Can't understand what the bad reviews are from, everything was more than expected.....if you want 5* luxury treatment then you really shouldn't be looking at this sort of holiday to start with. Hotel was clean and very friendly, the food was plentiful and more than edible and the evening entertainment was very good. The beach is beautiful and it was... more

For people who want 5 star super all inclusive luxury, nowhere in Cuba you will find it. But if you are looking for a clean hotel with a few pools, descent food and lots of laughs this is the one for you. \the entertyainment was excellent with an aquq=atics show, romance, varitye and others. If there are problems customer service... more

Food was terrible. O.K. breakfast was all right but other than that i would have preferred grilled cheese sandwiches. Did look forward to one meal , fresh fish on the barbecue. When I asked for a piece and the chef reached for it all the pepper flew away. Disgusting. Laundry broke down so no fresh sheets or towels. Staff were... more

After reading various reviews before departing for this hotel, my partner and I were very worried. We read horror stories about bad food, dirty rooms and awful service. I can safely confirm that we didnt encounter any of that. Our room was large, comfy and clean, the maid service was excellent and we had clean towels every day. The staff... more

We arrived at the 4* Barlovento Hotel for 10 days after spending four days in Havana and was given a room with a balcony for one, the room was smelly and the mattress stained, so we asked for another room, which was the same, after viewing two more rooms we decided to take the best of a bad lot, it... more

We got back from the Barlovento a couple of days ago - having read some of the reviews before we went we were a little apprehensive but aware that a hotel is never going to please everyone. The Barlovento was actually much better than we expected. It was very clean and we found the staff to be excellent. Hotel and... more

Like previous reviewer from Huddersfield I would go along with everything stated. We probably stayed at the same time 22 September- 2nd October. A few things I would add. The hotel does have 296 rooms none of which are non-smoking rooms consequently all the bed linen headboards etc reek with tobacco. We threw all our bed linen and covers etc... more

I've just got back from Cuba and had a brillant week stay at Barlovento Hotel. I've read a lot of reviews about bad food, poor service etc. I fail to understand what those people are talking about. We're talking about Cuba here, practically a third world country, its not Spain. I found the staff to be very welcoming, from the... more

If you want to stay sober and be insulted by the bar staff on your holiday, then this is the place for you. Here is a small tip take your own beer glass because you do get a little fed up of drinking out of flimsy plastic cups, 5 flimsy plastic cups to a pint means numerous trips to the... more
