Travelled with Sunwing Vacations (Toronto) – no issues, good service, on time. Stayed at MBV May 11 to 25, 2012 Arrival at Santa Clara airport Love airports like this! Best way to describe it is quaint, 1 runway, terminal can only handle 2 passenger jets at a time, very friendly and well-staffed immigration and security, easy luggage pick-up, currency conversion...

My husband and I spent two weeks at the Melia in April...Having spent the last four years at the Royal Hideaway now the Iberostar we were looking forward to our stay but also wondering if it would be as good. We knew we would miss the great beach at the Royal but as soon as we arrived and taken to... More

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Melia Buenavista in early April 2012. We were impressed with this hotel's level of luxury, the professional staff, the perfect level of calmness combined with beautiful live music and the private beach. We travel often, not necessarily to all- inclusives and we were happy that our experience at this hotel... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Buenavista from May 4th to May 11th for a much needed week of complete relaxation and believe me we found it! We had read all the good reviews... but the bad also so we were not sure what to expect. When we first arrived, I was surprised by how quiet it was. (It... More

I was at the Melia Buenavista from May 4th to 12th and everything about my stay was fantastic. Although the group I was there with was younger than the ideal demographic of this resort, we were all still able to have a fantastic time. The food was delicious and the activities were so much fun. The employees of the resort... More

My boyfriend and I were from May 1 to May 8. I was attracted to book at this resort because of the reviews talking about how quiet and romantic and relaxing it was. We had been living long distance for 2 months due to work, so I was looking forward to a romantic quiet trip to reconnect. TRIP - Terrible... More

I had a blast at the resort. I was with a younger crowd and we were still able to have a blast. I went for a wedding and everything was perfect. I had a blast with the bartenders at the pool Bar Noe, Oreste, Norge, They kept me extremely entertained and are some of the nicest guys i've ever met.... More

My husband and I were there to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. I had mentioned this to my agent at Itravel2000 but I guess it was not relayed and also the fact that I wanted a very quiet section of the resort. I will not use this agent for future purchases. I had called about the overbooking issue at this... More

This was my first trip to Cuba and I must say I was pleasant pleased when we pulled in to the Melia Buenavista. The resort assigns a butler to your room & they look after most of your needs during your stay. The butlers rotate, every other day. We were pleased at how large the rooms were and the views... More
