Beautiful Cuba
Kim A on Dec 13, 2024
We were there November 19 for a week. We paid for diamond club and worth every penny. The food was great and people are amazing! I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and to this resort it’s beautiful. They are upgrading buildings but at no time did you notice. We look forward to another visit!!
WORST TRIP EVER!!
elexploratordevida (Moncton, Canada) on Dec 12, 2024
Where do I even begin? This was my fourth trip to Cuba, so I knew not to expect much when it came to food. We chose Cuba for one main reason: affordability. We were on a budget, and Cuba offered the most reasonable prices. Upon arrival, we opted to upgrade to the Diamond Club (that came to 700$US for the both of us), which promised perks like more à la carte dining options, better drinks, superior service, upgraded rooms, reserved seating at the beach and pool, included activities, and an overall enhanced experience. Unfortunately, we quickly realized this was a massive lie and an outright rip-off. Our room was not one of the newly renovated ones. The à la carte restaurants were so disappointing that most people with reservations left mid-meal to search for better options at the buffet. The bars frequently ran out of essentials like sugar, mint, vodka, and more. Adding to the frustration, the website photos showed the resort surrounded by water features, but when we arrived, they were empty. A few days later, they began filling them, but the water reeked of sulfur, making the entire resort smell like rotten eggs for the rest of our stay. To make matters worse, the resort was undergoing renovations—a fact not disclosed when we booked. While renovations might not seem like a big deal, they completely ruined the relaxing atmosphere we paid for. Instead of tranquility, we endured constant drilling and construction noise. Resorts typically warn guests about ongoing renovations and offer discounted rates, but that wasn’t the case here. The beach was off-limits for the first few days due to strong waves, leaving us with only the pool. However, even there, Diamond Club members had no reserved section as promised. When we raised our concerns with the manager and requested a refund for the Diamond Club upgrade, he smiled, claimed he would look into it, and then avoided us for the rest of our stay. For context, I’ve previously stayed at a 3.5-star resort in Varadero that was better than this one in every way. To make matters worse, we booked this trip before the hurricane and power outages. Our travel company refused to cancel or refund us, meaning if we chose not to go, we would have lost all our money. Looking back, I wish I had stayed home and forfeited the $1,500 rather than endure such a miserable experience. Lesson learned: I will never return to Cuba.
