This was the first time my mom and I went to Cuba. The flight was short which I liked. It was a 3 hour drive from the airport to the resort but everyone slept (it was night when the plane landed). Our room was nice except for a spider but hey we're in the tropics what's do you expect? The... More

I went with my partner at the end of March for a week's holiday. The airport pickup went well and we got a mini tour on the way to the hotel. The drive was just as long as I expected it to be, but still felt quite long - I was glad to get off the bus when we did!... More

The start of our trip was rough. Our door lock didnt work and every time we wanted to enter our room we had to go to reception and request a mechanic. After 24hrs, it still hadnt been fixed, and with the help of our AC Vacations rep and some yelling we finally got switched rooms. The saving grace of this... More

This was our second trip to Cuba, the first being just ok (in Veradero), this one being excellent. The hotel is very large, which, as many of the other reviews state, requires a fair bit of walking. That really isn't a problem though, unless you can't walk. :) We were on the adult side in bulding #64 on the second... More

Twice a day ,this resort is sprayed with I think is a DDT poison to control mosquitoes-at 6;30 Am and 6:30 PM;this spray is so powerful that we had to leave our sitting area outside and return to our rooms.There was definitely a DDT smell in the air --certainly nothing good for any of us there I spoke at length...

While we cannot compare to many other places we've been in Cuba, we can say that this place was superior on all accounts, even the main beach. Our others being Cayo Largo (Barcelo and Sol Pelicano). The service, be it in the restaurants, bar, snack bars was very good. I didn't get the feelng I was being bothersome. The lobby... More
