This was our 3rd time in Cuba and I have to say the resort was very nice, everything is close: the beach, the pools, etc. I was there with my young daughter and it was great that we didn't have to walk a long distance to get anywhere. Staff was very friendly. Our faucet was leaking in the washroom, we told them and they fixed it immediately.
Food was actually pretty good. You'll see the same things over and over in the buffet but there's always something good. Go to the pasta bar at lunch or get things from the grill. It's a good resort for a one-week vacation. Two weeks there might be a bit much. The excursions are ok but not as good as other places in Cuba. There are alot of locals selling stuff on the beach but aren't too annoying or insistent so it's not so bad. Beach is nice. A bit of algae at first but then, nice and sandy.
Not a good spot for snorkelling. The only negative thing I have to say about this place has nothing to do with the resort itself or the staff I mean, including local prostitutes. I had never seen so much of this in other places in Cuba. It's not so bad since you don't see them much in the day time and kids definitely don't It's not so bad since you don't see them much in the day time and kids definitely don't notice what's going on, but everyone else was saying they thought it was just disgusting.
Aside from that though, great place for the price! This was my first time in Cuba. I had a wonderful vacation. The staff were extremely friendly. I will be returning. Things to bring: Ketchup and hot sause. My husband, myself and three friends were at Brisas from Feb 23 - March 1 and we all had a wonderful time.
Most of the staff is very friendly and open to conversation. Many speak English, French, or Italian. We all thoroughly enjoyed the Coffee Bar, spanish coffee in particular. The resort is small so it was common to see the same people every day and get to know them.
