Playa Giron is a quiet, small place away from the large resorts and crowds that are found in other areas of Cuba. I was looking for a relaxing, low key place and this hotel delivered! There are no crowds, so service is very good. The staff was very helpful and worked hard to make your stay enjoyable. Accomodations are made... More

The only reason to book 1 night stay here would be if you could get a cheap travel transfer out of Havana through Cubatur, this would get you into the Bay of Pigs area. We didn't expect much , and we didn't get much except some good info from an employee who worked there. We moved down to Playa Larga... More

It has taken a year for me to right this (I was there Feb 2011), I do travel a lot and nothing stands out in my memory more than the week in Playa Giron. - The people I met and the rustic nature of the resort made an unforgetable week for me. First arrived around 2am after a long and... More

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

I've been to Playa Giron two different times,once with a buddy for two weeks and we had an absolute great time.Not much too do other than drink,enjoy the sunshine and relax isn't that what a vacation is supposed to be?? Caleta Buena is absolutely gorgeous and is great for snorkelling.We took a day trip into Varadero and enjoyed ourselves also.... More
