First time at roc

I had a bit of culture shock when landing I’ve been to Varadero 14 times and my room and the lobby bar scared me not very clean and very dated I wanted to go home but I told myself to calm down and remember where I was at least give it a chance.So in the morning decided to go for a walk to explore found 3pools all nice and the ocean in close proximity to the hotel all bonuses.Tried the water in the sink no hot water definitely a downer tried the shower the same really sucked .I requested a pool view room got a street but whatever .Morning came lots of water under my sink in the bathroom …cleaned it up moved on .Still no hot water but still washed my hair with cold water.Dried my hair with provided hair dryer which shot out a huge flame scared the hang out of me but whatever.Talked to the Sunwing rep respectfully to ask about the lack of hot water which he remedied.Tv was nice lots of channels bed was comfy maid was nice,still water in the room every day kind of concerning standing in the water with a hairdryer that shoots out flames to your head lol.Had problems with my room key but was fixed so no problems there.There are a lot of cats here which to be honest I really liked I miss my dogs at home and these guys all wanted love and food happy to oblige them.Ocean was beautiful no lack of chairs or towels and may I say they lady who works at the towel exchange is so very nice didn’t get her name but she is definitely an asset,All the staff here were very nice.Food was good but repetitive.Resort is nice that you can walk downtown or Santa Marta.Would I return not for the price I paid for a solo traveller but it was still a good trip

We LOVE Barlovento ??. We are returning vacationers, because we LOVE the staff! They take such good care of you and ensure all your needs are met. We have some favorite people, Lia, Yusett, Iris are just to name afew. Their rooms are comfy, clean and always checking to see if we need anything. We also LOVE the ham and cheese sandwiches from the Snack Shack. We will return before you know it. Beach and ocean is like no other! Cuba is our home away from home ??

Had a wonderful time, were in Cuba for the first time and would definitely highly recommend it. Staff are so friendly and make you feel like family. Definitely going back. Beach is so clean and the water is so blue. Waiters on the beach and pool side
Amazing resort with lots of friendly cats!

This was our first stay at Barlovento, and we will definitely be going back! The rooms/beds are very comfortable, the staff is amazing and the "cat sanctuary" is a cat-lovers dream!! With a Roc Plus room, we had no problems getting an a la carte reservation every day we were there. The pools are very nice and the beach is beautiful. The resort is older, but well maintained. When we were there they were renovating the snack bar - it looks like it will be beautiful. The resort location is great - you can walk out the door and you are on the strip! There was only one day that there were no eggs, but no shortages other than that even though I heard people from other fancier resorts were short of eggs almost every day and they also had shortages on coffee. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone, UNLESS you don't like cats. They are looked after, fixed and vaccinated and most are fairly domesticated and friendly. However, there are a lot of them so be warned that if you don't like them, don't go here!
