We came here for two nights at the end of our holiday and it was the worst place we stayed on our trip. We arrived at 10.30 to be told the room wouldn't be ready until 3, there was no water and we had to pay 8 CUC each for lunch, although we were on an all inclusive package. All this information delivered without an apology or a smile. The food in the main restaurant was inedible. There were birds flying around inside the restaurant pecking at the food and leaving droppings on the table. There are over 80 cabins strung out along both sides of a board walk overlooking each other. Our cabin was old, tired, dark and semi-detached with extremely thin walls and a shared sunlounger area which only one cabin could use at a time. The room was dirty although the sheets and towels were clean and were changed each day. The 'unspoilt' beach was dirty, it had wine bottles, old shoes and bits of plastic strewn along it. If you ventured a bit further away from the resort it had piles of building waste, old broken sunloungers and an all pervading smell of drains / sewage which did not encourage us to try swimming in the sea. Lunch and dinner were the same tired buffet trays of dried up, lukewarm food. Even the tea and coffee were barely warm. On a positive note, the smaller restaurant had a very friendly waiter and served good tea and coffee. If they had been clean and not smelling of drains, the sand and the sea were beautiful and there were nice long walks along the beach in both directions. The seats in the reception area were comfortable and the wi-fi was good but that wasn't really what we came for.…
Paradisical beach....not many people.....accomodation decent by Cuban standards....food bland to bad. Most of the staff perfectly pleasant. But.... ....we got ripped off badly at the bar by paying for a small item with a 50 CUC note and getting Cuban pesos in return. It's a straightforward tourist scam so be very careful and scrutinise your change in this place particularly at the Bar!!
Remote, peaceful beaches with a lot of wildlife and undeveloped areas on the island. Transportation can be challenging, but once you've gotten there, it's truly a peaceful respite. There is accessible dining, water sports and convenient cabanas.
If you search for a luxury place then you should go somewhere else, maybe at the Barbados or Bahamas, or in Varadero, where you can find those pompous and snobbish resorts. If you search for a calm, small, simple, non crowdy island then Cayo Levisa is your place. The room/house (the 61) was enormous, with two showers, and to sinks. The vast majority of the houses have direct access to the beach. When there is no wind the water is crystalline and the sand is very very thin and not sticky. The beach has some fantastic covered places with pillows and mattresses where you can rest or read a book. There is a small shop. The restaurant is.. OK! some dishes were very good, some others not. There is always a chef that grills fish and meat and you can preorder something (such as pasta, or lobster) more fresh (paying). I would definitely go there again, and again, and again..…
Only hotel on the island. The ferry was included in the booking. Lunch the first day was not included but 3 meals a day are included after that. Make dinner reservations at Las Brisas and hang around after for live music. All meals are buffet style but they have a grill. By far the best food comes off the grill for breakfast (omelete), lunch(pasta), and dinner(fish and meats). The rest of the food is bland but we brought hot sauce and it made a world of difference. Drinks can be pricey so we brought rum and mixed in juice. The rooms are all nice, tho some are truly beach front (21-25). Day trips drop off groups around 11am and leave at 5pm. If it gets busy at the main beach, walk east or west and explore. Nice trail leads to an old beach area with primitive bar to the east. Overall nice hotel and beautiful beach. Keep an eye out for starfish (but please don't touch)…
