Melia Trinidad Peninsula

First time in this beautiful hotel , we were blessed with the service beginning with the Level Front Desk, the manager that was always checking that everything runs perfectly, and that we were having an unforgettable experience. Lisandra, Dainelis, Heidi, Norberto, just to mention a few names that I can recall but the entire team were fabulous and they should all be recognized for their day to day effort, hard work and dedication to provide an iconic service experience. We will definitely come back soon. This team made our vacation time amazing. Thank you for welcoming us with open arms. Thank you for making sure we had a great birthday celebration and making our dreams come true!

We just wrapped up a week at Melia Trinidad in January 2025. For years I have avoided Cuba as a destination after hearing different complaints. Melia Trinidad strives to be a 5 start resort. I’d say they’ve met there mark. Staff - plentiful, all well dresses and well kept uniforms. Always seen cleaning and attentive to guests Resort - resort is expansive and modern. No power issues or water issues. If anything there is too much water pressure. Grounds are well kept. Pools are everywhere and are the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Some prior reviews mentioned insects like mosquitoes but during our week we only encountered a handful. Lots of chairs at the beach and if you wanted a cabana you will easily get one. Food - I was prepared for this. I’m a picky eater but I saw nothing but people walking around with plates of food. Butter is the only thing that I only saw once, in fairness I never asked for it. Lots of seafood, with shrimp daily and all you can eat lobster one day. Lots of cool to order beef, pork and fish. Beach - it’s rocky but there are cleared sections and excellent snorkeling opportunities. That said there must be a couple thousand feet of pool front around the resort, so ultra safe swimming opportunities exist where you literally have the pool all to yourself. Would I come back? A resounding yes. I don’t think you can beat the value here. Cons/negatives - whoever runs the bank at the resort pays half of what you pay to exchange to pesos in town. 20 cdn was 1620 pesos. Town official rate was 20 cdn to 3700 pesos. Better off to break your cdn into coin for tipping with your server. Some hand sanitizer stations at the buffet would help as well.

This is our first time to the Melia Trinidad Peninsula resort, and it won't be our last! The hotel is stunning, grounds beautifully kept, the food is great and the service is excellent! We've really enjoyed the attentive and professional service of Manzano in the Daquiri cocktail bar and "Lili" every time we go to the buffet. Manzano makes the best dirty martinis and lemon daiquiri! He's a must to spend time with. While Lili has made our late nights drinking and dancing much more tolerable with her patience and kindness, always making sure our coffees are hot and filled to the brim! The beach is stunning. However, theres a lot of rocks. As everyone knows, Cuban beaches are lovely with the turquoise blue sea and white sand, but here, what you lose in sand quality, you gain in a picture-perfect view of mountains in the distance. Bring water shoes and a snorkel set if you have one because there are a number of exotic fish species by the large rocks just off the shoreline. Plus the water is fairly shallow.

We enjoyed our week here and especially the quality of the food. There were many options for places to sit and relax while having a drink or watching the sunset. Being newer, this resort is likely a work in progress as changes were being made during our stay. It is modern and as a result, we felt it lacked colour, character and the Cuban vibe. The nearness to Trinidad town is definitely a bonus we enjoyed. The view of the Escambray mountains from our room and the beach was beautiful. Hola to Yvan!

My stay was excellent from start to finish. It was nice in the night a beautiful to behold in the day. The staff was very helpful with everything. The food was awesome. I can’t wait to return to your beautiful resort.
