Luis Vannini runs a tight ship in the kitchen......no complaints whatsoever. Buffets weren't as vast as in Dominican Republic but excellent nonetheless. 5-Star hotel in Cuba equates to... More

It was my first experience in an all inclusive hotel in Cuba and I loved my experience. The people were friendly, the hotel was clean and the beach was beautiful! An improvement would be at the quality of the food. There were days when it was not particularly good. Also, I wish there was a little more activity. Otherwise, I... More

We were pleasantly surprised with the Melia in Cayo Santa Maria. At first, we anticipated that the location might be an issue (there is a 90 minute bus ride from the airport to the hotel) but everything was so well organized that it never became a problem. Roads to Cayo Santa Maria are in good condition and once at the... More
