The criticism of some other guests i can't understand. Sometimes i think i was in another hotel.
By the low (maximally 4 floors) construction-shaped is the main building between the palms hardly to see.
The house is not new, but for cuban standards (we had a tour of Cuba with miserable hotels)
Super.
The rooms clean and tidy and everything worked.
The service staff all very nice and attentive. If you address you friendly, no matter in english or a few words in spanish one gets everything will be charged even without giving any tip.
The majority of the guests ... came from Argentina and Chile. Some from Canada and very few from Russia and Germany. read more

Mass processing - partially trinkgeldsüchtig

We were after a week Cuba-round trip still 2 weeks in the sol palmeras and are following criticisms follow or complement: tips as exorbitant additional costs! We have it partly directly as pure rip-off was felt. - the 'mass processing', partially probably because of the size of the hotel did not please us. –
The food was although it is very varied, but for us it was not a 'taste experience' still were the dishes nicely arranged. - besides often only lukewarm. From a 4 star hotel, we are there completely different stayed. Fom the theme restaurants we have three ... visited. We were both from the chinese, as well as the steakhouse very dissapointed. With the chinese we not taste good at all, and the steakhouse was the steak thin, tough and tasteless-the italian restaurant was a ray of hope the food was surprisingly good and it was very stylish, - the premises were very well maintained and the atmosphere excellent. - the fish restaurant we didn't visit.
To the drinks: at the bars there were a great variety alcoholic drinks, also to cocktails. We noticed, that spanish speaking guests preferred were served. As it is very often happened, that you in a queue and a newly joining spanish speaking guest was first served!
With our room on the 1. floor in the main building we were the location, the size and the furniture was good-it was the penultimate at the end the blocks and had a view of the palm trees and the pool. – every day it was cleaned and if necessary also there was always fresh bath - or towels. Some drawbacks concerning cleanliness were not so serious, as we here complain therto. Fom the neighboring rooms we have heard nothing-but the deafening loud music in all areas (also pool area, beach and the events) very disturbed. – only at night starting from about 2 hours until 10 in the morning hours it was quiet!
The beach was beautiful, - it was cleaned every morning. Loungers were both by the pool like also at the beach many, - unfortunately were already in the morning very early in the morning the 'loungers beleger' on the way. – we have therefore often in the beach area no chairs find it anymore.
Excursions we have the travel guide -since everything in state hands, there was no other possibility, which we regretted very much. – the excursions were well organized but also here mass processing and trinkgeldmäßig must of course also everything to be served!
To sum up, we can the criticisms and be not stay at this hotel again and also not recommend! read more

In the spacious lobby you in a friendly way, the check in in a few minutes, but we found the daily loud live music from 18 hours unpleasant. We had one of the 200 bungalows and were round around content, very clean and for our standards more than adequate. In the hotel were i guess all ages and nationalities. It is at least. No bad noticed!

Mass processing and bad service

The hotel is in a rather outdated state. Large area with beautiful foliage. Very long distances in the entire property. (distance our bungalow/main building about 1 kilometer). Very lots of russians in the hotel, the all inclusive very seriously and also everywhere and noisy celebrations. Service and staff we can unfortunately only with grade 6 rate. That was mass processing, hardly anyone was for the individual guests and without a tip only very rarely moves. 'sonderwünsche' could never be realized. On the contrary, here one was partly correctly 'weak' addressed. This is really justified, i was on vacation ill and ... on a support from the hotel rely on. Unfortunately none of my special requests for example exceptionally food supplied to get, to be implemented. read more

Tips as exorbitant additional costs

Actually all inclusive - hotel. So after shopping options to neglect. Quality and variety the food was gigantic. Theme restaurants the ambience very nice, but widely varying quality of the dishes: seafood and italian very good, the rest... Absolutely annoying: everything stands and falls with the giving tip. All the staff, from the maids to the badehandtuchwechsler, the bar staff to frühstückseierbäcker expect tip. Without cuc's the practicalness never from. All inclusive is so slippery to forget! Trinkgeldmäßig must everything be served-and of course every time. read more

I have prior to here on holiday check about this hotel informed and the positive impressions which the eating and drinking regards not confirm or understand.
We have all restaurants which one prior to must book try. The chinese and the italian restaurant were ok, the steakhouse and mexican restaurant, underground.
Also the main restaurant had always a large selection of different dishes, also grills, unfortunately but mostly bad, tough quality of meat or staff which it wrong prepared or, niedergebraten has. The bottom line, for us it was unfortunately no 'taste experience' as you go on vacation would wish ... for.
The drinks are but unfortunately the disappointing:
The beer subject to serious chargenschwankungen, exactly like the orange juice in the morning for breakfast!
The wine red and white was not for us drinkable, we remedied in the us in the restaurant flascheinweine bought and d the beer we from the supermarket in/out privileges.
Our room was on the 1. floor and as you from other reviews can read, i can confirm, that one the neighbours the next 6-8 rooms with the coming home in the evening hear very clearly and the doors unfortunately always were slammed as this all terminals. This didn't bother us, as i many a time later came home.
We always 2 cuc the maids (jani) and it was always ip top cleaned and clean.
The rooms are unfortunately very old and the door frame in the bathroom was by the water which it bath tub sprayed abgefault.
Our summary:
The staff made only the impression to be nice if one 1-2 cuc jump left, really. For example beach bar, eisverkäuferin, hamburgerbräterin in beach bar and so on. As you get your money!-)
The lack of interest the most fully experienced and don't even try to hide.
Of course, there are exceptions, but unfortunately only a few.
Also the hotel is too large and impersonal. The food bad mit long waiting periods and simple again and again a reason itself either to annoy or head to shake.
Although the beach wonderful was the whole concept and the value for money in any shape zusammegepasst and therefore we will not stay at this hotel again and it not recommend! read more

Everyone has other expectations at your vacation. There are the wide range of people to a certain time at the same place. We had a great time in 2 bungalows. We will be next return. The food was alternating and the people cooperative. Perhaps some should only in countries whose language they speak. It depends, as one on someone to go. read more

Dream vacation in the very good hotel with dream beach. Recommendation 100%!
For our vacation i here about the hotel informed. I had more often read, that the rooms and the food not so great should be. I cannot disagree with only. Had a double room on the 4. floor in the main building. The was perfect. Of other vacation guests there were however negative reports on the standard bungalows. However offers you (if you complained ) a room in the main building at, what the guests then also satisfied What the food in the subject, i can't complain. There ... is a main restaurant and 5 topics restaurants where you to register food. In the main restaurant the selection was large, furthermore there are 4 (grill) stations, the a the food directly in front of the own eyes making facilities. I can only recommend. Delicious! What the theme restaurants subject: we were in steckhaus (good) and mexican (very good) food.
The hotel complex is with its main building and the bungalow complex almost a small village, by which constantly a small small railroad goes for the guests from a to b to send. Very good.
Of course lots of guests there. You can however your peace have. Depending on how you want to. You can count on 100% and in the middle in it. Or you do your own thing and remain anonymous.
Pool is very beautifully built. Unfortunately we didn't only time.
Sea and beach are gigantic, va the many palm trees make the Carribean like perfect. Tip: a strandsparziergang in every direction is worthwhile!
Excursions many offered. We have a trip to Havanna to 6 included driver and tour operator in a classic cars made. The was perfect. The trip will be itself as' mass tourism ' in the bus fom the tour operators offered. Explicitly the oldtimer tour (if necessary also front desk) questions. Costs 200 cuc for all persons. The trip to bus costs 100 cuc per person. So if you to 4 in the classic cars is one drives a lot cheaper and more fun!
With the tour operator we did the tour to the Cayo Blanco island with catamaran included snorkeling and delfinstreicheln booked. Was a great great trip! In any case make! Against a small tip let us the delfiontrainer with dolphin swimming, what my absolute dream was. Dauergrinsen guaranteed \u263a
What tips concerns. The are gladly seen. It is but also without. However you should always in the back of their minds, that Cuba really a very poor country. You buy you in Germany so many things and give so fast money, you can quiet times which jump. We live at least in luxury.
Charwomen prefer. The bulk of the work and the worst paid. They thank you most! Which super good arrives. Small soaps or lighter give away. At the best ones in Havanna. There are enough people to the beg!
Cuba is in any case worth a trip! And in the Hotel Sol palmeras, this Karibik dream the more effortless. read more

I can partly most people here not understand. I do not know, why most people so crab and the cleanliness, food, room, area, etc. So complain. The hotel is already a bit old and for certain things already in need of renovation, but that is why it is not just bad or not recommendable. You can directly in front of the booking information. If you don't do this, is your own fault. Definitely we were always thrilled by this hotel. We have also, of course, our demands, but the standard in Cuba not with the standard in Austria or Germany ... compare. For Cuba is this hotel anyway already luxury, at all in comparison to other hotels, which we regarded. I was quite surprised on the cleanliness and cleanliness of the hotel. No matter where you went, there was always somewhere a cleaning staff saw, either the soil wiped, window deseamed or tables wiped. It were many canadians and british, at 3. body came german and a few austrian. However one saw the people all not more than one or twice, since you are in the large hotel far apart was. The service at the hotel was very mixed, the average age was 25-35 years. But auchviele older guests could convince oneself. read more

We could a nice & pleasant holiday. The walls the room however, they are very thin, you can hear the guests at night, if you 'come home' & the quite loud, but however the hotel nothing. The food has we personally didn't like the food, no seasoning-nothing. Perhaps it is the but also, because many nationalities there meet and not all of them have the same season, i didn't know what. The staff are friendly & courteous (even more, if one daily something 'toll' paid \u263a. The hotel/the rooms are daily perfectly cleaned-without criticism. You should 4 stars in Cuba ..., not 4 stars in Europa compare, that is clear. But the cubans were constantly at work, quite no matter wether lawn care, wall plug up, floor scrubbing-they try everything around the hotel in shot to be held.
Conclusion: i should again to Cuba fly, i would have not a problem me again in this hotel contradiction. read more

Can recommend this hotel.
With gently sloping sandy beach as a beach holiday suitable and recommendable also with children.
Food was good and the people, that about the food complaints should in Germany have a vacation or 6 star hotel.
Staff were everywhere very friendly. Hand/bath towels were changed every day and the rooms were cleaned daily.
Our guide Alfredo (hr. Jose Alfredo fernandez) from its-travel speaks good german and is very competent, gave us good advice on behaviour and excursions available. Also up to the takeoff companioning.
In the hotel can circa 20% from the staff german, speak otherwise ... spanish and english.
Also wanted to here me with its travel thanks, since the service simply good. read more

The hotel has approximately 600 rooms was center november very fully booked if not quite full. We stayed in a bungalow which very clean was, condition is for cuban standards alright a rennovation would be of advantage however. Wireless internet does not exist, internet access on several computers nearby the reception possible, is however very slow and not cheap. It is young, medium as well as some older guests. Hardly swiss guests. Many germans & russians. Partly british, italian and french. read more

It was a really great vacation where nothing was missing.
To meals finds to each something. There is a wide selection. Next to the rich (however often only lukewarm) buffet there was also freshly prepared pasta, meat and fish. To the variety with reservation (2 days in advance ) in one of the à la carte restaurant eat. The fish restaurant el marino is very recommendable. The steakhouse, as well as the italian are average. Besides there is still a mexican restaurant and a chinese the we however not visited.
We had a room in the main house booked, at ... the check-in was a bungalow allocated. We were not right on the hotel, but had about 5 minutes walk, but the large and the equipment of the bungalows made up. Every day fresh towels and a bottle of water belonged to. The cleaning ladies were grateful to have a small tip. Can but also on pens, blocks, shower gel and so on the maid gave us a letter, whether we are not our sun screen leave out may. These are very expensive and it would be pleased.
The beach was always clean and everyone has a space with couch and sun screen found. The 'main' was mostly loud music and it has often entertainment program offered. If you don't want to as we and your peace to have wanted, had only a few meters continue. There was less going on there and it was quiet.
Excursions were directly from the tour operator offered. With this you will learn a lot about the country and people know. This are very recommendable and reasonably priced reasonable. read more
