This vacation was booked generally with a budget in mind. Wanted an ocean view room at an all-inclusive with a great price at a hotel with UN-atrocious reviews. The Playa Caleta looked like a great option. The 3.5 star rating made me uneasy but I was willing to give it a try. My past experience in Cuba was at a... More

Sunwing customer service terrible. Watch for overcharge seating. Elite service seating with priority entry to aircraft is non existant. Washroom in aircraft were only accessible for 5 tob10 minutes during flight because of area restriction. Hotel currency exchange was not available. Elevators were always out of order or very slow. Carefull with drinks because the ice is made with tap... More

I just returned yesterday from a solo one week stay at the Playa Caleta. I purposely didn't read too many reviews before I left, as I wanted to remain objective. (so I'm sure some of this info will be repetitive). Overall, the oceanview room was fine. I had requested a king size bed, non-smoking room and higher floor and I... More
