Positive :

In general the staff is friendly and smiling. Varied choice of food. Good value for money. Good for families as there is a kids club.

Negative :

There are a lot of stairs to descend and climb to get to the beach so difficult for disabled people.

Positive :

Good quality / price ratio. Meals a la carte restaurant with delicious, we even tasted lobster snak bar at the pool (you have booked by cons). Section Luna was closed for renovations, so they alternate the a la carte restaurants Snack bar at. Good choice of drinks at the Lobby and plenty of room to sit. The rooms are nice and comfortable beds. Well situated for excurtions, delphinuim near the hotel, the site for hélicopthère excurtion has Sandiago Cuba. The sea is as beautiful as possible. And there can make snorkeling near hotel nearby.

Negative :

Animation of the beach rather ordinary. Employees who are at volleyball court are too not smiling when we respond to their need, ie providing them with the drink. The bar service is slow, by cons I think they are overloaded, lack of staff at the beach bar and pool.

Positive :

We were on our first trip (by plane) and overall we are delighted to have fought our fear of flying and to have made this fabulous trip. All rest for body and mind. We intend to repeat this great trip next year and at the same place. Mona and Guy

Negative :

The only negative comment is that we regret having waited so long to make this beautiful journey, but as the old sayings'' said better late than never.''

Positive :

EXCELLENT VALUE PRICE. THE SITE IS a bit dated but VEGETATION IS MATURE AND ANY BEAUTY. THE STAFF IS VERY DEDICATED IN GENERAL AND FRIENDLY. BEING AT THE END OF SEASON, N COMPLEX IS NOT SO NOT COMPLETED, WAITING AND EXCELLENT SERVICE. VERY HIGH AVAILABILITY FOR WATER ACTIVITIES.

Negative :

MISSING MUSIC AS MUCH AS THE SITE, THE A LA CARTE RESTAURANTS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WOULD BE EASY, REMEDY. LACK OF STORAGE ROOMS AND MANY COMPLAIN D, D SMELL, MOISTURE.

Positive :

I recommend this hotel without hesitation. (4th trip to Cuba) This is a beautiful and not too big, so all is at hand. The service is a priority at this hotel. We made three requests for work (safety deposit box, a bathing cap and a blocked toilet blocked) and we had the service in the minutes of the request, which is exceptional in Cuba. It still serves good coffee percolator table, rather than go get in a vending machine as in some hotels. The staff is courteous. The buffet is little changed, and not very different from other hotels, but it is very good. I've found the trick. (Experience buffets Cuba) This is not to put a bit of each dish on his plate every night, because it gets-restoring. One is for each evening and it seems to have the new every day. The staff does not run after us to have pourboirs and appreciate what we offer. I'd stay here with pleasure. With wall to wall sunshine all week, we had an excellent trip.

Negative :

The beach is superb, but the great walkers will often move in the same place PCQ the beach is not really long. It is blocked by two reefs at each end, but it is what allows us to do the snorkeling near the hotel. For me it is not negative because I prefer diving to walking. My room by cons, had a damp smell which I could not get rid of. I am sure that I would have changed if the room I had requested, but buff! I did not want to spend my time walking around with my bags. It would not prevent me from returning.

Positive :

Everything was great, service was impeccable, the food was excellent despite the negative comments that I heard regularly but I am not a picky person for food as long as there is variety and I am not likely chialeuse as many. I go back tomorrow morning for the site that is beautiful not to mention the beautiful beach, although this is not the greatest luxury I had in my travels ... SUPER.

Negative :

The only negative is that we stay on the 1st floor and smelled damp.

Positive :

Hello, well we loved our trip. Two single women. Beautiful beach, lots of chairs and palapa and many beautiful mature palms. We can walk only 20 minutes, against a lot of space between the chairs, it does not feel too stifling. The range is wide enough. For snorkeling walk about 5-7 minutes to the hotel Paradisius, there is a path in the sea and you will see beautiful fish and on the rocks below there are plenty of crabs to admire. The buffet is good, not very varied. The restaurant where the map excellent Italian, pasta with basil, except lasagna (they are not real pasta, they use crêpres.) Excurssion every day, with the animation team at the club house side edge of moons the beach at 9:00. We liked round trip to visit the fishing village. To discover, you will see a small school, bring pencils, paper, eraser children will enjoy. Well enjoy my holiday, hotel very interested to propre.Avis the spectalces are excellent except Saturday and Sunday (amateurs). The show at the pool side on Wednesday Moons was very special, with swimming synchonisé, unheard of things to Cuba.Apporter hair for the maids and waitresses, they appreciate it a lot. Bon voyage. If the beach is important to you, you will be delighted. Because not many rocaux, and lots of space. Magnificent view of the hotel, many hills. Do not forget round trip with dolphins catamatan to do. A Guardalavaca, good restaurant down the beach, The ANCLA to eat half a lobster with shrimp for $ 22.50 pesos, great views and good food. The restaurants all have terraces, very interesting, and you can enjoy a holiday air.

Negative :

Lack of music, and no disco. Two nights we were only me and my friend. The disco is poorly located and too tardive.Peut not be the ideal place for singles, couples and many families.The staff in general, not very rosy. Romantic restaurant not recommended, you do not have a choice of menu, we penssions eat seafood, steak full of nerve.

Positive :

People who work there are always smiling. the beach is wonderful. We particularly liked the mexican ones who gave us good service always with a smile. Raoul thank you to the representative of Air Transat, we were very useful.

Negative :

The mattress of the Hotel very poor, I thought that having a deep sleep on my vacation, not at all, they are way too hard, lack of spring, I was like sleeping on a cardboard box for 8 nights. The Italian restaurant a true joke, we saw the cook take the dough with your hands and find long hair in our overcooked pasta. this is not an Italian restaurant. I had a chicken parmigiana escaloppe with fries and Macedonia, which meal!! hum. Temperature a total flopped three days of torrential rain concécutif ..

5 th trip to Cuba. We did a very nice trip. Good quality and price. Very nice site. Long beach. We chose this destination for relaxation, beach and sun and we have been satisfied. This is not a place for young singles, but rather for families and couples. The buffet is not very diverse but always manages to find something good. Service to bars and restaurants a la carte can be slow ... but we are in Cuba! If the tourist is smiling, Cuban (e) will also ... Bon voyage ...
