World Travel&Hotel Guide

The Riu Turquesa is a smaller resort with about 200 room or so. This resort was for sure a 4 star resort, with one resturant and one snack bar. It would not take much to turn this resort into a 5. We were there for one week in March. To get the negatives out of the way first; the rooms need up dating. The matteres was old. The food was good for the first couple days then it was time for a change, but i guess thats what you get at a smaller resort in Cuba. There were many little things that I noticed that should have been taken care of, such as the water in our room was not being changed everyday along with the towels. The best way for me to describe the Riu Turquesa is that it needs up dated bad. The good things was the service and the people at this resort were nice and on their toes, willing to do anything for you. The drink menu was great lots to choose from! Best of all was the beach. We took a walk down the beach in both directions and the Riu Turquesea had the nices one we seen. With plenty of shaded areas. Our tourguide was great and could speek excellent english. If you are looking to get away to a quite spot with a beautiful beach this is the resort for you. One tip that I do have for anyone who will be visiting this resort is to bring a pillow from home. trust me, the ones at the resort are hard and flat. Also be sure to tip you maid and waterboy, then you should receive good service. Also if you have extra room in you suitcase the maids always like little gifes such as soap, hair supplies, anything that would be hard to find in a country like Cuba.
