LOVED IT ! My and my husband went to the PRDO with 20 other friends to get married and we did not find a fault ! Having read the other reviews leading up to the holiday i was slightly worried about the few bad reports i had seen on the hotel, but all i can say is the people that... more

PRDO is an outstanding resort very much deserving of the many positive comments it receives on this and other sites. It meets or exceeds the quality of service and level of accommodation of the AI resorts we have visited in PDC, Mexico (Secrets, RH, Sandos Beach Resort). We traveled to PRDO from July 4 to July 11 aboard Skyservice from... more

I can't add much to what has already been said about the fantastic resort. What I will add is do go, do try it you will not be disappointed. Its adults only right on the beach, with superb swimming pool, spa, loads of sports and some good trips do not miss the swim with the dolphins. The food and drinks... more

All the good things people say about this resort are absolutely the truth. Having travelled quite a bit through the caribbean... this is definitely the best all inclusive resort I've stayed at. My husband and I got married there July 1, 2008, and it's the best thing we could have ever done. The wedding was beautiful, and the only decision... more

Just returned from Paradise! what a brilliant place. We went from Manchester with First Choice and due to the cost did not book premier seats as this was about £250 each, however about 3 weeks before departure we were contacted and offered premier seats for £89 which we took. They were really good but I would not pay top price... more

Gatwick departure was on time. First choice airline was really nice. Arrival at airport Holguin was really fast. Coach trip to the PRDO was beautiful. Hotel on arrival was a waiting game for a buggy to take us to the room, so we walked carrying our bags via the main bar. Followed by many others. 5 star arrival not a... more

My husband and I were hesitant to book our vacation in Cuba - (we had previously spent a week at Club Med Columbus Isle -which of course was fantastic-but didn't have the finances this time around ) having been repeatedly told that the food wasn't very good, the fixtures often in disrepair, etc. After careful scrutiny of many resorts, we... more

This Hotel is wonderful and the cuban people are lovely. We loved the hotel and comments are mostly accurate apart from one person that should've perhaps gone on an 18-30 holiday. I will try to note some other things that have not been mentioned. Restaurants: If you like seafood, you will love all of the restaurants. We had Lobster most... more

I have been to Cuba over 8 times and I have never been to a resort where the food was good. So just to let you know Cubans are not your average chef. Be prepared to be disapointed. The buffet was our favourite. The Japanese restaurant was by far the most disapointing. They shouldn't even call it Japanese it was... more
