A Review of the Memories Resort at Trinidad Del Mar,Trinidad, Cuba

Entrance to the Memories Resort at Trinidad Del Mar, Cuba



While in Cuba, we stayed in a beautiful resort in the southern part of the island.


The resort is located minutes to a large lake from the front of the building with a beautiful beach at the back facing an ocean.





We love walking and spending time on the beach of the Memories Resort


A spacious and comfortable lobby



















Guests enjoy hanging out in the spacious open lobby.




With comfortable seating, guests can wait for their tour bus or use the resort's wifi to check their emails.




We checked emails at the lobby


















Along the resort's main corridor, there are lounge chairs dangling from the ceiling.















There are abundant beautiful places at the resort for relaxing and napping.







These wonderful quiet places beckon guests to pause and take it easy there.












This a  big resort with a lot of space for various activities.







In addition to a spectacular white sand beach, guests can enjoy sunbathing and splashing in a good size swimming pool flanked by some beautiful outdoor daybeds and lounge chairs.










Most of the resort hotels are 2-3 story high with easy access to amenities at the resort.

Each room comes with a balcony and a couple of patio chairs should guests choose to relax in their own room.


A few things we have enjoyed tremendously at the resort:

Dining Room of the Memories Resort






a. Our daily meals at the resort's  dining room.
















We love the abundant fresh tropical fruits and enjoy both the amazingly fresh fruits and juices at every meal.




The dining staff has tried hard to please our palates.
















We enjoyed the fresh coconut water straight from the fruit!



There has been something different on many days served to the guests.

We loved drinking coconut water freshly coming out of coconuts prepared right in front of us one evening!

There was no extra charge for that!




Donuts freshly prepared and hung on a donut board for breakfast!


A couple of days, we were  surprised to see a donut board full of different kinds of donuts and bagels for breakfast!

How Canadian was that!










Daily dance lessons at the resort

b. The daily free Spanish and dancing lessons offered at the resort.

Claudia, our instructor has been patient and kind helping us to build our Spanish and dancing skills.















c. The nightly evening free entertainment after dinner.
















We went almost every evening except for a couple when we were exhausted from our excursions.















We enjoyed the variety of the shows
presented to us each night.













These performances have included comedies, classical and pop singing as well as some fantastic footwork in both modern and Spanish dancing.











d. A wonderful friendly staff - everyone is friendly and provides good service to resort guests.







The Memories Trinidad Del Mar - one of the most beautiful resorts in this area of Cuba

We stayed at this building at Trinidad Del Mar
e. A marvelous comfortable bedroom and a well lit resort

Memories is a marvelous resort; some guest told us that it is one of the most beautiful resorts in Cuba. We agree!












Our bedroom - spacious and comfortable.














A different towel sculpture sat on our bed after daily housekeeping 



We also appreciated the entire resort being well lit at night so that we felt safe walking around on well lit paths.












However, there were a couple of  issues. They were:







- there was a lack of  hot water in the guest rooms during the first couple of days of our stay

- difficulty of buying wifi access cards at the resort for the first few days










Other than the above, we loved every minute of our stay and have enjoyed our vacation at the Memories Trinidad Del Mar resort!








 We enjoyed our stay at this Cuban resort





For guests who like to explore the city scene on their own, there is a public bus that goes to the city of Trinidad for 5 CUC ( about Canadian $ 7.00) for a return trip.
So guests can head to the city should they wish to get away from the resort.


We would return to the Memories Trinidad Del Mar resort should we visit the same region in Cuba in the future. I would recommend this place.
