We stayed here in Apr 2013 for two nights. As our first experience in Cuba is was a bit of a disappointment. This is a tired facility lacking much charm, but functional. The staff tried their best to help out and take care of issues, but they don't seem to have good training or many options. Once we checked out... More

This all inclusive 7 day trip through Air Transat only Costed us $600USD after taxes. The hotel was small; surprisingly clean & very quiet in January. The rooms are old fashioned, but clean; the view nothin to brag home about, but the lovely weather made up for it. The staff were helpful & friendly (the young male staff, very flirtatious).... More

the best out of it is the location probably - walking distance to the centre- overall dirty - however they tried their best to make it up even our room was upgraded so we could stay by the beach- we are not picky but this place needs a proper refurbishment and deep clean - think twice before you book it.

We have been to Holguin, Manzilillo (plz excuse spelling) and Varadero a few times but this was the first time we ever dropped from a 4* to a 2* and must say this was the best vacation we have had. Keep seeing "pools" on here but there was only one pool with toddler pool attached. The food, well i am... More

My wife and I visited Feb 13. We were perhaps unlucky, our room was N facing so we never got the sun and the view was over roofs more than gardens. The complex was fine, nice pools, ideal for children, but that was perhaps as well because the beach shelves steeply and the sea was rough at times with strong... More

We have stayed at this hotel 2 of 3 recent trips to Cuba. Unfortunately it was not a choice in a pkg for our most recent trip. Although this is rated a 2 star, I must say I prefer it over the 4 star that we stayed in last month. Of course we had an oceanfront property, and we were... More

On windows outside was remainings of broken glass. One night we had a gecko and a worm in our room, but cleaning lady Odelys, took care... More

Our stay was in Jan. 2013. The resort for the most part is typical of Cuba. Although the quality of the buffet food was better than many of the other ones we have stayed at, the variety was lacking and got repetitive (remembering that this is winter here, not everything is in season). Like most resorts, there is a grill... More
