This was our first time in Cuba and my wife and I were looking for one week of relaxation and not much exploration. In that sense, the resort met some of our expectations and not others.
So here is the break-down of our experiences from best to worst: We were told prior to our trip not to expect much from the buffet, but the resort did a good job of providing a wide variety of foods during the three meals.
Also, the italian restaurant provided an exquisite thin crust pizza for lunch! The cuban restaurant was also pretty good. Every day there was something different, and we were especially impressed with the quartet that played classical music during supper, the opera singers and the acrobat show. There was no shortage of "shake, shake it baby" and "aqua gym time". Pool volleyball was a lot of fun. Also, the beds were very uncomfortable, and if you don't have insect repelent, the musquitos will make sure you stay up all night.
We counted at least 10 "couples" were the male was an old white man and the partner was a young cuban girl not even sure if all are were above 18!! At the beginning we were not sure if this was one or two cases, but when new "couples" appeared every day we were sure something was going on.
This was our 8th trip to Cuba but our first to Holguin. We stayed at the PCV from April 23 to The staff at the reception was friendly and very efficient.
