Hotels in der Nähe von Cayo Coco, Cayo Coco

This was not our first trip to Cuba, but was our first trip to this resort and something lower than a 4.5 star (rated 3.5 on Air Transat). With what we paid for the trip, our expectations were met. This doesn't mean this is a resort for everyone. Firstly, I really believe anyone travelling to Cuba (especially post COVID) really need to understand what they getting into. Cuba had food issues before that are only worse now. I read a couple of the recent reviews on here and I would agree with them. - cockroachs were in our bathroom, and in the main buffet. When we reported the roaches in our room they promptly sprayed and we didn't see them again. (Oddly enough, after they sprayed the AC in the room worked better too) - only have the resort was being used, and even with that maybe 2/3 of the rooms seemed to be used - shortage on beverages. Only cola, diet-cola, orange Fanta, and some Tonic was available. Beer and liquor was plentiful. Most days had Pina colada and lemon/lime slushies. Unfortunately I could not get a Mojito anywhere while other resorts (higher star ratings) did have them. Again sad not to have a mojito but expected that not all places would have them. Rooms and resort - Definitely can see the age of the buildings and proper updates would help. However, this is Cuba and is rated on Air Transat as a 3.5 star, so this is expected for Cuba. Food - disappointed in the lack of variety for the buffet and snack bar. The buffet was very small, with the same rice and beans served everyday. Plenty of fish and chicken. The snack bar only served fish, chicken, cheese, ham and cheese sandwiches. Sometimes only one of these was available while the last couple of days they did have ”hamburgers” (essentially ground beef on toast). A la Carte - Our package included 2 a la cartes for the week. We chose Asian and Italian, while friends chose Asian and Mediterranean. Asian - 1/2 the menu was not available and the chef attempted to make sweet and sour chicken. ”A” for effort. The italian was actually quite good (really get the lasagne). Beach - Cuba is renowned for its beaches and Cayo Coco did not disappoint. There is some coral close to the beach that hosts fish and is always fun for the kids to get a glimpse. There are sometimes some small jellyfish that would wash in. I swam around them not thinking much of it but apparently they can sting (just need either vinegar or dry sand on the sting if needed). We did a 1.5 hour trip out to the coral reef close by (15 min sail one way) and loved it. The price was excellent for this as well. Staff - I would say that the staff were generally excellent and had a smile for us. One annoyance was the constant pressure to tip at every encounter. One staff member did hold out their hand once expecting a tip which was a little too much. and another time looked for a tip when we were only in our swimsuits (where to keep money?) I'd rather pay more money for a resort where tips are included up

Hotel im Allgemeinen, das eine Modernisierung benötigt, es zeigt, dass es ein paar Jahre alt ist. Der Service und die Aufmerksamkeit der Mitarbeiter sind für mich, zumindest aus meiner Erfahrung, das Beste am Hotel. Das Essen lässt etwas zu wünschen übrig, abgesehen davon, dass es nicht immer alles gibt. Es lohnt sich, im Restaurant Malecón zu buchen, sowohl der Service als auch das Essen sind besser als bei der Selbstbedienung. Und auch die Strandbar ist wegen der Umgebung und Ruhe eine gute Idee. Was die Animation angeht, probieren die Kinder es aus, allerdings ohne große Ergebnisse. Die Shows am Abend sind im Allgemeinen gut, allerdings sollte zwischen Show und Club nicht so viel Zeit vergehen. Dazwischen vergeht fast mehr als eine Stunde und den Menschen wird kalt. Der Strand ist nicht breit und ziemlich verschmutzt mit Algen usw. Obwohl sie versuchen, sich täglich um sie zu kümmern. Ich denke, dass es im Allgemeinen ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bietet. Aber für den Strand ist es besser, nach Playa Pilar oder ein anderes Hotel zu fahren.

I was at the hotel during the Christmas holidays and it was an unforgettable experience. The dinner was incredible and delicious. An applause to the chef. I really enjoyed the activities and shows that the entertainment team organized. Congratulations to Rogelio and Alcides, the dance troupe was impressive. Greetings to Keila and Arlety, they are very friendly and fun. Congratulations to Sergio, Mary and Orestes for preparing excellent drinks. I hope to return soon.
