My boyfriend and I spent two weeks at Arenas Doradas from January 19 through February 2nd. Our trip price was a very good deal, otherwise we might have been very dissappointed.

The room on 2nd... more

By week two it was getting tiresome and repetitive but edible. Watch the meat at the grill. Sometimes it is not cooked all the way through. ask for the cut you want or have... more

My husband and I were just back from Hawaii for only a couple of weeks when we found a quick last minute get away to Cuba for $500 CAD, including airfare.
