We had a very pleasant stay and lacked nothing, except for the slightly disappointing beach.
Un séjour fort agréable et nous n'avons manqué de rien, si ce n'est la plage un peu décevante..
Nothing but good things!!
Que du bien !!

A warm welcome; they do what they can with what they have.
Accueil chaleureux, ils font ce qu'ils peuvent avec leur moyen
It depends on your expectations; if you have them, I wouldn't recommend it; if you don't, you'll enjoy your vacation. Beautiful beach, though a bit rough, friendly and welcoming staff, but the food: even though they say Cuba is Cuba, after a dozen vacations in this country, we've never seen such a limited variety (you can see that supplies are very limited, which is why I wrote, they're doing what they can with what they have right now).
Dépend de vos attentes, si vous en avez, ne le recommande pas, si vous n'en avez pas, vous aimerez vos vacances. Belle plage agitée, personnel sympathique et accueilant, nourriture : même si on dit Cuba c'est Cuba, après une douzaine de vacances dans ce pays, nous n'avons jamais vu aussi peu varié (on voit que l'approvisionnement est très limité, c'est pourquoi j'ai écrit , ils font ce qu'ils peuvent avec leur moyen actuellement)

A trip to Cuba to a resort for adults who just want to relax
Un voyage à cuba dans un resort pour adulte qui veulent uniquement se reposer
I'm well aware of the cliché that you don't travel to Cuba for the food, but during my stay, it reached a whole new level. Finding a dish that was both varied and actually edible at the buffet was a real challenge. The activities offered were diverse, but quickly became repetitive. The staff, while very friendly, often insisted on tips. As for cocktails, it was 50/50: it all depended on the bartender or barista. You either got an excellent drink or a complete disaster, half alcohol and half juice. The room, for its part, was very clean, although I did have a visit from two or three rather gargantuan cockroaches. In short, it's not a bad resort for a short stay, but after two or three days, you quickly got tired of it.
Je suis bien conscient du cliché voulant qu’on ne voyage pas à Cuba pour la nourriture, mais lors de mon séjour, cela a atteint un tout autre niveau. Trouver un plat à la fois varié et réellement mangeable au buffet relevait d’un véritable défi.

Quant aux cocktails, c’était du 50/50 : tout dépendait du barman ou du barista. Soit on avait droit à un excellent breuvage, soit à une véritable catastrophe, moitié alcool et moitié jus.
La chambre, pour sa part, était très propre, bien que j’aie eu la visite de 2 ou 3 coquerelles de taille plutôt gargantuesque. Bref, ce n’est pas un mauvais resort pour un court séjour, mais après 2 ou 3 jours, on a rapidement fait le tour.

This hotel probably had its heyday about fifteen years ago!!! Looks beautiful but very old. It seems that when something stops working, they let it go instead of fixing it. Empty fountains, paint needs to be redone everywhere. Very old rooms, plumbing needs to be redone, showers need to be redone. On the other hand, the worst rating goes to the cleanliness of the rooms; you can give a good tip, they only make the bed and give towels. They don't have any cleaning trolleys. On the other hand, the staff is generally very pleasant and motivated. I consider it a 3*. If you can, I recommend the Mélia Las Americas where I have already stayed and it is still very beautiful.
Probablement que cet hôtel a eu son heure de gloire il y a une quinzaine d'année!!! Semble beau mais très vieillot. On dirait que lorsque quelque chose ne fonctionne plus, ils laissent aller au lieu de réparer. Fontaines vides, peinture à refaire partout. Chambres très vieilles, plomberie à refaire, douches à refaire. Par contre la pire note va à la propreté des chambre; t'as beau donner un bon pourboire, ils ne font que le lit et remettent des serviettes. Ils n'ont aucun chariot pour le ménage. Par contre le personnel est en général très agréable et motivé. Je considère comme un 3*. Si vous le pouvez, je vous recommande le Mélia Las Americas ou j'ai déjà séjourné et encore très beau.
