If you are looking to be entertained or to party all night this resort is definately not for you. If you want to be close to shopping and clubs then do yourself a favour and book into another resort. On the other hand if you are looking to relax and experince the side of Cuba no 5 star or 4... More

It has taken me nearly three weeks to figure out how I should write this. The dilemma being that I really love Don Lino, but my second stay at the resort from April 5th-12th severely tarnished my view of the place. My first visit was exactly 3 years prior, to the day. My friend (who I had originally gone with)... More

Wow! I cannot beleive how fortunate we were to find this great little resort. We loved the intimacy, the quiet and the opportunity to get to know the staff and other folks staying there. The staff are VERY hardworking, accomodating and thoughtful, the beach is great - we knew it was on a coral reef before we went, so that... More

If you want something quiet and beautiful "Don Lino" is the place to go. We got a great new room that was perfect and clean. The service was amazing. Thank's to Reuben the most incredible barman at Don Lino he did so much for us (taxi, restaurant advisor, tourism and more.) I will go back as soon as I can.... More

We went the first week in April, two adults and three teens. We booked the ocean view rooms with Holasun but when we arrived they had only one so they upgraded two of our three rooms to the superior bungalows. The new bungs are not sound proof so ours was day use only and we slept in the ocean view... More

(April 11 to April 18) What a beautiful resort! I just got back few hours ago! I got a great room in one of the new bungalows with ocean view! The food was good and the service was great! Mr. Adrian Moreno (the manager) is a very hard working man and he has a great team! I had never seen... More

We are just back from Don Lino. You get what you pay for, that is sure. Lets see. Dirty beach, dirty restrooms, water shoes a must. No money exchange, no idea when there might be a money exchange. Cuban cuisine is a given, but very little variety of it. There was green vegies one night, but just one tray. By... More

Avoid the "upgraded" rooms - "I could hear the guy next door snoring". Too many rude, loud French Canadians. They need to expand the dining to reflect the increased tourist #'s. People waiting with full plates for me to vacate a table. Too many Canadian men bring their local chicas for the week. 8-10 last week. Uncomfortable to be around... More

Loved Loved Don Lino and all the ppl who work there. Diani, Obi, Barbara, Jesus, Ruben, Junior, Armondo, Megdalisa sr and jr and everyone else are like family now. Cannot wait to return. Rooms clean, food plain but plentiful. Juices were great as we don't drink and lots of it. Beach great for snorkeling. Sun great. Windy but when wind... More
