Club Kawama: I would give it a one and half stee

The only two a la carte restaurants were closed; buffet only. No coffee in the buffet. No butter; no white wine; sometimes no ice; no hot water for 5 days. The pool was green for 3 days. At the same time as the ocean was red flagged.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Beautiful resort

The sunwing outline of the hotel said if your vacation is during your anniversary then you would get a bottle of champagne. Flowers. And a special dinner at this hotel. We asked 6 times for these bonus items as it was our anniversary we asked the front desk as well the concierge manager we finally got a dinner but nothing else. The flight with sunwing to cuba was horrible we paid for prestige seats and got regular seats my husband is 6’8” tall he cant sit in regular seats yet s mother and  [... read more]child were in emergency exit!! Flight attendants did nothing about it. We had paid 120.00 for these seats on the plane. We advised sunwing rep about this and he said nothing he could do from cuba, we had to pay another 100.00 to get emergency exit for the seats back to winnipeg Terrible flights!

Memories Jibacoa: Very nice resort

Clean room, very tidy property. The beach was well looked after even after stormy weather. The staff was friendly and seemed well-trained. We enjoyed the ability to paraglide the local ridge and land at the beach near the resort. The entertainment in the evenings was professional level.

Barcelo Solymar: Wouldn't go back!

The rooms had bugs! Water leaked from the ceiling. You only get 1 bottle of water a day. Limited booze and food sucked. Beach is beautiful and people and staff are friendly but definitely not going back. Entertainment consists of bingo...

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Good value!! Had a great time!

Pros - the beach is amazing, the pool and swim up pool bar is amazing, great selection of drinks and access to drinks/bars, bungalow concept for rooms was really nice and allowed us to walk around and enjoy the weather/scenery, coffee bar and latte’s near main lobby were absolutely amazing!, the nightly bands/singers were pretty good although short sets. The food - breakfast had an awesome spread - omelettes, waffles, pastries, egg station, bacon, etc.- was great. Lunch and dinner were pret [... read more]ty similar and choice of meat (pork, beef, chicken) or fish and rice, pastas, salad bar. Cons - the room was pretty basic, we had a problem with our shower but it wasn’t a deal breaker. For the price great value we had a great week!!!

Grand Memories Varadero: A beautiful resort that has seen better days.

The staff were always courteous,polite and friendly.The grounds were groomed daily & all facilities were close walking distance. The food was not very desirable but I heard Cuba was know for this. Covid 19 affected everyone & this resort is showing it. For the price I paid I would go back just remember to pack more snacks.

Hotel Bella Costa: Great selection of food

Great selection of food is tasty beautiful resort beach is very nice a little rocky at some spots little far from downtown but if you can find someone to share a cab it cuts the cost rooms could be updated other than that the ambiance was nice very nice entertainment, the staff and musicians work hard don’t forget to tip they surely deserve it.

Melia Las Antillas: Needs a bit of help

The beach was amazing. Clean rooms but needs updating. Shower small, toilet didn't always flush, very dull lighting. Food was not great. Pretty much the same things for breakfast lunch and dinner. They ran out if another of things, napkins were toilet paper. Staff needs to stay on top of guests hoarding food in plastic bags. One morning 4 people from the same table took all the buns, cakes, squares and donuts!!! Wifi worked in our room the first 3 days then nothing.

Melia Las Americas: We had an amazing time!!

Staff was so friendly. Clean resort and the best was the snorkeling on the reef. Truly great vacation!! The food was okay. You have to do the out restaurants in the resort to get more variety of food. Overall I recommend this resort

Grand Memories Varadero: Amazing Resort

It was my first time in Cuba I enjoyed very much people are very friendly and the resort is beautiful. I would try it again and again. I went for a trip to Havana and it was amazing and wonderful one day visit. I loved everything about Cuba and if you are not a complaining guy I will enjoy it food wasn’t very good but you will always find something to eat I enjoyed everyday show at the resort specially Marcelina she did a great job

Playa Vista Azul: Great Resort!

I stayed at Vista Azul this past week with a few friends. The grounds, public areas and the rooms were fabulous. They were clean and well looked after. I do want to highlight how helpful and welcoming the staff at this resort were. They were prompt and always ready to help. Special mention for the resort manager Arasay! She was a delight!

Barcelo Solymar: Great resort

The property is well maintained, staffs are really really friendly and helpful. Food was not that great but given the countries overall situation it was more than acceptable. The resort is only walking distance from the entertainment area/downtown.

Barcelo Solymar: Will NOT book again AVOIDE AVOIDE AVOIDE!!!!!

Having been to Cuba over 9 times I must say this was by far the worst experience. Starting with the check-in, upon walking to the room the safe was completely broken and we had to go back and forth to the lobby and waited over 2 hours for it to get fixed causing us to miss dinner ( what a start). Woke up for breakfast super hungry since we had not eaten all night but the food was absolutely not fit to be eaten. That trend continued the whole week, the buffet is the same every single day weather  [... read more]you are having breakfast, lunch or dinner. The a la carte restaurant ( only 3 ) were serving the same food as the buffet but even worst. Italian a la carte did not even serve pasta and served the same pizza you found in the buffet again not at all fit to be eaten. Folks there is 1 and I repeat 1 salt shaker in the whole resort! They would pass it around the tables if you asked for salt like whaaat!!! Imagine going to an all inclusive to be forced to eat out every day what is even the point??? Now to the service, you would find the staff all bundled up at a bar chit chatting and on their phones while they serve you and not even make eye contact! Half the time they did not even have simple drinks. They constantly ask you for money and I am not talking about tipping just out of nowhere they come to you asking for money and clothes like where am I?? I understand its a third world country but the staff asking me for money while I am walking to go to my room? Harassing me for clothes while I am lying at the pool??? Room service, the lady came to our room twice in 7 days, we had to keep the same towels because there was not enough in the resort?? At least they didn't pass the towels around like the salt shaker ( at least I hope). Wifi is a disaster it will disconnect and reconnect at will and front reception will just tell you ''ahh not today sorry'' . Made us check out at 12 when flight was leaving at 8 knowing that resort had a 20% occupancy so why make us leave the room so early have a little decency com-on. I was sick for 3 days from the food and lack of hygiene. Everything in the resort is overpriced and you constantly feel like they are trying to rip you off. We had staff in the resort offering us drugs knowing it is completely illegal in Cuba and a criminal offence to do so ( felt like a plot to trick us). You would see locals during the day with no bracelet having food and drinks but would suddenly disappear at night. All in all DO NOT I repeat DO NOT book this place I will be making a formal complaint against the resort and keep in mind this is my 9th time in Cuba and it is the first time I am even taking the time to write a review because I feel it is so important to save my fellow travellers from having to go through this misery again.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Disappointing

The pool area is beautiful The beach is gorgeous The lobby bar was good as long as you had money in your hand ready to tip. The rooms had a terrible smell to them. The mattresses had a plastic cover on them which made it terrible to sleep on. We had outlets in our room that weren't attached to the wall

Playa Vista Azul: Premium room prospective

States for 6 days in the premium section and will highly recommend it. We met the premium manager Arasay who was just amazing to deal with, alwsys helpful and alwsys with a smile. Carlos at the premium pool bat serves up the best drinks. Resort is very clean, and all the staff was so helpful. Now food is average and don't try any beef or land. Hotel has 2 beaches that is very nice.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Nice hotel

The staff are so friendly & helpful: numerous excursions organized onsite & were great. Beautiful beach. Pools are nice main pool was closed one day because it turned green. The food is what you would expect in Cuba. Rooms were cleaned thoroughly every day.

Iberostar Selection Varadero: Not worth the money

The resort is a 3 star. Outdated, underfunded, staff not very pleasant and food was disappointing. Would not return here ever. The only good thing they have is their room cleaning lady. She needs a raise.

Brisas Del Caribe: Amazing resort 😍

Spent another wonderful week at Brisas del Caribe our 22nd time to this amazing place. Beach is beautiful. Grounds looking the best we have ever seen. Staff are 5 star. We are treated to a suite that is simply beautiful. Only 120 guest most of the week so no lineups for food, bars or washrooms. Food was great in the buffet with Jorge making the best omelets ever. A la carte restaurant food was very good but shortage of wine all week. Treatment in a la carte restaurants by staff was perfect.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Hotel is a former glory

Have stayed here before. Hotel is not the same. My room no HOT WATER. Asked many times...no responce. Towels are not changed unless you ask. Beach is beautiful but thats about it. Shows are few and tacky, no class. BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT WAS THE FOOD PROGRAM. Buffet was terrible, food was often re-heated over and over. very little taste and quality. No imagination on presentation and culinary skills. The head chef walked thru the buffet more than once and started picking with his hands and eatin [... read more]g off the buffet........GROSS beyond words. Biggest disappointment was our Anniversay Dinner at the a la carte. We pre-ordered steak and lobster......we were served Tough Roast Beef and Seafood Lasagna !!!!!! Will never stay here again. SUNWING IS A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE

Melia Las Americas: A nice resort BUT

Assessing whether to ever go back. Had to move rooms (not till the next day) as the room overlooked a balcony and nothing else. WiFi never ever worked in either room but only in the lobby. Went for the golf vacation and as it turned out the golf carts were burned in a maintenance shack fire. The first day we had to carry our bags. Following days the resort managed to borrow carts but would only give one cart for each foursome…so two had to walk. The 3rd day our cart actually caught fire. [... read more] Not a great experience. The staff, I should note, are very friendly.
