Brisas Del Caribe

Completely Disagree with Negative Reviews

Before my stay at del Caribe, I read many reviews, and a lot of them said how awful the resort was, which worried me quite a bit. After arriving, I found that for the most part they were all wrong. Maybe I just had low expectations.. but I didn't have a problem with the resort. Sure, the food isn't spectacular, but people need to realize that the rating of a hotel in Cuba is not the same as the rating the hotel would get in more developed countries. Factors such as this limit the kinda of food they can get, etc. Yes, the food was for the most part plain, but I never once went hungry during my week there. If the buffet gets old for you, they cook different dishes there each night, if you don't mind the line, and you can eat lunch at the beach, where they make really great hotdogs, or try the snackbar, I recommend the pizza, its very different from what I was used to, but very good. You could also try the restaurants, I preferred the Italian one.
Aside from that the beaches were beautiful, I suggest you go early in order to get a decent spot and chairs. They have vendors (not from the hotel) walking up and down the beach selling souvenirs, they were all pretty nice.
The rooms were nothing spectacular, mine had two single beds, with a tv and some tables and chairs. It was not very fancy, but when you're in Cuba, I feel like you shouldn't be spending very much time in your room anyway. I only really used it for sleeping and getting ready.
Personally, I enjoyed my stay here very much.. and I don't understand why so many people are writing negative reviews.

Unique Quality: Very friendly staff.
The ready-made breakfast included crepes everyday with your choice of fruit and sauce, I looked forward to eating them every morning!
The resort has two pools as well as the beach, and while the pool in the main part of the hotel was usually busy, the one in the other section near the snackbar often did not have many people around it.
There were also nightly shows, including a dance company who preformed almost every night, as well as in the lobby of the hotel beforehand, where they would talk to the guests, and encourage them to dance with them, it was a lot of fun, and the dancers were very friendly. Other nights there was a magic show. Afterwards the area where the dancers preformed turned into a dance itself, but I never really stayed for that.
