Ciego de Avila - all beaches

We really enjoy the beach, the staff, and the hotel (as long as you stay in a renovated room). The main reason we keep coming back is because of the stunning beach. This was our third visit and luckily we had hot water this time. If you decide to go, it's best to have low expectations so you won't be let down. We plan on returning, but only if we can find a week for under $900.

You won't find a better meal in Cuba than this. They serve fresh seafood cooked over a wood fire at a very reasonable price. The view is absolutely stunning and adds a whole new dimension to the experience. When my family and I visited, we were the only ones there, which seems to be quite common. The service is excellent and if I ever get the opportunity to go back, I would do it without hesitation.

The beach was absolutely stunning, but unfortunately, everything else fell short. The buffet was extremely disappointing, even by Cuban standards - the smell in the buffet room was unbearable and everything felt sticky. There was no variety in the food from day to day. Although the hotel rooms were spacious, they were in desperate need of refurbishment and a thorough cleaning. The pool bar was rarely staffed, and only if they happened to notice you waiting would someone come to take your order. Maybe it's just me getting older, but the loud 90s dance music at the pool didn't enhance my enjoyment at all. In fact, I noticed other guests audibly sighing when it started playing in the afternoon. Overall, I would consider returning to the area because of the beautiful beach, but I definitely won't be coming back to this resort.

We had a great time at this beach in the Niagara Falls area. The beach is beautiful with plenty of shaded cabanas to relax in. The staff were friendly and we didn't feel pressured to tip. We were pleasantly surprised by the food, although it did get a bit repetitive after a few days. We brought some snacks with us just in case. Our building had no hot water for 2 days, but a cool rinse after a day at the beach felt refreshing. Despite being affected by a hurricane in the past, the resort is well-maintained thanks to the hard work of the grounds workers and gardeners. Despite reading negative reviews beforehand, we found no issues with towels, water, food, or drinks. Overall, it was a great vacation and we would definitely return.

This beach boasts the softest sand one can ever lay their feet on, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely afternoon. Visitors have the option to rent chairs and quaint huts for added comfort, while also indulging in a scrumptious lunch. A truly beautiful destination for a relaxing day by the sea.

The beach is optimal.
