My boyfriend and I stayed Feb 3-10. This was our first visit to Cuba, but have been to Jamaica, and DR three times, usually to 4.5 or 5 star hotels. I had researched and read many reviews prior to desiding on SRLM. On arrival to our room we were a bit disappointed with the room we were given (very small,... More

My husband and I have just returned from 2 weeks at Sol Rio de Luna y Mares. We have been to many resorts in Cuba and this one was the nicest of all. The staff are so pleasant, always smiling and saying thank you. Even the grounds keepers and maintenance people smile and greet you when you pass. We stayed... More

My son and I stayed at this resort from January 19-26th through Nolitours. The hotel staff were wonderful and worked at solving all problems until there was a satisfactory solution. Our problem wasn't even a hotel problem but they made phone call after phone call until I was satisfied. This resort is huge! There are several buildings and a couple... More

Stayed At the SRLM Jan 26-Feb 2. Was a great holiday.The beach was outrageous and we have been to many others in the caribbean(ie. St.Lucia, Aruba,Haultulco and Costa Rica). I will not write too long of a review because i think there are plenty already. However, I will give a quick run down on the SRLM and a short comparision... More

This hotel is such a gem. The staff are always smiling and i cannot tell you how much me and my family enjoyed this break. Such a relaxing place! The one thing i would comment on is that i would have liked more variety in the restaurants which were available. We've been to Cancun and the range of cuisine in... More

Just came back from Sol Rio Luna y Mares and let me just say that it went above and beyond my expectations. I was a little worried because previous reviews were so-so and people were coming back sick. I worried for nothing, no sickness, the food selection was amazing and the grounds were breathtaking. The hotel was a little dated... More

This is a paradise beach: you just step into the water and fish are all around you. Corals are meters away from the shore so if you enjoy snorkeling this is the place for you. The hotel has the snorkeling equipment and another company has the boats and the life jackets. This produces an odd result: you can't have snorkeling... More
