Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Paradise Revisited

What do you think? Naviti, Varadero, Cuba is ideal for clean white, sandy beaches, clear waters, dry sunny days and breezy nights. It is where the sun rises and sets in full view beneath palm trees on beautifully cultivated grounds. The private beach offers quiet solitude enjoyed with a book and/or beer. It also offers opportunities to bask in the sun or lie in the shade while gazing at the limitless aquamarine sea - quite mesmerizing and relaxing with a cocktail. Customer service is goo [... read more]d for English speakers and better for affluent Spanish speakers - not surprising though nothing gratuity cannot resolve. Canadian travellers should be aware of what my globetrotting friends call "Cuban-ness", where visitors' concerns are addressed based on availability and urgency. For example, no air conditioning is considered urgent and mint for mojitos are subject to availablility. Cuba delivered on its promise of excellent weather rain or shine. The rain was warm, intense and brief which doesn't matter when you're already on the beach or in your suite. You may have to refresh your cocktail or enjoy it under the many shaded outdoor facilities; Cubans are most accommodating. Naviti also made connecting with fellow travellers easy and enjoyable. Some share juicy tidbits about their stay, their journey into Veradero's markets and clubs, diverse ways they enjoy haggling with merchants while others elected to keep to themselves. However, Naviti is a stand-alone resort with shopping opportunities, remarkable entertainment for adults and children (the Opera performaces in the lobby were outstanding!) and a bartender/server to help maximize one's getaway without needing to venture outside the resort. Naviti is a good experience for seven days. Canadians seeking to enjoy paradise without fuss, drink by the pool or at the beach and acquire a killer tan will thoroughly enjoy Naviti, Veradero - qualities in my first time resort experience that deserves a four star rating. Enjoy! Nova Vaughan-Burnett Toronto, Canada

Playa Pesquero: Great resort

Older but well kept, amazing beach, great snorkelling right from the beach. The À la carte restaurants were great, buffets pretty good for Cuba. They added over 50 palapas during our stay, so it was pretty easy to find some shade. Nice secluded bay on the left hand side to explore.

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Awesome Resort

I went with a group of 5 girlfriends, as we go to Cuba every year and try out a new Resort and we were totally impressed! Although there was a long distance from our room to the main building/lobby our room was like paradise over the ocean and you got a chance to wear off the food lol. Room was reasonable although a few issues that were never dealt with the oceanview made up for it. Powerful nice shower but it flooded the floor each time used, phone was not connected but who needs a phone! F [... read more]ood was good, as Cuban food is lol. The entertainment was great. And of course, what can you say about the ocean!!!! We all noticed all the work going on to continue with improving the resort.

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Take me back again!

Loved the lobby bar and Spanish coffers, one evenin their was a singer in the lounge and she was spectacular. Food was good and rooms were fair. Would definately vacation at the Naviti again. Front desk service needs to be improved and we had a few glitches (safe and toilet issues) but overall a grear experience. Twyla Harvey

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: has potential but trip was misrepresented

First off, we loved our oceanfront room except we had very little water daily to take a shower (ie just a trickle and you either had hot or cold water-nothing in between). The coffee bar was amazing and we loved the grounds and the beach and ocean was amazing. Food was as expected - with a little help and organization, the buffet would be superb. What we weren't happy with was: 1. we booked 8 nights which our trip central itinerary confirmed however our Sunwing receipt showed 7 nights and w [... read more]hen we attempted to resolve with Sunwing to ensure we were able to keep our room for our last night (our flight wasn't until 3:25am), we were told they only booked us for 7 nights, regardless of what our Trip Central itinerary said. ( I had copies with me). 2. When we booked via Trip Central, we specifically chose Oceanfront Beach Club Bungalows for the extra perks that came with that booking. When we inquired, we were advised that was old information and they no longer provided-very disappointing not to get what we paid for: *private check in (didn't happen) *special discounts on massages (didn't attempt to book) *private breakfast (didn't happen) *salsa classes (didn't happen) *1 bottle of room per stay/room upon arrival (didn't receive) *first priority reservation, restaurant a la carte (they refused) *unlimited a la carte restaurant (only permitted max 4 for our stay) *special BBQ dinner once per week (not offered) *Bar Mojito exclusive for clients of the beach club section (wasn't open) All in all we enjoyed our vacation but would be hesitant to book through Trip Central again as we did not get what we paid for.

Playa Pesquero: pristine resort

Beautiful sand and pool, abundance of food for all food types/medical conditions, rooms were clean and comfortable, staff were amazing, knowledgable, friendly. Resort was family friendly with excursions off resort if you desired. Safe to roam anywhere, was up till 3:30 first night and didn't have any issues. Travelled with 9 other people ranging in all from 30-70 years of age and there was things to do for all of the group. It is a resort that I would recommend to other family and friends [... read more].

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Nice facility

Resort looks great, main hotel areas look beautiful, however, we got a room with no A/C nor any hot water, was unacceptable had to battle with reception to get another room, after that all went well. Food was good and found one waitress that gave us wonderful service. Took tour to Havana and Jeep excursion, both well worth it. Our Sunwing rep was great ! Overall good holiday

Playa Pesquero: Huge Resort

This resort is very large, spread out over a large area so lots of walking, nice pool, and a very nice beach. The buffets are fairly good but the food in the trays are cool. I feel this hotel is great for the younger set, lots of noise, etc.

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Its amazing resort

Its need à Little beat repair for the bathroom in the lobby, needs Some music at the beach but for the service at the réception, buffet, bar its very good all overall i recommand this resort the staff Was amazing and help full

Playa Pesquero: Good for Cuba

I'm never one to expect more or less than I pay for. That being said, the beach was awesome, the food was good...very good at ala cartes. The lobby are was being painted when we left. The room we were in could use a renovation on the bathroom...but other than that...good time. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was clean. Viva Cuba!

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Good resort

The grounds were very well kept but there needs to be a lot of upgrades to this hotel. The main lobby was beautiful but the WIFI was very poor, it would take a long time to connect just to send a message and it would drop halfway through the message and needed to reconnect again. I would rate this hotel around a 3 1/2 stars. A few of the front lobby staff were not customer service friendly and their English was poor, I wished I knew more Spanish because they talked at lot in Spanish but o [... read more]f course it is their country. The bathrooms in the main lobby had three stalls in the women's bathroom and only one toilet had a seat. I think toilet paper is gold there because very seldom there was any in the stalls. The food was better than I expected and I always went to where the food was being cooked in front of me at the buffet and most of the staff were friendly.

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Very nice

We arrived at naviti April 2. We had an amazing time. The hotel was well redone and was appealing to look out. We heard a few people complain about their rooms however we had no problems. Our room was always clean. The only complaint I had about the rooms is they did not provide beer in the fridge or soft drinks. You only received a bottle of water each day. We never had to fight for a beach chair or a chair by the pool. There was always entertainment going on for all ages. Most staff were very [... read more] excellent and took the time to speak to you. The food overall was very good together! I would recommend this to someone not looking to pay a lot but still have a nice place to take vacation

Playa Pesquero: Incredible Spot! You will love it!

Playa Pesquero is truly a gem! The staff go out of their way for you, the beach is gorgeous, no bugs to speak of, 7 restaurants, fabulous pools; and it is huge!! Great value for the money! The resort is clean, the main lobby relaxing, there are shows in the evenings, and despite its massive size, the bell boys are always available if you need a lift. Snorkeling, Hobby Cats, a kids play area, gym with hot tubs, tennis, a huge new bouncy castle, water aerobics, dance lessons, and then there ar [... read more]e excursions too! You won't be disappointed.

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Very Nice Resort

I was pleasantly surprised when I woke up (arrived after dark) to a beautiful ocean view. The desk clerk was very friendly and we got to our room with no stress.. The room was nice and clean and the air conditioning was great. I wasn't in the main building and was very happy about this because there are renovations going on and it was very busy. I found the food good. There wasn't a meal that I couldn't find something I enjoyed. The staff was helpful and friendly. The beach wasn't as clea [... read more]n as I would have liked.. lots of broken plastic, cigarette butts but I realize this is because the tourists are messy! All in all my stay was good and I would go back to this hotel

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: I WILL GO BACK!!!

I don't have one negative thing to say about this resort! The staff were friendly and helpful, rooms clean, food good, beach was incredible!!! I will be back!!! I was travelling with my elderly mother, who also loved it and she can be hard to please at times. First vacation ever where I don't have even 1 complaint!!!!

Playa Pesquero: Some Great, some not so great

Although this hotel had some great things going for it, like the Beer Garden, Mojito Bar, Beach and Pool area, the overall sense from my group of 5 was that it was really getting dated. The rooms were small and had some pest issues. The food was typically Cuban, but you certainly don't go to Cuba for the food. You could always find something to eat that was ok, perhaps even good but never great. The biggest issue with this resort was that it was too big. If you get this resort for the right [... read more] price, it's probably not a bad option.

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Fantastic!

The rooms were very clean and updated. Tv worked great and soo did the fridge and air conditioning . Amazing beaches and very helpful staff. The food was very good not much variety but still yummy and the grounds are kept very clean over all great trip

Sirenis Tropical Varadero: Better than expected

Hotel was beautiful. Good job on the renovations. Our 1 bdrm suite was lovely. Entrance section would have been better served as the coffee/fridge area vs chairs and table that would not be used. Couch and TV in main living area were fine. Lucked out and got top floor with ocean view. Balcony was large and patio door actually worked and locked! Resort very clean; grounds beautiful and well kept. Staff wonderful and helpful. Palapas at the pool could have been bigger; hard to find shade. Food so [... read more]-so; needs to be upgraded to match the rest of the resort but you won't go hungry. Overall one of the best trips I've had and I would stay there again.

Playa Pesquero: Beautiful Resort. Great food.

Fantastic resort. Service was great. Loved the atmosphere at the beer garden. Kid friendly but adult fun at the same time. Food was great for Cuba and they had ketchup, salt, and pepper at the tables. One thing is they were renovating which was a bit of an eye sore, but just means this will be an even better resort in the future.

Playa Pesquero: Just perfect for us!

Found the hotel to be perfect for a relaxing, do nothing, vacation! Food was very good...lobster and shrimp every day, but a good steak difficult to find. Beach is fabulous, pool is just as amazing! Drinks were better than expected especially the coffee coach and the liquor cart in the lobby. I would not recommend this resort to anyone who wants to be touring a lot from the hotel....not much in the area. Water sports are limited as well...big swells not far off shore so novice sailors, like [... read more] my husband and myself were a bit intimidated. All in all, we really enjoyed this vacation and will definitely be returning.
