This place lets you see the real Cuba - although it is a 2(+) hour drive from Varadero, the drive is interesting, and it gets you out of the tourist ghetto. The food was fine - more fish than a 3 star in Varadero, and lots of meat for meat lovers. The coastline is rocky, but there is a beach... More

Comfortable older resort , Fine for a night or two but would not spend any longer. Food was fine. Drinks were basic. Nice pool and beach. Close to Museum about Bay of Pigs. Interesting to visit even if it is a little bias. .

The hotel did its job for me...which was a place to sleep and eat.....this was a diving trip and the dive shop is located right on the hotel grounds which was very convenient.......for $430 all inclusive can't expect much.....many Cuban family's staying there especially on the weekends.....dinner buffet had 2 choices of meat, either chicken, beef or pork each night...

I would rather stay in Casa when returning to Playa Giron. The hotel, although located right by the sea, is quite neglected. The restaurant is just terrible. I had one of the worst food poisoning whilst staying at this hotel. If you consider staying there, go ahead, but I would highly recommend you eating out in one of many local... More

Playa Giron is a quiet, small place away from the large resorts and crowds that are found in other areas of Cuba. I was looking for a relaxing, low key place and this hotel delivered! There are no crowds, so service is very good. The staff was very helpful and worked hard to make your stay enjoyable. Accomodations are made... More

The only reason to book 1 night stay here would be if you could get a cheap travel transfer out of Havana through Cubatur, this would get you into the Bay of Pigs area. We didn't expect much , and we didn't get much except some good info from an employee who worked there. We moved down to Playa Larga... More

It has taken a year for me to right this (I was there Feb 2011), I do travel a lot and nothing stands out in my memory more than the week in Playa Giron. - The people I met and the rustic nature of the resort made an unforgetable week for me. First arrived around 2am after a long and... More

First, although on this website the hotel is called Hotel Horizontes (I've looked at the pictures, it's the same place) the resort calls itself the Playa Giron resort. As everyone on this site has mentioned, the resort is cheap and from my point of view great in that it doesn't charge a single supplement. I had my own little villa... More
