It's a hotel from the state which already says a lot. We travelled around Cuba and stayed in around 15 different places. This Hotel was really the worst we saw in Cuba. They showed us 2 rooms - one without even a window in a really old part of the hotel and the other one was in a recently established... More

I am surprised with some of the positive reviews I read about this place as my experience of the hotel couldn’t have been worse. The rooms are sub-standard, at most they are a poor 2 star rating by European standards. There are no fly screens on the windows so there were about 20 mosquitos in the room when we arrived... More

Set in a very remote western corner of Cuba, it's a bit of a trek to get there, but once there you are forced to slow your pace right down and soak up the beauty. Definitely worth the effort as you have numerous unspoilt beaches, with few other tourists. The accommodation is very reasonable quality for the price, it's not... More

A great resort especially if your only aim is to be free and relax. There are two restaurants and one bar so there is no need to trek long distances to have any of you culinary needs met. Bring plenty of insect repellant as Maria La Gorga insect life will make you beach holiday a smidge difficult. The new Cabanas... More

I don't know what all the bad reviews are about regarding the aging scuba equipment - I rented all the gear except for dive watch and scuba mask, and it was fine. The dive instructors are very attentive, carefully check your accreditation and try to customize dive sites to suit the divers. There are a surprising amount of people staying... More

Our room was on the 1st floor overlooking the sea, our fridge was not working on arrival, but this was fixed as soon as we reported it. Food was average. More

I went there in February 2012. The food is not great, nor in the buffet, nor in the restaurant a la carte (but you do not go to Cuba because of food). The diving sites are wonderful and you can get a good package of 5-7 dives. The equipment is not new (although we recieved new diving suits) and gives... More

The resort is no doubt famous amongst divers, but it's far country location is a real rustic and run down resort. The food and dining experience is bad. However, the cabana's inland are a nice treat. I got really sick here and suffered the worst night of my life. To this day, I do not know if it was food... More

The Peninsula Guanahacabibes Cabins are really lovely and clean! Beds are okay. Our breakfast experience wasn’t quite good. The food was not very hygienic kept and I found two dead flies in the scrambled eggs. Also the buffet dinner was a real disaster. Food which should have warm was cold etc. The a la carte restaurant was also of a... More
