Our first time in Cuba and was warned that 5 star in Cuba is not a 5 star anywhere else. This hotel was overall very clean and friendly, but don't expect the elegance or frills as some other 5 stars. The meals were better than expected, but not open all the time, so it can get quite busy at the... More

On arriving at this hotel the staff were friendly and helpful! There was a great selection of food at the hotel buffet and the restaurants were lovely! There was a wide selection of both local and internation brands of alcohol. A lot of options for excursions and watersports! The resort is not a 'gay' resort, but the staff were gay... More

I will start my review my admitting that we did not do our usual share of research for this trip as it was a last minute decision to meet family members at the Tryp Peninsula resort. Some of my review lean towards some situations that we would have been aware of had we done more research. Check In - People... More

Hey there Trip Advisor, here is a quick review on the Tryp Peninsula. Traveled alone Feb 2-9 with Transat Holidays-they are almost the exclusive tour operator for this property. I saw Transat France and I think one other tour operator from South America. No Sunwing or Sunquest at least this season. Flew on Canjet to get there-no issues Proceeded quickly... More

While there are panhandlers on the beach they are not in any way annoying and leave you alone if you aren't interested. The only annoyances are the buffet for which there are frequently lines for fresh made omelets etc. and the line for changing... More

Just got back from our first trip to Cuba. Lots of good & some bad experiences. I've been in the Hospisality Industry for 17yrs so my reveiews are honest and accurate. 1) Fight and Transfer- Flew Air Transat out of Vancouver and got into Varadero @ 4am. Only flight in so going through customs and getting are bags was very... More

Arrived Jan30 stayed a week, thank goodness it wasn't any longer. We were very anxious to leave. They say it's a 4.5-5 let me tell you otherwise, this resort was a big letdown. Don't g et me wrong the resort is very big, 1 buffett restaurant, so you know what that means, its a 500 room resort so low and... More

I too stayed in Villa 17, second floor, in my opinion a good central location to the pool, beach and restaurants. I echo the comments of the persons below...good value, and good(for Cuba) food. A couple of minor areas could use improvement....at $10 per hour the internet was unbelievably slow....I have used the net from Afghanistan and it was a... More
