Wonderful experience

Selectum resort is clean and most of facilities are new. people working there is kind and friendly. When we have troubles about the door lock, technician came to fix promptly. One thing not satisfied is the fruit from the buffet has only limited options and no apples, orange or bananas etc. I suggest the resort can increase the level of buffet and kids program. Overall it is very value of money for my stays.

Absolutely Amazing

This hotel / resort is absolutely beautiful. I just can’t say enough about it. So clean and modern, no shortage of food. The staff is always friendly and willing to help in anyway. The only downside if the beach is very rocky but I heard that they are planning to fix that. We are already planning to return same time next year.

Great experience

The selectum family resort was great! The staff was wonderful and very welcoming. The food was good and the bartenders were great, the drinks were delicious! The day time entertainment group were absolutely amazing!!! Highly recommend 👌

Beautiful New Resort

After searching the web for weeks, we landed on Selectum Varadero. Modern, clean, friendly resort close to the airport. The only downfall was that they have not yet fully prepared their beach so it was a little rocky, nothing a pair of crocs/water shoes couldn’t fix. Highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a week away in the sun!

Beautiful resort

This resort was amazing . I have been to Cuba 23 times and this resort was the best. It was spotless in all areas. The food was good. The rooms were big and spotless. Every worker was very polite and helpful in any way you needed them. I will definitely be returning.

Absolutely Beutiful Resort

The staff were amazing, food was great and not lacking of anything. The rooms were beautiful and cleaned everyday.. The only downfall was the beach, but if you walked a little you can find an area where there are no rocks. I was told that this would be corrected. Also, you can catch the bus for $5 for day use, and go into town to the most amazing beach. Enjoy lunch, as well as check out the markets. We would definitely visit this location again, and have been checking out the prices for la [... read more]ter this year.

Beautiful new resort with mediocre beach

We vacationed at the Selectum Family Resort from April 13-20th. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The rooms are well equipped, having everything we needed including a nice hair dryer, iron and ironing board. Our housekeeper did a great job cleaning our room, including changing our towels when asked. We booked 4 a la cartes, Italian, Cuban, International and Italian again, all of them served delicious meals, including a birthday cake for dessert. Our server Teresa at the Italian restauran [... read more]t was an absolute sweetheart. Activities at the pool included bingo and name that tune/movie title. The entertainment team are very active and friendly. A big shoutout to our new buddy Jhoan and his crew. Unfortunately we are big beach people and the beach here didn't live up to our expectations, but this didn't stop us from basking in the sun while listening to the waves.(We knew the beach situation before booking but still gave it a try) You definitely need water shoes to enter the water, as there are alot of large rocks. As others have mentioned there is a clear spot to the left, it's few minute walk, however there are no chairs or palapas there. As for the pool area, it's in direct sunlight so you definitely need a spot with an umbrella or one of the palapas. They are saved quite early in the morning and we only managed to grab one once. They were building more as we were there. Service at all bars was top notch, although slow at times, but we were on vacation, so who cares. The day before we left was very busy, there were alot of locals visiting and having a blast. All in all we had a great time, the only reason we would not return is because of the beach. Oh, one other thing, the Varadero Hop On Hop Off bus changed their pricing, we were told by our Sunwing rep it was $5 CDN or US, well the lady on the bus taking the money said it was $7.50 CDN/$15 for 2 people. I couldn't help but think we were getting ripped off, considering they don't take any change. We went again 5 days later and she was only taking credit cards. Apparently she's lost too much money the last month due to exchange? I think she was trying to cash in on tourists. This had nothing to do with the resort but I wanted others to be aware.

Beautiful Resort

The food was limited but what was offered was really good. The fresh grilled fish at the buffet was a hit with my family. Our room had a hot water issue for the 1st couple days. Being a new resort you have to expect a few issues. With saying that, they were quick to resolve the issue. You will find the staff throughout the resort extremely friendly and willing to help with anything. My one concern was the lack of shade. With only one building currently open, I can’t imagine what it  [... read more]will be like to secure a shaded spot once the resort is at full capability. They would benefit from purchasing a few more umbrella for the pool area. The beach hasn’t been cleared of rocks, my understanding is this should be completed within the next few months. Overall we had a great week and will definitely stay here if and when we return to Cuba.

Lovely new and clean resort

Beautiful resort except food was not impressive amd the beach was terrible! Nothing but rocks and large hill of sand. Could not even walk on the beach. Very disappointed in that. Service was wonderful.
