Our family of 3 and grandparets went to this resort in summer 2012 and we can not say one bad thing about it. Obviously it was not 5* but everything was very good. It is a large resort but they have the golf carts and if you call the reception they will send one to your room within 15min. Look... More

We just got back Friday May 10th around 2am (we were there for 14 days). The food is better, the bird problem is not totally gone but they are certainly trying with the netting and closing the screens and the atmosphere is wonderful. They have bounced back from the hurricane with no noticeable traces of the devastation. The staff remain... More

this was our 3rd trip to cuba ( 2nd time at this hotel) and we loved it. We travelled as a party of 4 adults and returned on the 09/05. The hotel itself is set in stunning grounds that slope down to the sea offering lovely views of the terraces which are very well tended by the hardworking gardeners. The... More

I have just come back from a holiday at Riu Playa Turquesa. My main concern was that it seemed to be a meeting place for old men and young prostitutes. The pimps were even going into the main reception with them. I would like to know who, in the hotel, was allowing them in and giving them armbands. I do... More

We spent a week - room 324- from April 6th to 13th. Wheater was perfect but, even more, everything was great! Sunwing agent - Isber - was fantastic. He gave us many information and was very helpful to find a birding guide to help us to do birding in Holguin area. Food was satisfying without being great! The beach was... More

Was at Playa Turquesa from April 20 till may 5. Have been to Cuba over twenty times and I must say that this is one of the prettiest complexes that we have visited. Be prepared to walk a lot including many stairs since built on a hill. The service all around was very good, but the hotel was only a... More
