Melia Peninsula Varadero: So many things, differently not a 4 star

Our first impression it was beautiful in the lobby. The bell hop’s was taking our bags to a different room. Had to yell at him from the ground to the 3rd floor of building. Finally get to our room had no bathroom door, electrical problems, plugs coming from wall, no power, tv worked some days. No lights in walkway from 1st floor to our 3rd floor had to call 3 times through the week. Went to the front desk to complain they said room under renovations never offered us another room. Waiting on  [... read more]light bulb. No screen door. Paid for the extra “ elegance club” not worth it had to call every other day to fill fridge. The staff was amazing. Couldn’t speak much English. Our map of the resort only in French German and Spanish (no English) had 3 la cart French was horrible. Noticed waitress used women’s washroom didn’t wash her hands then went back to work in the Japanese restaurant next to the French. Had the Italian just ok. The Japanese was great Experience. Went to the beach beautiful, beach bar was horrible no power, no music, unsanitary. Went to the pool bar same thing rinsed cups under tap water reused cups for the people. Just using a drink blender to make drinks. Ask for drinks and their not consistent. Food was ok, some was cold. Or uncooked. Some of the washrooms had no seat to seat on the toilet. My daughter scratched the wifi to much crying I mentioned to the front desk is their a problem with these cards? Never offered me to buy another card for 1 peso for a hour found out on our last day you can buy cards. daughter crying that she ruined it for us. Also the Activity’s and bar club were not operating due to lack of demand. Which to me their was lots of people looking to dance and activities. As we were their with my 2 children first time away. we made the best of it.

Starfish Cuatro Palmas: Cubish Delight!

Simply amazing. Rooms could use updating but we had no problems whatsoever. Easy access to incredible beach. Staff more than helpful. Location perfect, close to many restaurants, bars and parks. Stayed in economy section and to our surprise, breakfast buffet was just a few steps away.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Great pre-Christmas vacation

The resort was very well laid out...beautiful resort with everything easily accessible. The pools were all great, as was the beach. Our bedroom was nice and big, although the bed was very uncomfortable and not good for my back. The food was very average, but the staff was excellent.

Hotel Bella Costa: Bella Costa

This was my sons first trip and he is 12. We met great people on the flight, bus and while checking in. He made excellent friends. The resort was great for kids as not huge so kids could easily be found when off playing. Lots of activities to do especially with all the water sport equipment. Famiilies all enjoyed the staff taking them out on cataramans for small tip to go out and enjoy snorkeling. The beach was beautiful. No one went hungry as always drinks and food available.

Muthu Playa Varadero: Need Maintenance Resort

All grounds, public area and rooms need maintenance work.The first day the safe did not work (lack of batteries), no hot water, we had a leak from the ceiling and had a big black cockroach in the room. All of this during a 4 nights stay.

Paradisus Varadero: Amazing service

Great value and high end at the same time. Second time there and will be going back next year Amenities are clean and we'll organized. Child care service is amazing. 200 words is too much for any hotel review.

Grand Memories Varadero: Amazing resort

Really nice resort with great service, friendly staffs and a very well maintained rooms. 24 hour snack bar, cafe and the the bar is absolutely fantastic. Lots of fun for kids with kids club, virtual Game Center and much more. Absolutely enjoyed my vacation here.

Melia Las Antillas: Beautiful beach and grounds

Hotel is older. Need to get a room that is off the ground floor. Many many smokers here. Cigarettes everywhere . Food was fine and the hotel and staff are hospitable and experienced which means they listen and are helpful . We had a great stay and super week

Starfish Cuatro Palmas: Great resort amazing location

From the Beatles bar to the markets everything was a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel was good nice rooms and a dynamite beach and pool( sorry no swim up bar)the staff were ok but it seemed like they would only pay attention to you if you tipped for every drink order

Occidental Arenas Blancas: Don’t stay here

Room was never properly cleaned. Bathtub was dirty. Towels were never changed. Buffet was lukewarm or cold all the time. Was never offered a la carte restaurants. Hamburgers were bloody awful. No snacks or anything to munch on between meals. No show in the evening except kids show. I wouldn’t consider this hotel again. Hotel lobby was flooding when it rained. I would rate this a 1 star I like Cuba and I know what to expect I have been to Cuba before. I know Cuban hotels, I would ra [... read more]te. It maybe1 1/2 compared to other Cuban Hotels

Roc Arenas Doradas: Great resort

This was my second time to this resort and I was pleased again. The resort is not too large and is very clean. It seemed like they had put a fresh paint of coat on most things so it looked nice and refreshed. My friends and I thought the food was good both at the snack bar and the buffet. We also ate at the Italian restaurant and we enjoyed that as well. The other restaurants were booked so we couldn’t try them. The gym has a few cardio machines and a universal pull up and dip machine. It was  [... read more]very clean and well air conditioned. I would definitely return and my friends said they would as well.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: A 2 1/2 to 3* resort

Most disappointing were the rooms: poor lighting, poor a/c, coffee maker but no coffee or tea, refrigerator but with only 2/3 cans of drinks, poor toiletries such as no ear buds, shower cap, etc., toiletries won’t be replaced without asking, tv does not work, broken remote, towels have to be on the floor for them to be replaced, no pad or pen, etc.

Gran Caribe Sun Beach: Good resort all inclusive

Location is good ,, good staff ,,average food ,, too much waiting for elevator , reception staff some are very good ,, some little fussy to deal,, 3 bars good , disco on 12th floor is plus point,, Like Pena, Ruben and Cenia in restaurant

Starfish Varadero: mountain climbing

the hotel was nothing but climbing stairs. The bell hope even knew enuff to refuse to carry our bags. The safe was locked and now one new how to open it they kept telling us to put door car in slot of a safe that had no card slot I could go on and on.

Gran Caribe Sun Beach: You get what you pay for

We were there for the beach and the sun; that was awesome! The hotel was very old and run down but livable...the food was ok (not great but we survived; it's Cuba)...the people working there were mostly great! You get what you pay for and we didn't pay much...I liked being right in Varadero and close to everything...
