I visited the Playa Caleta for the first time in November 2011 with my aunt. I enjoyed it so much that i travelled back again to stay from Feb 10-17th 2012 with my fiancee. I had met people there last November who i keep in contact with and we arranged to meet back there again in February 2012 and we... More

We will return to Cuba, just not to the Playa Caleta. I did speak to many folks from eastern Canada who love the place, because they can get such a good deal. As for us folks from the west, I feel, even at a sale price we did not get value for our dollar. First, Sunwing flight down and back... More

Stayed at Playa Caleta from Feb 6-13, 2012. Had an amazing time. Staff is very friendly, very nice hotel. Remember this is Cuba so the food is not all that great but for a week it was fine. Both a la carte restaurents were fantastic! Make sure to book your reservation as soon as you get to the hotel, they... More

And most importantly, clean. - There was never a bar tender at the swim up bar. Im not a huge drinker but its nice to have the option, right? - Buffet food was GREAT! Much better... More

For the amount you can pay for a vacation here I have absolutely no complaints! No problem with check in. Beach was beautiful, staff very friendly and hotel rooms were alright. We got one facing the ocean. The only thing that is obviously persistant around Cuba is the quality of the food. Best meal is breakfast and I enjoyed the... More

I had read all the reviews before choosing our resort this year, and to be honest some of them had me second guessing myself. First, remember where you are going people!! This is not the Ritz Carleton in New York....you ARE GOING TO CUBA! They are regular people, regular hotel, regular food. If you're looking for fancy this is not... More

I was very worried about staying at this resort considering the negative reviews it has been getting lately. In my opinion, some are justified, others would depend on your personal opinion. I will give a run down of the various aspects of the hotel: Rooms: Generally pretty good. A bit rustic, but OK. My air conditioner was not working and... More

It was okay, food was good, and I loved the fact that in the morning you could have your NATURAL juice made right in front of you. Coffee was great as well! SERVICE: Service at the bar was good,although it pas packed at all times. Service at the restaurant was good, not excellent, but good. Waiters polite. BEACH: Excellent, white... More
