    Good Points: Rooms: Very clean. No issues, however, very basic for a 4 star (i.e.: no Kleenex/tissue, no bottle water, empty fridge, no conditioner or moisturizer, glasses not wrapped, no clock, etc..)

    Facilities: good location, nice size hotel, well laid out. Entertainment and animation was good.

    beach: Excellent, although lots of broken chairs and difficult to get a sun umbrella.


    Bad Points: Reception at hotel: Long lines ups and did not get requested room. Next morning, was able to change room, great view. Front desk staff not very quick and helpful.

    Discotheque, very bad smell (musty) and played same music mix every night. Bar choice also very limited there.

    Bars: had to wait numerous minutes before being server, while they tended to other things like cleaning counters, filling ice buckets...They are not client oriented at all. Beach bar limited drinks (no beer/wines).

    Restaurant: this is the worst part of this hotel. Definitely not 4 star. Same items for breakfast, repetitious buffet, the grill at the Rancho only has chicken thighs (no white meat) meats are not tender, overall food very bland. The pool snack bar serves cold hot dogs, with ketchup, mustard, mayo diluted with water. Toasters in the morning was either burning bread or not toasting at all. Whenever they were good items (such as tortellini one night) it would be gone within minutes as word went around that that item was good. Prosciuto was cut by an attendant, not thinly as it should be but in 1/4 slices...try to chew that !...Overall, food was not appealing, not tasty, lacked variety...I'm not a difficult person and usually can eat everywhere/almost anything, but with some elementary food preparation...

    Last thing- noticed that if you tipped, you get attention. (bar attendant, waiter, etc...) Which I believe should not be necessary to be served in an all inclusive resort.


    General comments: I would not rate the Coralia Club Playa de Oro hotel as 4 star.

    Everything about Coralia Club Playa de Oro was great, the beach, the rooms, the pool, the drinks, the food and most importantly THE STAFF!! They are very very nice, entertaining (animation team) and they really want you to have a good time...
    These people are so hard working and dedicated, it's impressive. Our maid was great...Her name is Marlene and she was just so sweet, we talked with her and she always left us something special in the room.

    We have just returned from a tour plus hotel stay holiday for the first time ever to Cuba and spent four nights in Coralia Club Playa de Oro which is a superb and friendly hotel. If we say we cannot wait to go back there, it should say it all. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and we would certainly recommend to all our friends.

    Just got back from Coralia Club Playa de Oro yesterday 4 of us (gals) flew to Cuba on March 2nd for one week. We had a great time in the sun! This was my first trip to the Caribbean and I will definitely be going back.

    We booked with LeGrows Travel and flew with Air Transat We decided to upgrade to 1st class and it was definitely worth the extra $$$. We were treated to sparkling wine the minute the plane leveled off and from then until we landed in Cuba the food and drink just kept coming ...

    Coralia Club Playa de Oro is an exceptionally clean and well maintained hotel. Staff go out of their way to help and will always find someone to answer you if they can't. Language isn't much of a barrier as most staff speak AT LEAST two languages although you can both have a laugh if you choose to try Spanish! The food is of a very high standard in the buffet restaurant, as is the service from the staff who ensure your glass is always full! Food in the a la carte restaurants was sometimes a bit ...
