4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012 NEW

We had spent 3 days at a 4 **** in Varadero and were not very impressed. With this fresh in our minds, we were a bit worried about the 3*** Ancon and were very pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable our stay was. We had an issue with our room (no hot water, inoperable mini fridge, non working bedside lamp....oh dear....this... More

Travelled to Cuba November 2011 and stayed there for 4 nights. It was wrong from the beginning when they gave us a twin room when we obviously a couple and booked a double room. Walked all the way down from the 6th floor (lift was broken at that time) for the receptionist to tell me that they actually got a... More

Really for the price, it's pretty good. The 'tropical' rooms are nice, big enough and always clean. The beach amazing, swimming pool is good. Walking all the beach is very nice, but do it before these little mosquitos wake up. (around the sunset). We enjoy this place as a family and I will go back alone for a good rest... More

The only thing about this that was bad was the long bus ride from the airport! but what can you do eh? grab some cans of beer and hope the bus ride flies by. it was just over a hour ride in! Once you get there though life is good, quick service, even booked a a la carte dinner while... More

Thankfully my stay at this hotel was only a matter of days. Thankfully I'd opted for a 'tropical' room - which was basic but had a great sea view in the more 'modern' building. My friends weren't as lucky. Their room was in the main building, located on the 7th floor and they were welcomed to it via a near... More

We enjoyed a 2 wk. vacation at Hotel Ancon Dec 24-Jan 7....and it was the best trip so far to Cuba. We did a lot of research and knew it was an older resort lacking luxury, however, it is perfect for the budget-minded traveller...basic but clean, you won't go hungry and a beach that is truly one of the best...

I've been twice. Jan 2007 (my review was lost in the tripadvisors 2009 crash) and again in Jan 2011. I feel it's important to rate how it went because I just had a poor 5 star trip to Memories Azul. I wish we had gone to the Ancon. Acon treated us really well. The food and drinks were fine and... More

This is one of the original tourist hotels opened in the 80´s and it shows. The hotel is in need of remodel - everywhere items are long overdue for basic maintenance. For 3 days there was no hot water and after you stripped away the facade of explanations it appeared this to be a regular problem during periods of peak... More

I found Club Ancon to be a delightful hotel. I landed in Santa Clara so the 2.5 hour bus ride was a litle long, but no big deal. I stayed in the new (Superior Room) Tropical Section. It is three floors but with no elevators, so anyone with mobility issues should try and get on the main floor or stay... More

We returned to hotel Ancon on Nov. 23, 2011 for 2 weeks and were pleasantly surprised by all the changes which occured since a year ago. The food in the buffet restaurant has improved greatly in quality and quantity as well as in presentation and service. The waiters and waitresses are much faster looking after you and seem to remember... More
