My husband and I stayed at this resort from April 11 - 19, 2012. We had never been to Cuba and weren't too sure what to expect in terms of food, accommodation, etc. This hotel was recommended by a friend who happens to be from Cuba. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The staff were excellent and went... More

We think we must have been the luckiest people on holiday when we got upgraded to this hotel instead of the Barcelo marina palace due to it being full. Everything from checking in, the service, the beautiful pool area is just gorgeous with white floaters. The beach is lovely. Now dont expect this beach to be anything like Barbados beach... More

Stayed at the Paradisus Princessa the week of May 18th to the 25th. The hotel grounds, pool and rooms were very nice. Well maintained, clean and comfortable. The staff are warm and friendly. The beach is spectacular there and definately the highlight of our trip. The only disappointment was the food. The buffet was the same day after day. Quality... More

My Fiancee and myself stayed here for two weeks from the 26th April 2012, and we had an amazing time. You cannot compare Cuba to any other All Inclusive you have done ie Mexico etc as the standards are on a different level but not by too much, but they do wonders considering all the embargo's etc. The hotel itself...

We had been to Cuba 5 years ago as our first "together" trip. When deciding wedding venues, Cuba was it! We enjoyed ourselves as much the second time. It was AWESOME! The staff (entertainment (Natalie and Chang) to wedding planner (Yanet) to front desk to bars (Yasset)) were great! Helped with everything! And definately remembered faces, which was a nice... More

Cuba was amazing. We all absolutely loved it and there were 6 of us in our group. Everyone we met on this trip was fabulous but we especially loved everyone who worked at the resort. We have vowed to come back same place, same time next year (and this is big for me because I like to see different places)... More

Landed back this morning, so I wanted to do a revieiw whilst things are fresh in my mind...... Firstly the resort is absolutely stunningly beautifull, smaller than we expected but clean with lovely well tended grounds, beautifull beach with pristine clear water, where you can walk for miles. The gardeners are so friendly and often give you a flower, and... More

Wonderful quality and variety at the buffet and many restaurants. We ate gluten free without difficulty. The evening entertainment was exceptional and fun with... More

Check-in: Our room was not ready when we arrived so we took the time to enjoy lunch and the scenery. It was a welcomed change not having to wear hotel bracelets like at other all inclusive resorts. Room: lots of closet space, a comfy bed, decent sized balcony. The air conditioner was not cool enough, even on its coldest setting.... More

The service was awesome it was amazingly clean and there was never lack of something to do or entertainment. Our favourite part about the whole resort was the beach. It was quiet and very peaceful. No music and we werent stacked on top of... More
