After reading some of the reviews here, I expected very little, but Bucanero was a great place to stay! Some of these reviewers are terribly unrealistic or simply spoiled, because what you get for a mere pittance is cleanliness, great comfort, plentiful good food, unlimited drinks, a gorgeous natural environment, and friendly helpful people. For what I payed, any complaint... More

Our 1st trip to Cuba coincided with our 1st trip to Bucanero! According to photos in our memory box we were there in 1988 and again in 1992. Thus began our Cuba journey around the island. Now, after 20 years we’re back where it all began. We flew with Sunwing at a very good price. $1500, taxes in, for the... More

We love Cuba. I'm visiting for the 4th time next month. In August 2011, we took a risk and booked a different resort from our usual spot (near Camaguay) b/c it was a good deal. That's how we ended up at Club Bucanaro, in Santa Lucia. The experience was absolutely dreadful. I don't even know where to begin. I'll start... More

I cannot begin to explain how lovely this vacation was. We stayed here in April 2012. Everything from the daytime activities, to the food, drinks, the staff, the accommodations, the sea, was great for us. Please ignore all the negative comments. You will have a lovely time in Bucanero

Had great time! Everything was good, we stayed in the block 1 which is right by the beach, it might be a bit of a walk down to the restaurant, but we didn't come there to sit in the room or stay in the restaurant, plus walking is really nice! - Room was really good and clean, always had a... More

I stayed at this resort for one week April 18-25th, 2012, In general the weather was great and I did get what I paid for, maybe a little less. I expected slightly better food with more seafood and better room conditions. Negatives: -Food was very bland and tasteless, same things everyday with a lack of seafood, some food items were... More

We loved everything at Bucanero. It's a 3 star hotel, but we found it nicer than any 4-5 star at Varadero. Great location, snorkeling every day, amazing beach.. Friendly and helpful stuff. Food is tasty and well prepared. Great night shows every day. Will definitely be back. P.S. Thanks Alejandro (from the reception desk) for the nice trip to Santiago!
