Melia Jardines del Rey: over all had a good time

The resort over all is nice a lot of walking the rooms are great but try to get a bottom floor they have to update there food in the main dinning area the sever are never around the food in the morning is great but in the evening it sucks also I think they should have sign as to what the food is.

Melia Marina Varadero: Decent resort

Service was poor compared with my last experience at another resort. There were so many servers serving you at same time. And they share the tips, which doesn’t make any sense to tip. There are 8 restaurants but you can only get in 4. And I was told that I only have one reservation ticket for 3 nights, which means I can only have one dinner at the restaurant the other 2 I have to eat at the buffet restaurant. There’s no any guide book in the room and you have to figure out where are the rest [... read more]aurants by yourself. Rum and Cigar are more expensive than Toronto at the resort shop. And the “bank” in the resort give a bad rate to exchange money. Every day is the same $100CAD=70CUC and 69.5CUC=$85CAD SO DONT OVER EXCHANGE MONEY!!!

Hotel Camino del Mar: Beautiful , clean, resort

Rooms were well kept,,,people are very nice and helpful, food was good but notice buffet not hot food,,,beach and warf was beautiful, wished for different kinds entertainment,,,beach was great , lots of activities,,place to go very friendly and very safe

Melia Jardines del Rey: Not great

Worst resort. Went 7 days without a toilet and my friend and I were both sick for the last 4 days. Maid didn’t give clean towels or make bed. Don’t drink water... not even water bottles they fill them with water and reseal them. Could go on and on. Do not go here if you want to have an enjoyable holiday.

Memories Cayo Largo: Sol Cayo Largo - NO Beach

NO BEACH!!!! Food was basic, services were basic, room was good. Trip Central and Hola Sun advertised and endorsed inaccurate information and images about the resort on their website where they show a beautiful beach with white sand. Instead we found only rocks and palapas and chairs thrown on the rocks. We had to travel for an hour to a beach and another hour back to the hotel every day. We did not benefit from the all inclusive package during the day because we were far away from the  [... read more]resort.

Melia Las Dunas: Hotel

The rooms where large and the beds very comfortable and big, they clean every day the towels you need to put in the bathtub if you want fresh ones, we were on the first floor but we didn’t have any bugs, there is a big variation of fish and meets at the buffet, the best way to eat fresh is to stay in line and cook it on the spot,there is not a lot of fruit or vegetables, do not expect to eat exotic food or spices because they don’t have it,we tried the restaurants a la carts and the best one [... read more] was International, the ice cream is good and the bar makes a great capuchino, if you want to get good service be ready to tip everyone, they will remember you the next day !

Melia Jardines del Rey: Nice beach and pools but the rest was horrible

The resort is big and has decent size rooms, a beautiful beach and pools. Unfortunately, the week we went it was booked to capacity and they could not handle it. We all got sick as did most of the resort. They ran out of everything every day: towels, drinks, no bread, pizza or flour for 4 days. Service was slow, inconsistent.

Melia Marina Varadero: Nice resort

Nice hotel very friendly staffs food its ok not the best but ok only one pool but ho care the beach is perfect room are clean drinks are okay overall it is very good resort and we had a wonderful stay don’t forget its Cuba 🇨🇺

Melia Marina Varadero: Beware

A one star hotel that owes its star to the sun n sand alone Food sucks Service sucks Drinks suck Cleanliness sucks Upkeep sucks Sand fleas suck Entertainment sucks Sucks Sucks sucks sucks sucks Sucks Sucks

Melia Marina Varadero: First Time in Varadero

Stayed at Melia Marina in classic room with great view of the pool and the ocean ! Rooms are dated and in need of refresh but clean! Small things like no handle on outside of patio door to balcony extremely slow shower drain and very marked up dresser and a drawer that didn’t close properly are just signs of poor maintenance! We all know you don’t go to Cuba for the food and this place particularly the buffet are reasons people say this! Specialty restaurants are slightly better but on our l [... read more]ast night at the International when they served two of the main courses the smell turned everyone off there dinner! Even though two of plates were not touched not one person ask if there was a problem and that has to be blamed on poor management! Enough of the negative the pools are clean and service at pool bar and lobby bar were good! The beach is beautiful but same cannot be said for beach bar and grill!. I would not recommend this resort as over New Years the premium paid is more than double what the resort s value really is!

Melia Marina Varadero: Disappointed

This resort was nothing like the review said it would be, were we victim to locals staying for The holiday? The last two days were the best and it seemed like Everthing changed after the holidays. Shame

Melia Jardines del Rey: Beautiful beach!

Please pick up your plastic cups BEFORE they blow into the OCEAN!!! The resort was huge so it was hard to find people if prior plans were not made. All through Cuba there is limited places WiFi is available. At this resort WiFi really ONLY works in the pool and in the lobby. The food was average and at times they did not have food in the only 24 hour snack bar. I recommend bringing snacks!!! The entertainment was good. There was dancing of some kind each night for the guests. The ro [... read more]oms were clean. There are lots of lounge chairs at the pool and on the beach. The best part was the beach and the water. I will go again.

Melia Jardines del Rey: Great Cuban Resort

The beach and entertainment were the best thing about this place. Rooms and food were all above expectations. Only issue was the water pressure from shower, not enough towels and there was a smell in one of the buffets. Great resort overall.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Beach is awesome!

The layout of the hotel was great. We had some issues with our specific room - AC was not properly working for the first 2 days but they did change the thermostat and it was great after that. We lost our hot water for the last 2 days and it was reported but it wasn't repaired by the time we left. Some staff were awesome and very friendly and working hard. Others seemed to be putting in time and a little crabby at times. Front desk reception was hit and miss. The main restaurant staff [... read more] were very good for us, main bar itself was really slow but the waitresses were running around and trying hard to keep us hydrated.

Melia Marina Varadero: Great location

Great location as we weren’t stuck in the resort thanks to the marina. Staff is very kind and they looked after us well. Food is a bit of an issue at this resort...very basic and sometimes they ran out of bread at breakfast or shrimp at dinner. They are not meant to welcome a huge number of guests. Things were better once the hotel had less guests after NYE. Cleanliness was another factor, they need to step it up on that side, hairs in the hallway, in the bathroom in areas we didn’t use and  [... read more]the couches could use a good clean. Beyond that, we had a wonderful time.

Melia Las Americas: Glorious Beach, Exceptional Staff

The hotel is exceptionally well appointed (by any standard). Food was incomparable (and clearly customized during our stay to appeal to the nationalities of the majority of guest while also offering local delicacies). Take advantage of the reef just off the pristine beach for world class snorkeling or a shallow scuba dive (staff located at the satellite scuba shop on the beach: Manuel and Brayan are skillful instructors for newbies yet provide enough interest in their tour of the reef to compl [... read more]etely satisfy my seasoned pro partner). Best still were the staff (have Raul make you a pinata colada or his speciality the "pick me up"). It's clear why so many have visited again and again.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Wonderful Family Vacation!

We travelled as a family group of 12. We loved the plantation style accommodations and beautiful grounds (those gardeners work so hard). The only drawback was that the hotel separated our family into 2 different buildings. Pick 25, 27, 29 for close to the beach/pool. We were in building 12 which was close to the lobby and main buffet restaurant. Walking in this beautiful environment is part of our resort enjoyment so we didn't mind it too much. We participated in the free activities like:  [... read more]catamaran, tennis, beach and pool volleyball, and dance lessons. Ping pong paddles were hard to get so bring your own if you'd like to play. We loved the Japanese restaurant. It was delicious and entertaining, as they cook right in front of you. All of the staff were so friendly. The little market displays were the same as in Varadero so save yourself the $20 cab ride for souvenirs, unless you want to see the town. The nighttime entertainment was super. We were impressed with the water ballet.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Good resort

The hotel was still undergoing renovations. There were a number of bungalows not available during our stay, which on the plus side meant that the resort was only about half full meaning no line ups and always a chair at either the beach or the pool. The beach is beautiful! The bungalow we stayed in was a great location close to both the beach and the pool. The hotel was clean, but showed signs of deferred maintenance, most likely due to the focus being on getting the other bungalows ready for gu [... read more]ests. Food was fine, not a lot of variety at the buffet but always something for everyone. The Japanese restaurant was amazing. Great food and the chefs were awesome. Shout out to Roberto! The gentlemen at the beach were always quick to get chairs and remembered where we liked to be each day and had our chairs ready first thing in the morning. The lady making the coffees and Spanish coffees in the lobby bar was amazing and works very hard. We had the pleasure of having Elyani serving us each evening in the lobby bar and she was awesome. We had no air conditioning for the first couple of days and the Air Transat reps were great at following up with customer service to have the issue resolved. There was no hot water the last couple of days. So a few things for the hotel to work on. All in all the good outweighed the bad. The staff at the resort are all hard working and go out of their way to do whatever they can to make your stay enjoyable.

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Outstanding resort & staff!

Both my boyfriend & I have been to many resorts in Cuba & this was “hands down” the best resort we have been to! The resort is very clean, rooms large, beach huge, & food was absolutely great, especially the a la cartes! The best part of the resort though, was their staff!! Always smiling & helpful, kudos to all of you & the management team! We highly recommend this resort!!

Melia Jardines del Rey: great resort
