Tired and old resort. Everything was extremely basic from the room, to the food to the grounds. Food -- My husband ordered red snapper one night at the a la carte beach grill only to see the "chef" take the red snapper out of a frozen bag of tilapia fillets. :( Some days they had hot dogs and other days... more

This was my second trip to Cuba, the first being to Cayo Coco. Right off the bat I can tell you that the Sandals Hicacos was a total 180 from everything I experienced on my last visit to Cuba. The food in this resort was excellent, which is rather surprising as Cuba is not known for its food. I had... more

When we booked our trip we were advised by our travel agent that hotels in Cuba would be a lower standard than at home for the same rating. This is my third All Inclusive trip so I knew what to expect. We booked the Sandals resort for 7 nights and we were not disappointed. When we arrived we were greeted... more

We went to Sandals Cuba, 16-30 October 2009. We have travelled extensively – including Mexico, Brazil and Caribbean and stayed at four and five star resorts run by Beaches, Couples, Breezes and Superclubs and this was our fifth trip to Cuba, so we do have some previous to compare this trip. Overall, we found the Sandals Cuba hotel to be... more

Oh what a tired resort that needs hauling into the 21st century. A water feature circles the whole resort, shame that it is stagnant and smells of sulphur. The food is generally inedible especially at the a la carte restaurants which served up dreadful food. Beware the waiters who think you a participating in a race to finish your meal... more

Flights with Virgin were great and cabin crew in upper desk premier class could not do enough for us. Beware when you get to Havana airpot as there is a man who makes out he is your driver and is after money for carrying your cases. He asks for notes!! Resort was excellent. Staff were very helpful but some did... more

This was my fifth time at this resort since 2006 and my third this year. The reason that we keep coming back is the amazing staff!! To us, they are our friends and that is why we plan on going at least 2 times a year is to see them as we would go visit any other friends or family.... more

Nice to visit Cuba once more. We are disappointed with the Sandals upgrade to Premium Suite. False advertising comes to mind. We booked and paid through the Sunwing web site as we had before with no problems at all. My information for a Premium Suite comes directly from Sunwing’s web site for Sandals. We arrived in early evening to what... more
