Paradisus Rio De Oro Hotel and Spa Review 2011
The Paradisus Rio de Oro Resort has 5 bars to choose from, including a lobby bar, a piano bar and a beach bar. The two lagoon swimming pools curve around the ample sun terrace, joining at the swim-up bar where you can cool down with a particularly good cocktail. There are a huge number of activities included in the all inclusive package. There are catamarans, windsurfing and introductory scuba lessons in the swimming pool. For those confident enough, you can scuba dive in the sea for a local charge – it’s well worth taking some banana or bread to lure in the colourful tropical fish. There are tennis courts which are lit at night and lots of other sports to get involved in. The hotel also has a spa for some rest and relaxation, although not part of the all inclusive package. Wellness packages are available for massages, facials and manicures.
The buffet restaurant is fantastic serving freshly cooked meat, seafood, cheeses, fruit and superb deserts that other buffets don’t even come close to. Reservations can be made at the a la carte restaurants, Japanese, Gourmet, Mediterranean and Creole. Each restaurant is beautifully furnished and décor is top quality. The show tables in the Japanese restaurant really are something to entertain, as well as satisfy your hunger! For those wanting something outside of meal hours, a snack bar serving hot and cold food and a poolside barbecue is available during the day.
Nightly entertainment includes live music, water ballet and many more elegant shows. The music bar is the ideal place for dancing and karaoke into the small hours.
Accommodation is split over two areas: Standard and Royal Service. Standard rooms are more than comfortable, with a balcony or terrace, air conditioning, satellite TV, CD player, radio, telephone, coffee maker, safe, bathrobes and hairdryer. The Royal Service accommodation not only provides upgraded amenities, but opens up some exclusive extras such as a welcome cocktail on arrival, butler service, turndown service, dining at the exclusive Los Helelchos restaurant, exclusive bar and pool, and a free massage or hydrothermal circuit in the spa ideal for the luxurious honeymoon you have always dreamed of.
The Paradisus was awarded the ‘Best for Romance’ award in the 2008 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards and is rated as the best hotel in Guardalavaca. It is easy to see why. The impressive style of the lobby includes water features and inspired artwork whilst the grounds are immaculate yet still retaining an element of ‘wildness’.
The Paradisus Rio de Oro is the ideal getaway for couples and honeymooners, guaranteed to stay in your memory and heart for years to come!

“We travelled out in May 2011 for our first holiday to Cuba, and I certainly don’t hope it will be our last!. The Paradisis Rio de Oro is an amazing place, a quiet resort, no riff raff, most people were over 35. The gardens are beautifully kept, oh my god do those gardeners work hard in the heat ! Wonderful beach with always plenty of sun loungers – definite highlight is snorkelling in the warm water. Nice big room and great powerful shower. Can’t fault the food and you hear some horror stories about the food in Cuba… Not the case here – excellent buffet and the A la cartes, but I’m a big buffet fan so we stuck there most of the time.”
