Hotel Playa Costa Verde

“Welcome back to a place that is always warm, friendly, authentic, wonderful, and feels like home”

Always good to come back to Playa Costa Verde; this was our 11th time staying here. It feels like coming home, each time again. PCV is an older hotel for sure, but staff is doing their very best at updating and fixing whenever they have the supplies to do so. Rooms are dated but clean and tidy; beds are comfortable. Food is the best that Cuba has to offer; staff can not offer food that is not available to them. They offer guests the best that they have, so be thankful and enjoy whatever you find on the buffet. Do not complain about food, when you HAVE food. Unlike many of the cuban people outside of the resort; they do not always have food. The beach and ocean are fantastic; nice snorkeling at different areas in the bay. It's totally safe to go off the resort and experience the warm, authentic Cuban hospitality from the local people. Price of fuel is crazy high, which is reflected into the fares for a tour in one of the local classic Cuban taxi's; but it is absolutely worth the experience. (Roy in his 1931 Ford) You can get info on this at the hotel store. In order to enjoy your time at PCV, leave all your habits and expectations from home behind and start to embrace all of the warm, authentic Cuban customs. When you do, you will indeed find your home away from home.

“Five-Star Service with a Cuban Heart”

Excellent five-star hotel. Outstanding cordiality, attentive service, and a warm, family-like atmosphere from all the staff, always with a genuine desire to serve. Great taste in every detail. Delicious and authentic Cuban and Creole food. We had a wonderful time as a family. Highly recommended.

“Good, not great! Worth a try!”

For context: My Mom and I travelled to PCV (Jan. 14-21) as a trip to celebrate her recent 70th birthday and my 40th birthday. This was her 4th visit to PCV in 2 years and my first. I last travelled to Cuba in 2011, but go to Mexico every year with a close friend group and our families. I knew the amenities, food, etc here in Cuba would be different. Having realistic expectations is #1 when travelling to Cuba. We paid $1000 each. When you consider how much the airline takes + taxes and transportation, very little is left for the resort, and I think people forget to consider that. Beach: Gorgeous! Crystal clear water and very little seaweed, but it is the ocean after all so there is some. Lots of great snorkeling and a few different options for sailing and pedal boats. It was difficult to find loungers if you went after 10am. The beach is a bit of a walk from the resort and there are no washroom facilities. There is a bar but no food options, so keep that in mind. Pool: Very large, clean and lots of room to float around. There were a few recreation team activities during the day, but at least during our time, had very little participation. The swim up bar is good but the slush machine was out of order. Bring a reusable cup to void using paper cups. Grounds: Generally nice, but a lot of areas had large sections of tall grass that hadn’t been mowed. This didn’t affect our trip in anyway, but did give an overall “run down look” - as did multiple abandoned buildings. Rooms: We requested a room on the 2nd floor but couldn’t be accommodated. We arrived at 10pm and were taken to a first floor room in building # 25. It was dark, musty and sparks flew from the lightbulb in the lamp when I went to turn it on. There was also no patio furniture on the patio. The fridge did not work and was leaking water all over the floor. The next day, we were moved to a 2nd floor room in building 11 that was 1000 times better. Bright, clean and more updated. We had plenty of towels but the sheets were not changed. We didn’t ask for them to be, but just something to note. A handful of times the water pressure was off for flushing the toilet, but fixed within an hour. We had a few power outages that only lasted 5-10 seconds for less than 10 minutes. Staff: 98% of the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. We had a few issues with management/guest relations but overall the Cuban people are so lovely and appreciative. Food: This is SUCH a heated and much-divided area, but in my opinion, the food was slightly less than typical “Cuba”. The buffet was very repetitive and lacking. The only fruit we saw all week was pineapple and there was melon one day. The only veg were cucumbers and tomatoes. Plenty of pasta, rice, seafood and usually a chicken option as well. They didn’t always have butter, ketchup or salt and pepper, but we brought our own + peanut butter. The snack bar was our favourite. The chicken salad sandwich was great! The service can be VERY slow there, but I wasn’t in a rush to be anywhere! They did run out of fries one day, but restocked quickly. Pizza was good! We didn’t realize until the last day they offer breakfast as well 🤦🏻‍♀️ It looked good! They seemed to always have ketchup and mustard too at the snack bar. We didn’t try the al la cartes. In my experience, it’s usually but same as the buffets but I could be wrong. Overall, we had a great week for what we were looking for. For the price, the weather and the relaxation, it was perfect! I personally would return for the same price, but not more. I do prefer to be somewhere like Varadero where there is more to do and see off the resort, but that’s just a personal preference.
