Little variety in the buffet, often poorly prepared, lack of cooking, despite this very good attention from the staff who works in the buffet. The room has nothing to envy of a room in a 4-star hotel, only that Not having hot water spoils the experience for 10 months now, and Islazul still does not fix the problem or provide alternative solutions, even with clients who have babies and small children, who have to bathe these minors in the shower with cold water. , little variety of foods for snacks, good service in the lobby-café and in general from the hotel staff

The customer service is a 10/10, especially the receptionist who worked on 11/01/2025 and the lady who worked in the snack bar that same night. The room was clean and without a bad smell, but from there it starts to diminish the hotel a bit. The bathroom has poor lighting, the door to the balcony does not work, in the area of the plateau it is not marked that it takes is 110 or 220, all this is insignificant next to the situation that the hotel has with the hot water, NO HOT WATER, information that I discovered when I arrived here, as it was not reflected on any page or in the sales bureau. The service I chose was bed + breakfast so I can not review the buffet. Finally it is worth noting that breakfast was decaying over the days, the first day we were given a balanced breakfast, from the second day elements of the dish were lost.

We went on a family trip and had a pretty good time. There were always "its little things", but knowing that the place has only 2 stars it is understandable that there are obstacles. The treatment of the staff was good, even with the minors in the group and they were very friendly considering that my son with special needs was traveling with me. I confess that I was surprised that they were kind enough to approach me to ask about their diet, how they could help me process their food and make it easier for me to enjoy my stay there. To criticize, there was little availability of wine, the food had little variety and the hot water failed on two occasions.
In May I return, this time for work reasons. I hope that the attention from the staff continues to be the same and that they have resolved the aspects that I mentioned, which I made known to several workers at the time.

Well, how to explain since we arrived we had to have a drink or that it was a super market to register in the folder, then what they give in the pool cafeteria was a hot syrup drink and a cold salad that no one ate and also I didn't even have a glass to give it, one had to look for the glass. At the buffet the food was the same at lunch as at lunch, it's like they reheat the same thing and the workers watch over the customers to see if they eat a lot or a little, then take the food home. They don't give you any information. complete in the folder of everything. They tell you that they don't have beer dispensed for customers and then they give you half a box but then they don't give it to you in the end they don't have any beer or anything. The bed linens can't even be changed or the towels They only provide toilet paper and bath soap once, you have to carry all of that because they don't provide any of that. My opinion is terrible, I didn't like that hotel at all.

This was my third time in Cuba, so there is something to compare with and what to expect, but I have never seen such a terrible hotel in my life. I don’t understand who is writing positive reviews about this viper.
In the dining room, specifically in the dining room, cockroaches walk. From food: boiled, fried, pickled and fresh cabbage. There are also pasta products that look more like boiled worms, I didn’t even dare try. If they give you meat or fish, then it all tears into small shreds; you can’t tell what it was by looking at it. There are no juices, tea or coffee. There is coffee at the coffee bar, but there is no milk or cream.
The bar only serves Cuba Libre cocktails for free, the rest is for money. But when I saw rum in plastic bottles, I lost all desire to drink and pay for such cocktails.
Animations were not seen or heard, except for the music in the bar next to the pool, and the dancing of local gopniks with provocative local women.
Now about the number. There is no hot water, but we didn’t expect to see it. There are only two towels, although why more, there is still no hot water. The bed is made with a sheet and worn-out blankets lie nearby. There are no second sheets or duvet covers.
The only plus is the ocean, but this is not the merit of the hotel. But even here they managed to spoil our holiday by demanding payment for a sun lounger.
Conclusion: if you want to get adrenaline, this is the hotel for you.

The environment is beautiful from the moment you enter, you can see a special care for nature, they give you a good welcome and the staff is very attentive to the needs of the clients, everyone is very friendly, they took me to my room which was clean, the perfectly made beds and a smell of lavender, the super soft pillows perfect for a good rest, the clerks are attentive to the diners, they bring juices and soft drinks to the table and they are very professional and fast in the service, it has a pool perfect for cool off, the hotel has the beach very close, just 250 meters away from the viewpoint, also with several spots where I had a very cold michelada and perfect for the heat, to mention one of my favorite places would be the coffee bar, quiet with a Very nice decoration and atmosphere, ideal for spending a good time reading. I am grateful to have been able to spend my family vacation in such a beautiful and pleasant hotel. I definitely plan to repeat the experience as soon as I have the opportunity again.

Horrible experience. We were all inclusive. I went with my dad. EVERYTHING was missing, when I say EVERYTHING. No water for 7 days, the two first days no cola's for rum coke. Some days no more rum. No sugar. We had to buy everything out of the hotel in the other bars/stores. Our sheets and towels were changed one time in the whole week and it's because we gave the lady 5$ and told her to change everything. Sheets and towels were stained. Staff were very rude. People that weren't from the hotel came in and out as pleased. People taking loads of food out of the buffet into bags or even straight into plates to their rooms. People bringing loads of food and bottles of alcoohol to people that were not from the hotel.

Well, I want to start by saying that I am very disappointed in this tourist destination, which I had a very good opinion of because it was the one I selected for the 2nd time to spend a few days of my vacation... I was here last June and I had an excellent opinion of it. hotel despite the shortcomings (be careful) that I know exist at the national level... I want to highlight that despite the fact that I know and know the environment... for being a tourism worker for more than 20 years in the Melia chain... I don't want it to be understood that I want to harm the hotel with my comment... on the contrary I would like it to be a constructive criticism... I must start by saying that not only me... but that hundreds of families save thousands of pesos to be able to spend a few days in this hotel so that when they arrive at it they do not have a moderately clean room, arriving at the hotel and not having beer for the client's enjoyment, not having the pool in conditions to provide service for clients, not to mention having an offer on a snack that only It has a pizza dough with bite-size pasta and finally you arrive at a buffet where the service is terrible where even the clerk does not even give you a glass of water...it leaves a lot to be desired...now I'm thinking if came back or not for a 3rd time...

The service is excellent at all points, such as the pool, the lobby bar, tiki bar, coffee bar, buffet, etc. All the surroundings are very clean, as are the rooms, although sometimes there were products that were in short supply with the service of the workers and their quick actions were not noticeable. At all times the meals were delicious, but what I liked the most was the breakfast.

The experience has been terrible. Snack Bar that only offers more than medium-rare pizza with snack pasta and soda, I think it's syrup. The pool closed due to dirt. You almost have to beg the waitress to clean the rooms and what can we say about the buffet, to forget, few offers that if at least well prepared would have alleviated the situation. The food runs out, you wait 20 or 30 minutes for them to bring something out again, looking at the faces of the workers who don't say a word to you to lessen the situation, half-raw and poorly prepared food. There are no desserts or they are very scarce and of poor quality, there are practically no fruits, you do not have a cup or a glass on the table to drink, the plates, cups, spoons etc. are never enough and I do not continue because I would not finish. Today to top it off we are also without power. What to say, I'm not coming back again. Bad experience. Very sad to spend thousands of pesos saved for months for nothing.
