Nice hotel. Very close to a lovely stretch of a very lovely beach. Efficient and friendly staff available 24/7. Clean, quiet rooms - in my experience (I have slept in two of them) - with comfy beds, good AC, non-scary-electrics bathroom (always a worry for me in Cuba!), safe for valuables. Breakfast was fine and liked the cool, shady public... More

Good position close to the beach. Lovely crystal clear water. Hop on hop bus at door. Hotel has bar on beach and can hire beach chairs. CNN tv. Steep stairs to climb with luggage though there is a porter. No safe key. Short taxi ride 4CUC from Viazul bus station. Air conditioned. Beds firm. Rooms dark but can open shutters... More

Never stay on the middle floor: the bathroom is flooded with green fungus on the ceiling and walls and small insects. If you take a room on the top floor facing the ocean (that’s where I stayed), it’s rather clean and cosy though small but still fine for its value. The bed is comfortable and bedsheets are clean (don’t look... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the Dos Mares. I stayed 4 nights in total; it was so much better than the Playa Caleta where I stayed for about a week because I was meeting my family there. My rooms at Dos Mares were clean, the bathrooms new and the hotel was quiet. Breakfast included was declicious with fruit, coffee... More

We've booked a double room and when we arrived we saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85NWyvxw2kw - the windows were not quite closing (and it was 10°C at nights in Jan) - the bathroom door looked like it has survived a war - the tap was hardly coupled with the basin - the shower had an erectile disfunction and the hose was torn...

We stayed there twice, beginning and end of trip. It offers, what you pay for: nothing spectacular but perfectly okay. The room was clean, the beds good, the room fairly quiet (that is: AC-noise does not bother us). For a little extra (10 CUC) we got one of the bigger rooms (109). We reserved this room twice. The investment was... More

We stayed at Dos Mares twice during our visit to cuba. Our first 2 nights were great. Nice big room (209) with an obstructed view of the ocean but ok. The room was very clean and quiet with 5 windows for a cross breeze. The breakfast is standard cuban fare but sufficent to tie you over for a bit. We... More

There was a a small lizzard in our room to be honest. They wanted us to pay for luggage stoage the day we were leaving which... More

Dos Mares is perfectly fine for the cost. Our room was small but quiet enough. There are very few twin rooms. If booking ahead, be careful that you book for Dos Mares itself rather than its sister hotel, the Pullman, most of which is on the main road and looked to us very noisy. More
