Positive :

Nice hotel, clean and beautiful site. The beach is beautiful, the food is good and the staff pleasant. The rooms are pretty good but not great. This place is well above the Sol Cayo (no cockroaches in the rooms).

Negative :

None except the temperature. Cuba in February, it's a gamble.

Positive :

Very beautiful beach. The three a la carte restaurants were very well attended especially the "Isabel and Fernando." The site is beautiful with palm trees and flowers, although a bit difficult to unravel because of the small paths. The cleanliness was up although some public toilets, including those of the lobby (the men's side) had a fairly strong odor. Very good service in general. We had a problem of freshness in the room because the air conditioning was not working well after 2 appels'au customer service, repairs were made to our satisfaction. Bars and snack bars are good choices (beer, drinks, fun Guelle, hot dogs, Hamberger etc..) Good evening entertainment especially with groups / musicians.

Negative :

(S) buffet (s) is (are) redundant (s). Fortunately it is possible to cook different alliments (pasta, fish, meat, etc.) which improves the quality since it is already cooked is often overcooked, warm and / or unappetizing. Lack of chairs at the beach like many other hotels.

Positive :

Clean, good service, extraordinary color of the sea, beautiful beach, friendly staff speak a little French. At the restaurant a la carte'' Romance'' I ate the beef of a quality unmatched in Cuba. The red wine made in Cuba'' El Marques El Habana'' is superior to all domestic wines.

Negative :

Almost nothing to make your stay that little nightmare. Very large complex. Provide a flashlight above the first evening as easy to misplace'' hang out'' your plan. The distance between the hotel and the airport is 2 hours long'' minimum''. The evening shows are not extraordinary.

We just returned from Melia Las Dunas. It is a heavenly place. The site is almost new. Attention, you have to walk much of his room to go to the beach. So warning to people who have difficulty at this level. Water = the best I've seen in my life! Otherwise, the food is vile. Honestly, we do not eat very well (surprisingly, it is Cuba!), But even in restaurants a la carte. The only one who is "good", the "Romantico". * Far from the airport. 2:00 bus to go ... Servers and others are far from the hotel to the tip (and if you give them a single peso, it's like if you do not give). If you do not leave every day, you will not be served! Otherwise, in general, water, the room (not the same standards of cleanliness here, the bed was not changed residence, the sweeper was not increased either, but we had clean towels daily), the site, the atmosphere = Extra. I recommend it. As this is a big site, there is something for everyone and you will surely find the people you hear! The pool 18 and over and enjoyable if you do not want to hear too much noise. Otherwise, the other pool is family and that is where the activities take place. Las Dunas and why? Once on the beach of fine white sand, you will understand! Once in the sea, you swim a little bit and then you get on a dune in the middle of nowhere! It's as if you were alone in the world! Magic! And for weddings, there was every day that I was there! Great place, especially for the photos! I made a business: I went swimming with the dolphins by catamaran. This is totally awesome! A childhood dream realized! Go ahead!

Positive :

The sand, the beach, water, location, the dune

Negative :

Food, "always pay" for everything to everyone every day, far from the airport

Positive :

To put this in a situation we are in cuba not a five star in Montreal so if we ca led early this hotel offers a 99% good for 1% poor. The beach is the best I have visited in the course of my six trips to cuba and my 5 other (Mexican Republic). You can walk miles of beaches and magnificent white sand with a fine. The sea is linear so you can walk there long before the water shoulders. No coral, but sand was soft perfection. Can therefore can deep dangerous for youngsters. The staff is great and very helpful, they speak a little Spanish will give you a smile for sure (even as you would like to have tourists here that the power to speak your language). The hotel is well maintained and fauna of the site is very mature and pretty. The buffet is very good. For those who say it lacks variety and not eat all that the buffet has to offer on the first night (the 50 different varieties of dishes) and you can eat what's different every night (like home). At home a person eats a little of everything every night, everyone feels yours has only one variety of meals vary a little question. Made like in the south. Of course be careful with fruits and vegetables, water and earth in which they grow is not the same at which your body is so used: small risk of stomach ache if we exaggerate (ca worth for all travel in the south), so nothing bad if you're prepared. Regarding cats around the best restaurants worth ca critters such as snakes. Make your choice, it is not in cuba Montreal. Rate animated those who want to be pulled by the arm to say that there you are not a good place, it's not a Club Med. There are many activities schédulées attention has therefore lent them so you want to by. The evening dance in the central square, not miss ca. The evening shows are not the best, if you want action and evening super active go to a club med or 3 star. The hotel is a 4 and a half so accessible to people of all ages, so Action moderate.

Negative :

If you are aware that you are not in cuba has the incredible luxury of a 5 star in Montreal or you're used to the food and bacteria, so inevitable, in the water that contain vegetables and fruit of all the country, to which you are not used, you spend an amazing trip. This hotel has very few negatives other than those whose clients are the cause. Urinate in a toilet and not listed and public toilets remain clean. Not drink as soualons and you have less chance of having tourista. Not eat too many vegetables and fruits, and stay résonnable you would not have traveler's either. Bring pills billion bacteria issues to help to rebuild your corp ca flora face a food that you are not used. In short-sighted and be aware and negative points, you caused yourself, will be positive points.

Positive :

I was at the Melia Las Dunas from March 14 to 21. I spent a wonderful week. The turquoise sea is a breathtaking, white sand beach is very long ... for lovers of long walks on the playa! The beach is narrow end only adult familly side, it is very deep. The vegetation on the site is abundant and just beautiful. The lobby is beautiful: in the evening, this is where it's happening! The show was very entertaining and correct. The a la carte restaurants are very good ... the "Romantico" is certainly one you will need to book first (cozy atmosphere, candlelight and piano accompany your meal ...). Many animation and music at the pool familliale if that is what you are looking for otherwise you will find tranquility adult side. The hiking catamaran (72 convertible pesos), it is YOUR business of the week that we should not miss ... believe me! The "check in" is on the bus on her way to the hotel so you can go directly to your room upon arrival. Also during this same journey, you make a virtual visit of Santa Clara, you may like ... The Friday night buffet, it's lobster will ... Try these! Finally, the Cubans are very friendly and always make an effort to speak or understand French.

Negative :

I got my beach towels after 2 days ... I simply could not believe it. I am in the South to enjoy the beach but there was more beach towels for my wife and I ... we have repairs made with towels! Not very strong for a 4 1/2 stars. By late afternoon, if you're not first, you will not succeed in changing your beach towels ... they were in constant shortage of towels ... The paper towel is toilet paper (not a joke). No iron or ironing in my room and even if it is included in the package, no employee of the hotel has managed to get one ... shortage of iron they told me! The chairs of sun at the beach ... must arrive at 8 hrs in the morning to have a ... shortage of chairs? They have a fleet of bicycles for those who wish for a ride: These bikes have 15 years in moin, rusty, no brakes for the most flat tires for a few, short, I never managed to in find one in working order and safe. It's a little anything this situation! How a hotel 4 1/2 stars can make available to its customers such Feraille? -Here are some details that have been irritating for me but that does not prevent me from spending a wonderful week ... in this hotel that I like a 4 star rating at the most.
