Melia Peninsula Varadero: Beautiful resort

I was at Melia Peninsula from Oct 7 to 14 2016. The resort was spoteless, beautiful and with one of the nicest staff I have ever met. The beaches was not the nicest since there a bank of sand, I much rather have flat beaches. The food was excellent, but a bit of the same everyday but never the less very good!! One thing kinda bother me on my last day..as I was checking out at noon on Friday, I ask to keep my beach towel til maybe 3:30- 4:00pm to use the pool since I wasn't being pick up at the  [... read more]hotel before 6:30....but to be able to keep my towel I had to surrender my passeport to the front desk..i was surprise the hotel would have such policy..you NEVER surrender your passport and any time. I was disappointed by the event! I hope one day to return to the Melia Peninsula!! Thank you for a nice vacation week!! Harvey!

Melia Las Dunas: Best resort ever.

Had an excellent vacation here. The standard of this resort is admirable and a close attention to detail makes for comfort and enjoyment. The staff are warm and friendly and all seem willing to go the extra mile. The grounds are extensive and perfectly maintained. The food is good especially the a la carte restaurants. Rather than pile your plate high at the buffet decide ahead of time what you want to eat. The chances are you will find it available from the selection of eateries available. I es [... read more]pecially enjoyed the fresh fish and seafood selection. Lots of guests from all over the world. A lot of large family groups but rarely was noise an issue. The beach is also well serviced by the resort but the rising level of the ocean is taking its toll on the gorgeous beach.

Hotel Camino del Mar: Amazing resort

Very nice resort with lots of palms, big garden, clean and very friendly staff. Customer service was amazing. Rooms are decent for what you pay. Good family resort. Food was good with lots of meals to choose from.

Melia Buenavista: Great resort

The only thing that could use a little help is the variety of food offered. The stuff they did serve was surprisingly tastey! We would definitely go back for the beaches and the quiet atmosphere. The rooms were clean and the snorkeling was good also.

Melia Cayo Santa Maria: Love Cuba!!

This was my 25th time to cuba! This hotel was top notch! People and food were great! I would recommend it and also go back myself! The only thing I didn't like was the trip from the airport! It's very long and stops at every hotel! Other then that I have nothing but good things to say about this resort! It would be nice to go back and see all the renovations they were working on while we were there!!

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: amazing hotel!!!

very beautiful hotel, all inclusive, pools are big - there is a bar inside the pool you can order drinks. there is a great beach that belong to the hotel with barband service, we had exercise inside the ocean with the crew members, and a pool party one day. the food is very good, there is a snack bar open 24/7 very nice. in our last day the bus arrive only at 19:00 to the air port, and we didnt feel so good so they give us a room that we can rest although we did check out before. to summary exce [... read more]lent hotel very recomnded!!!

Melia Las Antillas: Very Nice

Very well located - 15 minutes out of Varadero. Resort is becoming dated but clean and well maintained. Food was over expectations. Staff, as expected, genuinely friendly and cordial. All in all a very pleasant experience.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Loved this Resort

This was my 2nd time in Varadero but my 1st time at this resort. I will definitely return as the hotel was far beyond my expectations. I loved the layout of the resort, all amenities were easily accessable. The staff were so friendly and go out of your way to help in any way they can. The food is usually not what people go to Cuba for but I thoroughly enjoyed the food there. The Cuban and Japanese restaurants were excellent. Book early because they fill up fast. I don't know the name of the cook [... read more] who made omelettes at the buffet but he made the best ones I've ever had. We loved both the beach & the pool areas. The snack bar right above the pool make excellent thin crust pizzas. Overall, I was impressed. I am already planning a trip to go back.

Melia Las Dunas: Good time!

I thought the hotel lobby was beautiful but the rooms were dated. Staff were very friendly and any issues we had were solved in a timely manner. Loved the beach and the pool, spent lots of time in both places!! Buffet and bbq dining were my favourites. Can't say much for the a la carte dining. The only place I enjoyed was the pizzeria. Had to go back to buffet after other a la carte as I did not enjoy the food. Were not told about other amenities on resort, like bowling, disco, market, etc [... read more]. Had to find out about them from other guests and at that point it was too late to visit as things got closed down because of hurricane warnings. We are returning back there in January for a destination wedding event and I am looking forward to visiting again.

Melia Las Dunas: Good Times

We stayed at this hotel for a wedding. Despite the threat of Hurricane Matthew, we had great weather and a very good time. The hotel is quite dated and the food is average. Having said that, the staff makes all the difference. A big shout out to JAVIER, the bartender at the adult pool, SANDY, the waiter at the buffet restaurant, and the ladies in the gift shop - BARBARA and JAYNELLE. These individuals always had a smile for us and went out of their way to do whatever they could to make our  [... read more]stay memorable. They were AWESOME!

Melia Marina Varadero: Beautiful resort

The hotel itself and swimming pools were gorgeous. Our room was on the fourth floor with a big balcony that looked out at the whole picture perfect scenery. However, being that the beaches are starting to be developed I was not very impressed.

Memories Cayo Largo: Best Family Vacation

The attention by the Staff at Sol Cayo Largo made our stay wonderful. You cannot beat it for value. It is Cuba so don't expect Ruth Chris steaks or anything but the food was very good and enjoyed by all. Activities great.

Sol Varadero Beach: Good beach, old resort!

We got a great deal on a 4 nights stay at this hotel. The beach was really great! But the hotel is getting a bit old, and repairs are sloppy. Hence its probably a great place if you don't plan to relax in your room too much. The most annoying thing is that they only provide 1 bottle of water a day. Expensive alcohol like champagne and Havana club 7yr old were free but rare at the bar.

Melia Marina Varadero: Had fun at the resort!

Melia Marina just outside of DT Varadero is where we stayed! Cuba is a totally different culture from North America so you must expect the differences! The resort rated as 4.5 star was certainly not what we consider a 4.5 in our standards but people were so accommodating and wonderful that all was accepted as an excellent vacation! Same with Cuban food, different from our standards but most things have to be imported so good from my perspective! Scare of Hurricane Matthew was upon us, but Wes [... read more]tjet Rep, Israel, relieved my fears as we were far enough away and it did not affect us in the least!! All in all, a great vacation!

Sol Varadero Beach: Nice resort

I had a great time.the serinas side was closed for renovations.but. the coral side was nice .very friendly staff..the food was great.my room was clean. Beach is nice.not crowded.but wish the had ashtrays on there tables.people put there cigarettes anywhere.. Staff were very helpful. Watch out for the sand fleas after it rains..

Melia Marina Varadero: Wonderful and Amazing Resort and Vacation

The hotel was great. The staff were very friendly and cooperative. The room was spacious. The menu were slightly different every day. The food were more Creole Style. We enjoyed the flavors of the food and no "MSG" in the food. There were chicken, beef, pork, lamb, rabbit and fish. The restaurant by the beach served up a great lunch. The snack bar at the pool served sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, fries, Ice cream and coctails. It was one of the best vacation we had.

Melia Jardines del Rey: Would Definitely Go Back!

I found the resort to be exactly what I expected...clean, accommodating and very friendly staff. They totally went out of their way to make sure that our stay was as enjoyable as it possibly could be. I would definitely go back!

Melia Las Antillas: Amazing resort

We have visited this resort Sep.23-30, 2016. Checked in without delay. Have got room in block 6700 the first from the beach. Ground/landscaping very good maintained. Room was clean not a five star but everything was functional. Amazing with sand beach well maintained. No problem with beach towels. Three restaurants were to visit.(Cuban, Italian, European cuisines). Main for every day restaurant had air conditions with dissent varieties of food and clean. Staff was very respectful.

Melia Jardines del Rey: Great resort

Our room was in bungalow 25. It seemed to be very updated and house keeping did a great job everyday. We were right behind the "quiet pool" with a snack bar that was open for lunch. We were also only steps away from the lobby, which was very convenient as we were travelling with children. Our building was also across from the gym and 24 hr doctor, (who was fantastic!), and unfortunately we did have to see in the middle of the night. Our only complaint with this building is that it is very close  [... read more]to the disco that had very loud, outdoor parties till after 2am on Thursday and Saturday while we were there. Guest services was very apologetic about the noise, but because the disco is not actually part of the resort, there was not much more they could do. Others in our group had originally been put in bungalow 14, which was near the beach, beach bar and restaurant. They said it was very dirty upon arrival and their view was a mud field, which gave off a pretty unpleasant smell. They immediately moved to our bungalow. The a la carte restaurants we booked (oriental, Italian, cuban) were not that great, but we had no problem going to the buffet as they had good selection and was actually really good food...and not just to Cuban resort standards! Of all Cuban resorts I've been to, this was by far the best I've had. Very pleasantly surprised. The grounds and pools, from what we saw, we're very well maintained. We did have rain a few of the nights, so the lobby did get a bit slippery with flip flops. However the workers were always doing a great job to clean it up quickly. All the workers we encountered were always pleasant. We got to know our usual restaurant servers and they would even save our table in the buffet. Tips were never expected, but always very appreciated. Cayo Coco has great beaches and nice scenery. We did spend a few hours in the town of Moron (about an hour away) for a bit of shopping and some lunch. I don't know if I would bother to do that again as you wouldn't spend more than a few hours there which I couldn't been at the beach instead. As for the beach though, bring water shoes. There are a few feet of rocks as you walk in the water, but if you have shoes, you'll be able to enjoy the beach no problem. Overall we really loved the resort and have very few complaints.

Melia Las Antillas: Beautiful Hotel

The hotel was very beautiful, I was impressed. The grounds were gorgeous, meticulous. The pool was nice, but I personally love the ocean. Veradero Beach is in the top of best beaches in the world! Loved the room, cute, little step down living room. Liked the vanity outside of the washroom, great maid service. Excellent coffee at the Lobby cafe!!! Bought some to take home. The only thing I didn't like were a few rude servers. Also the tipping, it's outrageous! It's all inclusive! Everyone h [... read more]ad their hand out constantly. I couldn't afford that!! It said no kids which I prefer, however I didn't expect it to be dead!!! Not a party resort, FYI! No swim up bar :( I call it the resort of the newly wed and nearly dead!
