Valentin Cayo Cruz: Thoroughly Impressed

I expected very little from this resort, knowing what I know about what a four star means in Cuba and for the low price I paid, but I was thoroughly impressed. The grounds were well maintained, the rooms were huge with a king bed and hot water for showers. The food was what you would expect in Cuba. The only thing I would say is that service at the snack bar in particular wasn’t the greatest. Overall, I would recommend this resort and I would go back

Playa Costa Verde: Always Stunning

We just returned from a week away at PCV. We’ve been going there atleast once a year for the past 4 years. This place is AMAZING. the highlights are the 24HR snack bar, stocked with food & drinks. The entertainment is great daily. The beach is gorgeous. The staff are the most beautiful, kind caring people you can find on earth! the grounds are well kept and beautiful, the pool & pool bar are where you find me most often ;). The rooms are dated , but for the amount of time you spend in them , the [... read more]y’re perfectly fine. beds are comfortable, water is hot, most rooms have jet tubs which is nice in the evening after a rain shower. If you’ve seen the recent news advisories about shortages and power outages , PLEASE don’t listen… this past trip had less shortages than previous years, despite the fact ; it is cuba and you need to keep expectations realistic … this resort has everything you’ll need. they had eggs, bacon, ketchup (on every table) lots of coffee and drink options. So don’t let the recent news deter you ! USD tipping is preferred , but do what you can … they’re grateful because Our help is what keeps them going… I recently saw a meme that says “FIBO” ( Fu*k it, Book it!) and that’s my advice for you ! Go enjoy the wonderful culture , the incredible service , the sun , sand and Sea .. and above all else the unmatched hospitality of the lovely Cuban people!!

Melia Varadero: Great Time - but a warning!

The hotel was great. We were happy with the food and the overall service. The weather was absolutely beautiful and we truly enjoyed our time. The rooms and hotel were clean, no issues with electricity, and no mosquitos during our stay (second week of January). However, a warning for passengers. We purchased items at duty free on our to Varadero (no issues). On our way back to Toronto, we packed those duty free items into our checked luggage. Upon arrival at Toronto, I noticed that not only we [... read more]re our luggage locks destroyed, but our duty free items were missing/stolen. Unfortunately, these items were stolen after we checked our luggage at Varadero Airport. We were a group of 10 travelling. This happened to three of us. Be careful what you pack. We had a wonderful trip, but this was a sad ending.

Memories Caribe Beach Resort: Memories caribe

For the money ,this hotel was excellent. Was it a luxurious 5 star?.nope but for a very reasonable price it offered a clean air-conditioned room with a fridge and a balcony.an incredibly beautiful beach,clean pool and a good variety of food..excellent beach pizza and "bites bar"had very good sandwiches..animation team did a good job keeping it fun around the pool as well..I'll go back??

Melia Trinidad Peninsula: Love this resort it has to be one of the best resorts in Cuba. I was there in November just went back again and heading back in the next two months.

The hotel is one of the cleanest ones and well-maintained. I’ve ever stayed at the room the service everything was a five star, the meals, especially restaurants the snack bar. I would highly recommend this resort to anybody as a five star selection of the cocktails. The martini bar was fantastic.

Blau Varadero: Amazing Resort

This hotel is awesome. The staff are very welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. The restaurants always had plenty of food, we didn’t experience any food or beverage shortages. The hotel is extremely clean. The pool and beach have the animation teams that provide activities for you should you choose to participate and in the evening there’s quality entertainment. The Blau is the only hotel I go to in Varadero. I can’t wait to go back!

Blau Varadero: Blau Varadero is fantastic!

Blau Varadero is a beautiful hotel. The grounds are always very well maintained, and the buildings are always clean. We have been to this resort on multiple occasions and we have never been disappointed. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Melia Jardines del Rey: It was very unpleasant experience

Dirty , mildew pillows ,linens , holes in sheets,requested room spray for Pharaoh ants and large ants throughout our room.Either used our own mug or positioned shower head into toilet to fill tank for flushing..take toilet paper because it won't be refilled if your cleaning lady has a couple days off. suggested 2 twin beds because rooms weren't ready..Took king-size bed 3rd floor..needed blankets the closest doors I demanded maintenance they were hanging loose, Entertainment was tooo loud and w [... read more]hat was offered was disgusting. No Cuban dancing or stage people interact..The beach totally disappointing..Garbage filthy lawn chairs, I realize nature is there but it was awful..Used the pool .about 5 employees plus 6 gardeners acknowledged us..Sunwing rep gave me the feeling she hated to see me..but Air Transat rep was a real charm made us feel welcomed. Our bags were taken in and departure day picked up w Victor great service..2 young ladies front desk exceptional service, young guy making pancakes , dinner and evening buffet outstanding performance..First time to Cayo Coco, 21st time to Cuba im a well seasoned traveler whom respects and understand Cuba ..We certainly didn't expect a 5 star to be this horrible..We look forward to visiting the area in Cuba we know best in a few months..thank you. Towel art was delightful as the gal cleaning..I'd be happy to send pictures most people we spoke with definitely mentioned they wouldn't be returning..Good luck ..oh and suggest 30cdn to buy meal at BBQ was best money spent..

Memories Paraiso: Beautiful staff

The resort is an older one but you don’t even noticed that. Its grounds are kept nice. The food was amazing! The best part is the staff! Kind, helpful, beautiful and so friendly. Bar service was top notch.

Barcelo Solymar: Amazing Lush Grounds & loved my 2 storey level bungalow SUITE in the bungalow villa! ♥ SO CUTE!

LOOK BEOFRE YOU BOOK @ www.youtube.com/@resortwalkthroughs BEACH=The beach here has a gentle decline into the sandy white turquoise ocean. ROOMS=I switched 3 suites before I was happy with mine. They were very accommodating, but my friend saw 2 cock roaches in his 2nd floor room (right above the 1st floor that is condemned) NONO!!! It took him 3 days to get the free upgrade to the top floor ocean view. MOST DEFINITELY DO NOT STAY ANYWHERE ON THE 1st floor, and try not to stay on the 2 [... read more]nd floor either. Get a bungalow suite= worth the money. The bungalow villa is fantastic!! NOTE* The difference between the bungalow and the bungalow suite is the bungalow suite has TWO floors with stairs and the bungalow does not. FOOD/DRINKS= we both loved the food and drinks here & NEVER went hungry! LOCATION= 10 minute walk to the Beatles Bar ( They play old rock n roll and metal here) NOT my style and the club called La Comparsita... Now we're talking!!! (Both downtown Varadero, a very short walk away ) HIT THIS CLUB UP ON A FRI OR SAT NIGHT ONLY. It's dead any other night. Also only pay $20 US and alcohol is all inclusive here that's right! Drink your ass off & get white girl wasted. (and they close late, with VIP upstairs for after hours. This club is octagon shaped with NO ROOF, with stage/live performers for part of the eve then DJ the latest hits (English and Spanish music combo)! Dance all night under the heat of the Cuban stars or dance in the warm rain...either way this club is a win 1000% ♥ SHOPPING= Do NOT bring debit cards or mastercards to the artisans vendors. They accept CAD$ US$ and Cuban pesos ONLY. You can take the hop on hop off bus that stops at each resort and through out the Varadero strip. It is $5 US but your bill must be new (they will NO accept any damaged/ripped/pieces missing money) You can ride this from morning till round 5:00 pm. ENJOY! Just got back from 11 days. Packed chocolate and nuts in my carry on. Brought a lil blanket and my own pillow. The blankets at this resort are the old brown scratchy ones... ICK. Go & enjoy, ask for what you need & want. Be assertive. This is YOUR trip you are paying them. Remember that.

Playa Vista Azul: Not the best!

6/10 Our first Cuba ressort and it’s for sure not a 4-5 star! We weren’t expecting much food and drinks but that wasn’t even the main issue, it was the staff and room. First off, we came and checked in at 10am- expecting our rooms to be done maybe a bit before or at 4:00. When it hit 4:00, still not ready. This also didn’t happen to just us, but multiple other people. Already being tired from your flight, then waiting till 4:00 thinking your room will be ready but it still isn’t, is insane to m [... read more]e. Then our room itself wasn’t bad, but toilette seat had some red spotting (we thought it was period blood) and the like pull our mirror was falling off the wall. We were also having problems with the thermostat and when we called the reception they didn’t understand what we meant ( what isn’t the issue) and we’re being very annoyed and rude to us! On the other hand food was actually decent- had chicken for most of my meals with some nice dessert! Had two pools and two beaches that were nice and clean. Over all I think the main issue is staff and hospitality, and the rooms.

Playa Vista Azul: Guys Cuba Trip

The hotel was very nice, tho it could use a little tlc. My mattress was a little hard, the cushions on the chairs in the lobby and on the infinity pool deck need some stuffing. During an early morning walk I realized that how alot of areas are unsafely dark. Buildings not adequately signed with building numbers. These are minor issues, not major. The staff were awesome, our room attendant, Marishka, was exceptional and friendly. The staff at the buffet especially one in the morning,  [... read more]fabulous. Ariel from the beach buffet, was a great representative of your hotel.

Melia Cayo Coco: Very nice resort

People were lovely, very happy and accommodating. Food was ok. Pretty cold most of the time sadly. Lots of food was absent like salad, veggies and eggs but we made due. Smoking was allowed beside the buffet entrance, absolutely ridiculous. Should be removed immediately. Pool was cold so we could not swim. Entertainment staff were wonderful, ones who do activities.

Sol Caribe Beach: Awesome hotel

Nice clean room, food is simple, but good, beach is great, staff are friendly! Had a great week! The 24 hour snacks, drinks, coffees, for in between meals! Drinks and beers were ice cold, very nice hotel

Melia Varadero: Great resort

Good food, no shortages, amazing staff, very good drinks and bartender's. Recommend the Level for the lounge and check in/out. Great nightly entertainment. Great value for the price. Maid service was very good. Kept our room really clean and exchanged towels twice a day. Also refilled our fridge. Never had to ask for anything.

Aston Costa Verde Beach Resort: Love this place

The hotel and grounds are breathtaking, all the workers and gardeners are so very friendly and hospitable. The beach is paradise, it is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, the tree line is only 100 feet from the water so it easily gives off this tropical vibe, the beachfront is in a protected bay so most days are calm crystal clear, water, snorkeling, and scuba diving are exceptional here Food could be better, but there is always an array of choices
