We started off with our flight being late, but we had no problems at the Cuba airport, getting on our bus and checking into our room. I got exactly what I requested when I booked, a 2nd floor room facing the pool. We were on the Carisol side. Which didn't matter to us. Most people prefered the Corales side. The... More

This was our 6th trip to Los Corales and will probably be our last. As mentioned in earlier reviews, this location has gone down hill so badly and as a result, we are not prepared to suffer through another stay. The food is the same every day with no variety. Cabbage, cabbage and more cabbage. Bones in the soup, bones... More

I travelled to Carisol Los Corales with my snorkel buddy and her husband. We had visited Bucanero last January, so we knew in advance the weather would be perfect, and we were not disappointed. Wonderful, warm sunshine every single day! The bus ride to the hotel was picturesque, and check in went smoothly. We stayed at the Los Corales side... More

Well, much to our disappointment Los Corales has gone downhill since our last visit in January of 2011. Very sad indeed. It appears the Cuban government isn't investing money into this resort and it shows. The place is in need of repair. There isn't one 'big' thing that requires repair, it's all the small things that add up. There has... More

This was our 3rd visit in this resort. We knew what to expect from this 3* and we got all we needed: 2 sunny weeks over Christmas holidays, with plenty of simple and healthy food (without cooking or serving others at home!), great beach time (yes, there is an excellent sandy beach with plenty of chairs, paddleboats, kayaks and morning...

We stayed at Los Corales from Jan. 15 to the 22. Late check-out was free on the day we left. Santiago airport was easy to get mixed up on arrival. The porters carried our bikes to the wrong bus and demanded a tip. They had no idea which bus we needed to be on, just move the bikes 30 feet... More

We have been to Cuba seven times and this is our third time in Santiago, first at this hotel. I did realize that we did not pay a fortune for this trip but I was shocked at the lack of amenities in this hotel. Our room was adequate but I heard others did not have power. Washrooms adjacent to the... More

Dec. 2011/Jan 2012 The good: -off-the-beach nice snorkeling -lots to see in the surrounding area for a 7-day holiday -laid-back, friendly, casual atmosphere -decent beach - not too busy either -beautiful setting -mountains and large beach The bad: - lack of organization - accountability if something goes wrong. (this is still pending... I'm awaiting a response from Management and from... More

This time we flew CanJet from Toronto, a first for me. The flight was very smooth and we landed about 15 minutes early. The supplied meals were tasty, but still airline food. Upon arrival, and the customary shuttle through Customs, we retrieved our bags from the conveyor. For those new to Cuba, all luggage coming on to the conveyor are... More
