The hotel is old , if the rooms and furniture were updated this hotel would be prefect. The food was... More

I traveled with my mother and sister - it was an all girl's trip. We weren't sure about staying at Arenas Doradas given some of the reviews but we were on a budget. Overally, the vacation was absolutely amazing for the price. The beach and pool are above par (I've stayed at the Sandals in Cuba and it was just... More

Overall if you never been to Cuba, but already visited Dominican Rep. or Mexico – you should be ready for a major downgrade. On average 4 stars in Mexico is better then 4.5 stars in Dominican Rep. and Dominican Rep.’s 4 stars is better then Cuba’s 5 stars. Rooms: Are ok but… Some things are always missing, broken or not...
