Hotel Playa Paraiso

This hotel could be one of the best in Cuba. The staff from bar, restaurant and room.are fantastic. The animation are fantastic Yuni, Mitch and Humberto are excellent. I’ve read previous reviews and there saying the food was good. This is not true, the food in the main restaurant is Luke warm at best.most days it wasn’t edible. To the chef I say shame on you. The snack bar...........Omg never experienced ruder staff in Cuba. On the up I lost 9lb,

Do not come to this hotel it is horrible the beds are damaged and they refused to switch my room to another one I have been here for 5 days and haven’t slept one full night .. I’m suppose to be on vacation and have yet to enjoy myself. Food is okay but SERVICE HERE IS HORRIBLE THEY DO NOT KNOW CUSTOMER SERVICE. I have stayed in Cuba before at Cayo Santa Maria and boy that had my expectations set high this is not a 4star hotel it’s more of a 2 star. Also check in is suppose to be 4pm and my room wasn’t ready until 4:45 even then they weren’t finished but I said don’t worry because I was waiting for my room since 11am and was very tired so were my children Horrible experience and I will never come back here again

I was at Playa Paraiso second-week of march. I liked most of the experience. Good service, especially buffet, theatre bar, beach bar. Food one of the best you can find in Cuba. The best beach so far in my life. The best a la carte restaurants. Good wine everywhere. Poor entertainment! The same group of artists every night, not the best choice. The lip-syncing night ridiculous! The real reason I am not coming back to this resort is the hotel. Outdated, smelly, stained, dirty! Waking up at six in the morning, in the dark, using flashlights, to reserve chairs on the beach and swimming pool a very bad tradition. Services and supplies are never consistent in this resort.

Visited over March Break. Resort Pros and Cons Pros Beautiful resort Best beach ever Priority section of the beach always had loungers, and staff willing to help you Most stunning and warm water-very clear Good room-three beds, beautiful bathroom, mattresses discussed under cons Maid was an absolute sweetheart and our room was always clean and well-stocked Snack bar 24 hours-excellent food and great service. Props go to Carlos, Derick, Yanet, and Ali. No issue with towels-always got clean ones, except that the towel place was not always open. We took a tip from someone else and brought our own. The people-staff is superb Excellent breakfast The price Good service Quiet Kids’ club Good shows Lovely music in the lobby Very family oriented-not a party place Best coffee and cappuccino ever! Small resort-easy for walking Well lit Good airport and fast Cons I got violently ill on day 5, partner was also sick but not to the same degree. Unsure of the cause. It took us a week to recover despite being on a prescription to avoid traveller’s diarrhea. It was NOT caused by too much sun or alcohol. Had it not been for this, I would have rated our trip higher bc before this, we were having an excellent time. Mattresses were BRUTAL. My back has never been so sore no clear idea which part of the pool is priority-people were everywhere Total lack of pool lounges (March Break?) Dinner/lunch buffet not good for kids, especially picky ones Ran out of pizza so not available A la carte takes too long-not worth it, UNLESS you are not travelling with little ones and don’t mind the wait. Italian one was a total bust. No wait staff near pool, or anyone to discuss lounges with. Luckily we lived at the beach No real way to shop or get things you need Suggestions for improvement: If one part of the pool SEATING is for priority members only, keep it that way, and/or monitor chair hogs who put their towels down and don’t show up until 3. Other resorts I have been to take your room number and give you a lounger and towel, when you go. 24 hour snack bar could add a few options that may also serve as breakfast. My teen almost never woke up on time to catch breakfast. Have more kid friendly items at the buffet Some priority clubs at other resorts offer room service, but I understand this is not a five star ?? Priority Club yes or no? For us, having the extra service at the beach and being provided more water was important. We also had a fast check in and bellhop service. We also got a late check out. So, in that regard, yes we would do it again, but it means NOTHING if you are someone who wants to skip lineups or have a quieter pool. Would we come back? Yes. We had a wonderful time on a budget that still provided us with some perks to enjoy. I would just be less adventurous in my food choices. You can get sick anywhere you travel. Pack snacks! This resort has recently changed hands and from what I’ve read, has already improved enormously. And the staff here make you feel like family.

Beach is great. Food was ok But we had three of the nicest,best servers I have met. They made us feel welcomed. I would like to thank Inalvis,Yarianna,Crisley for all they did thank u again for making the trip great. Hope to see u next year
