I went to this hotel on may 9th-16th and I found it fantastic. Weather was fantastic, beach was sensational and the people were just great. One thing I loved about this hotel is the differences of people. You will find people from all over the world at Sol Palmeras!

Have a wonderful time at Sol Palmeras (stayed 6 to 13 May). Overall the resort was lovely, only minus point would be the food (which was average at best). Best points would be the beach (and pool), and the staff.

Can be a good choice for a familiy vacation at the sea thanks to the good location, broad range of all-inclusive services and cheap price. Rooms are quite old and the furniture is not top-notch, but it is not a big deal when you are spending most of your time at the beach. Air conditioner is also old and loud,... More

Sol Palmeras is the fourth hotel I have stayed at in Cuba (8th trip). We started out staying in a room in the main building, which is nice for one or two people, and very convenient. Note: some rooms have a large balcony and some have a smaller balcony. The room, although nice, was rather crowded for three people (we... More

Cuba was on my bucket list. Sorry for the delay (Got back April 13) Go for at least 10 days (we did 2 weeks a couple of days to long in my mind) if you can. Stayed in the bungalows. Not fancy but okay. Take facecloths and a watch. Seems like no clocks in Cuba (or very few). Defiantly no... More

My husband, daughter (8 years old) and I stayed at the Sol Palmeras from April 27 to May 4th. We had a great vacation at this resort. The "À la carte" restaurants are well worth it to break from the buffet routine. We truly enjoyed the "El Marino" at night, and the "Oshin" the chinese restaurant. The personnel is wonderful,...

We visited Sol Palmeras in late August 2012 for 2 weeks... I can honestly say it was one of the worst holidays I have ever had! After around 17 exhausting hours of travelling (5 hour drive, 10 hour flight, 2 hour transfer) we arrived at the hotel at about 10.30pm ready to go straight to bed. Unfortunately for us, it... More

This has been our annual escape...happy place...as it were for 14 years and we hope to return for many more years. The food variety at the Sol is amazingly good from the buffet to the specialty restaurants.The property is generally very good but is starting to show its age. Minimal TLC would be required to restore its lustre. They are... More
