The strong points
The good points were a very good beach, good staff for the kids, half of the staff were good in the buffet and good entertainment staff.
The weak points
The bad points was theft in the hotel was rampant. The result was the food was old and recycled. Old chicken and old ham is not a buffet. The rum and beer was watered down and made me sick everyday. I was not drunk even one day.
Sanitary measures
Pool and room was cleaned well everyday. Rest of the hotel not so much

Great vacation
Martin Herman, Toronto, ON
2024-06-25
It was a relly nice vacation with my girlfriend, we spent one week on the beach sunbathing, tipping is very important here, remember that. Rooms are wide. The architecture is colonial. The staff can make happen unexpected things if you ask for it. We had Diamond Club category and its very recommended to anybody for better attention. [Details]

C'est ma première fois à elmhotel et c'était très bien, la plage est très originale, je recommande à tout le monde de venir dans ce Resort pour réaliser le rêve de sa vie. Ce que j'ai le plus apprécié, c'est la courtoisie et l'attention de tous les travailleurs. Mais je tiens à souligner l'équipe Guest Service pw, ils sont très professionnels à tous points de vue.

Wasn't as expected
Anthony, Acton, ON
2024-06-21
It's an understatement to say it wasn't great. I'm usually not picky but I had to switch hotel rooms 2 times the first room was filled with bugs after one night in my second room the a/c went out and nobody was around to fix it. My third room was better but still had its flaws hole in the sliding door at the top had to be plugged to stop bugs from entering the room. Bed sheets were nasty dirty every sheet and pillow was stained with one pillow having mold on it. I didn't expect great food as it's Cuba but I also didn't expect the food to be like slop I stuck to the pizza and hotdog stand this trip. Website says 5 restaurants but really it's 1 that changes theme every night and used the buffet food anyway. Other than that the beach was beautiful which is always nice as you spend most your time there. The one pool was nice as well.The staff were all welcoming and very nice as well. Thankfully there was no shortage of drinks through the week. I will not be returning to this to say the least [Details]

Very friendly people, very helpful.Great service door to door. My room had a wonderful view of the ocean and the beach. The food was very palatable and healthy., Depending on your personal discretion. Meaningful excursion packages, Historical excursion. I recommend the sugar cigar and rum excursion. I didn't bring the children this time.But I was very pleased to see that they have entertainment for their children and babysitting services. Worth a visit. [Details]
