This was my second time at the melia and was just as pleased as the first time. Saw some familiar faces again. There are some new hotels further down the beach now, but there was no overcrowding on the beach. The melia is the best beach along the strip and very clean. I will be going back this November for... more

We all want to know the negative points first don't we? Well I only found 2. The hotel restaurant was packed with flies. You couldn't take your eyes of your meal for more than a second because they would be on there eating it if you did. They were all over the bread and cakes etc, anything that was uncovered... more

We've read a lot of the reviews on this resort, and can empathise with some of the criticisms, but cannot fault the place overall. Have read that some people felt isolated and could have been anywhere, but we two-centred, and had the wonderful city of Havana to keep us busy and rid us of time-lag, and blew away the cobwebs... more

My wife and I spent a week at The Melia Santa Clara, May 8th-15th. This was our 10th trip to Cuba so we had a good idea of what to expect and what not to expect from resorts in Cuba. This resort is a good value for the price and delivered what we have come to expect from a vacation... more

My partner and I stayed here to relax after 4 weeks of traveling. After staying on Cayo Largo and being very disappointed, I was desparate for a Cuban Cayo experience. Cayo Santa Maria and MCSM did not disappoint! Firstly, the staff. You can always tell the difference btw a good hotel/resort from a bad one based on how friendly and... more

Review for Melia Santa Maria Flight: We flew Skyservice from Toronto to Santa Clara. We were on time so we were lucky enough to be at the resort by lunch time. The flight was quite comfortable, as we are not small people and have had a few flights that were like sardine cans. The transfer from the airport was quick... more

I went to Melia Santa Maria for 2 weeks with my boyfriend, we are in our mid twenties and thoroughly enjoyed the resort. This is our first long haul holiday and we loved every minute of it. The location for us was perfect, you are very isolated with no local towns, shops etc to visit but for us this is... more

My partner and I returned home from the Melia Cayo Santa Maria (MCSM) on 22nd May 09 following our two-week holiday. We travelled with two close friends and the primary aim of our visit was to relax and forget about the stresses of work – the MCSM will certainly enable you to do this. Value – We paid around £800... more

9+ hour journey from Manchester followed by a further 1.5hour transfer seemed daunting, but the thomas Cook flight was comfortable and the transfer through the Cuban countryside and villages was fascinating. Seeing the Cubans going about their daily business on horseback, commuting by horse and carriage and working the land with oxon was like stepping back in time. The technological... more

I read all the reviews for the MCSM before my wife and I went. We went with open minds and a whole lot of trepidation. When we arrived at Santa Clara Airport we were surprised to see the extent the Cubans had gone to prevent N1H1. We were told of the beautiful Cuban people but alas our first view was... more
