We went to this resort about 4 years ago mid of May, from montreal we payed for the 2 weeks evenrything include for both adults $1600 tx inclusive, so on this note we don't have much to complain. The ride to the resort was a hoot, as the road is not too shabby and country road around up and down... More

Bit boring not much to do and lack of transportation to go in town..there is a 2.$ bus but it leaves at 1 PM just at lunchtime..otherwise it will cost you 8 to 10$ with a scary taxi. The town of Trinidad is quite interesting..do not miss the cuevas..

i don't know where to begin. This is probably the worse hotel that I have ever stayed in. This hotel is part of Cubacan (owned by Cuba). The lobby and other common areas are very misleading (sort of nice). I kept thinking the reviews were wrong...this is a nice hotel. But that quickly changed when I got to the front... More

Traveled as a couple in April 2012 and stayed there for 5 nights. Food was probably the worst part, most of the food looked like you got get a food poisoning from it. But the beach was nice and we had no complaints of the staff. Our room was old and tobacco-smelling (there are no non-smoking rooms) and beds had... More

For the third time in my 12 day visit to Cuba, the arrival of the pope messed up our original reservations and we were forced to stay at the Soviet Era cement bunker hotel: The Ancon. This is an "all inclusive" resort by the sea (meaning you have to wear a bracelet even to get onto the beach). I rejected... More

We got sent here when the government kicked us out of our intended hotel. It's pretty awful. Towels and linens were stained, cafeteria was almost hilariously bad, grounds were not maintained. But my air conditioner did work, and I had hot water at least half the time! I'd never pick this, though in a pinch at least it's a place... More

We stayed here for one night as part of the highlights of Cuba tour and thank god it was only 1 night! Terrible place! When we arrived, it looked ok, the beach was beautiful and we had high hopes until we saw our room! We were on our honeymoon and they gave us a twin room on the 7th floor!... More

We were part of a Peregrine Adventure travel tour and we were advised we had been upgraded to this place instead of staying in Trinidad. For a so called adventure tour this was like going to hospital with huge bunch of tourists. Room was tiny and tired, air conditioning blowing less than 30 cm from your body, and you could... More

We had requested to stay at Brisas de Trinidad but they moved us to this hotel. It was awful. They gave us a room in the side that has not been rennovated. it was awful. The bathroom was in poor conditions, the phone did not work, the lamp in the room did not work, there were no outlets to plug... More

Another fun trip to Ancon and Trinidad. I've been all over Cuba and this is my favourite place to be. This time I traveled with Sunwing. The beach is still terrific and the reef still amazing. Sunwing is very good to travel with and their rep Mirelbis is a knowledgable advisor as well as a great amiga. She's always fun... More
