Stayed only one week but wanted to stay forever. The staff is always smiling and they greet you like family. Even the General Manager will drive you where you need to go on the site, he is so down-to-earth and friendly. My daughter and I stayed at the Royal, I like tranquility, she likes disco and the main barpool (being... More

We just got back from our honeymoon at the Paradisus. We couldn’t have asked for a better week. The hotel grounds are beautiful and huge. It’s mostly couples that stay here. Mainly the crowd was older like in their 50s but there was a number of young couples too so a decent mix. We are in our 30s and didn’t... More

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Paradisus and were very impressed with this hotel. We travel widely across the world, from basic to 5 star and we would recommend this hotel to all our friends and family. I've stayed at other Cuba hotels and they are not a patch on this one at all. The staff were amazingly... More

Rooms were very large and extreamly clean. Beach was lovely, especially watching the sunset. Pool was large and had plenty of room and sunbeds. if you do not upgrade to the Royal... More

My wife and I stayed here Jan 30 to Feb 6 and will say that the overall complex is beautiful with a very nice beach (rocky entry), nice pool area and very friendly staff, mostly. However, the food was terrible and, over a week's time, that becomes important. Poor quality meat that was cooked to order if you wanted it... More

Third time to PRDO, first time Royal Service; forever spoiled, it's RS from now on! My husband & I enjoyed a care free, romantic 10 nights from Jan 28 to Feb 7, 2012. Room 9412. Impecible warm, friendly, attentive service all around. The concierge greeted us upon arrival so gentle and sincere. Checked us in with wine and warm towel... More
