I'll start with the positive - great weather, loved the pool and swim up bar (and bartenders) and nice beach.... The food was awful, and I didn't have high expectations to begin with but the buffet was the same stuff every day and I couldn't wait to go home...

FOOD Probably the worst thing about this trip. Buffet was same everyday. Best was breakfast where you can get fresh pancakes or omelettes and the buns are great.

We go there for a second honeymoon... As we arrive to take our reservation, they offer us a gift : a botte of rhum... The room was ok... Don't forget, you are at Cuba...

By all means Arenas Doradas was a great resort :) full of fun & so much to do DAY AND NIGHT!!! and the drinks say no more. The people there (staff) were very... more

I stayed at the Arenas Doradas for 1 week on Sept 14 to Sept 21 with a friend of mine. We arrived at the hotel at around 11:00am and our room was not ready yet, we did not want to waste any of our vacation time wauting around so we decided to get changed and head to the pool for... more

My wife and I stayed at Arenas Dordas for one week, this was our first trip to Cuba, here is our review. We arrived late in the evening and were checked into our room in an efficient professional manner, remember, there is a language barrier and you need to concentrate when speaking with the staff.
