We Had A Fantastic Time - Will Be Back!

We had a fantastic time at Occidental Arenas Blancas in January 2025. There are some shortages, yes, such as eggs and alcohol options; the staff are doing their very best to keep everyone happy. Only one e...levator was working and there was always a staff member available to assist. Our room was very clean; although dated and in need of some updates, we were pleased--lots of hot water. There was enough food for everyone, despite the egg shortage. We did one formal dinner, Italian, at Solymar. It was ok. Loved the lunch buffet at the snack bar and went multiple times. The nightly entertainment was phenomenal! We even saw a magic show! The pool area is beautiful, the beach access was a short walk and very clean. You can always find a chair at the pool or on the beach (many people are siteseeing in town). The only downside for us was to witness some tourists giving the staff a hard time. One man was yelling in the buffet about the egg shortage. Another man was yelling because the half bottle of vodka he had by the pool the night before went missing--he blamed the staff. This is not on them! Who drinks an entire bottle of alcohol by the pool? A glass bottle? Hello?? We love the location--within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and bars. We love the staff. A special thank you to the gentleman at the entrace for alerting us to our early bus. We were having a beer by the pool and he came out and whistled at us to come in - the bus was waiting. He is a wealth of information and does his very best to help. We wish we knew his name. He was working on January 16th in the morning. Special thanks to Yacqueline in the elevator--beautiful lady and very friendly! And thank you to Yaima. She is in the buffet in the mornings, usually at the back, and at the snack bar, lunch buffet. Always smiling, very friendly, and looks for us when we come in. Many of the staff members were very kind, always smiling, and very accommodating. We will definitely be back! Thank you all! Heather & Jim

While it might be a little antique this hotel is very charming. The staff members went out of their way to make our stay extra special. They all always had smile on their faces, were friendly, lively, an...d hard working. No complaints, this was the best resort I've stayed in cuba and I've been to a handful. The food was delicious and there was a good variety from day to day and the live music at every meal really brought in some culture. The animation team did a great job. The location is ideal right in the city, i went off the resort multiple times with my family and felt extremly safe walking around with my kids. The market and bars close by are a must see. If you prefer to stay in the resort however there are lots of things to do volleyball, basketball, gym, dance, etc and even spending the whole day at the beach is incredible. I can't wait to go back.
