Starfish Jibacoa (Villa Tropico) - Cuba
This hotel is located 56 km from Varadero and 84 km from Havana.
Very fast check-in. We are given the access card to our room which is also used to open the safe and we are given information on the restaurant schedule. The reception is open 24 hours.
We got room 4201 which is located in a 4 bedroom bungalow. We requested that it be located in a quiet location. It is therefore located at the end of the site which is also very large.
The exterior has not been renovated, but the interior is very decent. We requested a queen bed, but got two double beds. We only used one and the mattress was new and super comfortable.
The air conditioning works perfectly and hot water has always been available.
There is a mini fridge and a large bottle of water was provided every day by the maid and there are several storage spaces as well as a flat screen TV and a telephone.
In the bathroom, we find a hair dryer, two soaps but no shampoo.
We had a terrace with two chairs on which we had an aperitif every evening.
The current used in the room is 110 volts and there are several power outlets in the room.
We were pleasantly surprised by the diversity of the buffet as well as the abundance and quality of the food. The restaurant's chef is Italian.
In the morning, eggs are served in all forms: omelette, soft-boiled, sunny-side-up, turned, poached. There is also cheese, ham, toast, pancakes, French toast, several pastries as well as several other side dishes.
At lunchtime and/or in the evening, there is a grill, seafood and pasta station. There is a large selection of vegetables and different cheeses and cold meats are offered.
In the prepared dishes, there are always at least two choices of soup, rice as well as two choices of pasta as well as a paella.
The potatoes are offered mashed or roasted and the meat is present in all its forms and is very tender.
In addition to fresh fish, different seafood is served: lobsters, mussels, squid.
The very large selection of fresh juices, fresh fruits and desserts exceeded my expectations.
At no time did we run out of white or red wine at the buffet.
The service is also excellent.
There is also a snack bar near the pool, but we didn't go there. There is no a la carte restaurant.
There is a bar in the lobby open 24 hours as well as at the swimming pool (10 a.m. to 7 p.m.). The servers are efficient. The beer is flowing freely. However, the choice of cocktails is very limited and there were no coffee liqueurs or crème de menthe during our stay.
So I opted for the maraschino liqueur as well as the Triple sec orange liqueur! For an aperitif, I bought bottles of apple cider at the store for the ridiculous price of US$3 each.
Beach towels are left in our room upon arrival. There is a kiosk near the swimming pools where you can exchange them.
There are two swimming pools on site. They are located next to each other. One of them was under renovation when we arrived. However, on the day we left, the work was finalized and the filling was almost complete.
There are several lounge chairs and palapas around the pool as well as comfortable beds.
Plenty of chairs on this superb beach as well as several palapas. Many trees also provide shade.
The color of the sea is remarkable. The sea was a little rough the first days of our stay because it was very windy. However, it has become very calm again and perfect for beautiful snorkeling, directly from the shore.
There is a nautical center which offers non-motorized water sports such as kayaking, pedal boats, catamarans. Additionally, paragliding is also offered.
Shows are presented either near the lobby bar or in the performance hall. They are presented around 9:30 p.m. We only attended one show,
Transformers offered a superb musical show. The makeup and costumes were sensational
Wifi is offered free of charge.
Wide variety of equipment and strength training machines.
There is a store on site. The prices are very reasonable.
We have to vacate our room at noon. Beach towels must be left in the room or returned to reception if you wish to use them until your departure time.
