I just returned a couple days ago and we had a great time. Two families, 10 persons and everybody want to go back to this hotel. The beach was beautiful and clean, the people very kind and overall it was a good experience. The maid, bartenders, chefs...all the staff was friendly and always willing to help. The food was decent... More

I just returned yesterday from a solo one week stay at the Playa Caleta. I purposely didn't read too many reviews before I left, as I wanted to remain objective. (so I'm sure some of this info will be repetitive). Overall, the oceanview room was fine. I had requested a king size bed, non-smoking room and higher floor and I... More

Overall I was pretty impressed, though to be fair we had told them we were on our honeymoon and actually was told that they gave us the best hotel room in the... More

My boyfriend and I just got back from staying at the Playa Caleta. It was both our first time in Cuba. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. It's a 3* resort; you get what you pay for. Food was not that great at the buffet, but we really enjoyed the a la carte restaurants. You have to book reservations in... More

This was our 3rd trip to Cuba, and this resort is the worst hotel that we have ever stayed at. I read the reviews on this resort and we went with an open mind. The price seemed good at $445 per person plus taxes at $190. This Hotel is rated as a 4 star with sunwing, after being there I... More

This was our first time in Cuba, we read the reviews and knew what to expect. Listen, you get what you pay for. If your a 5 star type may I suggest not going to Cuba, as the resorts are roughly the same wherever you go. I've heard horror stories about 5 stars out here. The vibe was great and... More

This place had a real 'single' feel to it, it might have just been a coincidence but there seemed to be quite a few older single men around the place. The staff was very nice but really did no more than needed. The one buffet was good but very limited choices. We were in room 429 and had a beautiful... More

Stayed here last year and again this year with some family. Compared to last year the food, bed and some staff, was improved greatly. But, still it is not worth paying even half the normal price. Says it’s a 3 ½ star... maybe, but not by Canadian standards. Maybe a 2. Food greatly improved since last year. But I did... More
