Thank you to those who have written reviews on this gem. The resort is fantastic. The grounds are superb. Staff were super friendly, my wife got a fresh flower daily from the 1 gardener Frank. The resort was 1/2 empty in the 1st week in Nov & was a great quiet place to relax. Perfect for us both to unwind... more

These are the comments I just sent to the resort ... My wife and I just left your wonderful resort and I am writing to tell you about our stay there. For the past 8 years we have stayed at Sol Melia resorts in Cuba. We stayed at Melia Las Dunas from 13 to 27 November, 2009, and were assigned... more

We stayed here Nov 21 - 28 with our 21 month old. My wife just posted a review, so i'll try not to repeat too much. The beach was awesome, fine powder white sand. We walked from the Barcelo down to the Sol, so we saw the beach at all 4 resorts on the island. In my opinion, the Barcelo... more

My husband, our 21 month old daughter and I stayed at the Melia Las Dunas from November 21st to 28th, 2009. Overall, we had a wonderful time! I'm rating this resort 5 stars based on Cuban standards (of course a 5 star in the Bahamas or Jamaica would probably be different, but for a cheaper price and a high quality... more

Beautiful grounds, very well kept pool, lots of beach chairs, shade, nice beach. Food was plentiful, nice "a la cartes"...have been to cuba 3 times this year, stayed next door at the Melia (prefer it actually...smaller). Have to agree with review below....rude french tourists...staff don't give english speaking tourists the time of day. Room cleaning staff did minimal...so I stopped... more

My husband and I stayed at Melia Las Dunas from Nov 14-Nov 21. Note that this is low season and only 48% of the resort was full therefore some of the restaurants were closed. Be prepared to get what you paid for. Apparently there was a hurricane in Cuba the week before we went and the beach was full of... more

Im not going to rant on and on about this resort, Im just going to mention a few things. The food here was terrible! Yes, I know it's Cuba, but this was my fourth time to cuba and I've stayed at 3 star resorts that had way better food than this resort. I'm the farthest from picky (read my other... more

Paid 780CAN/per person plus 25CUC for departure tax and apx $100 tips. We arrived to Santa Clara Airport at 10am in the morning. Rep. greeted us outside the terminal and gave us an envelope with room keys, a map of the resort, bracelets and everything else to complete our check-in. Our bags were put on the bus and marked with... more

We arrived at the hotel after a 9 and a half hour flight to a very warm welcome - we were greeted by cocktails and dancers. Our cases got took to our room so we had chance to explore the resort. The grounds are beautiful and the gardeners are very friendly, most mornings picked me a flower. Our room in... more

This hotel was described as 4 and a half star and it's really not. Let me just start by saying that our expectations were not really high and have travelled to other similar resorts in Cuba , Mexico, Dominican. Rooms: Comfortable and large, but little worn out, also not very clean.. every day there was something missed even that we... more
