  • Beach Thoughts:
    - It's one of the nicest beaches I've been to.
    - White sand beaches, and super clear water (could see it from the plane)
    - A nice stretch to walk on, and very calm.
    - ...one might say too calm, if you like playing in the rougher waves.
    Diamond Club Thoughts:
    - It probably wouldn't have been worth it if I didn't get it on sale
    - Butlers are assigned based on room location
    - When in 1st room 403, couldn't really get anything booked or get help
    - Room flooded due to drainage issue, I had to put a lot of effort to get it
    sorted myself (it wasted a good day and was quite unpleasant)
    - When we swapped to 208, she got everything booked almost instantly.
    - Experience can very quite a lot, and we only had 3 nights left to try.
    - The rooms for diamond club members are at the end of the resort, so plan on lots of walking (about 5-10 mins)
    - Free excursion included (either snorkelling or a round of golf), didn't know till 2nd butler mentioned it. (need to book early though)
    - Free wifi (that we had to continually logged back into, but worked fine)
    - I was unable to use room service as there's no real instructions/explanation when you get to the resort. (there's a number that's on their "login" page that you need to find - before it auto changes on you or possibly on the TV)
    - I went to the diamond club lounge where all the butlers were chilling, and I felt very unwelcomed.
    - I wouldn't waste money on it again (even on sale).
    Food Thoughts:
    - If you compared to Mexico, it's average.
    - I've been to a different resort, so I know this one is miles better then the usual Cuba resorts.
    - They actually have salt and pepper around, and most the food is seasoned well.

    Hello, my wife and I just spent a week at Royalton Hicacos . There were no shortages at this time.

    Hey Simon - looks like a wonderful trip. Wondering if you guys faced any shortages while on the resort ?! Water, food and electricity sort of thing. I'm thinking of planning a trip but I've been hearing mixed things about Cuba

      No shortage at our resort, but we really didn't wander outside of the resort.. it was more of a relax and laze type trip for us.
      I hope you have a wonderful time if you decide to go.
      Although I do recommend bringing some travel toilet paper.

    What were the inclusions for the diamond club?
    How much did you pay for diamond club?

      Thanks for checking out the video.
      You can find the info for the diamond club perks here: www.royaltonvaradero.com/diamond_club.asp (definitely didn't get everything listed though)
      I put my thoughts on it within the description if you are interested.
      I paid for it during a black friday deal approx $1800 USD (usually $3350 ish) but in terms of a regular vs diamond club room I can't quite remember the price difference (most likely a few hundred) It wasn't really worth it in my opinion though. (We didn't take full advantage of the free excursion and the Butlers were kind of hard to get a hold of or seemed like we were bothering them.)
      We had most our fun enjoying the beach and it was pretty quiet in the resort when we visited.
