Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Best Resort in Cuba

Rooms are spacious and quiet. Resort is spacous and everyting is in working order. I've stayed here twice now. The staff are friendly. There are multiple bars. They all have good service. The food is so so, but okay. You don't go to Cuba for great quizine. The clientel are primarily Canadian. It's a relaxing adult only atmosphere. Tennis rackets and tennis balls are available. But hunting them down can be a challange.

Blau Varadero: Loved it!

Everything was great, I can’t wait to go again. Everything from the drinks to food, rooms and hotel itself was awesome. The vibe is super chill. Best resort in Varadero. Anyone that goes will love it!

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Another wonderful holiday!

Just returned from the Paradisus Princesa del Mar in Varadero. Weather was fabulous, best mango daiquiri ever in the Piano Bar and best show cooking ever in the Japanese restaurant. This hotel and staff have such amazing spirit and are very welcoming towards Canadians, the Canada night spread was marvelous. We will definitely be returning to this hotel, and we thank Tammy from TripCentral for helping us organize our trip so well, as she always does.

Playa Vista Azul: Amazing trip

Great beach and the staff is awesome. The room need better mattress. And more services at the table in the buffets. Sometime when we were at sit no one ask us for a Coffee or water and we wait too long for just a pop.

Resonance Musique Varadero: Great girls trip

We stayed here for 2 weeks in April and we had a great trip.Staff were great and weather was amazing.Blu side is a little quieter if you wanna relax.Always something going on at pool on Musique side.Beach was absolutely beautiful.Staff work so hard and always had a smile on their faces.Only thing I would suggest is more lightening on walk ways.

Playa Vista Azul: Love this Resort

am a repeat guest at this resort. I have stayed as both standard and premium. My preference is premium. I have made friends who are now my family. The rooms are spacious and clean, thank you Maricela and Regal!! The food is good, no complaints. There are many choices such as pizza, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, bacon, butter, chicken pork, pasta, etc...Thank you Katia and crew at the Coral. With a variety of drinks always being refreshed by a wonderful team of bartend [... read more]ers. Carlos, Lisbet, Yos, Onay, Jimmy and Livia will keep you thirst quenched and always with a smile. Big shout out the the Premium staff who go above and beyond to make sure your vacation is the best it can be. Arasay, Yuri, Diana and team are amazing. Anything you need, just ask they will do their best to make it happen. And we can't forget about Jose at the front desk with his big beautiful smile and of course the 5 gardeners who keep the grounds looking amazing. They will even climb a tree to get a fresh coconut for a Pina Colada if ya ask nice. I highly recommend this resort and look forward to returning to visit "family" ,friends and beautiful Cuba. Don't forget to try the Chocolate Tequila, so good as a shot or in an iced coffee.

Blau Varadero: Absolutely Wonderful Resort

The whole resort is so clean and the staff is amazing. Karl the Food & Service Manager seemed liked he worked 14 hours a day!! The food was well stocked and great flavour. We would come back again for sure.

Hotel Bella Costa: Amazing 2 week stay

We can not find anything wrong with this resort as it was our 19th time going there. They have made it more accessible for people with disabilities. I really hope they make some of the rooms as in bathrooms more accessible for disability people example walk in showers. We took my shower stool with us and it worked. I know people say there is no food in Cuba well we totally disagree with that statement. There is so much great food you can’t go hungry or if you do you are too fussy. Can’t wait f [... read more]or next year.

Melia Las Americas: Great resort

We came back from this resort last week. It was our first time in Melia Las Americas, and our impression of this resort was good. We booked The Level. Grounds of this resort look very nice. The ocean is absolutely amazing, crystal clear and warm but a bit wavy. The beach is good. We were spending all mornings at the beach, and afternoons at the swimming pool. The swimming pool areas have been well-maintained, and pools are clean and look great. There were not that many people at the resort, and  [... read more]we never felt crowded by people. We could always find launches, and staff at the beach was bringing us launch cushions as soon as we were coming. Our room was very spacious and practically looked like an apartment. Beds were comfortable, and bed linens clean. Room cleaning service was not bad, but in our opinion, cleaning personnel should do a better job. Food and drinks and their selection at the resort were just okay (which was expected and didn't affect our impression of the vacation); however, pizza at Limoncello for lunch was outstanding :) We very rarely eat pizza in general, but we really enjoyed it at Limoncello and highly recommend to try it. Customer service at the resort is decent but has room for improvement. Will we return? Probably, yes. Melia Las Americas is a beautiful place to stay if you need a nice and tranquil getaway at the ocean.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Catfished by Sunwing

What a dump! The place is falling apart right before your eyes. Every single night that my son and I were there, the a la carte restaurants were “fully booked”. During Easter long weekend when the price to travel was $1500 each per person, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THIS RESORT THAT WAS BARELY AT CAPACITY COULD ACCOMMODATE US ON AT LEAST ONNNNNNNE OF OUR NIGHTS WITH A PROPER MEAL!!! NOPE!!! I’m not kidding when I say I starved while we were there. My son was ok with the buffet because he’s only little [... read more]. Hey, at least I’m skinny again! (Not even laughing or joking). What a disaster! Avoid avoid avoid! Go to Holguin or Cayo Coco if you’re desperate for Cuba. Everything about this trip sucked. NOBODY was having a good time. Not even the drunk man who walked through poo water in the leaky washroom then walked right through the kiddie pool! That guy was so unhappy! Ha!

Memories Jibacoa: Fabulous Resort

Absolutely Love this resort . The staff is super friendly and helpful. Very clean rooms and the grounds are kept nice. Food is great , lots of variety, with 3 a la carts and also the Buffett. The beach is really nice with lots of shade and sun for which ever you prefer. Totally recommend this resort . Excellent

Starfish Jibacoa: Repeat Guests

This was our 13th trip to this resort. The staff is by far the best asset. They work very hard and are very pleasant. We enjoy the small size, the beach and relaxing atmosphere. The room was comfortable and clean. We noted more food shortages this year - butter, milk, coffee, ice cream, bacon, cookies. Buffet was the same every day. We miss the a la carte and the repeaters’ dinner. The entertainment was repetitive. The clientele has changed with the majority being Cubans now. Fewer Canadians see [... read more]m to be staying there.

Sol Palmeras: Our Home Away From Home

We love Sol Palmeras! This was our 17th visit there and it's like being with family and friends, which is why we keep returning. The premises keep getting better and better. All of the guest rooms in the main hotel have been completed renovated. Constant improvements to the grounds keep it modern. A new bar is currently being built, scheduled to be completed later this year, and is going to be awesome. A new children's play area is nearly completed. The pool areas and pools are constantly bei [... read more]ng kept clean. The spectacular beach is not to be missed. There are several wonderful places to eat with very varied nd delicious choices of foods. All locations are kept very clean and pleasant. But, above all, the staff are all top notch! Friendly, professional, conscientious, knowledgeable and very kind. We had the honour of being married at Sol Palmeras several years ago and, because we still love it so much there, continue to return every year to celebrate our anniversary.

Sol Palmeras: Our home away from home

The Hotel has done a lot of upgrades over the last 4 years. All the rooms have been updated and are very nice. The food was varied and plentiful. The grounds and beach was wonderful. The staff is excellent

Grand Aston Varadero Beach Resort: Grand Astor Beach Resort

The hotel itself, grounds and rooms were nice. The public areas of the hotel were well maintained and clean. Buffet food - served the same food everyday and shortage of food was very noticeable. Service at the buffet was non existing. You couldn’t get clean spoons, cups and sometimes even drinks. Buffet servers and waiters are not friendly at all. Our room was not cleaned until around 4 pm everyday and on some days we couldn’t get clean towels at all and had to ask for toilet paper. Most day [... read more]s there was no toilet paper available in public washrooms in the resort. Front reception staff are not very friendly and if you gave a complaint, you have to wait in line to speak to someone from guest services as to t desk staff won’t help you. Entertainment was excellent and waiters in the lobby were good and friendly. Swimming pool floor is very slippery and need to be careful when walking so not to fall.

Starfish Jibacoa: Rapidly declined

Use to consider this place mini paradise but since last year it has become vary run down and poorly managed. Staff are all amazing but place needs some urgent fixing as value for the money is no longer. Rooms are moldy and musty smelling. Blood splatters from mosquitoes all over he walls, sheets and towels, boogers on the wall, paint peeling, mold. My room had no closet doors. A/c filter had so much gunk and mold and looks like haven’t been cleaned in years. Food was always cold, shortages of  [... read more]some basic stuff. Resort is over crowded with local visitors. Line ups at the buffet are just horrible and poorly managed. It was so crowed entire week that they had to close down dining room As it was at capacity on few occasion and run out of food items. It is worse now than post Covid in 2022. Pool looked and smelled worse then swamp

Melia Internacional: A decent resort

Nice beach, red flag most of our week. Food not great, no pizza bar , minimal French fries, a la carts not the best, booze would be a 3 star. Lots of food, just not great food. No need to upgrade to level. Save yourself the $$

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Average resort

Not going to write a big text but to sum up, the value does not match the price I paid. Terrible service, bad rooms with broken doors, toilet and windows. No one speaks basic english there and they dont even care because I had many issues and had a hard time getting help. Food was average but we know it is Cuba. Dont recommend this resort unless you pay around 500 per person...felt more like a 3 star than a 5 star

Memories Jibacoa: Memories Jibacoa is our favorite all-inclusive by far

Amazing staff, amenities, food, and a feeling of being safe. We made friends there, and would happily return for another enjoyable trip. If you ever want to go to Cuba, this is the place to go. It is an adults only resort

Resonance Musique Varadero: Choose another resort

The one good thing about the resort I have to say were the rooms were nice. But....there was theft on the resort by security and staff as well. We even got it on picture and they still denied it. The food wasn't good at all. We were promised 2 a la carte suppers but when we got there, their were no availabilities in any of them but a $20 would get you in though. Fights on the resort (not the resort's fault) but security would look laugh and turn away.. guests had to break it up. You didn't f [... read more]eel safe at all on this resort. Very poor service, service staff were miserable, all alcoholic drinks were watered down. Many other complaints but to much to list.. I've been to Cuba before and loved it but now after this experience I will not return. Very disappointed.
