Hotel Los Delfines

The staff provides exceptional service, making guests feel welcomed. The centrally located hotel offers comfortable rooms with great views. Guests enjoyed the variety of breakfast. Easy access to amenities.

Just like other reviews say. Older hotel, has its flaws, you have the basics, for the money flying from Toronto, you cant go wrong. Everything is within 20m from your room. Bar, restaurant, beach, pool. If you're traveling with picky people, dont go here, not worth your headache and complaining. People that work there are amazing, a tip goes a long way, we all work for money. Reynel is such a professional and kind bartender, ask him any drink or any coffee, and he knows how to make it, wife and i were testing him too, unreal haha. People in the hotel that come are usually older people, so getting people to play volleyball is a nightmare, but Osniel, Rudy just get the Geriatric people moving :) great and friendly guys. The DJ guy. I think his name is Emanuel, has a nice taste in music, i have Shazam-ed over 30 songs in a week heh. Plays lounge music in the morning while you have coffee(Thank you!) Food is good, if youre not too picky, youll be fine, Things to bring: Beach towel( so you dont depend on them) Extra hand towel Sweater(for cold nights, no heat in the rooms) LOTS of toys if you are going with kids. So many places where you can leave your child on beach and you have your "coffee" on terrace while overlooking them, this deserves a 5 stars itself. We gave ours away to local cuban kids after. - Hot sauce, different sauces, makes the food a 5 star hotel foods! - 1USD bills, 150$ for 2 weeks and you have excellent service everywhere, dont be cheap, and complain of bad service. You get what you pay for, you already have a good cheap all inclusive deal. Tip really well somebody within hotel, and ask him to exchange CAD/USD for Pesos for you at black market. Outside of hotel, pay in local pesos. Itll go long way, Massages in the hotel are dirt cheap, ends up being 19-20$/hr. Lady is experienced, its a relax massage, not chiropractor. Location is 5/5 4th time coming back at same hotel.

In spite of some of the reviews I saw online, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the accommodations, and NOT surprised by how friendly the staff is. (I have always found Cubans to be extremely friendly and helpful!) The food is… Cuban. It is foolish to expect “American“ food in a country that has so little. But there was lots of it and it was very tasty! As a professional horticulturist, I was impressed by the gardens as well although I get that might not be as special to everyone else lol. The beach is SPECTACULAR! I haven’t been snorkeling here yet, but I hope to soon! Full disclosure, it is an old building, with imperfections, most I expect from recent storms. Still, it’s in very good shape and everything works (air-conditioning, water, power. As someone who’s interested in wildlife, there seems to be a fair bit around and I hope to explore the local ecological reserve soon.
