In order to update this review, I needed to cancel via TA my review of May 2009. This was my second trip to the Barlovento in 2009, and the following would be my comparisons. First when I was there in May, I started researching the Barlovento before deciding on our stay there, and it was initially rated as #16, but... more

I stayed at the Barlovento for a week, returning on November 22, 2009. I am a budget traveller who normally stays in hostels and cheap b&b's. It was my first time in Cuba and anywhere "down South" generally so when I read the reviews, I didn't know what to expect. When I arrived, I was instantly taken by all of... more

My husband and I spent the week of November 10th at Barlovento. We couldn't have been more pleased with the resort, beach, the pools, resteraunts. The evening entertainment was first class, and the staff from room maids to waiters and bar staff were extremely accommodating and nice. We especially enjoyed the Mexican/Cuban Resteraunt, but the buffet for breakfast and evening... more

The hotel had lovely rooms, clean and tidy. It is all inclusive hotels so you are never hungry or thirsty. After two weeks the food variety gets a bit boring however I cannot complain. Large breakfast, lunches and dinners. Lovely beach, lots of sports facilieties...pedals, snorkeling, diving, beach volleybal, water polo. You cannot be bored in the hotel. They also... more

My boyfriend and I never been to Cuba. Our expectations were not high; after all, we were going back in time, greeting communism and a place where locals cannot leave the island. Imagine that... I took couple thousand pictures that I will upload on internet with a link in the near future. We booked our trip with West Jet from... more

Can't understand what the bad reviews are from, everything was more than expected.....if you want 5* luxury treatment then you really shouldn't be looking at this sort of holiday to start with. Hotel was clean and very friendly, the food was plentiful and more than edible and the evening entertainment was very good. The beach is beautiful and it was... more

For people who want 5 star super all inclusive luxury, nowhere in Cuba you will find it. But if you are looking for a clean hotel with a few pools, descent food and lots of laughs this is the one for you. \the entertyainment was excellent with an aquq=atics show, romance, varitye and others. If there are problems customer service... more

Food was terrible. O.K. breakfast was all right but other than that i would have preferred grilled cheese sandwiches. Did look forward to one meal , fresh fish on the barbecue. When I asked for a piece and the chef reached for it all the pepper flew away. Disgusting. Laundry broke down so no fresh sheets or towels. Staff were... more

After reading various reviews before departing for this hotel, my partner and I were very worried. We read horror stories about bad food, dirty rooms and awful service. I can safely confirm that we didnt encounter any of that. Our room was large, comfy and clean, the maid service was excellent and we had clean towels every day. The staff... more

We arrived at the 4* Barlovento Hotel for 10 days after spending four days in Havana and was given a room with a balcony for one, the room was smelly and the mattress stained, so we asked for another room, which was the same, after viewing two more rooms we decided to take the best of a bad lot, it... more
