Résumé des avis

Guests particularly appreciate the beautiful, wide, and well-maintained beach, dotted with numerous palapas. The staff is also frequently praised for their friendliness, hospitality, and excellent service. Furthermore, the hotel grounds are considered very attractive, with lush and manicured vegetation. However, the buffet food is sometimes found disappointing, lacking variety or warmth. Additionally, some guests feel the rooms could benefit from renovations, occasionally mentioning issues with comfort or amenities.

Welcome to the paradise
Welcome to the paradise

Loved the buffet, a little lacking in meat but otherwise very good. No mixer at the bar so the piña colada was ordinary, but everything else was very good and the bartenders were excellent. Amazing beach with very alert beach staff who listened to our needs, plus a good entertainment team. Lack of evening entertainment, but otherwise a very good hotel

Adore le buffet manque unpeu de viande mais sinon très bon.Pas de mélangeur au bar donc piña colada ordinaire sinon le reste très bon et les barmans excellent.Plage incroyable avec personnel de plage très alertes et à l’écoute de nos besoins en plus d’avoir une bonne équipe d’animation.Manque d’animation le soir sinon très bon hôtel

The hotel is large and welcoming, the staff are friendly and attentive, the beach is beautiful and well maintained, the only downside is the food, always the same menu morning and evening

L'hôtel est grand et accueillant, personnel gentil et a l'écoute, la plage est belle et bien entretenue, seul bémol cest la nourriture, tout le temps le meme menu matin et soir

Experience in Cuba mossade, we have 2 young children and waited for 7 hours to get the room. The buffet hours do not correspond to our habits 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., the meals offered are a lot of fish and seafood, given that their cleanliness leaves a little to be desired we did not eat anything that could make us sick, so a week eating bread and pasta... Be careful because the plugs are not those of Canada so bring adapters. The shows are okay but very late because they are scheduled for 9:30 p.m. but are always late so more like 10 p.m. (late when you have children) Lots of broken things (toilets, outdoor shower, etc.) The pool is really nice but we didn't enjoy it because on the first day someone pooped in it, it was cleaned a few days later but for fear of getting sick we went to the beach instead, it is superb because there is a lot of shade (palm tree and parasol) What else can I say, oh yes don't have too many expectations for the hotel store because it is either closed or has nothing to sell except tourist stuff, but if you are missing something don't bother going there. These are the worst drinks I have ever had, even a simple mojito looks like a fluorescent yellow juice, don't look for orange juice because they will serve you a juice in a bag like Tang from home. I knew that Cuba was not known for its food but frankly on this one. Apart from all that we had a good holiday, we may have had too high expectations of this hotel but we will rather return to Mexico next time which offers better service.

Expérience à Cuba mossade, nous avons 2 jeunes enfants et avons attendus pendant 7h d avoir la chambre.
Les horaires du buffet ne correspondent pas à nos habitudes 7h à 10h,13h à 15h et 19h à 22h, les repas proposés sont beaucoup de poissons et fruits de mer, étant donné que leur coté propreté laisse un peu à désirer on a pas manger se qui pourrais nous rendre malade, donc une semaine à manger du pain et des pâtes…
Attention car les prises ne sont pas celles du Canada donc prévoir des adaptateurs.
Les spectacles sont corrects mais très tard car ils sont prévu à 21h30 mais sont toujours en retard donc plutôt 22h ( tard quand on a des enfants)
Beaucoup de choses brisés ( toilettes, douche extérieur, etc…)
La piscine est vraiment bien mais nous n en avons pas profité car le 1er jour quelqu un a chier dedans, ca a été nettoyé quelque jours plus tard mais de peur d être malade on a été plutôt à la plage, celle ci est superbe car beaucoup d ombre ( palmier et parasol)
Quoi dire d autre, ah oui n ayez pas trop d attente envers le magasin de l hôtel car il soit fermé soit rien a vendre à part des truc de touriste, mais s il vous manque quelques choses pas la peine de vous y rendre.
C est les pires drinks que j ai jamais bu, même un simple mojito ressemble a un jus jaune fluo, ne chercher pas de jus d orange car il vont vous servir un jus en sachet comme du Tang de chez nous.
Je savais que Cuba n était pas réputé pour la bouffe mais là franchement dessus. Mise à part tout ça on a passer de bonne vacances, on avait peut etre eu trop d attente envers cet hôtels mais on va plutôt retourner au Mexique les prochaines fois qui offre un meilleur service.

Pleasant stay, but some areas for improvement
Séjour agréable, mais quelques points à améliorer

The site is beautiful, the pools are very well maintained, and the staff is warm and attentive, which made our stay overall pleasant. However, we would have appreciated being informed in advance that only two of the eight restaurants were open and that the Reserve lobby was closed. Entertainment was virtually nonexistent, which dampened the atmosphere somewhat. The food, however, was what you would generally expect in Cuba: redundant and lacking in flavor. That said, it is clear that the staff is doing their best with the resources available, and we applaud their efforts. In summary, the setting is superb and the service is good, but some adjustments to the information, activities, and food could improve the experience.

Le site est magnifique, les piscines sont très bien entretenues et le personnel est chaleureux et attentionné, ce qui a rendu notre séjour globalement agréable.

Cependant, nous aurions apprécié être informés à l’avance que seulement 2 des 8 restaurants étaient ouverts et que le lobby du Reserve était fermé. L’animation était pratiquement inexistante, ce qui a un peu diminué l’ambiance.

Concernant la nourriture, elle est conforme à ce qu’on peut généralement attendre à Cuba : redondante et peu goûteuse. Cela dit, il est évident que le personnel fait de son mieux avec les ressources disponibles, et nous saluons leurs efforts.

En résumé, le cadre est superbe et le service est bon, mais quelques ajustements au niveau de l’information, des activités et de la restauration pourraient améliorer l’expérience.

Never again!!!
Plus jamais !!!

We were there in 2018, we had only good comments. 2025! Total lack of cleanliness. The floors are washed with water from the fish tanks. Towels not changed, air conditioning in the room smells of damp (the bottom of a cellar). Glasses poorly washed, you can see fingerprints and lipstick on them. Very unfriendly staff. Restaurant closed. For breakfast and dinner we have to go to The Reserve section, which requires more walking. Very few shows in the evening. Lack of food. To clean, I don't think they have disinfectant. It never smells clean. The beach and the water are magnificent! Service on the beach, if you tip him in Canadian money, he won't come back, he ignores you. We hated our week at Paradisus. We do not recommend it. But each to their own!!

Nous avons été en 2018, nous avions que des bons commentaires. 2025 ! Manque totale de propreté.
Les planchers sont lavés avec l'eau des bassins contenant les poissons. Serviettes non changées, air climatisé dans la chambre qui sent l'humidité (le fond de cave). Les verres mal lavés, on peut voir les empreintes et rouge à lèvres dessus. Personnel très peu souriant. Resto fermé. Déjeuner et souper on doit aller dans la section The Reserve, ce qui demande plus de marchemant. Très peu de spectacles en soirée. Manque de nourriture. Pour nettoyer, je pense qu'ils n'ont pas de désinfectant. Ça ne sent jamais le propre. La plage et l'eau est magnifique ! Service sur la plage, si vous lui donner un pourboire en argent canadien, il ne reviendra plus, il vous ignore. Nous avons détesté notre semaine au Paradisus. Nous ne le recommandons pas. Mais chacun ses goûts !!
