Punta Peninsula Varadero: Enjoyable Vacation

Our rooms were clean, the ocean and beach was beautiful and the food was decent. Be careful of the mosquito they like Canadian blood. The entertainment at night and in the afternoon was good. We enjoyed our trip.

Punta Peninsula Varadero: Great location but lacking in customer service

The facility was well laid out to give a feeling of spaciousness. Our room was fantastic: looked out on the ocean, a rare thing in most resorts. The beach was great and was always kept clean. The rooms, however, were not cleaned daily, the minibar was not restocked with water if there was a little left in the fridge, and towels were in short supply. I was awakened at midnight by a knock at the door: it was housekeeping delivering clean towels. I frequently had to hunt up housekeeping to get toil [... read more]et paper, towels, water etc. Entertainment was good, but some of it was not advertised, so we would catch the end of something that we would have enjoyed.

Muthu Colonial Hotel: Cayo Coco

Nice resort for a 3*, beautiful old architecture. Great staff, front desk, wait staff, cleaning staff. Meals - typically Cuban, nothing fantastic but sufficient. Room was nice, lots of space, clean. Sunwing counter staff at the airport put us in separate rows on the plane and the plane wasnt full. They let us move once the plane was all loaded.

Muthu Colonial Hotel: good bang for the buck!

beach was well maintained (raked) and pool clean rooms clean but walks and buildings getting need of repair food was OK and but you always got something good to eat and drink. bartenders, waitress, & cleaners ALL great!

Punta Peninsula Varadero: Sun and Sand but Be Prepared

Love the beach with gorgeous ocean view. Enjoyed the good pool area with a delish pina colada. Food is very bland but there's a great omelette bar for breakfast, and pasta bar for supper. Yummy cappuccinos at main bar. Entertainment is very poor. Bring toilet paper and tissues; paper products in Cuba are scarce, trust me! Towels are only replaced once per week, bring extra for shower and beach. Very humid so difficult to dry wet towels. rooms are large but don't expect North American cleanliness [... read more]. People are friendly. If you're paying three figures, go, but go prepared!

Blau Varadero: Very nice resort

My husband and I just came back from a wonderful vacation at the Blau Varadero. We had a very good time and no complaints. The staff and the food are excellent. I even receive a small birthday cake, what a nice touch would go back anytime

Aston Costa Verde Beach Resort: Had a great time

The hotel rooms need an upgrade. Water leaked from the ceiling on the way to the washrooms by the reception area. Bar service in the lobby is good and timely. Food was good, delicious fish, great service if you tip.

Muthu Colonial Hotel: Amazing Resort

Hotel Colonial, Cayo Coco is a WOnDERFUL resort. Great rooms, good entertainment, great food choices, fabulous customer relations, wonderful staff. Will go back again and again and again. You get hooked!. 15 minutes from the airport!! Very safe, even for women travelling alone.

Punta Peninsula Varadero: Amazing Birthday Trip!

The resort is perfect for the combination of relaxation but also those that want to have some fun. The resort was in good condition, food was good and the people are really nice and fun. Enjoy the trip!

Muthu Colonial Hotel: Fantastic

They are working every day at keeping this beautiful Hotel to its original quality. All in all everything about this Hotel is wonderful. The beach is kept very clean. The Gardens are beautiful. All areas are looked after always. Friendly people make the resort and great food......

Punta Peninsula Varadero: Loved the Blau

Enjoyed my stay at this open air hotel, staff always nice and helpful. Entertainment exceeded my expectations and food was better than I anticipated. Rooms starting to show a little age, nice location

Muthu Colonial Hotel: Amazing Service

Overall, this resort was great. The staff was awesome. Rooms were clean, food was good and entertainment was a bonus. The only down fall, was the hot water situation, but this can happen at any resort..

Muthu Colonial Hotel: Lovely vacation

Hotel is in excellent condition after having been neglected at the end of its Blau days. Magnificent beach, great pools. Best part is the location, just 15 minutes from the airport. Overall good trip, I would go back

Punta Peninsula Varadero: Not what I expected

The rooms were the worst, they smelled like mold. The beds were very old and had stapled tge material that was falling apart. The pillow was a piece of foam folded in half.The food wasn't the greatest. The grounds were good. The lobby lounge bar was the best especially the bartenders Michael and Fernando. The beach was nice except for the seaweed at the edge of the beach.

Aston Costa Verde Beach Resort: one of my best vacations ever!

The hotel was clean and always trying to get better. Friendly staff and always helpful, They don't try to nickel and dime you to death. For example I lost my key card 3 times and they gladly replaced it, with no charge! To all who complain about the food, I am a professional chef with 30 years in the business and although the beef was a little tough it was all very tasty, fresh and a good variety. The only exception was the 24 hour snack bar, but let's face it at 3 in the morning choices are goi [... read more]ng to be limited and might not be the best but your probably not making positive choices at that time anyway, lol. The ala carte restaurant food was wonderful. Delightful and delicious! The cuban people are what make the vacation exceptional go for a stroll off the resort and take some stuff to give away, we took work gloves, candy, school supplies, lipstick, mascara, geometry sets, sun glasses and some other bits of Canadian stuff. I have never seen more gratitude and wonderful responses from a people in my life. We were invited to a Party at a Cuban locals home where the neighborhood used probably most of their rations to throw a party and Dinner for us it was heartwarming to see such a genuine and honest caring people. The beach was clean and white sand the consistency of flour, The water was warm and beautiful turquoise blue. No one on the beach trying to sell you stuff. at the public or private beach. The only downfall was the public toilets, because the island has no plastic factory toilet seats are rare (not at the resort they had nice washrooms) just in public toilets. Take your own toilet paper as there is about a 100 percent chance of no paper in the bathrooms. A special shout out to the front desk staff who had to deal with two canceled flights and had to find room for a huge amount of unexpected guests. They were professional and quick. Yurizan from the swim up bar amazing job! G man( Gary) awesome job! Mikael from the cigar shack, great job! The entertainment at night was professional and entertaining, they had real bands and shows by real entertainers, Most resorts I've been to have cheesy entertainment not so at the Blau Coste verde. A few of my friends had some issues with mosquitoes but they were selective as I didn't get one bite my entire stay go figure, so as a precaution bring some bug spray (good advice on any holiday)

Punta Peninsula Varadero: Blau resort

The staff were great. My room ...the phone and tv did not work. The beach was closed 3 days and water sports were only allowed for 4 days. Food was okay ...chocolate ice cream and pizza at the lighthouse was yummy. Cuban dinner was great! Bathroom lobby had no soap and was out of toliet paper a lot. Lots of mosquito's and sand fleas ...the price is going up because of American dollar...not worth it at 2000plus vs Mexico where you will get sun and better food. As the price goes up for Cuba...the  [... read more]value goes down vs other resorts. In food and weather.

Aston Costa Verde Beach Resort: Attractive resort

We enjoyed the variety of restaurants. The food was good, buffet usually included lots of variety, attractively presented. We particularly liked bar near the pool, and the restaurant near the beach. The pool area is very appealing with lots of loungers and shady spots. The landscaping generally is very appealing. The beach is nice, though usually rather crowded. We loved being able to snorkel off the beach. Staff are friendly and helpful, though lineups (to book restaurants etc) can be long and  [... read more]slow, and information re. opening times was inaccurate or contradictory at times. Beware of rooms around the atrium area; they can be very noisy in the evenings. Rooms are large, pleasant and very clean, and our request for a mattress topper (to help with a hip problem; the beds are very firm!) was very promptly anwered with a super comfy foam pad on the bed.

Muthu Colonial Hotel: Older resort, rooms were kept exceptionally clean

Maintenance of grounds is above other resorts in area. Beach area was cleaned, raked daily, lots of new shade palapas were being built. Excellent beach area, lots of nice sand. Older resort just needs a little extra maintenance for small details, eg. fixing of some sidewalks, paths. A la carte restaurants were exceptional.

Aston Costa Verde Beach Resort: Good times!

Good food, friendly staff and tasty drinks...very relaxing. Beach was a bit rocky and littered with debris. Room was clean and tidy. Plus side of this resort was well worth it. Enjoyed the VIP bar and a la cartels.

Punta Peninsula Varadero: Very Nice

We were given a beautiful room with a great view of the ocean. Our air conditioner didn't work and we had two double beds pulled together, instead of a king size. The mattress was well worn out. The beaches of Varadero are beautiful. The food isn't exactly great, but it is all you can eat and you can soon find out what you like. Our Cuban hosts were absolutely the best! Entertainment every night. A marina with several stores were right across the street from our resort. The weather wasn't great  [... read more]for the last four days of our trip, but we enjoyed the tropicl heat. We went on a Jeep Safari one day when it was raining. There is lots to do if the weather is unkind, however these cost extra. We were dissapointed with the CUC peso exchange rate. They consider their CUC peso at par with the American dollar. Our Canadian dollar was only worth $.68 for one CUC. Can you say, ripoff? However it is their country, and for great service with a Cuban smile as well as safety, there is non better. We did have to wait three days to get a beach towel as well.
