We are due to arrive in August 2012 and after reading some very mixed reviews I am feeling a little uneasy, as dependent upon our experience family members may be coming in January 2013 It all sounds very lovely and we do visit 5 star hotels in the carribean every year. I am a little bit worried about the cleanliness... More

We have been to PRDO 3 times and it is one of our favourite hotels in Cuba. The Royal Service is extraordinary and we can't wait to go back again.

When we arrived, the room (suite deluxe) was not cleaned. We had dead frogs in the room and some other insects lying everywhere. we thought to not complain already at the arrival and for sure, the...

My husband and I stayed at this resort from My 4-11. We have wanted to try the PRDOP for several years and finally decided to spend the little bit extra. I am glad we did. Rooms: We stayed in the regular junior suite, which was perfectly fine and certainly up to the standard of other 4.5 - 5 star resorts... More

We visited Paradisus Rio de Oro again and again we were left with smiles on our faces and great memories of a wonderful vacation. The hotel keeps on getting better and better in all the aspects. The people seem more friendly and more prepared, the grounds are greener and better manicured, there are nice changes in some restaurants, the food... More

My husband and I have just returned from the Paradisus where we spent a belated honeymoon. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we cannot fault the staff. The politeness, courtesy and friendliness of all staff (including the gardeners - don't forget to tip them as well as they do a great job) is to be commended.... More

This holiday was the first package holiday in many years for my boyfriend and myself and I have to say we were both left very disappointed by the Paradisus and hopefully this review will help others to decide whether or not to stay at this hotel. We are both fairly well travelled and Tripadvisor is always the first thing we... More
