Amazing vacation
marta f (New Brunswick, Canada) on May 03, 2025
I have been to Cuba several times and I must say this is one of the best resorts I have been to! The staff, the beach, the drink drinks, the food and the rooms amazing! The entertainment team, one of the b...est, especially Leo the Showman! Highly recommend this resort for vacationing.
Awesome Memories at the Sanctuary
N5474EGveram (Montreal, Canada) on May 01, 2025
In my opinion, after having been to Cuba 7 times at different resorts, Sanctuary has been my best experience by far. From the pool entertainment crew, Carlos, Rainer, Anays and Naomi - they are the best! ...Great smiles and beautiful personalities every day and night! Golden teeth at the pool is a wonderful individual, always smiling and having fun. The pool is so nice, well kept so kudos to the pool person! The snack bar employees are beautiful, always smiling and very helpful - make excellent drinks too, pina colada, daiquiris, iced coffee in the morning (don't forget to get liqueur added!) I recommend you bring a bubba cup as their paper cups aren't the best but do the trick. For snacks, we had deep fried french fries 6/7 days. Fabulous. Chicken Sandwiches are wicked good and my husbands had double hamburgers with cheese. Plenty of salt/pepper/mustard and ketchup at the snack bar. No need to bring your own. The Sanctuary restaurant - excellent food! Some days, some service was slow - but who cares, is anyone keeping a schedule on vacation, no! So we didn't mind the little wait. Great buffet selection in the morning, lunch and evening! Lots of fresh seafood. If you have an opportunity and love mussels (like me), try them! They are delicious. The fresh salmon salad was so good, my husband and I went for seconds. All of the a'la carte menu was also fantastic. We also attended the Oriental, Italian and Gourmet restaurants on the Grand Memories (GM) side, Italian - fantastic - recommend! Gourmet - fantastic tasting food and service - recommend! Italian - meh - it was ok, and it is WARM in there so be aware. We also tried GM buffet for lunch and dinner on different days, delicious hot food (lots of pasta dishes). The stuffed peppers at dinner were awesome - try em! We also ate at the GM snack bar, great chicken salad and hamburgers - hello Yarimehy! Awesome lady. There is a BBQ at the beach every day, hotdogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob (select days when they can get it), all great condiments too. The beach itself, great thanks to Alex the Sand Tiger - who provides awesome service there. Quick to grab you beach loungers and brush them clean for you. He also goes to the beach bar and will fill up your cups with your choice of drink for you, no need to get up while he is there (leave him a tip and he goes above and beyond). Great nice guy. Our room was standard, but we didn't mind. Full bath/shower combo and a stand up shower. Tiles are old but who cares? We didn't go there for the bathrooms. We went for beach/pool/sun - and we were not disappointed. We had one of the best trips of our lives and we are going back in October - the Sanctuary will be our forever
