Playa Pesquero Hotel Reviews

The holiday started off very good. Then went down hill! Rooms in need of repainting, furniture in lobby very poor(o.k for the dog to sleep on).Very dark in grounds and hotel area, low watt bulbs used. Beach not a lot of sand, not like the pictures you see! Pool area around beds dirty and muddy, never cleaned in the two weeks we were there. Low on supplies in bar and restaurant after first week. Trips very expensive! Didn't go anywhere. Tipping requried all the time (no better service) don't bother! ATTACKED by mosquitoes, over 200 bites on husband. Had to escape to our rooms after 16.00 hours. Met some lovely people, over all a good holiday. Will go back to Cuba but not this hotel.

me and my partner have just come back and i have to say this hotel is the best! it is so big, really pretty ponds and lobby area. if you go to cuba you have to go on the day trip to havana or you might aswell say you havent been to cuba at all, it is an eye opener. going to cuba was one big history lesson but not in a bad way as it was really interesting. the sun cruise was excellent aswell and you get to swim with dolphins that arent in captivity!! my partner dives and he said that was the best dive he has ever done, he went to 30metres which he hadnt done before so he was chuffed! *the only downfall is when you book the ala carte restaurants for example; italian,there was nothing on the menu relating to italian food, and we didnt find the seafood one that great either but our friends we met there liked it so dont knock it till you try it. the romantic restaurant is really nice but please DO NOT take your kids in there it spoils the atmosphere of the place and not everybody likes kids(sorry) there are babysitters that are very reliable though and at a fair price. the buffett has every food going we really liked it in there and the staff are constantly topping your drinks up especially with water as it is so humid. you will not see a wasp or any flying bugs in sight! only the odd mozzy because it is that hot. we heard that there were loads of cats hanging around but this isnt true, there are literally about 8 altogether and we only saw them twice in 2weeks. if you feed them then they believe it or not actually go away! the cuban ladies are really friendly and arent bothered wether they get a tip or not, but with the men its a different story, if you want a quick drink,water say, and you dont tip then they will ignore you,but dont worry bout it as they arent going to remember you out of the 1000 people staying so we didnt and were ok...if you go on a trip and need the loo there is a cuban woman givin you loo roll and they are SOOO RUDE they put there hand up and say 'GIVE ME MONEY' how rude we ent all rich! overall 10/10.

PLAYA PESQUERO!! We have just returned from here, and like others we agree there is not anything negative to say about this hotel. Staff were excellent, as were the food, rooms, facilities.....I could go forever! Whilst there we had our wedding and were made to feel like royalty for the day - all our needs were attended to and nothing was too much trouble.

The staff were fantastic and so accommodating. They loved our kids and took the time and trouble to talk to them. Having just read a negative review, who said that the staff were slow, I felt this was true but that was the beauty of coming to a Caribbean island! To relax, unwind and 'act' like the locals! They appreciate anything they receive so much and we took over pens, medicines, anything for the kids and we left shoes, clothes and all our toiletries there. We did however start to run out of baby wipes and were unable to buy any, so if you have babies I would take plenty of these!

We took 9 bottles of suncream with us, as there were 5 of us and we used all of it. As the kids playground and both pools are not shaded we were forever slapping on the sunscreen - if anything this is the only concern we had. We had to keep making sure that our kids, who are 6, 3 and 1, went in the pool for short periods of time so not to burn.

We met several people who have been here a number of times, which reflects what a great place it is. I would go back to this resort tomorrow. We went as a party of 20 and everyone agreed that it was an amazing resort. I can't wait to start saving and go back for an anniversary!

We went to playa Pesquero with first choice last week in jan first in feb 2008. We have have been to Maldives, mexico, Dom Rep, all over europe and apart from the maldives this was the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The room was massive, had every thing you could want, the pool was also massive it was like a big lake. The restaurants were also very good. we are already booked up to go back Jan 2009. The cubans are so freindly and such nice people and they go out of there way to help and please you.

If you are thinking of going to cuba go to this hotel.

We are just back from Cuba and we have to say it was one of the best hols we have ever been on. Hotel is really big with lots to do, 24 hr bar and snack bar. all staff are really friendly even the gardeners. we tipped the bar waiters and they made sure you were ok all night by getting you new drinks and cleaning table and emptying the ashtrays.

Pool is huge and lovely and relaxing to lie at and also there are pool games all day long and a kids club, not the coolest though as the heat was unbearable but we didnt complain thats what we wanted. had a few days rain as it was the rainy season but it was at 4 in the afternoon and that suited us fine as we only lay out until 3 as it was roasting. take plenty sun cream we went through lots. there are always plenty sun loungers at the poolside the only thing its hard to get is the shaded seats they are taken quite quickly because of the heat.
we didnt have any problems with mosquitos or insects, expected it to be really bad from the other reviews, but we didnt get bitten once, we did get cochroaches in our room twice but thats all but we did take repellent with us.

Food was good, great choice, you have to reserve the restaurants you want to go to by going in to a conference room at reception and the lady there does it over the computer and gives you a receipt with the date and time on it. some times there was a que for this which was the down side or go to the buffet which doesnt need a reservation and alot of choice.

We tried the karaoke disco a few nights, fully air conditioned and non smoking. was the coolest room in the whole hotel. Good music and open till 2.
The beach is the most beautiful thing we have ever seen so peaceful and the sand and sea is lovely, the water mathces the blue sky, and the water is warm. there is a man on the beach came over and asked us how many beds you needed and brought them to the exact spot you wanted. quite alot of crabs on the beach, we watched them digging holes. you can go on the pedallos and catemerrans for free on the beach aswell.

we did the dolphin trip, it was good worth the money, they are great, really clever. once you have swam with them you get out and go and watch a dolphin show, amazing and then a sea lion show, funny.

there is a full menu for cocktails which i lived off the whole fortnight, think i tried every cocktail on the list, they were all nice, my faves were varadero sunrise, mojito, bldy mary and screwdriver.
i have recommended this hotel to all my family and friends and we are thinking about going back next year with the family.
