I couldn't find a travel companion so I my needs were for a resort that took solo travellers (without a large added fee). I wanted a resort that I could stay at to relax without day trips,etc. Outside the airport are busses for each resort so the busses do not stop at other resorts like a bad milk run. Its... More

Not only was I sick everyday from the food, went almost a whole day without toilet paper so my boyfriend had to steal some from the lobby, didn't receive a beach towel until our 4th day there and the list goes on, I waited all year...

Travelled: April 30 - May 7 2013 Let me start by saying we were a group of 6, 21 year olds. 1 couple from our group had never left canada and for myself personally I'm very picky and used to 5 stars and first class suites in DR and Mexico.

Sunwing got us there and back right on time. The cabin service was excellent. We landed at Santa Clara at about 6:30 pm and got dropped off at the Husa Resort at about 9:30 pm. The 90 minute bus ride from airport to resort was extended due to unscheduled stops along the way to allow passengers off (men and women)... More

Myself and my girlfriend traveled around Cuba going to Havana, Vinales, Trinidad and then on to Cayo Santa Maria. When we got to cayo santa maria we booked into Husa for 2 nights.

As mentioned in many previous reviews, the beach is beautiful, grounds well kept and room cleaning great. The public washrooms are far from clean...many do not have toilet seats, tissue or paper towels. The only benefit we got from booking exclusive club was the a la carte breakfast.... the only meal we looked forward to. This is my 9th visit... More

Husa was our 3rd trip to Cuba. First 2 were to Varadaro. This was a great "get away from it all" kind of vacation. The resort was about half full and there was ample staff to take care of the guests. Our room was clean and close to the beach and pool. Housekeeping was great. Our bar fridge was filled... More
