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

"Cottages" are in pretty poor shape. Screens are full of holes. Cockroaches are there. Beds are saggy. Food is very basic and re-cycled, what you don't eat for one meal you will eat at the next meal in a slightly different version. Drinks are of the cheapest quality. Entertainment consists of guests being subjected to some kind of "entertainment" There... More

In my view the resort hotel has an undeservedly low reputation as the rooms (consisting of a sitting room, bedroom and en suite bathroom, with efficient air-conditioning) are clean and secure. OK, they do not inspire and are rather ‘basic’ but we were not uncomfortable and there was a regular cleaning service etc. There were no bugs or spiders in... More

First of all you have to realize that as a 2-star hotel in a lesser developed country you have to expect small inconveniences like lukewarm shower water, no TV remote, average food at best, etc. That being said, the Hotel Giron is really a great place to stay. First of all, our family of five adults stayed in a two-bedroom,... More

We went to Hotel Giron for a week. We made a last minute booking as it was very cheap. We have been to Cuba now 4 times and this was the worst. As far as the resort goes, the rooms and resort itself were okay. The food was worse than worse. We have had bad food before, but this was... More

My wife and I spent the week on either side of Christmas at this resort. The first impression was pretty good, staff seemed friendly, resort wasn't posh but we weren't expecting that and the room seemed clean and spacious. The food the first half of our stay was poor. They had a very limited selection and the seemed to be... More

If you want to go to Playa Giron for your vacation you have to be ready…. 1. …to go to swim to others places because the sea at the beach next to the hotel is way to shallow. They made a wall in the sea to protect the cost from the waves and screwed the view and the depth of... More
