We traveled the last week of January -- having read some of the reviews posted, we were a bit concerned but figured we would take our chances (we paid 650 per person) Overall, the resort was decent, but a few things would stop me from returning. Firstly, the positives. The resort is a small, quiet place, with the prettiest beach... more

This was my second trip to Cuba. The first being to Varadero, a 4* hotel in Dec 2008 and I hated it. This hotel was not that much different, but there were a few things that compensated for the flaws First of all, I believe a trip to the Carribean depends mostly on weather. Should it be unwelcoming to you,... more

Brisas Covarrubias, Cuba - we went there in January, 2010, for one week. Yes, the ride is really long with - beware! - no bathroom stops (2 hours 10 minutes one way, almost 3 hours back, due to the morning rush hour traffic - slow bycyclists ahead of the bus everywhere on a narrow road), but since it was during... more

I made my third trip to this resort in December of 2009. I am a well seasoned traveler that has been in hundreds of one to five star resorts and hotels. This resort is for the traveler who goes on a holiday and lives by the motto, no expectations no regrets. I paid a very cheap rate by Canadian standards... more

My husband and I went to Covarrubias December 19th to December 26th. We flew with Sunwing. The flight there and back was good and on time both ways. Landing, getting through customs, getting our luggage and exchanging money was a breeze and took all of 15 minutes. We found the Sunwing rep right outside the exit and we were directed... more

After several years with visiting Brisas Covarrubias (formerly Villa Covarrubias), we were pleasantly surprised to find exceptional changes during our recent vacation. Although we had enjoyed as many as twenty or more visits since the hotel opened in 1990 and after reading some negative reports, we decided to return. The hotel, even though it suffered horrific circumstances, survived the hurricane... more

When some travellers mention "long bus ride from airport", they forget to detail it: it's almost three hours drive on horrible road, when driver mainly tries to avoid large holes and bumps just to dive to smaller ones. Up&down, left&rigt... For almost three hours. My bottom was aching for two days after this ride, and it is aching now after... more

I've been to Cuba 4 times, however this was my first time as a solo traveller. I was looking for an inexpensive 1 week getaway in the middle of nowhere that offered peace and tranquility. This place hit the spot! I read all the reviews prior to going and decided to book the last week of November 2009, I was... more
