New, modern, clean resort.

The hotel is just two years old. The rooms are modern and in excellent shape. The maids do a great job. The landscaping is young and so this will take a few years to fill out. The infinity pool is amazing. I only wish they played local music instead of American pop culture. The food was okay. I usually stuck with an omelette for breakfast and pasta for lunch. The beach to the right of the hotel is great. The beach on the premises is not good.

Great resort

Ocean Vista Azul Varadero Cuba exceeded our expectations. Our room was amazingly clean and spacious. We didn't take the priveldge package and still had a great view of the ocean! The grounds were exceptional and the groups of rooms wonderfully laid out. This resort is on a cliff with a small beach on one side and a larger beach on the other. The larger beach was beautiful. The food was not five star but edible. We never went hungry. Staff was helpful and courteous. There was one outlet in th [... read more]e washroom with 110 v so we were able to charge our iPad and kindles. Very convenient. If I had one negative thing to say it was that they could have a snack bar for lunch on the larger beach. It wasn't a long walk to the pool BBQ however. I would recommend this hotel and look forward to returning one day.

Amazing Staff, Beautiful Hotel

Ocean Vista Azul is a beautiful, well kept hotel. Our rooms were clean and the staff were always ensuring the facilities were as well. The Entertainment staff and Pool Bar staff quickly got to know everyone and provided outstanding service. My son fell and cut his head and the staff responding quickly and had us taken to the clinic to get stitches. When we returned, they followed up throughout the week to ensure he was okay and went out of their way to help us have a great vacation.

Awesome Staff!!!

Awesome Staff at the pool bar, Yosnier and his gang! Awesome people! Thank you! Smiley and her gang in the Buffet! They were all so nice! Our hotel room was nice and the housekeeping did a great job of keeping it nice and cleaned up for us! The a la Carte restaurants had good food but had very slow service, our order was delayed a long while due to it being lobster night and they interrupted cooking our order to serve the lobster first. The Snack bar by the pool was great for mid day sna [... read more]cks by the pool and the snack bar down by the beach had a great lunch buffet. The entertainment group was great! The dancers were also awesome, our favorite was Abraham! Hope your ankle is getting better! There were two beaches, the better one a longer walk but much nicer, seems will be shared with the resort right next door once it is renovated so it might be busier once all opened. I definitely recommend this resort!

Amazing Resort

This hotel was amazing with excellent staff! Both my husband and I had a great stay at this resort. The food, hotel staff and the rooms were great. Cannot say enough about this resort. Best one in Cuba for us.

Great resort for first trip to cuba

Very clean and well kept. Staff were polite and helpful and worked hard. Bars and pool were fun, food was OK to good and the seaside cafe was nice. Musical entertainment was excellent. Tourist bus stopped right outside the hotel

Amazing resort

Staff was great they were friendly and always helpful. The room was comfortable it was always a surprise as to what we would see after the maids did up our room. The whole resort was well kept we enjoyed our stay.

A wonderful stay at Ocean Vista Azul

I would highly recommend this resort. It was very clean in the rooms and all around the resort. There were constantly people cleaning all aspects of the hotel and pools etc. The food was actually excellent. There was a buffet restaurant, which was awesome, and 3 other a la carte restaurants, which were all good, but 2/3 of them were awesome. The pools were beautiful and bars and bartenders amazing. There were two beaches, one was a little rough and one was very beautiful. There were nightly show [... read more]s by the amazing dance team. The only area where this hotel needs to work on is to have alternative entertainment in the case of rainy days. There wasn't much to do in those situations. Also, Internet access was pretty good, but sometimes it would act up and take a bunch of tries to get on. All in all, I would 100% recommend this lovely hotel and for sure return there again.

Cute,Modern, clean

Staff were all super nice and very accommodating. Buildings and grounds, very well kept. Pools were great. Unfortunately the beaches were not great due to recent storm. Personally, we were not struck on the layout of the resort, everything seemed to be housed in the one building, restaurants, buffet, bar and entertainment, but again not a deal breaker.

Nice resort but not a five star rating.

Very nice resort that is recently new. Hardly any beach front. Some of the staff there are really friendly and some are really moody. The a la cartes are good but the staff at Limoncellos and Romantic Dining are very moody and rude at times. The buffet is good. Different foods daily. The staff that is in management for the buffet has to learn to put a stop on the locals when they come in to dine. We witnessed three local Cuban families walk out with three cases of yogurt drinks in their bags, [... read more] five platefuls of cold cuts with cheese piled one inch thick, loaves of bread, tea bags, jams, cooked steaks, bacon and etc. We paid good money to go on this trip and we didn't get any of the foods that the locals walked out with to eat. One of the chefs at the grill station said I couldn't have a steak for dinner tonight because one of the local families ahead of me took all the steaks for themselves. People are just rude and selfish when coming to this resort especially if they are a local. They even cut in front of you to get their food instead of waiting in line like the rest of us. The first two days are room was cleaned on a daily basis, fresh towels and everything. The third day, nothing was done. My husband had to call and go down to the front desk to yell at them about it. If they don't feel like cleaning your room, they will just skip it. Several couples that we spoke to at the resort said the same thing as us, not a five star here at this resort. Management has to get their priorities in order to make it a five star. They have no idea what's going on and the food is just going out the doors to the locals.

Modern Resort

I chose this resort primarily for its modern, clean appearance. I was impressed with all the facilities, and though people usually have bad things to say about the food in cuba, I found it good. Animation staff were also friendly. Cons of this resort were that there never seemed to be clean towels to exchange at the pool, and that the beaches were quite a walk from the main areas of the resort.

Ocean Vista Azul

Very clean hotel in general. Rooms are very nice and clean...nice big showers! Staff is very friendly. Restaurants a la carte were very good and no reservations necessary which was nice. Pools are beautiful. Beaches are nice and no need to reserve beach chairs...always fiind a free space. Everything is close by so not too much walking distance between rooms, reception, pools, restaurants and beaches. I would rate this hotel for Cuba 4 to 4 1/2 star.

Ocean Vista Azul

Very clean rooms and nice resort. Restaurants a la carte are very good and great since no reservations are necessary. First come, First serve. Very nice shows at night, great dancers. 2 Beautiful pools. Everythjng is close by and not too much walking, so everything is accessible without needing a "caro". Employees very friendly. I would rate it 4 to 4 1/2 star).

Great resort

Our stay was for 5 days, August 7-11. We loved this resort. The rooms were clean. The food was good. We ate everything in moderation. We liked that you can choose your fish/seafood or meat and have them grill it in front of you. The espresso's were good. There are 2 beaches (left and right side). The left side was a little crowded and noisier (games etc...). The right side was spectacular. There were plenty of huts and chairs and it was less crowded. On this side, you find the pedalo's, kayak's  [... read more]etc..just a beautiful beach! We preferred the right side. The staff were attentive. We were a family of 4 (two of which were teenagers). I would recommend this resort.

Great resort

The hotel is nice, although the amenities could use an update such as the tennis court and basketball. Dining rooms were nice. I like the fact that we do not need to book reservation for a la carte. Swimming pools were great especially the infinity pool. Beach was amazing! It was great price for the value. Cubana airline actually impressed me.

Nice property

Clean grounds, good food, nice service, beautiful beach, great beach snack bar so close to the beach, easy access and great service. We took our 2 month old baby, wish I'd got a room in the main building as well as booked privilege the only elevator is in this building so it would have been better for the stroller and amenities, my complaint was with booking not enough was known about the property and how to book privilege.

Breath taking views

Our room was amazing. We were upgraded to an Ocean View room. The view for the sunsets were amazing. The rooms were great, always clean and cool. Big bed and great bath. Waking up and getting the special coffees as well as the bars were high lights. I would highly recommend this resort

Beautiful modern resort

Facilities were wonderful, modern and very well kept. Staff was amazing and the food was decent. The beaches were Incredible Entertainment was amazing, and they had a very good array of excursions. We all had a blast.

Awesome resort!

We travelled to Cuba July 1-8, 2016. This is our second time there. We were pleasantly surprised with this resort. It's not large, everything is very close, lobby, pool, restaurants, etc. Clean & modern rooms. The beach area is small; however the ocean is incredible Our bar fridge was stocked every day.
