From day one we both had upset stomachs and needed a toilet near at all times - that was the theme of our honeymoon, except for an added 3 days of severe food poisoning. It was not just us everyone appeared to get sickness. The smell of boggy drains wafted over the pool during the day and the night was... more

Hotel is well positioned and nicely laid out in blocks of accommodation but be warned - there are thousands of mosquitoes and they seem to do absolutely nothing about them. One night our friend stopped counting at 80+ on one leg (that was from her ankle up to her knee) and both legs were the same. You couldn't sit anywhere... more

The resort was overall good. The restaurants were all good, we ate at the buffet, spanish, seafood and italian ones. The beach and pools were fine as well as the rooms...............but the mosquitoes were terrible in the evening! If you stay here take bug spray, and (benadryl, and calamine lotion) in case the bites turn into hives. The only other... more

The mosquito's were horrible, I just think that if the mosquito's are such a problem at least they should sell repellant. we brought our own but were going to run out. so we had to go to Varadero to purchase. I wouldnt go back for that reason.I found the food to be good, large varity. If you dont like something... more

This would be our 5th time in Cuba so... more

First trip to Cuba. Enjoyed it very much. Go to Havana, that was amazing. We stayed for the Tropicana show it was a typical Las Vegas show but in Spanish. We didn't get back to the Hotel until 3 am. so make the next day a pool day. I recommend the Catamaran trip to Cayo Blanc (White Island) but the... more

I came to this hotel for 2 long weeks from December 25th to January 8th! For a 4 1/2**** hotel, I, along with 10 other travelers, was disappointed of the overall quality of a Barcelo hotel chain. I would not consider going back to a Barcelo hotel again due to this experience. Our travel agent told us that through Air... more

me and my husbund decided to go to Cuba beacause we had heard that is was a good place to go for vacation and the prices were good. Well NOW we know why there were cheaper than the other groups that we looked in to. First of all i have to say that i would never go with a group... more
