Memories Jibacoa Resort

My fiancee and myself decided to book our one week vacation with the all inclusive, adult only Memories Jibacoa Resort boutique hotel in Cuba, and am I ever glad we did! What a lovely surprise it turned out to be from the time we arrived until the very day we left. Tucked into a small valley with hills surrounding, this well located resort is perfect if you are looking for peace, quiet, beach or pool time and wonderful food. The resort shuttle bus was waiting for us at the Varadero aiport and was a large, luxury bus that took approximately 50 minutes to get to the resort - a lovely opportunity to see the countryside. The service was amazing and everyone at the resort welcomed us with kindness from the front desk attendants to the waiters and waitresses. The resort itself is a bit dated, but they are trying to update and can not do enough for you. The entertainment at night was really wonderful, except the only thing I would like to mention is that the music was often TOO loud - too the point of being too much. Perhaps the music was too loud due to the need for technological advancements in their sound systems, but otherwise, the talent and the singers were incredible and engaging. As a yoga teacher, I wanted to check out the yoga, which is offered in the mornings at the gym. I had brought my own mat, and therefore didn't have to use them, as they were very worn out and quite used, but the class was lovely and gentle. I practiced on my own every morning at the Gazebo and before I knew it, I had a few friends joining me which was fun. The spa is amazing!!!! I had a pedicure and massage and again, they just couldn't do enough. What a beautiful spa to attend with every detail given to ensure a warm and inviting experience.

This is a lovely, quiet and well located resort if you want to visit Havana! The service was amazing and everyone at the resort welcomed us with so much warmth and kindness! We got an ocean view room and this was a great decision as I felt we had private beach access to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen! The interior of the room was a bit dated but it was not an issue since we were barely in the room anyways. The food was standard quality food for Cuba - we stuck to the hot foods which were omelette, pizza, and fries. There was pasta but it could have been a bit more flavourful. We also carried instant noodles with us and a portable kettle which was helpful. The evening program was really great - the band and the host of the music program were all so enthusiastic and lively! They truly love their work and you can tell the passion in which they perform and do their job!

Spent an amazing 4 days here recently, for an older resort everything was amazing, great staff and service, great food and beverages, no shortages noted, they upgraded us to oceanview great room everything worked. Nice location, smaller beach but great snorkeling, hike to the lookout was a nice little excursion. Isolated area but beautiful. Ala cartes were all good. Would return.
