Bring US $1 bills to tip!
Just got back from amazing one week at Kawama. After initial slight shock of how run down all resorts seemed to be (learned during our trip that after Covid the government took over most resorts, so general upkeep is minimal), we were very pleased even with our low cost room. AC was set to 17C so rooms were cold compared to 23C night and 30C day heat outdoors. Beds were some of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve slept in!
Food was very tasty although the same menu somewhat repeated itself daily (I heard this is the case at most resorts). Breakfast served until 10, lunch 12:30-2:30 and dinner 6:30-9pm, and a small snack at 11pm by the beach. Booking the a’la-carte was not successful. But we found a pizza place (Sangria’s) nearby to celebrate a birthday and would highly recommend that too.
Beach was beautiful as was the pool. Lots of chairs and umbrellas/ shade available.
Pool bar and restaurant had amazing staff. Cleaning staff was also great and kept our room inviting. Entertainment staff were also great. Front desk had various people so harder to make connections and get good service. Toilet paper was limited (if existed) in the poolside bathrooms, but the ones by the lobby and the restaurant had usually some.
I wish I had realized to bring more of our travel cash in $1.00 US bills. Credit cards aren’t used much even in restaurants in town but Canadian is accepted almost everywhere - change harder to get so expect to pay what bills you have. At the resort leaving $1 tip for services makes their day, but they only recognize CAD bills (even banks don’t take coins). So either bring USD for that or leave $5 CAD. We brought individually wrapped candies to hand out and they were very well received.
The resort only had about half of it in use. The rooms in the far side and the pool there as well were closed. But the main pool and the smaller pool with a slide were both open as were the rooms on Varadero end of the resort.
Evening entertainment was great as were the variety of activities offered throughout the day.
Definitely going back next time in Cuba.

Много пенсионеров, номера старые, переселили в другой номер, так как в старом не работал сейф и тв, но там не было евро розеток, в лобби баре вкусные соки и шустрый персонал, в ресторане мясо плохое, официанты работают хорошо, еда стандартная, но так себе. Я бы не поехал туда снова

Неоднозначно) территория большая, зеленая. Номера уставшие. Еда в первый день показалась неплохой, но с течением времени не менялась. Интернет платный. Но собственно все как в большинстве отелей Кубы. Океан крутой.

Отель имеет отличное расположение с огромной ухоженной зеленой территорией, бассейнами, ресторанами и барбекью зонами и для занятий спортом. У нас было питание «все включено», еда вполне вкусная, большой выбор мясных блюд, в баре напитки как алкогольные, так и безалкогольные на любой вкус. Выход к морю и собственный пляж прекрасные, мы полностью довольны. Из минусов очень старый номерной фонд, сантехника плохо работает, мебель уставшая, а также удивило то, что одеяло в номерах без пододеяльника! Но в целом доброжелательность персонажа и соотношение цена-качество считаю отличными!

이곳은 정말 낡았고 좀 싸구려 티가 난다 그러다고 싸지도않다
인터넷엔 6만원대 방ㅈ을 미끼로 올려놓고 들서가면 항상 품절이다
절대 속지마세요 여긴 늘 그래요 몇만원 더주고 좋은데 쓰세요 어찹기 싸니까 참고 이동네는 모기가 아마존 정글처럼 많아요 몸에 바르는거
뿌리는거 전자모기향 100 220v 둘다 필요 살충제 물린뒤 바르는 약
모두 있어야함 아주 중요한 겁니다
시설은 꽝

The facilities were good enough for what you pay. I should not complain about the food since given the circumstances they did their best to keep us fed at all times. In fact, they offered a large variety of meat and veggies, desserts, etc.
On the other hand, for heavy drinkers, this place should be an oasis since you can have access to all the alcohol you want at all times. My husband certainly loved that fact.
Regarding the entertainment, the first night with dance performers was good, however, the second one with singers was not. I think they should work harder on this issue. If you want a get away from Havana, this is definetely the place to stay.
A very relaxing,enjoyable spot for honey mooners or loners who simply want to have time on their own.

Eravamo in una stanza vista mare con un balcone grande e stanza grande. L'unica cosa che non abbiamo gradito è il cibo, ma da italiani siamo poco adattabili. Il menù era a buffet e c'era comunque una vasta scelta di alimenti. Se andate prendete la camera 804 la consiglio, mi sà che è la più bella che hanno. Grazie è stato un buon soggiorno
