Sol Río de Luna y Mares Resort

Garry Randall, CA, 2008-04-07
We were at the Mares side for one week starting March 27 2008. The weather was warm and the beach excellent. Always lots to eat and remember you are not home so the sausage will be different. Our room was always made as soon as we left for breakfast. We were amazed to see a swan on our bed made from our comforter wearing my girl friends hat when we returned one morning. The rooms are in good repair everthing in working order. The buffets were good and the alacarts seemed to be better on average than our last 2 visits. Even though on some occassions the bars seemed understaffed everyone is served with a smile. As I said this was our 3rd but not last visit. The Luna Mares has something that draws people back. Every person I spoke to plans to return as well. And the number one reason I hear is because of the Yuniors, Ivans, Francos, Vladimirs, Jose Antonios, Toneys,Williams etc who consistently go out of their way to treat us to the Cuban hospitality that Canadians are so privledged to enjoy. A job well done by all the staff.

Pour deux dames qui voyagent seule, la destination doit être sécuritaire. Et ce fut le cas! Un hôtel formidable et très propre, un service impécable. Les cubins sont des gens très bien et respectueux. Diane et moi nous avons passée une semaine formidable, rencontré des gens inoubliables même peut être des amis(ies) on ne sait jamais. On gardera contact ça c'est certain. La bouffe était très bien avec ses quatres restaurants dans l'hôtel mais il ne faut pas oublier que voyager c'est l'aventure et il faut avoir une largesse d'esprit à découvrir la cuisine Cubaine et bien d'autres. Alors mon amie et moi avons mangé a notre faim et très bien apart ça! La plage est merveilleuse à vous faire rêver.... le sable blanc et cette mer d'un bleu aqua...C'est magnifique.. Il n'y a pas de photo qui vous donne la vrai image de cette plage...La chambre bien que petite avec balcon sur la mer était quand même bien. et très propre. Le service de chambre est parfait. On avait amené des petits cadeaux a leurs remettre et on les a gatté toute la semaine. Notre chambre était sur le côté Mares que je préferrais. Lunas est bien aussi mais on était plus prêt de tout sur le côté Mares. Il y avait toutes sortes d'activités a l'intérieur de l'hotel près du bar on pouvait jouer du billard, ping pong. Cette établissement est vraiment pour faire plaisirs a tout âge, petits et grands. Ce fut pour moi un voyage que je n'oublierai jamais. Louise Roy Alexandria, Ont Canada

This was our first visit to cuba and also our first time all inclusive the hotel was very clean and the staff are very friendly there are plenty things to do like horse riding snorkling scuba diving etc most are free apart from scuba diving and ski diving.The entertainment team are there most of the day with activities for all the family and at night there is a theatre with a show on which is a must for the costumes and entertainment all though its only on for about 90 mins and after you can join in with the team to learn dancines and competions.
The food all buffet style breakfast is about the best evening meals we found the fish and meat ok but finding somthing to go with it was a bit cold the alcarte menus were ok though during the day you could get a snack from 2 of the snack bars pizza hot dogs burgers etc they also have a bbq on the beach once a week .
Near the hotel is a mini zoo which only cost a peso which has excotic birds snake and a croc but is right on the lagoon facing the dolphin aquarium where you can see pink flamingos and swans kingfishers in the wild .There are many taxis and horse and carts to get you out and about the near town has a daily market and a few shops to get your cigars and rum the hotel shops are over priced.
Take plenty of insect repellent with you as there are lots of mosquito i swear by Avons aftersun with insect repellent i and mosquito wipes we did not get bitten but there were lots a people that did especially your feet and legs so cover up and put plenty on.You can not much toliletries out there so dont be caught short especially personel items Ladies.
You dont need to take towels as they are provided and you can ghange them daily but even though they have a hairdryer if you have long hair i would take one leave your iron at home there was good they have a coffee machine in your room with milk and coffee and water left daily.
The local wine is very strong and the local beer is really nice
but if your on a budget and wont to make the trip to Havannah you need to take about extra £400 with you or your credit cards but not American ones i.e express capital one mbna they wont take them or scottish pounds.
Even though the two hotels where joined and the beach was very clean with plenty of beds i still felt there wasnt enough for us to do around and about if you want to just chill this would be great
if you like to stay 2 weeks around the hotel
Hope these comments have been usfull.
