We are leaving tomorrow but wanted to say what a wonderful experience we had at the Melià Buena Vista! The personnel is welcoming and always there for you. Special mention to Anderson Cole and Navi for the aqua fitness and entertainment, but especially for the special attention received during an evening sunset!!! 🫶🏻 Very touching and most memorable moment ♥️♥️♥️ What a fabulous evening we had! Enrique on the beach is very attentive and always ready to take you snorkelling in the best places just in front of the resort. Yvan, David and all who work at the pool bar and grill always ensure you have everything you need to enjoy yourself and have a good time. Thank you also to André, Emily, José, Oro, Jésus, and the many others who work at the Lobby Bar and Restaurants for the attentive service and smiles! Lianny, our lovely maid, was very efficient in her work, everything was always clean and we had everything we needed. Thank you all for making our Cuban vacation so agreeable ♥️

Devoted and attentive personnel!

After some research, as a solo female traveler I chose this resort I was looking for a place where I could feel comfortable, safe and get some serious R&R… and celebrate my birthday. This hotel exceeded my expectations.

I was a little worried I would be the only solo traveler and be surrounded by honeymooners and really be on my own. Turned out I was the only solo traveler at the resort during that time, the staff and other guests were incredibly friendly, I never felt not included. I had plenty "me" time to recuperate but also plenty of conversation and company.

My Butlers, Sergio and Lily were very helpful, attentive and discreet with anything I needed. Sergio even called ahead to inform the Catamaran crew of my birthday, to ensure they were aware and as such, made my day extra special. Thank you, Sergio.  

Lester, Yaikel and David - thank you for making my pool bar drinks and always ensuring my glass was replenished.
 
Leydi, Anais, Luis and Mike…. made the best morning cappuccino’s and awesome drinks in the evening. You all do an incredible job!

Dayron…. I had the pleasures of having daily chats with this young man. He is incredibly polite, informative and kind. His customer service skills are top notch, and speaks great English. I hope to see him on my next visit.

Livan…. such an amazing and caring soul.  He always went out of his way to take good care of me at the snorkel beach.  

Last but not least, I saved the best part of my vacation for last. Andrenxonc Coll and his team were the highlight of my vacation.
 
Andrenxonc’s remarkable skills lies in uniting guests, planning dance sessions, water volleyball and creating memorable gatherings at the sunset and evening performances.  Thanks to his abilities, I not only enjoyed these activities but also formed connections with fellow guests, fostering friendships that extend beyond my stay.  His talent goes beyond entertainment; it becomes a catalyst for building a sense of camaraderie among those sharing the resort experience.  His unique ability to bring people together adds an extra layer of joy and connection, making my time at the resort truly unforgettable.  

As a result I will definitely be back for a rematch with Team “ Catastrophic”

Thank you for the great memories.

I will return....

This resort was just what we were looking for.   It was clean and quiet with the most beautiful beaches.   The staff however are the reason we are coming back.  They are kind attentive and just want to make your stay an amazing experience.   Andrexon would greet us each day with a smile and his energy was infectious.   He always started our day off right.  The pool and lobby bar staff were also eager to please and were very kind and polite.  We are definitely coming back.

Quiet Gem with amazing staff

This hotel is a beautiful, tropical paradise with great views overlooking the well-maintained beaches. The staff were very helpful, always smiling and eager to please the guests. Entertainment with Andrenxon Coll was a blast every day with many fun activities by the pool. Special thanks to Lily and Daymi our butlers who made our stay extra special. The food was excellent every day and the portion sizes were adequately filling. I would very much recommend staying at this wonderful hotel.

A tropical paradise

We have visited MBV many times and it never disappoints. The main reason we keep coming back is because of the wonderful people that work at this resort and the incredible beaches!

Lily & Daymi - our butlers. Thank you so much for taking such great care of us. Thank you for making me feel so special on my birthday! 

Lester, Yaikel and David - thank you for making great drinks at the pool bar and always keeping our glasses full! They are always there if you need anything.

Navi & Andrenxon Coll thank you for keeping us entertained. We had the best time learning how to dance with Andrenxon, he is a wonderful teacher. Best animation team!!

Leydi, Anais, Luis and Mike at the lobby bar thank you for the great cappuccino’s in the morning and awesome drinks in the evening as we watch the entertainment. You all do an amazing job!

We love all 3 beaches at this resort. It was a little wavy in the middle beach this time but when it is calm that is the best beach for snorkelling. Sunset beach is very calm and we brought our inflatable kayak and enjoyed going out there for a paddle along the shore. 

Thank you to the amazing staff for making us feel so welcomed and making our trip to Cuba the absolute best! We always have a fantastic time at this resort and we can’t wait to come back again to see everyone! I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation spot. Thanks for all the great memories.

The best staff and amazing beaches!

Our stay at the Buenavista hotel has been something wonderful and unforgettable.The room and bathroom are very spacious and with all the amenities and a careful decoration.It has 3 private beaches that make you feel like paradise.The hotel staff are always attentive to the needs of the guests, highlighting especially the animation team that make the stay very special: Ernesto with his taichi classes and the wonderful ecological walks, Navy with his yoga classes and aquagym and highlighting a Sino Collison, with which you not only learn to dance salsa instantly that its treatment, kindness, closeness and education provide a plus to the hotel.It is the link between the hues, thanks to the opportunity to share the pleasant and multicultural experiences that have been made possible in our hotel with the different nationalities of the other hotels.

A hotel in the paradise

The hotel is magnificent, although a little old, but the recent hurricane that hit the area has only made it easy. The staff is incredible, a huge thank you to Navi, friendly and very forward-looking. The three beaches with their atmosphere each give all their charm to the hotel. The rooms are large and magnificent. The few activities during the day and evening are good bills and it is possible to enjoy a quiet stay. Don't expect an All Day Party.

It's a great stay.

When I think about my stay at the Melia Buenavista, I think about how much fun it was to spend time by the beautiful main pool, enjoy strawberry slush, read a book or engage in the fitness activities. Specifically, I absolutely loved the salsa classes everyday at 4pm taught by Andrenxon Coll Rodriguez. He is such an upbeat, positive and professional personality.  I had so much fun learning how to salsa, cha cha, bachata and meringue. It was awesome to see the class size growing day by day as the week progressed. By the end of the week, everyone who was previously relaxing by the poolside was up and learning the salsa or trying out the aqua gym.  Additionally Andrenxon led the entertainment every night at the lobby bar. Again he was pulling guests to get up and dance, and really lifted the energy every night. I hope that he will be teaching salsa when I return because the classes are so fun and I truly learned so much. Thank you Andrenxon and Melia Buenavista for such a memorable stay. I will definitely be continuing my lessons back home in Canada.

Fun in the Sun!

Excellent hotel/resort. We had a great time. The staff is very friendly, affectionate and always smiling. Always at your disposal. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The beach is spectacular, at best. The swimming pools are also. The manager of the Moad hotel, is a very close person, who cares about his clients. Thank you very much for everything, we will repeat and we will see each other in the not too distant future. :)

A fabulous stay in Meliá Buenavista

This was by far beyond any expectation. We had the time of our lives. The hotel is insane as well as the beach. 
Everything was just perfect thanks to the GM, Mr. Moad who made our stay unforgettable. 
We will definitely be back again and will definitely recommend this place to our friends. 
A true jam!
