We had our yearly girls’ trip in Cuba this year. The staff at the resort was awesome. I think we got a little more attention because we were two girls traveling without men. Little trouble with check in, our room wasn’t ready, they gave us another one and it had not been cleaned yet.. Called the front desk and within... more

At reception during check in there was not even a drink of water or a rep to welcolme you. I had to change rooms because of mould and cigar smoke on arrival. They said they would send a porter with another room key but i had to go myself. The mosquitoes are so bad from lagoons as a breeding ground.... more

Everything was dirty dirty dirty!!! Food was always served raw, bird crap was all over the seats, seaweed on the beach, just... more

This was our second time visiting the Barcelo Marina Palace. We had been there in Jan. 2008 and then again Oct. 2009. We did have nicer weather in Oct. The ocean water was alot warmer and we could actually swim in the pools. All of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Food was quite bland but plenty of food... more

BEFORE YOU GO TO MARINA PALACE READ THIS!! I would like to say that we read all reports on this site about the Marina Palace after we booked it and were very apprehensive, we need not have worried and it would seem to us that some Canadians will never be satisfied. We stayed at the MP and we had the... more
