I was pleasantly surprised by what the Ancon had to offer. BEACH: When you stay at the Ancon, you have a 5 star beach within foot steps of your room. The beach was constantly tidied up throughout my stay. There were so many palapas that I never had a problem getting one regardless of the time of day. The beach... more

We wanted to stay for 2 nights at this hotel to relax on the beautiful beach and enjoy. We found bed bugs on the first night and the hotel was not very helpful. The next day we checked out and they denied the bed bug issue and weren't going to refund us. When you check in they make you pre-pay... more

Before I went, I noticed reviews were very good or very bad, which I put down mostly to the fact that, as in so many Cuban hotels, there are the Soviet blocks and the refurbished blocks. Get your name down for the refurbs when you book. We went low season and had a lovely room with sea view. At first... more

Stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks with a group of cyclists from Quebec. My room was a superior room in the newer section. It was clean and comfortable with a small fridge. A large bottle of water was left everyday. The buffet food was ok but got boring quickly but there was always something ok to eat. There were... more

The best thing about this hotel is the beach. Despite being a public beach, we always got sunbeds with a parasol even without 'reserving' with our towels. It wasn't packed with sun worshippers and the sea was a delight to cool off in. The hotel, on the other hand, requires rejuvenating. The food could've been better - we stayed at... more

None of us expected luxurious accommodations, but we did expect three star accommodations and services. Neither was to be found. The mattresses (we had three rooms) were old and saggy. The curtains were falling off their poles. The shower head in our room fell off. The shower curtains were dirty and moldy. The floors were not cleaned daily (not even... more

All in all, our group had a great time considering the very affordable price. Here are things you need to know: -3 hour bus ride to and from the airport -Mostly seniors. We were a group of seventeen ~21 year olds so luckily we could entertain ourselves -Free safe in room closet -Great price -Very small and basic rooms (old... more

Odd shape hotel, but fantastic location being right on the beach. No tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom and I had no plug for the sink in the bathroom. The curtains were peices of material on a pole and the air conditioning unit was stuck in the middle of the window. The whole room was 'tired' and definitely needs some... more
