FOOD Probably the worst thing about this trip. Buffet was same everyday. Best was breakfast where you can get fresh pancakes or omelettes and the buns are great. Hamburgers pool/beachside were great for lunch as the buffet lunch was not appetizing. For dinner get a la carte. Make sure you are there BEFORE11 a.m. to book for the NEXT day... more

We go there for a second honeymoon... As we arrive to take our reservation, they offer us a gift : a botte of rhum... The room was ok... Don't forget, you are at Cuba... Cuba is a poor place, so for a poor place and if we compare with the house in the city, the hotel was perfect... The only... more

the horrible food there is not good at all. but well, u can tell the materials they used are actually pretty good stuff, its just their cooking skills.. if u are a person really into watermelon, then nice, u definitely wont have any problem with their food, cuz they always have tons of fresh and sweet watermelon..but that was pretty... more

I travelled from canada on the 26th Sept for one week to this hotel, I have two children 23mths and 3.5 yr old we are British family currently residing in Toronto, reading reviews can be quite off putting if others have huge expectations or a bad holiday, so I am going to be honest and fair.
