Superb beach, less than good hotel

Hotel: Dinnnig-OK, noisy hotel (from beside street or from entertaining area), gasoline smell goes in the rooms that are facing street), lukewarm water for shower, cleaning was good, bar good. Beach: Very nice beach, clean, one can take long walks or swim, life guard on duty every day, one can almost pet pelicans :)

Good resort

Good resort friendly staff, close to everything , souvenir shops etc. New restaurant a la carte good food. Coffee is very good at bar. Claudio always there to help you out. The snack bar is always good. The bingo guy is also very good

Raining in n Varedo

I would go back again, the plus... elevator going to rooms ,balcony in rooms over looking ocean or the side where the pool and entertainment is on. , you can watch it from balcony. remained me back in the 50's where the rooms large....bad part the toilets did not flush with with any force and get bucket water to flush it down

Okay resort, Amazing Beach

Very small resort, only liked the beach across the street. Food ok, had same food everyday. Pool very small and cold. But weather was great for beach everyday, good time if you love thebeach and good drinks

Friendly,good hospitality and great reception.

Overall hotel is good, convenient location, great reception, good buffet, large bedrooms, great nightly entertainment , sandy beach was a delight to walk on for long relaxing walks with plenty of room for sunbathing.

The ocean is in your backyard

24 hours open bar, nightly entrainment, they have private bungalows, nice staff. The beach is literally a 2 minute walk. Close to shops and restaurants as well as a short cab ride to clubs. Beautiful city with beautiful people. The food is just alright at the resort but who's really going for the food anyway.

Terible terrible place

It as a dump. Jusst an old hotel that was faling apart. Dirty. Bugs were inthe food in the dining room which was very dirty. Toulets didnt flush nd no door knobs on inside of room door. How unsafe is that. Showers were just a hose laying inside a rusty rusty tub with mould on the walls. Please do not send anyon here ever.

Good

Good but amélioration in cuisine Food is not very good........in room the mattress poor.......good music Nice spectacle outside Nice barmaid in the hôtel. .....SMILING People. CLAUDIO VERY smart. Good manager speak in english....

VERY GOOD

MY HUSBAND ,MOM, SISTER AND I STAY FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THIS HOTEL,WE HAD A GREAT TIME ,ROOM WERE CLEAN,FOOD WAS GOOD BASE ON WHAT WE PAY ,SERVICE WAS GREAT EVERYONE WAS VERY FRIENDLY WE WILL GO BACK FOR SURE.

Good value and close to town.

Staff was excellent especially Cecilia the maid on the 4th floor. She was most helpful after a crack and then a total fall apart of the toilet seat. There is in general a lack of toilet seats in some of the public washrooms in the hotel and places like the Varadaro airport and some restaurants. The toilet seats are plastic and from China with a bad mounting unit which tend to fall off the toilet bowl. It seems that toilet seats are hard to find in Varadaro.

Excellent economic choice!

nice clean hotel and good food for a 3 stars....3 min walking to the beach,but smoking cars and trucks very close to the clean pool....good service at both bars,smiling staff!!, i saw peoples cleaning many areas every day...

Hotel in extremely poor shape.

Toilet would not flush. No toilet seat. Rooms very old and dirty. I felt sorry for the front desk staff. It wasn't much they could do but put a smile on their face and apologise. Food was poor too. Grounds in bad shape. Staff and entertainment was good.

Everything you need on a budget

Very simple hotel, one restaurant, one pool and a couple of bars. Beach is across the street a couple blocks away. The food was better than some places I've paid more to stay at. Staff were very friendly and because the property isn't that big, it never seems crowded in the public areas. For the price, it was great.

Great Location & Value

Hotel is dated but well kept for its age. Hotel staff very courteous and plenty to eat in the dinning room. Beach is across the street and situated on one of the nicest parts of the Varadero beach. Rooms are spacious and clean with balconies.

Vacation

The hotel as mentionned was a three star and I got what I expected. The room was actually not too bad except the toilet that didn't flush properly due to low water pressure, so we had to keep filling up juggs and dumping it in the reservoir for it to function properly. The food was the same nealy everyday and not too bad, but I didn't go on vacation to stay in my room! The location was wonderful there was good enertainment at the resort and the staff were friendly. The beach is a skip away and t [... read more]he pool was great. The tips that we left were items, clothes and a bit of money. But the items and clothing seemed to be much appreciated. Taken into consideration that it is a THREE star (or a two star back home) I was pleased.

Resort was ok.

Staff was friendly, facilities needed some maintenance. Overall experience was good, we got what we paid for. Don't leave stuff unattended on the beach. Great trip. Only one restaurant and it was buffet.

On a Budget? Acuazul in for you!

This hotel is great for a cheap trip to Varadero. The rooms are large, if a bit run down, and are comfortable. Bring a plug if you want a bath. The lobby is ok, nothing special but they have a nice lobby bar with a flatscreen, if you're into watching sports. There is also a bar at the pool for drinks and sometimes food when the restaurant is closed. The pool is always clean and a good temperature. There is always sun and shade at the pool, depending on what you like. It's less then a 5 minute wa [... read more]lk to beach - with a beach bar, lounge chairs and umbrellas. The beach is beautiful - very shallow for a quite a stretch, so the water is never too cold to swim. This hotel is near the beginning of Varadero so there is lots to explore - stores, restaurants, music, bars, craft tents, etc. You can take the double-decker bus for 5 cuc and ride it all day - getting off where you want and hopping back on when you want to go somewhere else. It's cheaper than taking taxis everywhere. All in all, it's a good hotel to stay at if you're in Cuba to enjoy the sun and beach and pool and to meet people - cubans and others.

You get what you pay for.

I paid $364.00 ca. all in. What more could I expect for that amount no complaints about the service or the staff. They should remove all of their 3 star signs that are posted. 2 is my recomendation.CH.

Great location!

This hotel was perfect for what we wanted . We simply wanted a place to call home while we explored Cuba . Good food( although repetitive) , great location . needs some tlc on some rooms( lots of people complaining about lights , ac, etc ) Friendly staff . This resort is not where you want to go to if your looking for a one stop shop , but it's perfect if it's just a place to go back to after exploring .

Great home away from home!

The property is a small budget hotel but it offers all you need to enjoy Varadero. We are just back from a wonderful 2 week stay, probably our 14th trip to Cuba. After doing the large resorts the first few times we discovered the acuazul and have stayed there ever since. The location is excellent and thanks to Claudio and his staff we have been treated as family.
