The Good: Beach was awesome with crystal clear water and soft sand, resort grounds were well maintained and had a great set up. My girlfriend said I must comment on the fluffy new bath towels as well. The public areas/bathrooms were clean and the coffee bar was great. Shower always had hot water and we got a big bottle of water each day. The entertainment on New Year's eve was very nice, and the buffet that night was above average. The luggage porter, Felix, was very nice to us and greeted us every day. He was helpful in many ways, and his service was much appreciated. There was a male bartender who worked at a small welcome bar in the lobby who always provided excellent service as well.
The not so good: The food was not the best, with the exception of the meal on News Year's eve.The bed linens weren't great and not very clean and the room was a little dated. Our first room had no safe and the sliding door had no lock. We had to change rooms again as 2048 had a cockroach (peaking at my girlfriend when she was in the shower....not good!!). They were very quick to move us to a higher floor. Service was usually slow at the bars and the buffet. They do try their best, but are under staffed. Service was better at the a la carte, but the food wasn't. Two in our party of six got sick mid week and kind of put a damper on the trip, especially New Year's eve. Personally, I could put up with most of the issues, but I was done with the food by day 3 and getting sick really turned me off returning here.
The resort does have the potential to be a good one if they improved the service and the food safety standards, variety and quality.
The resort is very average, but definitely a good stay. It’s important to remember that Cuba doesn’t have the resources as other countries do and for the price your paying, you’re definitely getting your money’s worth.
The buffet food is ok, I guess for Cuba it’s decent. The snack bar offers Hot Dogs, burgers and sandwiches when ever u’ve missed the buffet.
The bbq by the beach isn’t very good unfortunately. The grill hasn’t been cleaned in a veeeeery long time and everything tastes burnt. I would definitely recommend bringing some condiments from home, that way the food will taste better!
Drinks are always available and most of the staff is very friendly.
Our maid cleaned our room every day, so we had no issues with bugs or dirt. Our air-con worked, but we couldn’t turn it off, so our room was always cool, which was actually very pleasant.
The entertainment was actually surprisingly very good as well! We stayed for a week and every day there was a different show.
All in all, I would come back to this resort!
We arrived and the receptionist told us that we had to pay again as they hadn't received the payment yet (although it was already fully charged), and that she could not check us in, unless we pay again, at least one night. We argued and finally they agreed to keep only our credit card (which we didn't like).
Then we had to keep trying to clarify with booking.com but it was their problem, although they made it our problem. We spent hours every day trying to get in contact with booking.com, instead of enjoying our vacation. Their attitude was terrible, they were not flexible and were treating us as we were the problem, and we had done something wrong.
The hotel is advertised as a 4 star hotel, with very very high prices, and the service and cleanness of the whole place is the worst we had had.
The food was also very bad quality, we both got sick from it.
You can read more details about everything in other reviews but basically:
- the staff is not friendly at all
- everything is degraded or broken
- their stock is really low on everything. If you want something (even basic), there are 90% chances that they don’t have it anymore (food, drinks, clean towels, WiFi cards...)
Of course, that is not the worst place on earth.
But given the price, the kind of hotel and the expectations, I would never recommend this hotel.
The front desk staff was great, our maid was amazing our room was always clean and had fresh towels every day. All of our kids had so much fun at the pool everyday we would spend our morning at the beach then had to move to the pool. It was never hard to get a chair at the pool, lots of room and plenty of chairs for everyone. The food was okay but at lunch we really enjoyed the bbq down by the beach. All the bar staff was great never had to wait long for a drink. Every evening for dinner they had a large table ready to accommodate all 20 of us together. So at the end of the day I would recommend this hotel to anyone travelling with children of all ages. Evening entertainment was great and you have to watch the water show in the pool.

"I'd suggest planning a day / evening trip to the Varadero strip in town. It helps break up the food at the resort and also has entertainment"Read full review
