I stayed at the Pestana hotel april 19-26 2015 the hotel does not look 2 years old more like ten years old and needs work even the lights outside walking to the room where all out for the first two days which made it dark walking back to room but the staff where the best part of the hotel the bar staff cleaning staff and grounds keepers where all very nice and friendly. The beach is very nice a little rocky in shallow parts but once you past the rocks its sandy.people wake up before 6 am to get the shady covers so if you don't get up early your in the direct sun all day.the only problem is the food it's terrible for real there is lots of it but very blan for me and my family. I love CUBA and the people they make CUBA a wonderful experience but the food needs improvement or least at the Pestana hotel

Bonjour, Mon épouse et moi-même avons séjourné à l’hôtel Pestana en février dernier. Le site est merveilleux, et de bonne grosseur, tout est bien aménagé. Le poisson frit du de la cantine de la plage est à ne pas manquer. Yosbani, le chef cuisinier de la cantine de la plage vous servira avec le sourire à tous les jours. Que de belles journées nous avons eues. Merci pour l’accueil généreux de tous les cubains pendant nos vacances.

Great resort to go to. Many great staff: Lismary at the service desk is very helpful, Saily Cruze, Aralenny, Elizabeth and Yordany in the lobby are great. They understand what you ask them and want to make sure we are satisfied. Saily is fluent is French and English which is a great asset. Yordany loves to goof around and make people laugh. Elizabeth is always ready to make sure you are pleased with the service. It's nice to have them around. They easily put a smile on your face. At the beach, Michel at the towel stand is a lovely guy who is also fluent in English and French. Ali and the other beach boys are really helpful to make sure we have a great place to enjoy the beach. At the buffet, Taimy, and the others are pleased to serve us. They compete as to who will be the lucky one to serve you. Thanks everyone for making this a great vacation!

Perfect sea
Reviewed by Annmarie L() on Apr 14, 2019
Staff lovely beach and sea perfect, apart from cans and beer bottles left on beach from people visiting, they should take there rubbish home with them instead of ruining somewhere so beautiful, the food at hotel had gone down hill though, very repetitive bread only at breakfast and no pizza so a little disappointed, but weather great
Great Staff

Was here in February. I have only positive comments on this resort, as we were there to relax.The beech was great always sun chairs available and the staff were wonderful.The buffet staff,Sandiel,Keiny,Heti,Yanisbel and Reehier( sorry for misspelling) were so thoughtful and always smiling. At the Lobby Yoan serves some of the best drinks I have ever had and Yoalmis,Yaisimy, and Yidsy made for an exceptional experience. We will be going back.

1st time to Cuba-can’t wait to return!!

This resort is so well worth your money. I can’t say enough good things about it. Leaving to come home was difficult! The hotel is well staffed and so welcoming and friendly. I’m not a buffet person but I had absolutely no issues enjoying the food there! The buffet was well stocked and very clean. The Cuban restaurant was by far my most favourite. I did not want for anything at this resort and I have travelled the Caribbean extensively. This was my first time to Cuba and I will definitely be going back to this same resort- no need to look elsewhere. A few people to mention: Yoan at the coffee house who always had our after dinner coffees ready for us- thank you to you and your sister so much for your amazing service you’re the best!!! I miss your after dinner cappuccinos! All the serving staff really deserve the best appreciation. Pinky...thank you for welcoming Kimberly and myself. You made our stay like home. Norje at the pool bar...always the best service with our cocktails at the ready! David and Miguel on the entertainment crew- thank you for making it fun. There were so many more people and so little time! Our room was nice and always cleaned perfectly. The beds were a bit stiff and pillows flat but I still didn’t have a problem sleeping. We never had a problem getting towels or beach towels. The shows and evening entertainment were fun. They really put a great effort into their dance and choreography. I really enjoyed them! And yes the people appreciate your tips. As they should. They work longer hours than any of the guests that stay there and your tipping does go a long way for them so show them your appreciation and don’t be stingy. The beach in Cayo Coco is by far the most BEAUTIFUL I’ve seen. The water was clear and perfect. I can’t imagine a more Perfect beach really? The snorkeling was amazing. I highly recommend the catamaran trip if you like to snorkel. The resort was always clean and the people there work extremely hard to make your stay memorable. I can’t say I encountered one negative person or circumstance here- even the bathroom attendants were all friendly and always had a smile for you. I truly don’t understand any negativity about this place. I’m sure if you are looking for problems you’ll find them if you want to. It was a true pleasure to stay here for a week and we are already planning our next girls trip back!! Thank you to everyone who made our stay so memorable. Until next time!!
Had a great time with my family

This resort was good for the price. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were good and cleaned everyday. Beach is amazing, white powder sand. My suggestion is to bring soy sauce, seasoned salt, maple syrup, etc. to give that extra for the food. There is a good variety of food, but after time it gets tiring. It would be the same at home if I ate at a buffet for a week. All in all the price was right and the resort was good.
