Be Live ...believe you will have a wonderful time!

Reviewed Mar 15, 2020
First of all, you have the most impressive setting for your vacation..the sea, the sand, the choice of pools or to sit on the beach...
You have the most wonderful Cuban people working to make your stay memorable.
You have time to relax outside, which for many Canadians will be a few more months...the birds are singing..the gardens are well maintained...you have unlimited drinks...food available somewhere on the resort at all times...
You have a dedicated entertainment team trying to assist you to enjoy your vacation and even the chance to do yoga or water aerobics.
Why not spend your time here..away from the hustle of the mainland Cuba..
Date of stay: November 2019
Room Tip: Third floor rooms facing the ocean are wonderful..first level floors are excellent if you have...

I’ve been to Cuba about 10 times and this was my second time at this resort and upon getting off the bus, I knew I had made the right choice to return.

The resort is beautiful with well maintained landscaping and great ocean views. The majority of the staff is very friendly and helpful. Leidys Ruiz Montano the Customer Service Manager is very passionate about the hotel and making sure guests have a great experience.

It’s easy to nit pick about buffet food and drink mix not being available, but that’s everywhere in Cuba right now. It’s not the Hotel or the staff’s fault. On the things within their control, everyone is always ready to accommodate you and make sure you have a good vacation. Take the time to talk to people, embrace the culture, be humble and enjoy the moment.

Ultimately, you control your experience, if you can focus on all of the positives that this resort has to offer, you will have the most amazing vacation there.

I look forward on going back with my family in October.

This resort is very beautiful and well maintained. The food was typical Cuban, pasta was good, they had salad, fish was awesome. We had two amazing servers in the buffet Claudia and Richard. They went over and about everyday for us. Our maid was awesome too. If you are going with kids I didn’t find the entertainment very good. But for a quiet relaxing stay this is your place.

I have travelled to Cuba 4 times and have been to many resorts over the last 30 years. The hotel and front line staff were good and very helpful but management was horrible. We could not get in our room due to a malfunctioning lock without the help of housekeeping or a lock tech during the first 5 days. This did not happen once a day but at least 5 times a day with reassurance that the lock is fine. When I went to the front desk for the 10th time to ask for help I was totally dismissed and told this is a guest services issue. I tried to explain that I need help that this issue is not getting resolved... I was told to go away and sit down someone from guest services would talk to me. No on ever came. My daughter who’s room was next to mine was also having issues with her door lock. She came to the front desk also when I was waiting for guest services and was also Dismissed no one ever came to help us we waited 45 minutes. My daughter was able to get a bell boy to help.. he had a technician take the locks right off. 3 hours later on the 5 th day I was given a new room the bell boy made this happen not front desk or guest services. I am so very disappointed in the management these type of issues should be dealt with right away. I will never travel to this resort again. This was a very frustrating and upsetting week.

We visited Be live collection Cayo Santa Maria. We had so much fun. The staff was amazing. Our rooms we spotless. We met Yaimara who cleaned out rooms and she was friendly and pleasant. We also met Janhna who guide who helped us around the hotel.

The whole staff were amazing, they treated us like family.

Fresh fruits and vegetables was essential to us and we got that without questions.

I would recommend this hotel to visit.

Not the mention the beach, it was spectacular.

Our family spent spring break at this resort, we were a party of 14, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces and grandparents. We had an amazing time!! The personnel of this hotel made it happen. Whether it was the golf cart drivers such as Andres or his group or Pedro and his animation team or lobby bar personnel or 24h snack bar or our amazing maid of bungalow 18 second floor, they were all amazing!! We highly recommend the à la carte restaurant, Criollo for great service and food, we went back twice!!. Overall, you will love the food if you are understanding about seasonal Cuban ingredients. The beach is the nicest I have yet to have seen and we travel lots. They have a decent workout gym and great guys working there too.
If there is one recommendation and the reason why I won’t give it a five star, is the bed mattresses. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated but mattresses are worn out and need to be replaced for a better sleep.
A huge THANK YOU to all the personnel who made our family vacation a memorable one.
