This hotel should be rated a 1 star. Elevators did not work (1 only) food was beyond poor and other guests were drunk and puking in the hall ways night and day 24/7. more

If you're a fussy traveler, don't go there. I'm not and I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was very nice, my room was clean (I was lucky to not have ants in my room), the food was good (but always the same almost every day), the pool was good, and the beach was great. Not a lot of pressure... more

Bring purel and kleenex, never any toilet paper of soap or hand dryers in public bathrooms. Women were coming out of the pool bathroom and washing their hands in the swimming pool. Food was dreadful. The main entree one night was fried liver. Clean sheets and towels every day. Nice rooms, bright and cheery. Playing in the waves was great... more

I lived in Cuba for 2 years back in the early 90's. Nothing much has changed in 16 years...not that I was expecting too much. The adage "you get what you pay for" really fits. I'll start on a high-note by saying the sun, the beach, the surf and the scenery - - phenomenal. Truly picturesque and beautiful. Cuban people... more

My boyfriend and I stayed for a week at the Gran Caribe Puntarena and what a deal. The rooms were clean, food was actually quite good. We had travelled to Havana for an overnight tour with people who stayed in higher end hotels on the other end of the beach and they were complaining about the food. The staff were... more
