Latest reviews on Ciego de Avila's beaches

Playa Coco
6 Lila Montrose

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.

Playa Prohibida
10 Joey

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.

Cayo Guillermo
10 Lila Harper

The beach was absolutely incredible and must be witnessed firsthand. The locals were incredibly kind and welcoming. The cuisine was always fresh, of high quality, and diverse. The resort grounds were impeccably maintained, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. The new manager, Carlos, genuinely cared about each and every guest. The pool, entertainment, and activities were fantastic, and our boys especially adored the kids club, where they formed a special bond with Sally, who oversees the children. We send our warm regards to the Melia family and can't wait to return in the near future.

Seven measly days in this so-called "beautiful" country are never enough. You waste a couple of days just getting there, and before you know it, the other five days are gone in a blink of an eye. Sure, the entertainment is decent, but it's nothing to write home about. They try to make it interactive, but it's just a desperate attempt to keep you from being bored out of your mind. There's something for everyone, but let's be real, it's all just a cheap attempt to make a quick buck off of tourists. The staff is friendly enough, but that's just part of their job description. Don't be fooled by their fake smiles and over-the-top service, they're just trying to get a good tip out of you. As for me, I won't be wasting my time planning another visit.
