Starfish Jibacoa (villa Tropico)

Fabulous resort. Every single staff member was friendly, happy to help all with a broad smile on their faces. The resort is old and there were signs it was being refurbished/updated. The Bungalow I stayed in was clean, the shower was great but the bed! That was wonderfully comfortable. I slept so well there. Great snorkeling, the sea was so clear and warm it was stunning. The 2 pools were great. If you want a drink at the pool bar you need to take your own water bottle, most people had their insulated bottles to keep their drinks cold. I can't praise the staff enough, they were very welcoming, they remembered your name and what you like to drink. There was always an Ola and a wave from someone wherever you walked in the grounds. I'm already planning my next visit. If you want an English 4 or 5 star food go next door to Memories. If you want real Cuban experience within a small friendly (more like family) with pool staff yo entertain the kids and adults, Cameleon (Gran Caribe Tropico) is for you.

Best resort in 20+years visiting Cuba! The Staff are amazing! Food was great! The selection was awesome and the drinks even better! We spent a month here and the first time I can honestly say I wasn't ready to leave

I love this place! I stayed here twice. First time I stayed for 2 weeks, next time I stayed 9 days. It's a wonderful little hotel, with ok food, and cats running around everywhere! There is access to the beach and pool. You can also go snorkeling in the coral reef, and petal boats. There is a bar at the pool, in the lobby, and a small patio near the back enterance. I recommend coming here if you're looking for a small, getaway adventure. It's also just an hour away from Havana, so that's pretty convinient.

We stayed here for 9 days... I would actually give this a little higher review, 3.7 ..The hotel and building are somewhat dated and a little run down but always very clean. The layout, the place the quaint little hammock chairs and hide aways are beautiful, the beach and reef, snorkeling awesome...food was So So ,, but always plenty, Alcohol and bar good.. The Staff are all 5 stars... There was plenty of updating going on while we were there, from what I understand it is under new management, I wouldn't be surprised if this rating is at least 4 star when they are done.

Wonderful little resort. A hidden gem. 100 bungalows. Some rooms being renovated. Great scuba diving. Food was very good and staff wonderful. We were there for 2 weeks and most people we have met have been there 4 or 5 times.
