This was my first trip to Cuba, I knew the food wouldn't be the greatest from people who have been to cuba in the past and they were right. But besides that this hotel was very dirty, we went as part of a wedding group, there were 25 of us, 20 of us ended up getting sick throughout the week.... More

Very dirty and stinky in the room - mould on the curtain, stains on the sofa and chairs, stains on the towels, cigarette holes on the blankets. There is always gutter smell in the room, very unpleasant. We requested to change a cleaner room. The staff told us that the hotel was fully booked. Nothing they could do. Then we... More

Pros: The layout of the resort is great. Although the resort was at near capacity occupancy, it never felt crowded.The resort was clean and well... More

I'm not going to bore you with all the gory details but this is classed as a five start resort because of its facilities but it is not what I would class as five star. The grounds are well kept, as is the pool, and there is no shortage of drinks but the food is of a very poor standard... More

My husband and I stayed at the Iberostar Laguna Azul at the end of April 2013. Our flight arrived in the middle of the night and we were the only people dropped off at the hotel. The front desk told us the snack bar was still open so we made our way down to check it out. There was nobody... More

Spent a week here with my wife and daughter and we got what we paid for. The food was good not great, but that was what we were expecting. The beach and main pool area was fantastic and the service was very good. The facility is large and has over 800 rooms, keep this in mind if you don't like... More

I went to Cuba with my friends. At first I just check in pleasantly surprised ... it was fast, without unnecessary talk and also accommodation. The room was clean, towels were changed regularly and never lacking nothing. The entire resort operates an amazing impression, and despite the vast expanse you feel that you know everything and you know, at home.... More

We travelled with 2 small kids. We loved the resort beautiful grounds, pools, beach, room was always made up. Although the food selection didnt change much from day to day, we always could find what to eat. Amazing night shows! A few drawbacks: one of the pillows smelled so much i had to sleep without one. Some of personnel could... More
