mojito is a 6 1/2 out of 10

To start the check-in was good and the room was reasonable by Cuba standards. The first few days food was very slim. I do understand the resort was at low occupancy. As the week progressed the food got decent as more people were checked in. It was interesting to see the different workers would either favor Cubans or dismiss Cubans as customers. The biggest note to me was the store in the hotel, prices were twice as much as a tourist than they are as a Cuban. When I brought that up to the storekeeper they said it was only honest mistake ( it was obviously not a mistake). I also noticed that The storekeeper was accepting cash which in my understanding is not permitted in Cuba. If you're at any store in any hotel or outside always get an itemized invoice and it's better to pay with credit card. When this was brought up to customer service they said sorry and nothing was done. In other hotels that this has happened and I have told customer service they have done something. Overall I would not suggest this hotel

I enjoyed my stay its a great place to relax. Its a huge resort and could easily find a quiet spot all to yourself as this place is catered to mostly older folks the staff is very friendly entertainment here is not the best The cleaning ladies were awesome as the room was always super clean and the service at the buffet is very very slow as it seems that they don't really care for their job as I often had to beg repeatedly for drinks at the table. I would ask for a glass of wine as soon as I arrived at the table and usually get it as I was leaving if lucky

Nice little resort, perfect for relaxing vacation, not so much a party place. There is just a right amount of everything. Great people, great service, decent accommodation, beautiful beach, clean pools, decent selection of beverages….. If you are looking for a big place with a lot of people partying 24/7, than this is not your place. If you are looking for a place to have a nice and relaxing vacation with fantastic service by the fantastic people, a place where you will feel like at home away from home, than this is the right place for you. We found our place and we will be coming back to Mojito, hopefully for many more years to come.

Nice hotel, love the weather walking distance to the beach, my only complaint is the local shops in and around the hotel are overpriced. Other than that it is a great getaway from Canada's harsh winter and I would totally recommend this resort or Cayo Coco in general.

Mojito is a small resort that is staffed by absolutely amazing people...this is why we return over and over! After a long 3 years away due to COVID I was finally able to return for 3 weeks this November. The first thing I noticed was all the hard work the staff did during the COVID period to refresh and improve the surroundings - freshly painted buildings, the addition of a spa tub, extensive gardening etc. - the pride the staff take in their resort is evident everywhere. There are still many shortages in Cuba for a variety of reasons, however the staff are masters at overcoming obstacles and adversity! No ingredients for this salad - another type is created. No supply of some types of liquor or mix - fancy and tasty new drinks created. I cannot say enough about the adaptability and willingness to please that I experienced. I also did not feel that shortages affected the enjoyment in any way....and I certainly didn't go hungry! When visiting the Mojito I think it's important to understand/remember that this is not a 5 star resort - and it is unfair to expect 5 star amenities. The rooms could use some refreshing however they are immaculately clean and inviting. The buffet is extensive and filled with good food - but lobster and steak are not the norm...and realistically a gourmand would not choose Cuba as a vacation destination. The Mojito is a hotel where you will be treated as a valued guest and staff go out of their way to make your stay memorable....a place where you will make friends among the staff, meet great fellow guests...and most importantly enjoy the beauty that is Cuba and the Cuban people.

the beach area is not equipped - there are no beach umbrellas. the restaurant has no napkins and not enough food. the beach area is not equipped - there are no beach umbrellas. the restaurant has no napkins and not enough food.

I am a repeat client to this resort. Mojito ne er dissapoints. Clean, welcoming with the best staff around. Will be returning again. Minutes from the airport, great market walking distance away. A la carte restaurant, pizza bar....

Hotel mojito is amazing the staff make this place great. They go beyond to make u smile and be comfortable. I will definitely go there again for the people and staff of mojito. They were always smiling and so nice to my kids. Always helpful. I've traveled quite a bit and never experienxe such kindness

THIS WAS OUR 4TH TIME STAYING AT THE MOJITO- THE STAFF CONTINUES TO PROVIDE A WARM AND SAFE AND FUN VACATION. WE LOVE THE MOJITO! SPECIAL PLACE AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACH! SPECIAL THANKS TO MILLY, DAYA AND DANGER OF THE ENTERTAINMENT CREW- CHICKO IN THE FRONT LOBBY- SERVES THE BEST COFFEE AND SMILE. AND AXEL AT THE POOL BAR-

My husband and I stayed at the Mojito March 18-25th. We have been to this resort many times and we can’t say enough for the hard working and resilient Cubans who work here. The grounds are lovely. The food was great with a nice selection of cold cuts, cheeses, fruits and vegetables and fresh baked bread and sweet cakes daily. Covid has played a significant role in the decline of Canadian tourists so to offset costs there were many Cuban families enjoying the resort. It was nice to see children, parents and grandparents together. Everyone was very respectful and we were treated well by tourists and staff. There was a supply chain issue where there wasn’t any milk for coffee for 24 hours but not an issue for us. A Good Samaritan procured milk from another resort for the little ones.. Our room was pristine with a very comfortable bed. The housekeepers work very hard at this place and their workload is heavy. The main lounge had great drinks and nightly entertainment that was relaxing… so much talent. The pools are clean and well maintained.. The beach is pristine and the beach bar is fun.. We didn’t do the a la carts but heard from others that they were very classy and the food was wonderful. Covid protocol was in effect and all employees were masked as well as most tourists. Hand sanitizers were all over the resort. Don’t hesitate to go to the Mojito for relaxation, great food and nice hospitality. We felt very safe, people are wonderful and hopefully you will return again and again. Cuban banks don’t accept coins so please tip generously.

If vacation means quiet relaxing, enjoying the pool or beach and meeting fun people - you will enjoy the Iberostar Mojito. This is an older hotel - but well maintained. Staff are amazing and will gladly go out of their way to help you no matter what your needs. Food service is not fancy - with several options - but I prefer the buffet - always something delicious there. Food is available 24 hours a day except in low season - drinks are always available in a variety of locations. The Mojito may not be the fanciest or most up to date hotel in Caya Coco - but if you want to relax - meet great people and enjoy beautiful Cuba - you may find the price and this hotel is just for you.

all was very good except for a lack of washrooms around pools- rooms & grounds very well kept staff very friendly-good activities for our grand kids -food was good breakfast especially-fruit was somewhat scarce

We had an amazing time! Staff was super friendly and helpful! Rooms were nice and the resort is clean and absolutely beautiful! Food was really good and drinks were always cold!! We did a few excursions off the resort and found everyone very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful week!!

I enjoyed our stay at this resort the staff was very friendly. The rooms were quite nice and clean. The beach was gorgeous and lots of access to lounge chairs. They had good burgers and fries at the beach restaurant and yummy pizza at the 24 hour bar. Only 10-15 minutes from the airport.

I may be dating myself with this reference, but this resort is a special place for those that find it special - like the bar, Cheers, in the TV Show, where everyone knows your name. To see so many people return again for another stay at their "Cuban Home" is to appreciate the feel of the resort. This was the second time that we stayed at the Mojito, the first time was six years ago .. and you can see the changes that time and a destructive wind event had upon the grounds and structures. But that didn't change the essential feel of the place - the food was good, by Cuban standards, the beach is still amazing - and this smaller resort is easily navigated and visually interesting. A couple that we met on the beach summed it up nicely when they said that this is the hidden gem of Cayo Coco ... they're probably right.

2/3 of resort closed from hurricane damage several years ago...resort consists of a central core restored to a minimum acceptable standard. food okay, service when required was excellent. standard rooms are not well appointed.

My sister and I just returned from the resort Feb 13. It was beautiful. Both of us have been to Cuba many times. We cannot say enough about the staff. Chicio(Alexander) at the lobby bar remembered what we liked after one day. The grill guys were marvelous. Tasty omelets and grilled fish. And the pasta bar always great. This was the first Cuban resort that had creme caramel as dessert. My favorite thing was not having to race for chairs at either the beach or the pools. BTW there was an adult only pool. I was sorry for the staff that they seemed lightly booked but we loved it. The "superior" rooms were well stocked with amenities drinks and beach towels. Look for the churo cart by pool restaurant in the afternoon.

This resort is an awesome place for vacation, the rooms are in need of a bit of updating but are very clean, the food is awesome, lots of choices and the dessert bar is fabulous (love the Cuban Ice-cream) The beach is a wee bit of a distance to walk to over a bridge, however when you arrive it is so amazing, lots of space on the beach and you can walk for ever! Tons of space! Love the Staff at the Bar in the Lobby, especially - Guillermo (my love)!, Lixander, Aloin and Luis, they are all so much fun and so attentive to your needs, we had such a laugh with them and they are so polite and just a joy to be around! This Vacation was so awesome - had an amazing time!

Traveled to Cayo Coco from Dec 24-31, 2019. We are booked into a superior room, and the original room given, rm# 2214, had no electrical sockets that worked, TV didn't work, toilet flushed slowly, no toilet paper and empty mini fridge except for 1 bottle of water. There are not enough drawers for our clothes. I killed a big cockroach the very first night, so I had to make sure our bags were all zipped up. I thought I could just get someone to fix all these the next day. By morning, I had to move to a new room! I tried to call front desk but no answer so I walked over and asked for a room change. I was told to wait for 20 minutes, but 3 hours later waiting in the room and still no one showed up. After 4 and a half hours of going back and forth to front desk, I finally told them I had a sick kid who needed to get some rest in a proper room was I able to get the key to move. The new room provided was great because everything was working!!! So my question is that if there was a room available that was fixed up, why give me a room that wasn't ready for occupancy in the first place?? The christmas eve food spread was ok. There was lobster, but that's the only thing to mention. The rest of the week was the same food. I have been to Cuba and know what to expect, but this time it was just way below the threshold of acceptable. There are a handful of people to give credit here: Leidys, Maidel, beach bar Roberto, morning server at the lobby bar and the lady server by the pool restaurant who always had a smile. I also have to mention that the onsite staff nurse was incredibly compassionate. With 2 girls sick at the beginning of our vacation, she was always checking on them, even came to our room the next evening to make sure the girls were ok. Cayo Coco is a beautiful beach, but I don't think I'll be staying at this resort again.

We had the most amazing family Christmas vacation . Everything was good the food the people the entertainment and the rooms . No complaints . This was our first time in Cuba and I am glad I made the right choice and picked mojito

Everything about this resort is wonderful. The beach, the gardens, the pools, the food and most of all, the lovely Cubans who are so kind and helpful. Our room was spacious and very clean thanks to the hardworking chambermaids. It was an amazing trip!

Fabulous resort with gorgeous beach, lovely pool and grounds and very friendly staff. Stayed here twice now and will definitely be back! Rooms are very large and clean. Wonderful value for the money.

The room was awesome. No musty smell great air conditioning. The beds were the mist comfortable beds I have ever slept in. The room was very large and all new furniture. Food was ok great breakfasts and snack bar food at lunch time. Staff amazing and the resort has many repeat guests Beach was awesome

Yes, it was great times with my grandaughter..food, place was clean. .the entertainment was fantastic ..would go back again..thanks..very friendly😀💕 This was a great resort...that's it..?..........................................

We stayed for 1 week and had a great time! If hot is what you're looking for you've found it. Staff are great, helpful and friendly. If I had a complaint it would be the mosquitos! They should put up zappers or something.... I dunno what but seriously bad mosquitos! Otherwise loved it! We'll be back 👍😊

What a nice hotel. We enjoyed the whole resort. We were last here in the fall of 2015. We will be coming back again. Our room was nice. We had a view of the ocean and the Adult pool. The food and drinks were great. We can't say enough about this place.

Good times, Great viewing, Super Services and Yummy food and drinks. Only one problem, I am a disabled person and the only room left was on the 3 floor. The hotel and beach made up for it. We had a superb stay and look forward to our next visit, maybe on the 1st floor. THANK YOU AND ALL WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE.

This was our 3rd year visiting The Mojito . The staff are great here and have kept us coming back . However , this year the Buffett was lacking in the server area . Also staff has been cut in the lobby bar , we always tip but most of the time we had to line up at the bar. Not the servers fault , only had one on for a full packed lobby !

trip was amazing staff very nice food great weather great beach beautiful the staff made my trip they were their to please. would recommend to everyone great for kids and a adult pool to get away from kids .room was great big king size bed maid came same time every day bar fridge stocked every day need extra water or beer they would be pleased to help

11 of us stayed at the Iberostar Mojito from March 31 - April 7, 2019 Our stay was pleasant. Still in my head the breathtaking white sand beach view and friendly, Happy Cuban staff at the resort. Most of all the best testy drink Mojito :) Hurricane destroyed a lot but Cuban people built up so fast and beautifully. This resort is good for who has a younger children and accompanied elderly person because everything's close by in very short walking distance. I had a wonderful vacation and definitely going back there soon ;) Inga Toronto, On

I have been to many, many resorts in the Caribbean and to Cuba 5 times. The food was not as repetitive at this Cuban resort and every night a different featured meat or poultry, fish at the Buffet. For example they had a turkey, roast beef, salmon and pork loin on the 4 nights we attended. In addition made to order pasta and grilled meats. The food at this resort was not as bland as most in Cuba. One complaint I had was the breakfast pastries and bread were not always fresh and not a big variety. I would also liked to have seen more outdoor BBQs, only one the whole week. The bartender, cook and guy who cleaned at the Beach Snack Bar were fabulous. They went above and beyond to provide excellent service. The rooms are large and very clean. They are currently upgrading the rooms and for the price we paid for the vacation were a very good deal. The alcoholic drinks were okay but often were out of certain liqueurs and it was challenging getting sparkling water although certain bartenders always had it when we showed up at the swim up bar. They were fantastic bartenders and put up with a lot from some of the tourists. We tipped the staff at the resort well because they deserve it. I was really annoyed at people who never tipped. Really? If you can afford to go on vacation you can afford to tip. Quit being so cheap people the Cubans go above and beyond to please you! Iberostar needs to upgrade the swim up bar it is just too small. On the other hand the beach is outstanding and we went down daily. Always lots of chairs. All in all I would highly recommend this resort for value for the dollars we paid. We are seriously considering going back next year.

The Iberostar Mojito is just as beautiful as I remembered from my last trip in 2012. Everything was perfect! Our only issue was that we booked and paid for a superior room but were given a regular room. There really wasn't anything wrong with the regular room and would have stayed put, but we had paid $150 more for the upgraded room. After a day and half we got moved to the room we paid for. I have to mention that my friend left her rings in her safe when they changed rooms and the maid returned them to the front desk. We were very impressed with her honesty. ( I've had stuff stolen from a resort in Varadero before ) All the staff here are wonderful and so very friendly. I would definitely return!

No bad things to say about this resort. The food was pretty good...something for everyone...the rooms were very clean and comfortable. The beach was lovely with a lot of palapas. The adult pool had a self serve non alcoholic bar which was lovely. Nightly entertainment was wonderful.....lots of activities for the kids. The only negative was the Canadian dollar suffered big time..after the resort took its 5% cut our dollar came out with only 0.67 cents. We were treated very well at this resort...the people make it so easy to fall in love with Cuba!!

I loved the Iberostar Mojito Hotel, we were there for a 2 week Vacation. The resort was very clean and the staff were super friendly, there were always activities to play, or you could just relax, I would recommend this Resort to everyone, we loved it.

First time in Cayo Coco and we enjoyed many different aspects of this trip. We did horse back riding in which they accommodated 8 of us which was in our group and that was slot of fun. Got nice pics on the beach with our horses! We did snorkeling which was a lot of fun. Alot of fish - was a good excursion! Great entertainment ! Good food and service!! Beautiful beach- amazing !! Would go back. Would recommend this to friends and family.

We were a group of 8 travelling during March Break which consisted of 2 adults and 8 teens. They put us in 3 rooms next door to each other which was appreciated. We had an amazing time. The most amazing beach and sand. The hotel was very clean and our room was spacious. Only downside were the European guests. They were pushy and rude and will steal your reserved lounge chairs.

The Iberostar Mojito is stellar!! This is a beautiful resort with clean, comfortable rooms, good food, lovely paths for travellers to find their way to any one of their shaded 4 swimming pools, all of which are surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Their hardworking staff are sweet, kind and always have a smile to share whether they are housekeepers, bartenders, servers, landscapers, etc. The beach is stunning! Beautiful sunrises, lazy afternoons, with a great seafood restaurant just a short walk down the beach. A great vacation for the books at a reasonble price.

Everything about this place was excellent. Food was decent. ... resourt was well laid out...service was good ..... place was very clean... beach is a world class 5 star beach. Close too airport.. had the best week ever in Cuba. I highly recommend this resourt

One of the most beautiful beach in the world, well kept grounds, Food is fair, staff is very helpfully and happy to be there. The night shows are exceptionally talented.I also enjoyed the kids show, this lady realy does a tremendous job with kids!

We were there in February for Valentines Day. The grounds are well kept and friendly staff. The food was good. We had a chance to experience their Cuban Day where they serve lunch close to the pool. There was music and dancing and the food was amazing. The rooms were clean and again the staff was great. The entertainment is where improvement is needed. In the past we had a variety of singers on different nights but this year we had the same ones . They are ok but more variety would be appreciated. The beach is amazing with lots of places for shade if needed. Chairs were always available. Overall we had a great time and we will be returning for sure.

Hotel was a bit disappointing....the food I was not impressed with at all, every day it seemed the buffet was cold ....hot table wise,service again disappointing....all n all , not worth the money paid

Just got back from an 11 day holiday at this resort on Feb 13,2019. Went there because of the positive reviews and was hopeful that it was a wise pick. Well must say that it was indeed a great place to stay. Beach is amazing and resort is just the right size. Food was repetitive but good each day. We stayed in the bungalows in block 22 and that was the right choice for s few extra dollars. Comfortable beds and alway nice hot water and privacy as well. This is not a party resort and it is very civilized and laid back. Staff were good, obviously some more than others. Roberto at the beach bar was always friendly and gave a handshake everyday. Honestly for the value it was perfect, albeit the resort was a bit rough in places (such as concrete walkways) but everything else was fine and we really enjoyed this place. Built in 2001, so if your expecting perfection, go to a new resort but if you want value, a great beach and relaxation ... just book this resort and you won’t be disappointed. It exceeded our expectations in many ways and nothing to say in the negative.

The beach was amazing, windy, blue chairs very dated, white chairs looked new. Spent very little time around the pool and did not swim in it, brand new chairs there. Rooms were dated but clean, toilet ran. The maid service was not up to par, our towels may have been changed once in our 7 days and sheets never. 1st day we returned from the beach at suppertime and no maid even came to make up our room. The next day we had to ask a few times, wasn't done until after 4 pm. Buffet was good, but food is repetitive, staff were attentive especially in the mornings and lunch, not too busy either. A la cartes were really good, Gourmet and Cuban my favorite and excellent service. Was not impressed with the service at the lobby bar. I always tip but not when they ignore you, felt that way most times there.We noticed some of the Cubans receiving premium alcohol that had not upgraded to the premium, but when we asked were told it was not for us. The service and food in the snack bar was good, very busy. Bar tender was good there. We did enjoy ourselves at this resort and were stuffed after every meal, We have been to Cuba several times over the past 4 years and love this country. We will be back, but probably not to this one unless the price is really good. This is the 2nd Iberostar we have been to in the past 6 months and thought they offered a little more. I would rate this resort as a 3 - 3.5.

Fantastic beach windy, rooms dated towels and sheets changed maybe once don,t get room near pool very noisy all night from 24 hour snack bar bldg. 16 especially. alacartes surprisingly good gourmet and Cuban are the best, Italian so so, Bar service at main lounge so so some of the bartenders look right through as if you don,t even exist didn't seem to mind giving their cuban friends premium drinks even if they didn't have a premium bracelet seen more than one occasion wasn't the only one who noticed so I tipped accordingly some were decent buffet was okay food good but very repetitive overall a clean 3.5 star resort

We enjoyed staying at this hotel. Nice rooms (rain shower head and good patio door locking system). Food was good - good selection of salad bar items, carving station at dinner, pasta bar, stir fry at dinner... Snacks were somewhat limited in choice between meals but pizza was tasty. Lobby area nice (would prefer non-smoking area but that's hard to come by in Cuba lol). Cigar lounge was enjoyable with Freddie the bartender looking after us well and a fun band. Activities staff kept us busy playing games. Longer walk to beach (but we knew that when we booked). Excellent availability of chairs at pool and beach. Lots of palapas at beach, less shade options at the pool. Great staff overall.

Iberostar Mojito is an excellent resort in many ways. The beach is second to none,the staff friendly and the tourists who frequent this resort seem to enjoy themselves more than the 35 other resorts we have stayed in. The nightly entertainment in the lobby is varied and really exceptional. We enjoyed many dances to the different musicians who entertained everyone. The staff who ran the evening children show were very impressive and the children and their parents were fun to watch. The grounds are well groomed,the rooms dated but clean and the food good. Do not miss the bar-be-cue held once a week at lunch time just pass the pools. The staff work hard to organize that event. If you like to meet good people this is the resort for you. Enjoy.

Check in was efficient and although we did not get help with bags we managed. Upper floors are all stairs so anyone with mobility issues should get ground floor. Our Superior room in 2220 was dark and filled with ants so we moved to standard room in building 21. Much better clean and bright but no balcony. Adult pool is close to Building 21 and the gym, tennis courts are also close to Building 21. Buffet food was much the same each day. Omelette station for breakfast and meat grilling in evening were our go tos. As well as pasta bar. Salad bar lacked greens and many premade salads were not to my liking. I am not a picky eater but it was hard to make a salad to enjoy. Suspected drinks watered down as hubby drinks whisky on ice and had only one day he felt like he was affected. mixes are not of great quality so hard to get nice cocktails. Wine was a Spanish poor quality so I bought wine in buffet for 5CUC. White Russian was a good drink. Mojito was not good. No fresh limes. Pool and beach areas had many chairs nor need to save/ Beach quite a walk from main resort area. No A La carte reservations available during our stay so sadly cannot comment.

Check in was efficient but not baggage assistance available right away so we took our own. No elevators so if you have a third floor room heavy luggage could be problem with lots of stairs. Room was spacious and clean. Mini fridge in room and hairdryer but no coffee makers and no irons in room. No patios but windows open wide to bring fresh breezes in if you like this. Safe was easy to set and use. Water was mostly hot but depending upon time of day you might run out quickly. no facial tissues in rooms. no pens or paper. Pools were not too busy never needed to save chairs and there was an adult pool for a quieter lounge. Pool bar and snacks 24 hrs consisted of pizza, fries and grilled cheese made to order. buffet was the same most days. greens on salad bar not common. many pickled items and premade salads catering to European clientele.I did not enjoy most of ths and I am not a picky eater by any means. Drinks were poor quality. Mixes not up to my standards. No fresh limes. mojitos were lacking minty flavour like the mint was not fresh. wine was Spanish and not very palatable but you can buy a Chilean wine in Buffet for 5CUC so I did this and was happy. A la Carte was unavailable for the four in our family during our stay so cannot comment. Overall would give this resort a 3/5 for sun, sand and expectations for cheap price.

The Mojito is a small resort filled with wonderful staff! If you are looking for 5 star accommodations and food - the Mojito is NOT for you! If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere, super friendly and helpful people, clean basic rooms and a variety of tasty basic food....the Iberostar Mojito is for you! Beautiful beach, multiple pools, programs for children and multiple choices of restaurants. You will find that many of your fellow vacationers have been returning to the Mojito year after year...because of the caring staff.

Beautiful pool areas and beach. Entertainment each night was fabulous. Staff are very friendly. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Very attractive resort. Close to airport. Since hurricane in 2017 dining/restaurant choices are limited. The Malicon restaurant had wonderful food and service.

There where 11 of us in total all arriving and leaving on different days. The staff are so amazing always smiling and making everyone feel welcome. The rooms a commen areas where clean. Food was ok loved the alacarts, we never went hungry. Different choices for drinks, Freddy was great at the cigar bar and he also new so much history about the resort. Pool area and beach where clean and tidy. Great place 👏

I have stayed at this resort numerous times and this time was great again... There were a couple problems... Cigar bar still not opened... Al LA care at capacity every night... Power outage in Cayo Coco fir day and half... But overall great time

The hotel was very clean, hotel staff arranges your bed spread differently for every day of your stay! WiFi is only available in the lobby and you have to pay 1 peso or 1.25 american hourly. I would revisit this resort

I think this resort is exelent for recharging mental energy for people who must sosialise every day with huge amount of people, customers etc. Exelnt nature friendly personal and exelent service will satisfie you.For people who would like to discover something around there are interesting adventures.

Food: This is my third time at a Cuba all inclusive and Mojito has the best food yet! Of course I recommend that the earlier you arrive for each buffet meal the better. Breakfast had an egg station, lunch and dinner had meat stations and a really delicious pasta station where they make/cook it to your preference in front of you! (Make sure to bring a tip if you take advantage!) Snack bar was open every day an hour later than advertised but the pizza and fries were awesome. We tried the International, Gourmet and Italian a-la-cartes and they were all pretty good with great options. Unfortunately they had no champagne throughout our stay but we enjoyed the bars thoroughly! Rooms: We were unexpectedly upgraded to one of the "22" rooms upon arrival and it was perfect. Not an awesome view (because of the tornado), but the porch was spacious, the beds were pretty soft and the room was quite clean with barely any bugs! (the occasional harmless ant or spider) Grounds/Facilities: Really impressive since the hurricane was only a year ago! Pool is really beautiful and clean, they also had a nice disco, gym, cigar shop, gift shop and beach bar. Staff: Most staff were absolutely awesome, the best service i've gotten in Cuba so far! Service in the buffet, lobby and beach bars, and a-la-cartes was excellent. Service at the pool snack bar was confusing and sometimes not great. Initially I attempted to order up at the counter but was told to go back and wait at a table for a server to take my order. I sat and waited for about half an hour, so I went back to the counter to ask about it and was told my order was already put in! Obviously not as I waited another twenty minutes for it to be brought. Other than that particular instance I found that service is much slower during busy times like lunch (awesome at night!), there seems to be a couple staff working there that have a bit of an off putting attitude. Beach: Beautiful, long and white. Tons of palapas, warm shallow turquoise ocean. Absolutely gorgeous. Other: Mojito is super close to the airport so we were the first stop on the bus route. Quick check in and greeted by cocktails, shuttle to room. Didn't go to any shows but passed by a really impressive dance performance in the lobby one night. Overall the most "not sick" i've ever felt in Cuba which is notable! Be sure to bring enough cash for the week as there are no ATMs at the hotel (bank at the market 5mins walk away, they also have ceasers there!), they can exchange it for you at the front desk. Please tip! These lovely people definitely need that 1CUP a lot more that you do! Unfortunately during our stay we witnessed quite a few Europeans be very curt and blatantly rude with the staff, never tipping! It was all very upsetting to watch.

we were there in January 2018...right after the devastating hurricane every day, the workers were replanting gardens, clearing debris, and refurbishing rooms compared to other hotels on the beach, the work that had already been completed was mind boggling the restaurants hadn`t all been rebuilt, nor the cigar lounge the staff was great, as Cubans are the food was good and varied the pools (2) were refreshing the entertainment was good there was always someone performing in the lobby every night

We had a nice time in this hotel, it has a wonderful beach, the room are cleaned every day very well, service is good, they reply fast to all inquiries, I would come back here again, highly recommend!

The hotel is okay and the beach is too far but very nice and didnt like the music playing on the beach all the time The staff was very friendly and the mosguitos or whatever small flies attacked all of us The food was okay nothing special and there is nothing to see on this island

Public area, restaurants, beach, rooms, they was clean and organize.service from personnel was very good . we see that they need improvement in landscaping and to disinfect areas in resort to minimize flies and mosquitos. pools clean and other services was open with full assistance.

every thing was nice except they need to disinfect areas outside for flies and mosquitos. rooms large and clean, service so nice beach clean and good service from bar snack pools nice and in good conditions, they need more improvements on landscaping areas inside resort.

My daughter and I stayed at the resort on April 20 for a week. The resort is very clean and our room was very spacious! We really enjoyed the shows every night and all the beautiful, colourful costumes and the tempo. Just made you want to dance all the time!! The food was good but, they just need to give a little more variety. Even though part of the resort was damaged by the hurricane, the resort is very well maintained and the staff are wonderful and happy people! We would definitely return to this resort! Viva Cuba!

Maybe a little old but charming. What makes the magic of the Mojito is the employees, the cleanliness, the new and large beach with more than fifty palapas and a new snack bar and bar with toilets. The bedrooms would need love but we stay most of the time outside... Actually, they are changing the mattresses and it will be perfect. The best food of all Cayo Coco, the master chef is present at every meal and makes sure everything is under control. The staff at the front desk, bar, dining room and all over the site are friendly, considerate and very approachable. This was a 9th time for me and I will definitely return.

After 9 time in this resort , it is always beautiful. The team is wonderful always ready to answer your question.or making joke with us. The resort has a beautiful adult pool. It is quiet and relaxing.

We visited the Iberostar Mojito from March 21 - 28th for my daughter's 30th birthday. The resort was just the perfect size for us - not too small or too big. They were still working on improvements which were great. The place was clean and well kept. The food was really good with many choices! The beach was absolutely breathtaking! Marielys who works at the front desk was professional and amazing to deal with. She made my daughter's birthday even more special 😊❤. I would highly recommend this resort for all ages! France Foley (Petrucci)

The grounds were well kept, you could tell they were rebuilding from the last hurricane that hit them, but they kept most of it out of main sight. The food was meh, but if we’re being honest, you aren’t going for the food anyway. The rooms were nice, massive beds, nice bathroom, awesome views. The beach was AMAZING, it was a bit of a walk, but so worth it. The staff was super friendly and the guys who ran the activities were so enthusiastic. Overall, it was a good place to stay and we enjoyed our time.

First time in Cuba ... The resort was clean and food was good for Cuba. I had one issue and fixed it right away. So no complaints at all about the resort. Fridg is stocked every second day . The beach was fab! the La Cart was great food. Some of the resort is not running due to the hurricane which is understandable . Cuba on the other hand lol well that is a different story and not a good review lol

We returned to the Mojito for 2weeks again this April and had a wonderful time. My only negative is the shows are not as good. When the local band Tahiti plays, everyone is up dancing. Would be great to have more of Tahiti! Food was amazing again and of course the staff become your family. We will keep going again and again.

Staff treat you as family , hugs and kisses every day . New beach as been added ,due to recent hurricane damage . Beach rivals that at Varadero now . Pools were always clean and inviting . Buffet and a la carte restaurant were always immaculate ,with plenty of choices . Rooms have recently been refurbished , bathrooms are a little dated though . Plenty of hot water , air conditioning was excellent along with tv channel choices . The nightly entertainment was excellent with the band and dancers . Catered to the young children very well , before the adult shows began . They should drop the nightly bingo game , as the compares have limited English ,always ended up being long and boring . Disco for the younger people starts at 11and goes until 2 am.. Not a 5 star hotel , but well worth the money , Staff were amazing and friendly with everyone . Side trips also available . .

This resort was great, great staff in all areas of the resort, rooms were great, food was great lots of variety. Beach area well taken care of and beach bar/restaurant amazing food. The staff went out of their way to make you feel important. This is definitely a place I would go back to again.

My daughter and I took our first ever out of country trip together and wow, what a great decision it was to choose Iberostar Mojito. From the minute you arrive you are treated like a star. They were hit hard by the devastating Hurricane Irma, but have came back so strong in such a short period of time. The STAFF couldn't have been any nicer, the FOOD was delicious every night with a great selection constantly rotated in the buffet, and the snack bar pizza, fries, and grilled cheese is to die for. Their cheese is amazing! The ROOM was very large and accomodating. My daughters favorite part was the nightly shows. These talented, wonderful performers could be on any stage and I would pay money to see them. Their costumes were gorgeous, the different shows every night were captivating, the MC and the DJ kept everyone laughing and happy. The pools are beautiful, Dana at the hair salon even cut my hair! The gardeners are working so so hard to get the grounds immaculate again, and I have no doubt that their love for this resort will make this happen. The BEACH AND THE OCEAN, it's beyond beautiful and is hard to put into words. Sitting at the beach bar eating lunch is something everyone should experience in their lifetime. My daughter had to see the doctor one day and the on-site service was fantastic. I honestly do not know how anyone can say that they have had a bad experience here. We met people that have been there 15-20 times. We will definitely be back!

I stayed at the Iberostar Mojito from March 31 to April 7, 2018. Have been to Cayo Coco many times but never this resort. The Air Transat flight was great, the welcome at the resort was swift and welcoming. My room was ready when I arrived. Had room 1604 on the ground floor facing the pools. I am a picky eater but never went hungry. Ate at the beach bar restaurant, the snack bar restaurant near the pools, the buffet and the a la carte Italian. The people, both staff and resort guests, are what make this resort special. Also, it had the widest, cleanest beach of them all, and I walked the whole beach every day. Enjoyed the foam party on the Wednesday. I liked that I had the party pool and pool bar if I felt like partying and could go to the quiet adults only pool if I was looking for peace. Yes, will definitely return. Thank you Trip Central for once again helping me book a holiday.

The hotel was good but was disappointed no balconies. But otherwise all the staff are hard working and very pleasant. They suffered greatly from the hurricane and are making a come back but supplies and equipment is limited. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.

The room and the bathroom was very clean ....Excellent white sandy beach....the shows were ok....could have been a bit more entertaining. The disco was not very popular....music needed to be updated more to gravitate the tourist.

Been there 13 years ago. Big difference now. And its all thanks to Amazing Cuban People working hard there. After devastating hurricane 6 month ago they rebuild most of the resort. Blocks, rooms, pools, restaurants in full working order. But they don't make your vacations good, people do. Service was really amazing, everybody on their heels to make you happy. Had minor problem with somebody locking up empty safe before leaving... bad boy! Was fixed within 30 min. after reporting to client service. Technician even fixed my foggy picture on TV in the same visit. Later my door to bath locked me out of it. Again it was done before I knew it. Foods like good old days at home, and variety to fulfill everybody's taste. Veggie soups at lunch and dinner...Yummy! Have to learn how to cook them! Italian a la carte a must to go. Cuban People listen and learn from previous guests complains. 1st time I didn't have to bring my favourite spices. Resort deserves 4* again definitely. Hope Alyeti feels better now, we missed Her. Going back in Fall! Reserve ground floor room in blocks 14,15,16 or 19. Muchos Gracias!

The week that we spent at Iberostar Mojito was overall a great experience. The resort atmosphere was laid back and relaxing. There were minimal lines for drinks or food. Food: The food at the buffet was good overall - the omelette and bacon stations were always popular. This is the first resort that I have been to that didn't have labels on the food at the buffet and the bread sat out uncovered, which left it quite dry. The snack bar's food was good- the chicken and pizzas especially. There were no menus on the table or at the snack bar, so you never knew what was available unless you asked. It took us 4 days to realize they offered chicken. The international a la carte was excellent, the Cuban was good. Cuban day (Tuesday) was Great, with many choices of meats and sides. The churros were great with the cinnamon and sugar! Rooms: The room was clean, beds were comfortable and pillows were fluffy. The water pressure was excellent and consistently hot. The maid was very friendly, but the daily room cleaning was light, at best. Beach: The beach was beautiful with a beach bar and snack bar. There were always chairs and shade available. Staff: The staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall Experience: The area was beautiful and so were the people. We arrived at the resort at 12:40 am due to a delayed flight and were surprised that we were left to find our building and room by ourselves, in the dark. There has been lots of work done to repair the resort following the hurricane damage and that was evident. The nightly shows were entertaining. There were days and nights were there were toilet paper shortages in the bathrooms, but this isn't a new issue for most resorts.

We had a great time at the Iberostar Mojito, and I realized upon returning home that I had actually stayed at the resort 14 years ago when it was called "El Senador"! It was lovely weather, just a bit windy some days and we did lots of fun activities. We had a small frog infestation during the last few days which was horrifying. I trapped one in the drain and the other in the garbage can to bring outside. Nightmare!! Then I was able to seal the door with plastic so they couldn’t get in, I think the caretakers were able to remove the one from the drain. We did a full day trip and some nights out! Cave night, Lenny's (where our cab driver abandoned us for 2 hours... #fail!) and and the Jeep-ON tour. For this tour we got picked up in jeeps (you can drive if you know standard) went to a dock where we picked up our own speed boats, drove to a specific area to snorkel, then took the jeeps to the city of Morón. Walked around for a bit, then went to lunch at a sugarcane farm. From there we went back in the jeeps up a “mountain” to get cool views of the area. And finished with a crocodile farm!!! Then back for dinner. It was awesome. Our Air Canada rep Yelenis was so lovely. Literally everything there was late, no busses arrived "on time" but everyone was friendly. I really enjoyed the lobby bar at the resort, it was clean. They really didn't have enough soap in the ladies communal bathrooms though, that was gross. Make sure to bring hand sanitizer everywhere. The shows were really fun and well-done. Food selection was better than expected and chefs were kind. Juice sucks, stick to bottled water or beer ;) Beach was stunning, and pool was good. Not very busy overall, but resort could have more engaging activities and games throughout the day.

So we were skeptical. A 3.5* in Cuba is not a 3.5* elsewhere, but it was great value, left on the date I needed and was only 15 minutes from the airport. having been to Cayo Santa maria three years ago, I said I wouldn't return and here I am in Cuba once again. Boarding out of London was fantastic, we left 30 minutes early! Customs was relatively quick and we departed for the resort within 10 minutes of hitting the bus. Drive took about 25 minutes because of two stops, but still a breeze (if you've sat on the bus from Cancun to Bahia Principe...90 minutes later you're begging for a pee break!). Arrived at resort, check in was painless. You're able to exchange funds at the front counter at any time so that was a big plus. The lobby is very nice, not opulent but quite nice. And wifi can be purchased for a buck an hour in the lobby which is a deal. So this area was hit hard by the hurricane last fall, and it's evident but this resort has spent a lot fo time and money recovering the main parts. Probably half the resort is still not recognizable (including three alacarte restaurants, theatre, cigar lounge and kids play area BUT they've done a great job. The rooms are dated, but clean. Toilet paper is sparse (a roll a day) and one day we had no towels but not a deal breaker). Break a currency converter as some of the rooms don't have 220. A couple of the crew lent us their own (the people are amazing here). So the food. I won't brag that it's the Mayan, cuz it's not but there was a fresh grilling station ever day with tilapia, sea bass, chicken, beef and pork (all grilled in front of you) and the omelet station for breakfast was excellent. The people are wonderful and truly appreciate it when tipped (just $1 CUC will suffice)...and they remember you. The lobby bar staff (Freddy, Carbo, Alain and Lixander) were excellent. Never expected a tip but so appreciated it. The grill guy always had our fish on when he saw us come in ans the omelet guy was so appreciative. The beach is the best I've been too. Lots of loungers, beach bar and grill (um I think the hamburgers sucked but the ham and cheese was good), lots of space and lots of white sand. No water shoes needed! The adult pool is very boring. No bar and no washroom. The other pool is good but we're more beach people when there's a good beach. We did not like the alacarte but honestly we're used to the Mayan alacartes which are awesome, so I'll give them a mulligan there. The gym is decent too, however didn't open on time always (the staff come in on a bus from two hours away so if it's delayed, the gym is not open). All in all, a great break for under $1000. Would I pay more, um not much more but well worth what we paid. Really good value. And yes, i would go back.

My husband and I arrived at the hotel pretty late as our flight was delayed a few hours due to a storm in Halifax, NS so we got there in the dark close to midnight. Upon arrival, the music was very loud in the lobby area where you check in, so that was a little bit of an annoyance as it makes it hard to communicate with the staff upon check in. I believe that their disco was shut down due to the hurricane in September, so they had to have music somewhere although that was not the best place. They could have had it by the stage area. We had trouble with our room key (card) for the first two days although it was a quick fix. We didn't have to wait around too long for the problem to be solved. The grounds seemed very clean and there were staff working on them daily. The pool areas seemed to be kept clean also. There is a smaller adult pool if you want more privacy and quiet time. Here is the place to lay back and relax and read a book without any visual distractions or much noise, so that was nice. Parts of the resort are still shut down. If you look up the resort map, you will see little tiny like cottages that are built on top of the water right before the beach area. None of these were open, and they only had the one small restaurant (a la carte) that was open that you could make reservations for. They used the one restaurant nightly and switched up the choices for cuisine. It seemed to work as the resort was not overly crowded anyway. The buffet was surprisingly satisfying. Some nights of course were better than others, but I think that is pretty common anyway. No issues with the food itself. There were a lot of families here at this resort. Lots of kids which was nice to see. The public washrooms are well, public washrooms. We all know the resorts run out of toilet paper and soap a lot of the time, and often, the stalls seem to shut down so you are sometimes in a line up for a toilet although that has been a common problem at other resorts I have been to. It's a good idea to take your own roll of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. The beach is breathtaking. The water is beautiful and crystal clear on calm days. Very nice stretch of beach to walk or run. Although there are always some little common problems with the resorts, considering the amount of damage that was done and how good the grounds look etc. I thought overall this resort was clean and friendly and I would go back and take my family to this resort again. It is only about 15 minutes from the airport, so a short bus ride to the resort is awesome. We did the Cigar, Sugar, and Rum excursion. We bused it across the causeway which is about 27km long to the city of Moron. We had some free time there and included in this excursion is a horse and carriage ride around the downtown, a trip to the sugar mill to see how they juice the sugarcane and you get to taste it, a train ride, an outside buffet, a trip to the alligator farm, and a boat ride through the mangroves and free bottle of rum and a cigar at the end of the trip. It is a full day, so take lots of extra water, snacks, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer. The lobby area is very pretty and a great place to sit during the day for drinks or conversation. At night it gets loud, but that is probably as I said before, because of the disco being shut down. We didn't have any major issues here. We can't wait to go back next year. Whether it is at the same location or not, we would love to go back to Cayo Coco. We had a great time. Krista and Derek from Halifax, NS
