After arrival we dropped off many people along the way to our resort so we had a glimpse of the exterior and lobby area of... More

The fridge was noisy, the air con didn't work, our sink fell out in the bathroom, the staff are rude. The food is cold and always the same. The crockery and plates... More

Not a great place i would say this would be a three star resort. Nice beach but thats about it. Rooms dirty and front desk staff rude. Entertainment and alacarte restaurants ok. Food was terrible to fair. No long distance calling unless you pay 2$ a minute. Drinks ok Dishes dirty and coffee not fit to drink

This was my first trip to Cuba, I knew the food wouldn't be the greatest from people who have been to cuba in the past and they were right. But besides that this hotel was very dirty, we went as part of a wedding group, there were 25 of us, 20 of us ended up getting sick throughout the week.... More

There is always gutter smell in the room, very unpleasant. We requested to change a cleaner room. The staff told us that the hotel was fully booked. Nothing they could do. Then we... More
