FOOD Probably the worst thing about this trip. Buffet was same everyday. Best was breakfast where you can get fresh pancakes or omelettes and the buns are great. Hamburgers pool/beachside were great for lunch as the buffet lunch was not appetizing. For dinner get a la carte. Make sure you are there BEFORE11 a.m. to book for the NEXT day... more

Cuba is a poor place, so for a poor place and if we compare with the house in the city, the hotel was perfect... The only... more

I travelled from canada on the 26th Sept for one week to this hotel, I have two children 23mths and 3.5 yr old we are British family currently residing in Toronto, reading reviews can be quite off putting if others have huge expectations or a bad holiday, so I am going to be honest and fair. The hotel is beautifully... more

First of all nothing is perfect so you can't expect "high quality" like you have back at home considering the fact that Cuba is a communist country. By all means Arenas Doradas was a great resort :) full of fun & so much to do DAY AND NIGHT!!! and the drinks say no more. The people there (staff) were very... more

We were taken to our... more

First of all, you all have to know you're in Cuba. Attitude with people is found in every country. Food goes with the country too, not too much but enough to eat in 40 degree weather. I found the waiters and front desk very helpful. Yes we did have to tip but we found the staff to go out of... more

First off, I need to say that I know this is Cuba and I know that the price I payed is very low (900$ for a week). We have been to Cuba a few times now (this was actually our fift trip to Cuba in 7 years). Upon arrival, we were greated with cold towelettes (we arrived late at night).... more
