Our third time at this resort, three years in a row. It is an amazing place, very friendly staff, lovely gardens, really good food and lots to do. We noticed many upgrades since April 2012, the resort is a little older than some so they have to keep up on the maintenance to keep it in the top 12 hotels.... More

We were a couple and stayed here from 16th May 2013. We opted for the standard bungalow and was lucky that we was in the 100 section. Was really quiet with only a few minutes walk to beach or pool. We had ants on the first day but was quickly sorted after mentioning it to the Virgin rep. Pros -... More

We have travelled to Mexico several times and to the DR but decided this time on trying Cuba for the 1st time. After doing a lot of online research we decided that our best option was Sol Palmeras. We stayed in a Romance Bungalow - which was in a fabulous location - close to the main buffet/lobby, pool and beach!... More

We are a family of 3, travelling with an 18 month old. Accommodation: We opted to stay in a bungalow luxe, which afforded us more space and privacy. There was an ant infestation in the first bungalow, but the front desk staff immediately offered us another bungalow when we complained. The air conditioner was quite noisy and the beds were... More
