Highly recommended for those seeking a relaxing getaway, our experience was excellent due to its wonderful location and safety. The beach was fantastic, the entertainment enjoyable, and the food and drinks were consistently good during our stay. The incredibly attentive staff went above and beyond to ensure our experience was exceptional. Many thanks to Yinet & Pedro from customer service in particular. The facilities were impeccably clean, and the spacious rooms were well-maintained. [Details]

Amazing slice of heaven
jess880611, Morrisburg, ON
2024-06-19
My husband, mother in law and father in law all spent a week at grand sirenis June 11th to 18th.
From the moment of check in you are met with amazing people, a little ways down the hallway you will meet the most amazing customer service rep Pedro. Pedro goes above and beyond for each and every person that comes to his desk. This young man does not get enough recognition. Always checking in to make sure you have what you need in your room and on resort. If something isn't right just wait 30 mins and it will be. He gets everything fixed in such a timely manner. The pool bar staff of Sebastian and Yosvic are a great team. Yosvic has been serving for a while at the resort but Sebastian if just learning and if that's the case they have found a shooting star. His humour and passion for his job shine through. When in the buffet you have many amazing staff in there but Jarrod always goes that little bit above from flowers and having a special table ready for his guest, he's beyond kind. Behind the sense you have Joll and what a great asset to the resort. He was newly there are last trip and this last week you can see how much he has brought to the resort food wise and has told us some of his plans for his next steps at the resort, make sure you stop and chat with him either to say hi or to let him know where he can approve to make it better for you. He also wants to know if a quest has an allergy that he can make sure everything is safe for you while there.
Food was better than I've ever had in Cuba. There was something for everyone. Chicken, pork, eggs, hotdogs, fruits even ICE CREAM! We were never short on anything while we were there.
Lobby bar we always seemed to wait awhile to get noticed that we were there. But Jack is the best lobby bar waiter. He tries his best to teach you Spanish and makes you family and laugh.
Off to the beach…. What an amazing view, great music and ice cold drinks. Down at the beach you'll meet the bar tenders who are out there in all weather to make sure you have a drink. Adonis and Yasneil have always made us feel like family. From our chatting, hang outs or just keeping our items safe while we go out in the water. We know we can trust those two with our things. These two guys are outstanding.
The ocean view rooms. Oh my god what a view… it's a slice of heaven! Room was always clean beyond any standards we had. Smelling fresh, no bugs and clean towels every day. Beds and pillows are some of the best beds we've slept on at resorts.
We honestly can't wait to go back and enjoy this great slice of heaven [Details]

As a returning guest, from the moment we arrived, being treated with welcome back smiles. Remembering who we are and our names. Like we are part of the Sirenis family. The customer service team is outstanding, Pachy, Pedro, and Yinet. Always with smiles and helpfully in anyway needed. Good morning greetings, making sure we slept well and have a great day. Great variety of foods, Ala carte we had lobster, chicken, pork, beef always displayed elegantly. The soup, what ever soup we had was delicious. The buffet had a variety of choices. Jesus the breakfast cook is such a joy in the mornings. He remembered us and knew right away what we wanted. Our room was impeccable, clean beautiful view. No lack for anything. The beach is the best I have seen in Cuba. Soft sand, clear water. A gentleman brought our chairs to exactly where we wanted them everytime. Alex and Ricky are the best bartenders. There is always something to do for all ages day and night. Entertainment crew hats off to Annie. I look forward to returning. [Details]

Perfect Mom & Daughter Trip at the Grand Sirenis
Sophia, Laval, QC
2024-06-09
★★★★★ Another Unforgettable Stay at Grand Sirenis Cayo Santa Maria: Perfect Mother & Daughter Trip!
Our second visit to Grand Sirenis Cayo Santa Maria was as phenomenal as our first! This time, I had the pleasure of experiencing this tropical paradise with my daughter, and once again, the resort exceeded all our expectations with its excellent customer service and breathtaking ambiance.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The stunning location, with its pristine white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, provided the perfect backdrop for our restful getaway.
Our room once again was spacious, modern, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The housekeeping staff consistently ensured our room was spotless and entertained us on a daily with very innovative towel designs!
The resort's dining options were impressive, especially considering it's low season in Cuba. There was a wide range of cuisines to suit every palate. Of note was the returning guest dining invitation, where all returning guests were treated to a delicious lobster dinner and a saxophone serenade!
What can we say about the beautiful Sunset? Breathless!
The nightly performances at the lobby were a highlight, showcasing talented artists and offering great entertainment and dancing.
A special mention goes to Pedro from Customer Relations. His professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness made us feel like VIPs every day. Pedro, you truly made our stay memorable once again – thank you! You are the best!
To the newest Customer Relations Yinet, you are doing great! Thanks for everything!
The staff at Grand Sirenis, Cayo Santa Maria, were exceptional in every way. Whether at the front desk, in the restaurants, or among the activities team, everyone went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Their genuine warmth and professionalism made our visit even more enjoyable. We even had the pleasure of meeting the General Manager, Luis! Congratulations, Luis, on a great establishment and team!
Grand Sirenis Cayo Santa Maria remains our top-notch destination. Our second stay was as magical as the first, and I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Cuba. Five stars once again, and we can't wait to return!
P.S. Have I mentioned the Beds? Grand Sirenis Cayo Santa Maria has the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever experienced. Let me know if you agree! [Details]

Unforgettable experience
melina13, Montréal, QC
2024-05-18
My recent stay was nothing short of spectacular. The resort's location is absolutely stunning, located on a beautiful stretch of white sandy beach with crystal-clear turquoise waters. The views were breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. The beach itself was well-maintained and provided ample space for relaxation and activities.
The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, offering a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. My room had a lovely balcony with a view of the ocean, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a day at the beach.
The resort has a variety of restaurants, each offering a unique culinary experience. I personally tried the Cuban, Italian, and French and I have to say French was by far the best. The buffet also had an impressive selection, as well as the 24 hour snack bar.
What truly made my stay memorable was the exceptional service from the staff. They were always attentive, friendly, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed. Their genuine warmth and hospitality added a personal touch that made me feel truly welcome. [Details]

Good hotel choice for Cuba, but.....
Gl, Toronto, ON
2024-03-08
If you are looking for a Cuba resort, I have no problem in recommending this property to others. But as you will hear from many others, it's "very good for Cuba standards". If this resort experience was in any other country, it wouldn't be rated as high. Top strengths are staff friendliness (most of the time) and the beach/ocean. Hotel room was comfortable, except shower is very low pressure and consider yourself lucky if you get hot water. [Details]

Great beach...clear and clean waters, gradual depth, sandy, kilometers long. Enoyable non-motorized water activities. Friendly staff. Comfortable rooms.
The weak points
Food and drink quality and variety will be a shock to many accustomed to Canadian standards. For Cuba, I guess be grateful for something to eat, but it's very basic and simple foods (boiled or baked) with no seasoning.

Beautiful beaches. Resort was lovely. Food was surprisingly good. Lots of choices including seafood and all.meats, fruits, eggs etc. Cubans work very hard to make your stay nice. Rooms modern. Beds comfortable and hot water. I don't drink alcohol scant speak to that. Entertainment in the lounge was lovely. Did not go to late show. My daughter loved the Michele Jackson show.

The Grand Sirenis in Cayo Santa Maria is beautiful, well kept and modern. The rooms are clean, spacious, comfortable and the ocean view is bliss.
For the price point, this resort is a reasonable and comfortable place for a family to go away for a week. It allows for rest, sunshine and beautiful weather. [Details]

The strong points
The ocean is calm for children to swim in and the clear waters allow for children to see the fish without having to fully submerge. Furthermore, the pools are shallow enough for children to swim about without you fearing for their safety.
The weak points
One of the key issues we had was the shortage of staff, which resulted in long wait times to food and drinks. It also meant that our room had to be skipped over by housekeeping a couple of times.
Sanitary measures
I do caution any travellers to condition your stomachs, as Cuba does have limited food options and sometimes the foods can cause digestive upset. Be cautious when choosing food, as the meat is sometimes undercooked or raw.

I like to start by saying that I have been to dozens of resorts all over and I never had the need to write any reviews. But at this resort I was very disappointed in a few things which I think can be fixed very easy. Fire the managers and hire new ones. The rooms at this resort are very nice and modern, attention should be more given with cleanliness. The hallways in the main building were hardly ever cleaned, some kid spilled juice in front of the elevator on the first floor. That juice was cleaned exactly 5 days later. At the same time, a paddle of water sat in the same hallway for another 5 days and it dried by itself. The toilets at the theatre are in real bad shape and dirty. Toilets at one of the pools is hardly ever open. Dishes and utensils at the buffet are greasy and a couple of them still had someone else's food on them. Glasses are dirty. When it comes to food, it's a hit and miss, but that's Cuba, you don't come to Cuba for the food.
On a different note, the beach is just awesome, the pools are really nice and the grounds are kept very nice. And services are very good.
This beautiful resort needs new management. [Details]

We would not travel to this resort again. The food was not very good, and we were warned about this but it was really difficult to find something to eat. The pizza at the snack bar took an hour to get and people who ordered after us would get theirs quicker if the waved dollar bills around. Bad atmosphere. Same for getting served at the bar. Most staff were not friendly. People smoked everywhere inside and out. Mold in the shower. Stains on the blankets and sheets. [Details]

Natasha Thomson, Scarborough, ON

Myself and my three teenagers spent a week ! It was beautiful! The resort is very clean, modernized, amazing friendly, kind, dedicated hardworking staff! The grounds keepers were helpful and very very friendly!
Two pools with swim up bars, both clean, kid friendly, more then enough room to float, play volleyball, kids to play catch with a ball, or to do as you please.
Rooms were modernized. Beautiful view of the ocean and the well kept landscaping .
Friendly kind caring staff!
Beautiful and very well kept rooms and the entire resort. Room stalked daily wit two water bottles, towels available daily!
Resort is beautiful!
The weak points
Very little shade pool side and at the ocean. If you have small children or are a senior . Suggested you bring an umbrella, or shade tent, hats and extra sunscreen . A lot of shaded areas within the resort that are exposed to the outdoors which is great!

My fifth time at this resort. I gladly return to this hotel for its amazing beach, for its friendly, professional staff, for its beautiful, modern, spacious rooms and for its remarkable level of services. Lots of chairs and shaded areas at the beach. Cataman rides with snorkling available, kayaks, pedalos and snorkling equipment all free. Excellent beach bar service runned by Alexis. Great musicians at lunch and dinner. Excellent, professional nightly shows at the theatre. Considering the price paid and supply issues, don't expect gastronomy. The chef Simon however makes the best with what he has available. The A la carte meals are quite good, at lunch the grill restaurant offers a nice menu for those who prefer a sitdown rather than a buffet. The 24 hour snack offers good sandwiches and homemade chips. Although not a fan of buffets, I always found something ineresting to eat and very good deserts. Lots of salads, fruits and yogurt available. Special thanks to Pachy, Pedro and Rocio of client relations for their excellent support. All the staff from the gardeners to senior management are very friedly and professional giving their best to make our stay memorable. If you encounter a problem, do not hesitate to tell them, they are there to help. [Details]

Horrible Experience at this resort
Ashley Hodgson, Newmarket, ON
2023-04-11
The resort itself is beautiful. I will say this. Beautiful beach & the grounds keeping/ maintenance staff are so friendly and attentive.
Now let me start by saying, I understand Cuba has issues/ shortages with a lot but some of this is just unacceptable. I will place in pot form so this doesn't take up 4 pages.
- 5 days room was entered, not cleaned, and towels/ water not left. - items from makeup bag stolen. Addressed with concierge and it was “maybe I misplaced it”. - protein (even deli meat and cheese) not available. - Multiple times saying tables were reserved (local friends) and they would make jokes in Spanish about white non speaking Spanish people (I understand Spanish) - Bathrooms throughout resort not taken care (I will not elaborate) off and toilet paper not replaced. - When the nightly fashion show was on, and the girls try and sell clothing after. When I said no thank you, I heard the girl say “that fine it won't fit her anyways”.
I could go on and on, but not impressed at all. [Details]

Lovely week away
Michael & Cheryl Murphy, Halifax, NS
2023-04-09
Overall, we had an amazing week. The weather and beach were awesome, only to be topped by the following staff Starting with Pedro in customer relations, it seemed no problem could not be resolved, Then there was our most lovely Yireni serving us in the main lobby bar, her pleasant smile and manner made every visit to the lobby area very enjoyable.
Then were was our waitresses in the main buffett, Alianna and her co worker were so genuinely kind to us and attentive.
During the day when we were at the beach we ate and had drinks at the Beach Snack Bar, oh that was always so tasty, being served by ths most pleasant and almost familiar to us was Yasby, perhaps his name is spelled incorrect, sorry!
Several trips out on the hobby cat, all pleasant and we did the peddle boats too.
Most of the shows were very enjoyable and fun.
Our room had an amazing view, clean and all things were looked after and cleaned and stocked.
The food at the buffett was everything and more than we expected, in fact we did not book a la carts.
We are beach people and we did not use the pool, but it sure looked beautiful in everyway.
The grounds were stunning with long level meandering wide pathways, very well lite up. Suitable for younger families withmstrollers and elderly with walkers or wheel chairs.
Drinks were great, all staff were very approachable.
We have travelled Cuba to Cayo Santa Maria several times, and this was perhaps our most favorable.

Amazing slice of heaven
From the moment of check in you are met with amazing people, a little ways down the hallway you will meet the most amazing customer service rep Pedro. Pedro goes above and beyond for each and every person that comes to his desk. This young man does not get enough recognition. Always checking in to make sure you have what you need in your room and on resort. If something isn't right just wait 30 mins and it will be. He gets everything fixed in such a timely manner.
The pool bar staff of Sebastian and Yosvic are a great team. Yosvic has been serving for a while at the resort but Sebastian if just learning and if that's the case they have found a shooting star. His humour and passion for his job shine through.
When in the buffet you have many amazing staff in there but Jarrod always goes that little bit above from flowers and having a special table ready for his guest, he's beyond kind.
Behind the sense you have Joll and what a great asset to the resort. He was newly there are last trip and this last week you can see how much he has brought to the resort food wise and has told us some of his plans for his next steps at the resort, make sure you stop and chat with him either to say hi or to let him know where he can approve to make it better for you. He also wants to know if a quest has an allergy that he can make sure everything is safe for you while there.
Food was better than I've ever had in Cuba. There was something for everyone. Chicken, pork, eggs, hotdogs, fruits even ICE CREAM! We were never short on anything while we were there.
Lobby bar we always seemed to wait awhile to get noticed that we were there. But Jack is the best lobby bar waiter. He tries his best to teach you Spanish and makes you family and laugh.
Off to the beach…. What an amazing view, great music and ice cold drinks. Down at the beach you'll meet the bar tenders who are out there in all weather to make sure you have a drink. Adonis and Yasneil have always made us feel like family. From our chatting, hang outs or just keeping our items safe while we go out in the water. We know we can trust those two with our things. These two guys are outstanding.
The ocean view rooms. Oh my god what a view… it's a slice of heaven! Room was always clean beyond any standards we had. Smelling fresh, no bugs and clean towels every day. Beds and pillows are some of the best beds we've slept on at resorts.
We honestly can't wait to go back and enjoy this great slice of heaven [Details]
Amazing Resort
The customer service team is outstanding, Pachy, Pedro, and Yinet. Always with smiles and helpfully in anyway needed. Good morning greetings, making sure we slept well and have a great day.
Great variety of foods, Ala carte we had lobster, chicken, pork, beef always displayed elegantly. The soup, what ever soup we had was delicious. The buffet had a variety of choices. Jesus the breakfast cook is such a joy in the mornings. He remembered us and knew right away what we wanted.
Our room was impeccable, clean beautiful view. No lack for anything.
The beach is the best I have seen in Cuba. Soft sand, clear water. A gentleman brought our chairs to exactly where we wanted them everytime. Alex and Ricky are the best bartenders.
There is always something to do for all ages day and night. Entertainment crew hats off to Annie.
I look forward to returning. [Details]
Perfect Mom & Daughter Trip at the Grand Sirenis
Our second visit to Grand Sirenis Cayo Santa Maria was as phenomenal as our first! This time, I had the pleasure of experiencing this tropical paradise with my daughter, and once again, the resort exceeded all our expectations with its excellent customer service and breathtaking ambiance.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The stunning location, with its pristine white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, provided the perfect backdrop for our restful getaway.
Our room once again was spacious, modern, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The housekeeping staff consistently ensured our room was spotless and entertained us on a daily with very innovative towel designs!
The resort's dining options were impressive, especially considering it's low season in Cuba. There was a wide range of cuisines to suit every palate. Of note was the returning guest dining invitation, where all returning guests were treated to a delicious lobster dinner and a saxophone serenade!
What can we say about the beautiful Sunset? Breathless!
The nightly performances at the lobby were a highlight, showcasing talented artists and offering great entertainment and dancing.
A special mention goes to Pedro from Customer Relations. His professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness made us feel like VIPs every day. Pedro, you truly made our stay memorable once again – thank you! You are the best!
To the newest Customer Relations Yinet, you are doing great! Thanks for everything!
The staff at Grand Sirenis, Cayo Santa Maria, were exceptional in every way. Whether at the front desk, in the restaurants, or among the activities team, everyone went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Their genuine warmth and professionalism made our visit even more enjoyable. We even had the pleasure of meeting the General Manager, Luis! Congratulations, Luis, on a great establishment and team!
Grand Sirenis Cayo Santa Maria remains our top-notch destination. Our second stay was as magical as the first, and I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Cuba. Five stars once again, and we can't wait to return!
P.S. Have I mentioned the Beds? Grand Sirenis Cayo Santa Maria has the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever experienced. Let me know if you agree! [Details]
Unforgettable experience
The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, offering a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. My room had a lovely balcony with a view of the ocean, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a day at the beach.
The resort has a variety of restaurants, each offering a unique culinary experience. I personally tried the Cuban, Italian, and French and I have to say French was by far the best. The buffet also had an impressive selection, as well as the 24 hour snack bar.
What truly made my stay memorable was the exceptional service from the staff. They were always attentive, friendly, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed. Their genuine warmth and hospitality added a personal touch that made me feel truly welcome. [Details]

Re: Grand Sirenis CayoSanta Maria
But at this resort I was very disappointed in a few things which I think can be fixed very easy.
Fire the managers and hire new ones. The rooms at this resort are very nice and modern, attention should be more given with cleanliness.
The hallways in the main building were hardly ever cleaned, some kid spilled juice in front of the elevator on the first floor. That juice was cleaned exactly 5 days later. At the same time, a paddle of water sat in the same hallway for another 5 days and it dried by itself.
The toilets at the theatre are in real bad shape and dirty. Toilets at one of the pools is hardly ever open.
Dishes and utensils at the buffet are greasy and a couple of them still had someone else's food on them. Glasses are dirty.
When it comes to food, it's a hit and miss, but that's Cuba, you don't come to Cuba for the food.
On a different note, the beach is just awesome, the pools are really nice and the grounds are kept very nice. And services are very good.
This beautiful resort needs new management. [Details]

Staff is friendly and the animation team is very nice,
Mosquitoes are issue in the evening
Management should pay extra attention to cleanliness
Discoteqhue is too small for 600 rooms property
I understand the hotel is not fully functioning but variety of restaurants and menus also need attention. [Details]

Amazing getaway
Great vacation
Amazing 1st Family Vacation!
Two pools with swim up bars, both clean, kid friendly, more then enough room to float, play volleyball, kids to play catch with a ball, or to do as you please.
Rooms were modernized. Beautiful view of the ocean and the well kept landscaping .
Overall amazing trip! [Details]
Great place to stay
Excellent holidays
Lots of chairs and shaded areas at the beach. Cataman rides with snorkling available, kayaks, pedalos and snorkling equipment all free. Excellent beach bar service runned by Alexis.
Great musicians at lunch and dinner. Excellent, professional nightly shows at the theatre.
Considering the price paid and supply issues, don't expect gastronomy. The chef Simon however makes the best with what he has available. The A la carte meals are quite good, at lunch the grill restaurant offers a nice menu for those who prefer a sitdown rather than a buffet. The 24 hour snack offers good sandwiches and homemade chips. Although not a fan of buffets, I always found something ineresting to eat and very good deserts. Lots of salads, fruits and yogurt available.
Special thanks to Pachy, Pedro and Rocio of client relations for their excellent support. All the staff from the gardeners to senior management are very friedly and professional giving their best to make our stay memorable. If you encounter a problem, do not hesitate to tell them, they are there to help. [Details]
Horrible Experience at this resort
Now let me start by saying, I understand Cuba has issues/ shortages with a lot but some of this is just unacceptable. I will place in pot form so this doesn't take up 4 pages.
- 5 days room was entered, not cleaned, and towels/ water not left.
- items from makeup bag stolen. Addressed with concierge and it was “maybe I misplaced it”.
- protein (even deli meat and cheese) not available.
- Multiple times saying tables were reserved (local friends) and they would make jokes in Spanish about white non speaking Spanish people (I understand Spanish)
- Bathrooms throughout resort not taken care (I will not elaborate) off and toilet paper not replaced.
- When the nightly fashion show was on, and the girls try and sell clothing after. When I said no thank you, I heard the girl say “that fine it won't fit her anyways”.
I could go on and on, but not impressed at all. [Details]
Lovely week away
The weather and beach were awesome, only to be topped by the following staff
Starting with Pedro in customer relations, it seemed no problem could not be resolved,
Then there was our most lovely Yireni serving us in the main lobby bar, her pleasant smile and manner made every visit to the lobby area very enjoyable.
Then were was our waitresses in the main buffett, Alianna and her co worker were so genuinely kind to us and attentive.
During the day when we were at the beach we ate and had drinks at the Beach Snack Bar, oh that was always so tasty, being served by ths most pleasant and almost familiar to us was Yasby, perhaps his name is spelled incorrect, sorry!
Several trips out on the hobby cat, all pleasant and we did the peddle boats too.
Most of the shows were very enjoyable and fun.
Our room had an amazing view, clean and all things were looked after and cleaned and stocked.
The food at the buffett was everything and more than we expected, in fact we did not book a la carts.
We are beach people and we did not use the pool, but it sure looked beautiful in everyway.
The grounds were stunning with long level meandering wide pathways, very well lite up.
Suitable for younger families withmstrollers and elderly with walkers or wheel chairs.
Drinks were great, all staff were very approachable.
We have travelled Cuba to Cayo Santa Maria several times, and this was perhaps our most favorable.
Definately we will be back [Details]
