One of our Top Cuba Experiences
We were pleasantly surprised with this location. A great layout to access and enjoy the various features and exterior spaces. Pools beautiful and clean. There are some buildings a few moments away , we were in building 4 - a short 10 minute walk to the as expected BEAUTIFUL beach. One of the key features was the exception food. The main buffet was very good, many thoughtful touches. The Italian and Indian alacartes were fantastic. Our room was very good, comfortable bed and everything you need and very clean. Great beverage variety. Another key feature was the staff and customer service. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. The evening entertainment in the theater and lobby entertainment very enjoyable. I would describe this location as accessible. There were numerous ramps in and out of the main lobby as well as among the pool levels. The public washrooms were always very clean and well stocked. I would definitely return to this location.

Disappointed
The resort itself is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are nicely, renovated, clean and comfy. The bartenders at the poolside bar as well as a snack bar were the absolute best!! The housekeepers were so sweet! We loved the pools. I did encounter multiple crabs in the pools.. a huge one crawled under my foot at the swim up bar, but definitely out of the resorts control. Pools were clean. Pool staff willingly brought you patio chairs with smiles all around! The food for us was a disappointment. We heard such amazing things about the food at Grand Muthu Cayo Guillermo and was hoping it would come through. Beach restaurant was closed our entire stay, my little one was looking forward to pizza. Lots of repetitive dishes, some were edible. We witnessed a bad case food poisoning from the à la cart international menu by another family staying on the resort. Lastly, due to hurricane Melissa approaching; our flight was delayed 5 days prior too leaving, I went to the front desk to ask to extend our room for a few hours. Original flight was set to depart at 4:25pm, that changed to 9:25pm arriving into Toronto at 12:50am. Please keep in mind that there is roughly 150 hotel rooms and there were probably about 100 vacant rooms. There was maybe 50 people at most at the resort during our stay. It was not busy at all. We were first asked if we were repeat guests, I said no. I feel that if we were repeat guests then we would have been treated different. They the told me that it will be $20 an hour to keep our room. That they don’t give anything for FREE. My husband and I decided not to pay that. Then we then were told we had to pay $20 deposit for each beach towel. We had no choice as we were still in the pool. We then went to our room and began removing our luggage and by 11:20am the housekeepers were outside our hotel room door ready to clean… check out was at 12pm. We had spoke to other guests that were repeats and they were absolutely baffled in the outcome. Sadly, we will not return to Grand Muthu Cayo Guillermo. We love Cuba, the people and the culture.

Could have been better
The hotel grounds were beautiful. The hotel was in a bad shape considering it’s only 8 years old. Our first room was awful, then l asked them to give me what l paid for, which was a king size bed and ocean view. We got that finally, but why the stress? All they had to do is give it to us in the first place. A nice room for Cuba. Water had to be asked even though it’s suppose to be in your room every day. Towels were not changed and l needed to let them know. Food was not the best. Always recycling but it’s Cuba. Everyone that l spoke too had paid different prices so l was the only one that paid more which l don’t understand why???

Very good resort
Very clean resort, excellent service, nice view of the ocean, snack bars - one is open 24 hours, beach bar, Italian restaurant beside beach where you can have lunch instead of going to a classic buffet. Buffet space is air-conditioned, clean, choice of grilled fish, beef and pork. very nice resort. Planing to go back. I am rating this resort 4 and 1/2 stars.

Very Good Resort
The grounds were kept very exceptional and everything was easy to find. The pools and the beach were amazing. As far as the food goes the alacartes were very good but the buffets not so good (very little variety, no salads and no decent fruit). That being said the most exceptional part of the resort was the staff whose service was outstandingly and friendly.

Not a 5 star
Our room had to be changed twice. I had requested a king size bed, got 2 singles and the bathroom door had no handle to close. Our towels were never changed and constantly requesting water for our room. The second room was what we wanted in the first place. So why all the stress? The grounds were quite beautiful and the food was good considering it’s Cuba. There is no store to buy any sort of snacks. The staff hardly spoke English and one male at the bar in the lobby didn’t even understand the word hot. Like a hot coffee or hot water for tea. Reception was amazing though. Very helpful and informative If you want an older group of people, this is the place to go. No loud music. Just relaxing atmosphere.

Decent resort!
The lobby was great! Open, spacious, clean and elegant looking. The grounds were also pretty nice, the landscaping was awesome; nice planted coconut palm trees, grass and pools made the scenery very beautiful. The dining areas were also great, the Indian and Italian restaurants were a little small in size, but they only book a certain amount of people per night to ensure everyone gets a chance to experience it once for the week. As for the food in these restaurants, they are great; tasty and just enough to fill you. The main buffet area, where you eat most days for breakfast, lunch and dinner is pretty big in size but the food gets pretty repetitive. You end up eating the most of the same things for all your meals. It’s not a problem if you don’t mind eating the same things, but the food is either too salty or not salty enough. Other than that, you can adapt to the taste. As for the hotel and the rooms, they need some work. The AC can be an issue in some rooms and I believe the toilet/tank system is an issue in most rooms. They tell you, as long as you’re not putting TP in the toilet(it goes in the garbage they put beside the toilet) your toilet will work fine. Other that tht, Grand Mutha Cayo Guillermo is pretty decent!

Ok resort
Grounds were lovely, people were very nice, pools were very dirty, buffet food was repetitive & cold, a la Cartes were good, but also cold. Rooms were nice, but buildings need some TLC. Was water on floors everyday, leaking from rooms. Beach was long walk & no wait service like was advertised. There was no Entertainment at pool or beach, very disappointing. The views were very nice. I wouldn't recommend the place. They seem to cater to repeat guests, which I get, but they need to make new guests feel welcome as well.

Great views
Will not return to this resort. If you are not a repeat guest you are not important. We arrived for a two week stay sept 30 - Oct 14 . in which we booked in May. Three other people joined us last minute and have been here before. When we arrived the three received their rooms at 10:30 am and we had to wait mine was 2:30 another 4:30 and the other 6:00 p.m. when we got our room keys they did not give us wifi password so had to return to lobby to get that. The rooms were great very clean but on second and third floors in which we requested bottom floor due to mobility issues. Couldn’t be moved because they were full. This place has 500 rooms and had 308 guests. The pools were cloudy and slimy the lifeguards sat in their chairs on their phones for 8 hours a day. The swim up bar does not serve beer. The kids were all in this pool eating popcorn and having their pop or juice and their cups were left in the pool along with a lot of popcorn. The entertainment was a joke. They come to pool crank music on a speaker and leave. The beach is a walk and a further walk to the chairs. The beach bar is at the start of the beach and the chairs 5 min walk away. So if you want a drink it’s a walk. If you need a bathroom it is not at the beach. I am not a picky eater and this was terrible food was always cold and the Buffett never changed from noon to supper. They did have a roasted pig for thanksgiving. The workers were all great and friendly but there is no management going on there. These people need to be supervised so they actually do their jobs. The garden keepers and lawn people never stopped. And yes I know it’s Cuba I travel There a lot. I bring my gifts and I become friends with a lot of the people. I will still travel to Cuba just not this resort.

Cuba August 2025
Airport While waiting for luggage, women's washroom, 2 stalls, no toilet seats, no paper, and a woman working there with a bucket of water to flush. When leaving, waiting for the plane. Women's washroom 4 stalls, no toilet seats. Resort Cons The first 2 days, they had vodka, then none. No vodka all week. There were no cans of beer for room mini fridge all week. The green bracelet is for Cubans visiting the resort. Pink is for returning guests. When waiting for drinks at the bar, the bartender would serve the green bracelets first. Ignoring other guests, regardless of who was there first. A guest asked for a birthday cake, and they were charged $45. The cake was dry and did not taste good. All the desserts looked good but were not tasty. Pros House keeping, maids, were excellent. Staff in general were friendly, happy to answer questions, and polite. Beach was wavy and difficult for me to swim in. When I was there in December, the water was calm, with very small waves. Pools were clean, and the water was warm. You had to ask a staff member for lounge chairs but they had a lot. They take Canadian money now! The buffet always had the same foods but a lot of options. They had clams and mussels. They did not have them in December. My friend uses a walker, and we got the wheelchair accessible room. It was great. There was a seat in the shower for her to use. She was very happy.

Lovely resort
I spent five wonderful days here. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. By the second day, the wait staff anticipated my drink of choice. Everything is very well-maintained and very clean. I loved swimming in the three different pools. My only complaint would be that the map you were given isn’t really helpful and the resort isn’t well sign posted. I needed to watch a YouTube video to find the path to the beach.

Always a good time at the Muthu
We were a group of 7 women. Three of us were repeat guests. Arrived early, so we parked ourselves in the lobby and enjoyed some beverages. Shortly there after our rooms were available. Our keys cards and info were delivered to our table by a lovely lady from the front desk. (I wish I could remember all the names of the outstanding staff) so many I remembered from prior trips an they remembered us. The woman who does the a la carte reservations is amazing. I personally did not see the inside of the buffet. The a la carte staff and snack bar staff are the best. The public bathrooms were clean and usually had toilet paper. The rooms were spotless, shower, toilet, fridge never had an issue. Water and beer replenished daily. We celebrated two birthdays and an anniversary while there. One of those birthdays was a 60th. They went above and beyond. Decorated our table are and presented the most delicious cake, turning down the lights while the staff and all us patrons sang happy birthday. Always going the extra mile. The sports bar had the NHL playoffs available to watch( the didn’t last year) but obviously acquired it knowing the Canadians wanted it. They had a Canada Day, poutine included. They had a beach party, they had the lobby set up for dinner. All these special themed events during low season. Their attention to detail shows in everything they do. It was a great holiday.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and I had no problem. The grounds are very well kept and clean. The pool area is very nice and I had no problem finding a Palapa or some shade and ofcorce the beach is the best for me the water was clear and clean and you can walk out quite far and you don't have to run to reserve a Deck chair because there was plenty of them and a lot of shade. The food has lot of variety but it is Cuba. I never had any problems eating. I recommend this resort for any body and it is kids friendly.

Beyond expectations
My mother and I spent a week in March in this little corner of paradise. We could not have been more happy with our choice. The resort is immaculate, set on beautifully kept grounds right on the ocean. The white sand beach is postcard perfect with crystal clear turquoise water. The staff were all above amazing. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and entertained. Every day was different with themes, special dinners, a fiesta with local artisans, a beach party, shows and more. It wasn’t over-the-top though and it was easy to opt out and find a quiet spot to just chill. The food was plentiful, with lots of selection. The outdoor restaurants El Jardin and Sendero offered special experiences for lunches. The resort was only about half-full, but that did not deter the staff. The rooms were well appointed, very clean, and comfortable, although with a few signs of wear. There was a blackout in the community during our stay but the resort was not at all affected. We only found out because some of the staff mentioned it. We would love to return and would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful place to anyone looking for a relaxing, safe time in a beautiful setting with lovely people.

Cayo Coco has their own power supply that is not attached to the mainland. There were no power interruptions all week.

Hotel clean, rooms look up to date. All three Pools are great. Food is ok very small buffet and not much variety at all. Entertainment is ok. Did not see any shows in the theater which they advertise per day on the wall. Beach is good but the public beach not far has white sand and is beautiful and water so clear you can see so clear to the bottom. Staff very friendly and helpful. Some don't speak much English. Bring your own sun block as it's hard to buy over there and they ones they have not in english and they one they do is and does not work good. Kiddie pool and park good. Lobby is beautiful.

Rooms were really nice and updated. Resort and rooms were very clean. Staff were pleasant, especially Danny in the lobby bar. Awesome pools and lots of loungers. Beach was a bit of a walk from the main resort and had lots of seaweed along the beach. Went to playa Pilar beach twice which was a short taxi or bus ride away for $5.00 Cdn per person. One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen. Food was not great but that’s Cuba for you. The snack bar had good munchies like hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and French fries.

Better then expected.
First time in this area. Room and grounds - near excellent. Pools well maintained a very clean without chlorine smell. Beach very long and wide enough with sufficient amount of shade structures. Food - not all to my taste but plenty to choose from. Lamb and fish in the menu almost every day?. On the fruit side - all good. Veggies - could be better. Not many options for vegetarians - I am not one. Many vegetarian looking dishes seem to contain some sausage cut into tiny pieces which are are hard to spot. You want to swim in crystal clear water - take the bus to playa Pilar. You want good snorkeling experience - then this is not your place. Staff very nice and friendly, especially when you show respect as one always should. Two bad things I can't just skip. The door key cards work when they want and whe way they want. The ones given as replacement of the original ones performed even worse. Could be just our door!? The worst thing - the jejenes ( skinny sand flies) that won't let you be too relaxed. Study the matter before you decide on the trip especially if you are allergic to bug bites. My wife suffered quite a lot. Will we go back - No. The only reason - the jejenes. Absolutely recommend this resort if you don't have problems with the little suckers - the jejenes.

Awesome vacation
We returned home April 24 from this beautiful resort. There were 6 in our party. Thank you to management for the attention to my email for our rooms. We required a W/C room and two rooms on second floor close to the beach! The rooms were perfect! Food was good and lots of it. Remember you are in Cuba. We enjoyed the El Jardin at lunch time. You make reservations for this in the lobby. The bars always had something to drink and made great coffee in the lobby bar. The staff were friendly and very obliging. The beach is beautiful as well as the pools. Lots of chairs. We so enjoyed the seafood hut just down the beach called Macomba! Delicious seafood and great prices. We visited the beautiful Pilar beach on the double decker bus. The bus picks you up at the front entrance. If you require a w/c resort this one is very good. Hope to return!

This resort was quite beautiful. The staff works hard at keeping things clean as far as the lobby and public bathrooms go. The groundskeepers really work hard at keep the resort looking nice with beautiful flowers and greenery. The 3 pools were sparkling and clean and even tho busy, there were lots of loungers to choose a spot. The beach was absolutely beautiful and nice and long for walking on. Lots of loungers there as well. The food- although not terrible was repetitive by the end of the week- not unusual for Cuba. There were no food shortages here. Staff overall was very friendly. The coffee bar in the lobby was amazing! We were very grateful we packed extra toilet paper as they were very stingy with that! We slept in the same sheets all week and used the same bathroom towels. Not the end of the world but even one change might have been nice???? There is a “lobster shack” a couple of minutes down the beach that is a “ must try”! Overall is was a very nice resort and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

The food was plentiful and somewhat repetitive but remember this is Cuba and they are a hurting country we lacked of nothing and were served with a smile every day. The rum was plentiful and the beer was cold the coffee excellent I mean what more do you want ? You won’t get fancy dinners and steak never had bacon and never missed any of these things.

This resort was worth the money we paid for the vacation. The food was above Cuba standards. The rooms were clean. grounds kept neat and tidy.

Amazing resort
The vacation was enjoyable, the hotel is beautiful, and the seaside is wonderful, but there is a major lack of services, such as the service at the bar, which is very slow, and the workers lack experience in dealing with customers and lack a smile. Also, the room services are not cleaned well, and also the problem of sanitation in the bathrooms is also weak, and at peak times the bathroom water is weak. It is very weak and there is also a problem with the internet. There is no internet in the rooms or on the beach and it is also very slow. For this reason we hope to reconsider these important points in order to reach the best quality of services. Thank you and we wish you success and progress.

Wonderful Trip
The grounds and location are fantastic for both adults and families. Persons with mobility issues may find the grounds bit overwhelming for walking, but access is available to the beach. Families with children have access to Kids Club which includes 2 pools, slide and lounge chairs. The food selection was good, and I don't believe anyone went hungry as there was a variety available each day. Some families did bring their own condiments. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is no need to change your currency to U.S. as Canadian dollars including change, loonies and toonies are accepted by staff. The spa is just outside the main entrance which I highly recommend. 1 hr massage (body, facial scrub, and reflexology massage are included at $80 Canadian) There few stores across the street from the Spa and few meters up are souvenir stands where you can get greater variety of products. Overall, I'm happy with my holiday spent and I would return.

Beautiful resort beautiful people
This resort did not disappoint. The grounds, pools, and facilities were well maintained. There was no shortage of toilet paper!!! An occasional day or so there were limitations with types of alcohol and mixes at some bars but you could always find a refreshing beverage somewhere. The food was specular (even had sushi 2 nights) at the beginning of of trip (Wed- Sat) but declined in choices thereafter, however there was always something to eat. The Cuban people make it their mission to please us, it's amazing what 1$ can achieve. Be polite and respectful it will get you a long way. Sadly, there was a down side to our vacation. We travelled as a family of 6 and all six of us were sick at one point from Saturday on. Also, the comments about the bugs turned out to be true, the no-seeums were viscous especially morning and evening, it took until the last 2 days of our trip to see the effects of this. Having said this, we must remember were are visiting a less fortunate tropical country. I question if it was related to the area, Cayo Guillermo? We did enjoy our trip and the children (4 and 6) experienced lots of joy and culture. I would recommend this location but with cautions, be prepared for travelers gastrointestinal issues.

Amazing resort
Grand Muthu proved that it’s one of the best Cuban resorts. Rooms were clean and for the most part of our stay room service was good enough. The Buffet offered a great variety of food. We always found things we liked to eat. The service at buffet and restaurants was impeccable. Entertainment was superb. The Front desk and Customer service tackled all the issues promptly. Overall, we were very satisfied and enjoyed our stay at Muthu. We’ll return to Grand Muthu and will recommend it to others.

Disappointing this time
We were there from Dec10 to 24 We have been in Cuba 25 times and four times at this resort. This latest trip was one of the worse. There are not enough bartenders to deal with the resort being full. There should be a separate location for just pizzas. Average of 45 minutes to get a pizza at the Sea Sky. Only one oven worked. It has been this way for a long time. Only one bartender at beach bar. Last times we were here there was always two plus servers on beach. Bar in main plaza was only open for short periods of times. NO lifeguards on beach for the first twelve out of fourteen days we were there. Food is typical of what you get in Cuba. There are four Ala carte. Indian is our favourite, Pizza is good at Italian. Chicken is good at International. Soups are great in all. We had many issues that I will not discuss. This resort like all others in Cuba star ratings are not accurate. I would rate this one 3.5 stars. We keep coming back to this one because we know what to expect and the other resorts could be worse.

AMAZING RESORT ALTHOUGH FIRST DAY WAS SCARY
Our stay last Nov.25 to Dec. 1 was very memorable. Day 1 was nightmare because after the afternoon chill in the pool, my son and pregnant wife got injured. The bathroom tempered glass of our hotel room shattered when they took shower. Blood was everywhere. They were whisked by ambulance at 7:00 PM to the nearest hospital in Moron which is 1 hour 30 minutes one way trip. My son got 5 stitches on his left foot and my wife's right hand got bandaged plus ultrasound to check if the baby she's carrying was alright. We got back 1:30AM. Hotel shouldered the bills and we were upgraded to their best suite. Sea healed their wounds quickly and the rest of the days went great. Our enjoyment was not really 100% due the incident but we are willing to come back to enjoy 100%. We missed to do other stuffs like dolphins. lobster dining in Sendero(there was no available lobster that time) and more beach fun. My wife will be having her baby by February. Would you be able to give us a special offer to go back? Thanks.

Belle semaine
L'hôtel est très bien entretenu. La plage est magnifique et aussi entretenue. On peut y marcher des kilomètres. Le personnel est majoritairement sympathique et courtois. Notre chambre était propre et le mobilier très confortable. Nous avons eu de l'eau et suffisamment de papier de toilette. Le seul point négatif est la nourriture. Il y a beaucoup de variétés de viandes, mais il peut être difficile de passer une semaine complète sans consommer des légumes autres que de la citrouille, des concombres sans vinaigrette, des gumbos ou des patates. On doit arriver tôt au buffet pour y avoir un meilleur choix (ex. bacon le matin). Aussi, il y a beaucoup de mouches au buffet, mais pour nous ce n'est pas un problème, sauf lorsqu'il "attaque" notre visage. Petit conseil, apportez-vous des choses à manger (beurre de peanut, nutella, chips, barres tendres pour compenser la nourriture). Beaucoup de moustiques aussi en soirée, alors prévoir un chasse-moustique efficace. Malgré tout, c'est notre deuxième fois au Grand Muthu et nous y retournerons très probablement.

Wonderful Trip
Grand Muthu exceeded my expectations. The beach is simply the best. The staff are fantastic. I had a great room overlooking both the infinity pool and ocean. They never ran out of anything. I met many people who return every year. For the price I paid it was a steal. Remember to buy back toonies and loonies from staff before you leave as they can’t use them. They need bills for the bank.

Good resort… Nasty bugs!
The Good: - The friendliest staff I ever encountered! Everyone is doing their best to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Most staff are proficient in English and/or French. Unlike other resorts, no one is pressing you for tips, and although it’s generally recommended to tip, you’ll get a great service regardless of whether you tip or not. A+ to all hotel staff! - The beach is amazing. It’s honestly the best part of this hotel. It stretches long enough for a nice walk. There are plenty of beach bed and umbrellas. - The hotel area is well-maintained with plenty of vegetation. The So-So: - The hotel area is sparse, so a bit of walking is required, especially to get to the beach. With that said, it’s no more than 15-20 mins from the lobby, which is the farthest from the beach - The rooms are shabby and in need of redecorating. Bed sheets have stains and cigarette marks; same goes for the towels. - Dues to the current situation on Cuba, some things are worse than they used to be pre COVID-19. For example, towels do not get replaced, including the beach towels. Many amenities, such as gym, spa, etc., are closed for service. - The food is very monotonous. You will NOT starve, but you’ll end up eating the same food every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. - On a few occasions the drinks we got were watered. The Very Bad - Throughout our entire stay, the buffet was INFESTED with flies and cockroaches. I’m not talking about big Madagascar cockroach, but those nasty roaches. They were crawling everywhere: on walls, on ceiling, on floor – and on food. I think the hotel tried to do something about it but to no avail. Frankly, that place should be shut down entirely until the pest situation is fully under control. Conclusion: The bugs situation is a real shame. Despite some minor issues, this hotel could have been a great resort for a budget vacation. Unfortunately, not recommending due to sanitary hazard.

Stay away!!!
The hotel was great till we seen cockroaches everywhere in the buffet. There was so many cockroaches and even had them on the bread. If we didn’t see any of the cockroaches,The food was actually really good at this resort. One of the best hotels in Cuba that I have stayed at that the food was actually good. But even though the food was good the cockroaches killed the vibe for us wanting to ever return to the Grand Muthu. All the bathrooms near the pool were always flooded. I’m sure people are using the pool to urinate because the bathrooms were disgusting. There was no bathroom near the beach it was out of order. So, besides, the roaches and the bathroom situation the resort overall was OK, but I would never go back because of the roaches!!!

The hotel was quite good for Cuba. The grounds were well keep and the hotel rooms were clean. The only thing that wasn’t good was that you couldn’t get clean towels. The food was pretty good since they have a lot of supply issues. There was a lot of drinks that they couldn’t make. But all in all it was good. The beach is amazing.

Worst long two weeks!
What can I say about Grand Murthu Cayo Guillermo? Arrived late at night, no one to help us to our room, went up and down three different floors and couldn’t find our room, no hot water first night, shortage of toilet paper, and towels, beds incomplete, buffet infested with flies and cockroaches, second week after many complaints from customers they started to spray. The smell was awful, we were bitten by mosquitoes . The staff is friendly and tried their best to accommodate us when possible. My complaint is directed towards the owners of the resort not the staff. Public Toilets not working, many were closed! Why aren’t they fixing and upgrading? 🤦ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸ They call this a 5 star resort? Worst longest two weeks I don’t recommend this resort! I do love flying with air Transat!

Lot to be desired
Our expectations were not high but there is room for improvement. The buffet needs to be addressed in setup and flies infestation. Some maid service requires attention,(more self motivation to clean room and shower),as does the pool area cleanliness. Weather was excellent. Very hardworking staff that go above and beyond. Medical staff was excellent. Al a Carts were average to good. Beach was good but sand fleas were brutal. Take lots of bug spray.. No more Cayo Coco but would strongly consider going back to Holquin.

Amazing week!!!
Just got back on April 1, so miss the warm weather. Great resort stayed in building 2 close to everything lobby, snack bar, buffet in behind 5 min walk to beach buffet hit or miss. Bring peanut butter mayo, butter, face clothes and extra towels. Go early around 7am if you want spot on beach, and pool as well. If you want pizza Line up around 12 1230. There is a fish fry guy on beach beside bar very good but greasy he is sometimes in court yard by buffet if they are roasting a pig that is a must try yummy. Take the double decker bus you can go to pilar beach or market, they drop you off at market and are back in 45 mins you get to see the different resorts take the bus that has a roof if not very windy. Overall great resort no complaints except I wish I was still there lol.

Disappointed travellers!
Travelled in January 2023! My first poor review of any hotel in Cuba! This hotel lacks basic hygiene and bare necessities! No running water for 5 out of our 7 day stay. Only hot scorching water! No functional toilet either until our second last day! Bedding stinks and dirty! Front desk seemed overwhelmed with the lineup of customers complaining, customer service takes notes- that’s about it! Air Transat rep tried to assist us but that’s the best they could do! I would not recommend this hotel! This is a general problem there! (Public washrooms have the same problem) Note: our second time at this hotel - there is a night and day difference from our first stay 3.5 years ago! I would not recommend this resort!

Grand Muthu Cayo Guillermo
Here are my honest thoughts about the Resort. Well built , beautiful scenery & decor. The staff are all extremely friendly and very helpful. Ways the staff can and need to improve on is when cleaning the bathrooms restocking the bathroom tissue! Nowhere on the hotel grounds can you find toilet paper except for in your personal booked rooms. This was an issue on a daily basis during our week stay. I hope they improve on this or if there's a particular reason why inform the tourists .... as per the food in all their prepared buffets you will find something to eat . Carry personal seasonings / ketchup & wipes. There are so many bars and poor upkeep on ensuring frozen/slushy drinks are made up to par. Maybe updates drink machines would help? Overall if there was confirmed changes on the resort I would go back if not deff no I'll choose a deff resort

I would never recommend this resort. From day one things were terrible. The key never worked, walking back to the front desk to exchange key every day. The whole door lock had to be changed twice. You had to fight to get towels, water,toilet paper. The toilet never flashed properly. The resort public washrooms were disgusting.

Gran Muthu Cayo Guillermo was a fun resort. Food was great 2.days out of 7....but I guess that's expected in Cuba....you don't go to Cuba for the food!! The resort is 5 years old and is in good shape but could use and update!! The staff were exceptional....very accomodating. The pools and beach are second to none!! The resort is very small and easy to get around....My first time to Cuba so I really have nothing to compare it to in Cuba so I'm giving it a 7.5 out of 10!! For the.price we paid I cannot complain!!

Truly Amazing Resort
Amazing week at this beautiful resort. Fourth time to Cuba but first resort I would actually want to return to. Was in building 9 with an amazing view. No complaints. Food and drinks were plentiful. Yes there were lines everywhere but when traveling during peak season it’s expected. Just like traffic at rush hour. Impressed with the language skills of the staff who all seemed to be fluent in Spanish, English and French. All the entertainment was in the 3 languages. For some amazing Spanish coffee or regular coffee with milk check out Oscar in the Sports Bar. Great bartender and the nicest guy ever. If you’re on the fence about whether to choose this resort, don’t be. You’ll have a great time. Miss it already.

Beautiful Resort but lacks staff
We have been to Cuba many many times, however it’s our 1st time post Covid. This is one of the more modern resorts we’ve stayed in … in Cuba. The grounds & scenery are beautiful. The rooms are spacious. We had oceanview rooms and they were very damp. Bedding & clothes felt damp. The beach is great and you can walk for miles. But… there’s a lack of staff, making for huge lineups. Understandably, post Covid, the resort still has shortages with some food items as well as liquors. 24 hour snack bar has only ham & cheese & tuna sandwiches. We pretty much drank rum all week. 4 days in before we saw beer. There is no stocking of the room mini-fridges at all. We were given 1 bottle of water a day. Had water issues in the room that did not get addressed the entire week we were there. I feel that the workers here are being overworked which makes for unhappy employees. Not the pleasant Cuban staff we are used to.

Amazing Stay!
We are a family of 4, two young girls, there were a lot for them to do. We utilized all the pools including the kids pool and the kids club, plus they had entertainment throughout the day/night for kids. In addition a nightly show, my only issue was the show started too late (9:30) so it was hard to stay up for it lol, but we did make it to a couple which was nice. Lendes (kids club staff with long blond hair) was amazing, she babysat for us after hours so we can enjoy a dinner/date night- that is at a small fee. She was so amazing my girls still talk about her. Restaurants were good! I would suggest you book your al-a- carts as soon as you get there. Those restaurants were amazing and staff were amazing too. I also recommend reserving a spot a Sendero, it's a lobster lunch on the beach under the mangrove trees-definitely worth it, lots of food and only $20usd per adult. Also don't forget about the pizza lunch at the beach restaurant. The 24hr snack bar offers breakfast and snacks throughout, we ate there every morning, ask the waiter or waitress for omelets, they make them for you. Towels: if you need new beach towels, just ask your house keeper, she promptly changed ours out for us, she was so lovely! This was an awesome resort, the only lines we experienced was prior to doors opening for buffet, once they opened I found it to be prompt, there are lines for the freshly cooked food, but that's every all inclusive Caribbean Island I've been to. I can't wait to go back and would recommend this resort! Don't forget to visit pilar beach!! A must! Thank you to all the staff (including the gardeners- so friendly and hard working) for your hospitality! I look forward to visiting again!

Great trip- detailed review
Arrived on Jan29 with two friends and met up with other friends who arrived couple days prior.The resort looks large at first but isnt really once you get the lay of the land. It is clean and gardens well kept Room The rooms are very spaceous with standup showers and rain shower heads. Never had issue with no hot water We were in building 5 on first floor. Luckily, our build is one that first floor is raised so had to walk up 4 or 5 steps Our maid Jennifer did an awesome job cleaning our room daily. Always had tp, Always carried small pack of tissue and purell who out and about on and off resort as you never know. Bottled Water was delivered daily. And could always get more if needed.We kept one in bathroom just for teeth brushing.Air conditioner worked great. There is also ceiling fan in room as well. Beds were firm but comfortable with body pillow type pillow. I also travel with own pillow so was plenty comfortable to sleep. In closet there is ample hanging space, iron board and iron, a small chest of drawers , shelves and a built in safe that you pick your own combination for. Balcony had awesome ocean view even though we had a standard room. Majority of room( but not all) especially on 2nd and 3rd floors all have some sort of ocean view. There was two patio chairs and small table on balcony. We also bring zip ties and rope to make a small clothes line to dry clothing on inside of our balcony wall. Food There are 3 a la cartes restaurants and buffet for evening meals. A la carte require reservations and am entitled to 3/ week of stay. Food was great in all 3. Meal hours were set but if hungry between could always go to 24 hour snack bar. Supper/ dinner only started at 630-10 Indian has set menu and not spicy like we know Indian here in Canada. But tasty. Despite not appearing to have eated a lot we all felt full when meal was completed. The Italian was out favourite. It has a menu you chose from. The chicken was very tender and tasty. We were able to go second time as they hold reservation for 15 minutes then if anyone wants to go without reservation and they have room you are permitted to. Our waitress Lily was very friendly and a great server. She anticipated our needs before we had to ask for things. The Cuban restaurant was delicious as well. They have a menu to chose. Portions were good and food delicious. We had wine witn every evening meal in a la cartes and in buffet. Actually can have beer and wine anytime in buffet just have to ask server. Other mixed drinks can only get at bars. Food in buffets was good. A great variety and plenty of food. They had pasta station at lunch and usually served roast pork at dinner/ supper meal at same station. The pork roast was so good. They also had two grilling stations at lunch and dinner one for meat and other for fish. Lots of salad fixings and dressings. In am they have two and sometimes 3 egg/ omelette stations. They were very delicious and filling. The bread available every meal in form of buns and loaves was amazing. Sometimes ran out of butter, but just had to ask a server and someone would find some for you. The servers very hard working and polite and ones who understood english quite friendly Most servers understood some basic English. Desserts were typical buffet style desserts and Ice Cream. There is also the seasky buffet that is close to beach. Open from 1-3 only. It has a small buffet and pizza made to order. Lines for pizza always too long so i never did taste pizza. Too many other options where to eat lunch to hang in line. The resort also has two lunch a la cartes which are included , except for lobster meal at Sendero. These have to be booked where you book your a la cartes reservations in the lobby. The Sendero and a La Jardin. Bars There is a main bar in lobby open until 11 pm. They made best spanish and iced coffes here. There is a swim up pool bar ( open until 5 pm) at one end of the infinity pool which i never sat at but did have them make a couple drinks from other side and a beach bar ( open until 5 pm) where i got some yummy pina coladas. There is also a bar at center court outside the buffet but usually only open in evening intil 10 or 11, except on Cuban day where they were open all day. Cuban day they roast a full pig in center court . (And happens every week.) 24/7 snack bar all drinks available any time of day, including coffee My only big complaint of this resort is the drinks. The bartenders free pour and i personally not big rum drinker so tasted too strong. Once i switched to vodka and gin drinks it was much better. There was rarely pina coldas or bananas mamas available except at beach bar because they didnt have the mix to make them. The bartenders tried to improvise but not always a good move on their part. Slushies drinks almost always available at most bars. The Snack bar is open 24/ 7 for meals( breakfast- eggs and toast, and small buffet in am 7-10) and rest of time open for sandwiches( ham and cheese, cheese- just ask for it, tuna salad which was tasty, and chicken salad - tasty, All made with sandwich press type heater. Sometimes hot dogs, sometimes fries. Depending on if they received from their suppliers that day or not . We were never hungry or out of food options. Im sure if you were in cities or towns thing may be different but resorts get best supplies available on the island. The beach is not directly in front of resort but off to side. The sand is nice with very little seaweed. There are lots of sun loungers available and little shade covers that keep sun beating on you to a minimum if you want. Only once did i see servers on beach, but beach bar is close by. The closest bathroom is off beach just up the walkway behind the cuban restaurant. You can walk miles along beach in one direction past other resorts, without needing watershoes but other direction lots coral so advisable to wear the shoes to protect your feet. Water was so clear that even in deeper water which was a walk out you could see bottom very clearly.( knee / thigh deep for long area) very few shells on beach close to resort but if walked further found no problem. There is a small market less than 5 minute walk outside resort . There is a disco( not part resort so pay 20 for all inclusive open bar) , bowling alley( pay for use) a few small shops and vendor booths.. As well there is a small spa offering various services. These shops are not part of the resort so cost extra. Excursions One of our party did do few excursions and enjoyed each. I did not. I did use the hop on hop off bus to market one way and pilar beach the other. It was $5 for day / person . They accepted cnd at par if the bills were not folded. But did see bus people ask others for CC. i would tell them you only have cash and they would accept it but not coins. Only flatbills usd or cnd. We personally never had problem with offering cash . Our bills were all flat like they were when we got from bank machine in Canada. In saying they DO Not Have ATM machines in cuba. One of the girls we travelled with ran out of money as she only brought 60 with her and she tried to get more and had to setlle on using just her 60 or her CC. Exclusions were booked on CC. Pillar beach was beautiful.water so clear, sand so soft. You need to pay for chairs if you want one though. $5per chair. We snorkled from beach. Not lot to see but we were just practicing using snorkel. Did see clear jellyfish , small white fish and several huge starfish. There is a guy who sells catamaran / snorking excursions from beach. Much cheaper than paying for from travel rep and is same excursion. They also have beach chairs which are included in the cost. He and his partners walk the beach selling the excursion then send you to spot to pay. It includes lobster/ chicken / pork lunch at restaurant on an island cost was 30pp for boat and lunch and 40 pp for that and snorkling. They were taking cnd at par with usd if paying cash on day we were there. Again only bills no coins as their banks do not take them. All in all resort was nice. Post covid has made getting supplies just as hard if not harder for them as it has for us. I most likely would return in future. I love Cuba and the people though the extreme poverty makes me sad. They endure so much and make the best of it and keep smiling.

Nice hotel
The hotel was really nice, beautiful lobby, lots of places to get a drink and get food. Staff friendly. Pools beautiful. The grounds and beach were also very nice. Rooms modern, beds comfortable. Could use more entertainment in lobby at night before show. Alacarte’s were tasty. Negatives were lines too long in buffet as it was poorly laid out. Not big selection of food there. Only had chicken once there. Need more waiters in lobby bar and snack bar as everyone lined up for drinks. The staff were so busy making cappachino’s there that the line was always large. Room cards had to be reprogrammed several times on several nights. Eventually technician had to fix door lock. Late at night this was annoying. There was always water in the room and maid was in daily and room was clean. Activities at pool were fun, but the Staff always are so loud when they are on a microphone. Little annoying after a while.overall it was a beautiful resort with staff who try really hard and had a great time in the sunshine.

All in all it was good 🙂
All in all it was good 🙂 There were some issues, but that is expected when travelling to Cuba... Room not ready on time, toilet and plumbing issues, a few things that were broken and needing repair (e.g. soap dispensers, locks on bathroom doors, paper towel dispensers...) But the staff is lovely! They are helpful and courteous and friendly. Love she espressos and lattes. The food was fine for us. We felt that there was enough variety, especially in the early morning at the breakfast buffet. The lines for the restaurant were long though, so I wonder if they could improve on setup or logistics in the restaurant? The pools are wonderful and very prettily situated right in the ocean. We spent the entire day either at the beach or the pool. Our room was adequate (a bit in need of freshening up). Our maid, Yamilla, was wonderful and helpful. We also really appreciated the service of Suleidy at the Front Desk who went out if her way to resolve some issues with our room and my friend's room. We felt that it was good value for the price and would likely go back. One thing I suggest: the beach is difficult to access for people with mobility issues..my friend traveling with us has a wheelchair/walker and could not make it...is it possible to extend the boardwalk so that it is easier access for people with mobility issues?

Worst vacation ever
This vacation was horrible the hotel was over booked my ocean view was a building view before going to our room we tried to book some a la carts all of them were booked for our entire stay. We had water all over our bathroom and bedroom but no clue we’re it was coming from. No phone working toilet or shower for 3 days. The wifi barley worked and you had to get a new code every 14 hours.between 4pm and 7pm the water in the room didn’t turn on you could even flush so it smelled like an out house. No daily made service they came every 2-3 days in the seven days did not put clean towels unless we asked and did not provide toilet paper we had to wipe with our towels and didn’t have any toilet paper in any public bathrooms either. The buffet was 30-45 minutes wait to get in and to get food that was horrible if they had anything left. The place to exchange beach towels was closed the entire stay. Cigar shop had no cigars. They did not fill our fridge daily we had 2 cans of beer and 1 bottle of water the day we arrived and when we asked for more they said only the first day the buffet was closed more hours then it was open. No games and or entertainment for my teens. Our door lock was broken we had to punch it several times for it to except our key cards and when you locked it from inside it could be opened anyway. The reception staff was very rude they did not send people up to fix thing and they would not provide toilet paper and when we asked to move to a functioning room they said NO. Furniture in lobby and other common spaces were falling apart. Overall this was the worst vacation we’ve ever had and I would not even recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.

Needs some work
Just returned Jan 2023. Considering this resort only opened in 2018 I expected more. The online pictures are accuarate as they focus mainly on the outside and lounge. Check in/check out were painless and they accomodated 5 of us in 2 rooms side by side however in 1 room the shower leaked a lot all over the floor everytime it was used and in the other room the toilet rarely flushed and no one came to fix it even though the front desk was advised. We had to almost beg for new towels. The food at the a la carte was decent, the beach restaurant was really good however at the buffet some items could have been cooked longer. A lot of the items were either not labeled or mislabeled and not usually replaced with the same item which caused guests to hoard the more popular choices. The snack bar although 24 hours service was incredibly slow. Bars usually only had one person serving which resulted in very long line ups. The staff was basically pleasant if You greeted them first but most made no eye contact and spent a lot of time speaking amongst each other. Wi-Fi worked most places which was helpful and the night entertainment was nice. Some of the available services were advised of by other guests and not the staff (i.e. there was a customer service department away from the main lobby or you could have breakfast prepared in the snack bar) The beach was beautiful and the pools were well maintained however the public washrooms off the main lobby were disgusting and not cleaned often enough. After some minor improvements this resort could definitely be a true 4 star.

Hotel is okay
Beach and surrounding grounds are good. Food is okay. Service is very slow at Snack bar. Considering all they serve is sandwiches it should not be slow. The Italian and Indian restaurants are very good. The Cuban is good for fish. The beef is not edible. The buffet is okay typical for Cuba. One thing for improvement is make the wifi last the lenght of your stay. You have to reset everyday. The toilets are constantly running which makes sleeping difficult.

It was better
It was our 3rd time in this resort and not the best one. Sometimes pool get very dirty, so hotel closes it. Many kids had ear infections. The staff were wonderful as usual. But the quality and variety of food is terrible. We had 2 rooms connected, in both there were problems with toilets. The door in one room didn't work.

Amazing Resort
The landscaping well maintained. 2 out of 3 pools were open, and towards the end of my stay the infinity pool opened however the pool bar did not. They are not at full capacity yet. The buffet had many varieties of food such as calamari, fish and shrimp. Steak beef, stir fry beef together with pork and chicken. Food was delicious. Lobster dinner at Sandero was amazing!

Worse than 2019
I was in this hotel 2 weeks in July 2022 it was the second time, first time June 2019 from the arriving, it was a visible difference now and June 2019 personnel at reception was as usually gentle but helpless if you need something room not clean enough, drain in shower clogged, hygiene very low level, garbage all around towels no changed every day (they said washer did not work) toilet paper not supplied (they said ordered but not arrived) buffet under capacity, not enough food, not enough tables/chars visible discrimination by serving first and better local Cuban guests

Great resort!
The hotel and staff were wonderful. But by far the beach was the best part. Aqua warm water and white sand. Great for long walks. The food was good on some days and not great on others. I never went hungry. Best mojito I have ever had (sports bar). Entertainment was a lot of fun. great live music and dancing in the lobby one day. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Has its pros and cons
Beautiful and clean resort with amazing views + pools! We loved the entertainment (shoutout to the AMAZING twins that host). Getting into the nitty-gritty, the food had a really bad taste, assuming from the off cooking oil. Aside from being hungry 24/7, it was a good spot to vacation. But beware to my girls, some of the workers who were male would hit on me and make me uncomfortable and one day I watched one of the chefs call his friend over to look at a girls butt. Quite gross, take your husbands everywhere you go! Also stay by the pool, beach smells NASTY!

Amazing resort with wonderful staff
I've been to Cuba many times, this is by far one of the best resorts I've been too. I traveled with my 11yr old son, 2 senior parents, my husband and brother there was always something to entertain us all. Food was great and staff was AMAZING. THANKS GRAND MUTHU FOR BECOMING OUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME.

Great resort, will go back!
However...realize at times, food could get some people concerned. We had no issue or unreasonable concern. Cuba is enduring embargo and Covid leftovers as is rest of the world. Staffing is outstanding! Ladies on the front desk in some resorts can be standoffish. Not here each one engages customers with patience and enthusiasm and will stay with you till satisfied. Beach guys and bar are amazing. Clients are all happy and satisfied. Shout out to Alejandro and his team. They want only your satisfaction. Resort overall is clean and well sanitized, check out à ny bathroom or their supplies to clean your rooms! Issues are few and I think easily resolved by active, managerial decisions....pull down screens at snackbar restaurant keep those birds from pooping on tables and chairs,,,,this is not safe. Also in Buffet flies in some areas are a concern 5 times in as many days I had to forgo food and drink. Only time I've encountered this in 20 years traveling Cuba or other international locations. Managers, visit your units and fix it!!! I must not forget room housekeepers for their hard work and attention to detail. It's great to have one maid for the entire stay. Jim, Milton.

I’d rate this hotel a 3 maximum. The infinity swim up bar was closed and the water was full of algae , the other main pool was not all that clean either. The hotel beds are comfortable and the room was generally clean however the screen door lock was broken on the main floor and the shower tile was moldy. Overall the food was a 1 star . They were often out of bread day to day or most items on the a la carte menus. Overall the hotel staff were friendly however there was not much in terms of entertainment at the pool day to day. To find a ball to play volleyball was hit or miss . The mosquitoes are very bad , I had minimum 75 bites for a one week stay , as well as the sand flies . I understand this is the carribean however I have never experienced it like this before . The beach was not what you’d expect of a Cuban beach and the shore was covered in seaweed . I was travelling with my son and he is easy to please in terms of food, however the flies and bird feces all over the outdooor tables and chairs turned him off . Overall not the best experience .

Trip to Grand Muthu Cayo Guillermo, September 2022
It seems that Cuba tourism and hospitality industry has suffered big time over 2 years of COVID pandemic. The services and resources were not at the high level as before the pandemic (I have been to Cuba several times). There was a minor shortage of bottled water, fruit, bread, and some food stuff. The main pool was not working due to broken filter, so there was no pool bar which is one of the most attractive spots of any resort. There was no waiter at the other pool(s) which made it difficult for the elderly and people with disability to get drinks or snack at the pool(s). Tons of flies and mosquitos even inside the buffet restaurant. Maintenance of facilities was not at the expected level (broken toilets, pool filters, etc). Night entertainment was mainly DJ, except for 2 nights of live performances. However, the majority of were trying hard so the visitors have a good time, especially: 1. Juan at the Sports Bar 2. The chef at the lobster restaurant by the beach 3. Roxy, Rachel, and their managers at the "a la carte" restaurants 4. supervisors at the buffet restaurant 5. and many others 6. Fortunately free WiFi internet was provided, though you needed to log in frequently Hope that Cuba will recuperate quickly to the previous high level we are used to see in Cuba.

Good resort
Registration was Quick,great room Ocean view ,flood problems with toilet last 2days . fridge stocked with water and two beer the first day after that no beer for the rest of the seven days. breakfast was pretty good had bacon every day and Omelets were great. 24 hour snack bar was not good pizza had a little bit of cheese on it that was it no toppings available fries were off and on during the day. The supper buffet was okay there was always something to eat the chicken wings were pretty good. The Spanish wine was excellent with all of the meals both white rosé and red. The sports bar was great could play pool bartender made excellent drinks . The entertainment at night was pretty good had an excellent hard rock band performing one night playing all the great old songs. The personnel was quite happy to help you with any needs that requested. The grounds around the area were kept up and the gardeners were very pleasant always saying good morning to you when they would see you. The beach was beautiful warm water and plenty of chairs to go around. Now the bad things mosquitoes and bugs were horrible bitten badly ,in the restaurant flies all over the tables not a very nice time eating . there is no gin so I couldn’t have my favourite drink gin and tonic . overall is a pretty good trip rated the hotel eight out of 10. tipping try to bring American one dollar bills or change to their currency as our loonies and toonies they have a hard time changing it because they can’t do it at the bank so they have to ask travellers if they can change it for bills.

Great Stay !!
I have made many many trips to Cuba over the last 11 years with many of them in the Cayo Coco / Cayo Guillermo area. Having stayed at many of the resorts in Cuba, I would like to say that this was one of the best Cuban experiences yet. My friends and I had the suites 6314 and 6315 that looked directly over the beach with a commanding view of the ocean. The room was very much first rate and worth the price. The hotel is well done with great services and facilities to keep you well entertained and comfortable during your stay. Upon our arrival, Marianne and her colleague, Roxana, were fantastic at reception when we arrived and through out our stay with a very strong interest in making sure that we had the best stay possible. The ladies had a great working relationship with their Manager Rafael Peñaranda. He was very focused on supporting his team to drive the vision of great service and efficient solutions to client needs. Thank you very much for everything. Around the resort there were many wonderful people doing great things that just made the stay fantastic for all. Yurida made sure our room was impeccable. Beyond cleaning, she would add little touches that made us feel welcomed and at our home away from home. For breakfast and lunches, we always sat in the section that Dainarys was responsible for. She worked so hard in the heat of the summer to make sure she did her best for the clients. She always was warm and welcoming and a model of eloquence. Mary was one of the entertainers. She has a personality that motivated everyone in her pool exercise sessions in the morning and to get people up on stage to sing Karaoke at night. She clearly became the motivation for the fun many people had. Separately, for those into scuba, Coco Diving has been a go to location for many of my diving trip. The Manager is a man by the name of Noidel. I have known him for many years from when I did my my open water certification to now, as a diving friend and fellow instructor. Noidel. the Instructor staff, and Yail are some of the finest people and professionals I have had the chance to know. There were many more people that I would like to thank as well, like Lester and Oslaydis from Sunwing, that were just always there and happy to help that just made this trip so memorable. Even after all the trips to Cuba over the years (easily 30 to 40 trips) that I have made, I found this to be one of the most memorable and it is a great reason I would keep going back.

Check in and where to leave luggage till room ready needs improvement. No greeting with drinks only when the boss of resort was on site Water in room readily given more, no pop or beer supply issues As well at the bar ran out of coke , black tea not always available. Flies extreme in Buffett area may have sprayed as some days there were less Where to and when to exchange beach towels no communicated Would be nice to have more pillow assortment to sleep on but bed was great Great resort just needs a little more detail improvements to be top of the list Example signage to the beach, to the kids pool, time for buffet posted, where to sign up for beach bbq for lunch. Finish more cabanas looks like in process maybe shaded area at the kids pool no shade there. Almost all of the buildings had ocean view just how they are located on the property. Have to be physically able to walk, stairs as no elevator and path to beach not smooth sl down hill and a fair distance from lobby and rooms Loved the quiet evenings nothing really late! Not loud and rowdy! Would definately go again!
