Would return to Cayo Santa Maria but not necessarily this resort. 4 of us ladies were all placed in different buildings...even tho we had requested adjacent rooms! Were told there was only one ocean view in each building; obviously not true as there were several rooms visible. Perhaps Sunwing was only allotted one?? Anyway one friend who was several buildings... More

We travel to Cuba every year and each time to a different resort, Melia Las Dunas so far is the best resort we've been to in Cuba and would definitely come back to it again. We stayed on the family side of the resort building 36; it is the closest you can get to the buffet, lobby and very short... More

At first I was unsure whether I would like this hotel as it was very large (about 900 rooms), but I came to really enjoy it. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the service to them very good. Our room needed a plumber, and he arrived within about 10 minutes of the request. The main building was extremely attractive... More

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. According to both staff and experienced vacationers, it is the 2nd best resort on the Cayo Santa Maria. Ibostar Ensenachos is apparently the best. The thing that none of the others can top is the variety. Having a relax pool and an activity pool, having 5 a la carte dinner restaurants in addition... More

After a long 9:30 hr trip on a tired and dirty aircraft, with the entertainment not working properly, my partner and I arrived in Cuba for the first time.. We wizzed through customs and our bags arrived quickly. We then found our transport for the 1:45 trip to the hotel. On the way to the hotel, it was explained to... More

Absolutley in love with this place. FANTASTIC bang for your travel buck. That's why we keep coming back for more! The staff at this resort is simply AMAZING. Take the time to meet a few of the staff, they are hardworking, gracious and funny folks. Many of the staff remembered us from prior visits, and were delighted to see us... More

My first time to MLD and to Cuba. I went along with my fiancé and two small children, 1 and 3. Also travelled with two friends. We stayed the last 2 weeks of May 2013. Before we went I read a lot of mixed reviews about this hotel, with some people really giving it bad reviews. I can definitively say... More

We went as a family for the last two weeks of May, and two friends came along. We were also getting married whilst there, so this was a trip that had to be perfect or I'd have been broken hearted. From the moment we arrived at the hotel it was clear that the staff were pleased to see us. They... More

We just returned from our 4th visit May 26 - June 2, 2013. We had a wonderful time...service was excellent, weather was great, and entertainment was fun! I did find the food a little less in quality than the last 3 visits...but that may have been due to the time of year. The beach was beautiful with 3 windy days... More
