Melia Marina Varadero: finally Five star in Cuba

Go for the VIP level and you won't believe u are in Cuba . Outstanding. Newest hotel in Veradero. Take a private taxi i($80) into Havana for day trip ,faster than sitting on tour bus all day. Good beach

Melia Las Dunas: amazing resort

The hotel lobby and grounds are just gorgeous. The bars are tremendous. The staff are unfailingly kind and courteous, always willing to help Anne are so friendly. The food is tolerable, breakfast was pretty good....You have to wake up early to get good bacon because people take so much on their plates. The pool is awesome.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: So much fun

The staff are amazingly pleasant and helpful. The accommodations were adequate. The pool is great. The beach is beautiful and clean.The food is tolerable. Breakfast was really good. I can order eggs is Spanish now

Melia Las Dunas: Meh

It was alright. There were only a few staff that made you feel very welcomed. The rest of the staff was just there kinda putting in their time. The most welcoming people were the gardeners and then a select few of the wait staff. The beach is beautiful

Tryp Cayo Coco: Great resort for families on a budget!

We traveled with our 6 and 8 year olds and had a great time! The resort is older but clean. The grounds were nice, saw flamingos, crabs and lizards. Pool was fantastic and the beach was clean and spectacular! Always enough beach chairs for everyone! Food was just ok but pretty standard for Cuba. Kids loved the pizza place on the beach and the pasta and omelet stations at the buffet were great. We took the day trip to swim with dolphins and that was well worth the money! Kids still talk about it!

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Do not hesitate to book your vacation here

What can I saw. In summary WOW! This is a well run resort, the facilities are beautiful, grounds well kept and peaceful without loud music blasting at you, the food is superb, and the staff is friendly and truly welcoming. I have stayed 5 times at my favorite resort in Cayo Santa Maria, and although the beach in Cayo Santa Maria is truly spectacular, the Paradisis Rio de Oro Resort is my new go-to destination. I will keep coming back! Don't hesitate and just go here! It is in a league above t [... read more]he other resorts I have been to in Cuba. Truly deserving of their 5 star rating.

Melia Las Dunas: Very nice, clean and comfortable

Long ride to and from airport but on the way to hotel, tour guide was very informative and descriptive also stopped on causeway so we could take pictures, very nice. Hotel was enjoyable, entertainment could have been stepped up for sure and food was just fair. On the way back to airport, very long as for some reason bus stopped in little community so passengers could use restroom...initially no one needed restrooms. However, on the way to this village there was major road work and after several  [... read more]wrong turns and countless rough back roads passengers were feeling Ill. When the restroom finally located and full bus arrived...ONLY ONE bathroom for all! Was not clean and no paper was available. The other bus that left hotel after us arrived at the airport about 45 minutes BEFORE us and no stop nor detours encountered! Communication on the return to airport certainly lacking. If one bus was aware of conditions, most certainly all should have been. So in closing everything BUT the return trip, was great!

Melia Cayo Santa Maria: Nice Resort

You can never go wrong with a Melia resort. Very clean. Good food. Well maintained resort. The beaches in Cuba are absolutely beautiful. This is our 2nd time to a Melia resort in Santa Maria. We loved our vacation both times. You can relax with a good book or get involved in the many pool and beach games. Good times !

Tryp Cayo Coco: Amazing Location

The beach first and foremost will have us coming back, the location of the hotel was excellent , close to airport but far enough away to not be disturbed by it. Close to market, safe walking distance. Clean enough hotel, great staff, great food! Would return but maybe to Cayo Guilliamo next time :)

Melody Maker Cancun: me Cancun Mexico

Great hotel. I enjoyed my stay. It's very contemporary so if you're into that you should go for sure. But if you're looking for the Mexican experience this may not be the right place. The WiFi at the hotel was poor and worked mainly in the lobby but not a big deal. The food and service was good but could be a little better.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Nice resort for families

This resort has nice facilities for the kids( waterslides, pirate boat, snack bar...) Our daughter and her 2 kids really enjoyed it. Food was great at both buffet restaurants and the 2 a la carte (Japanese and Italian) that we visited. Beach was excellent with lots of chairs and umbrellas and so were the grounds and room facilities.The shows for the kids and adults afterwards were also excellent. The safe in the rooms were not properly anchored and could be simply lifted off the wall. Also the b [... read more]anking facility was awful with a very small window with only one attendant who would not give you smaller bills than 10 pesos. The main desk would not give you change either. We had to deal with resort personnel one on one to get change.

Melia Las Dunas: Wonderful resort

We loved it and going back. First place we ever went they we will go back to And going next year So close to everthing nice grounds nice restaurants great beach service could be a bit better at lobby bar. Great people

Melia Marina Varadero: amazing, beautiful, new resort

Great vacation at a new resort. Very modern, food was exceptional, staff were very friendly.Jennifer at trip central recommended this resort and we're so glad she did. The beach was amazing, clean warm, lots of lounges for everyone. I would love to go back in a year, when all the shops are up and running.

Sol Varadero Beach: Resort is really amazing but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Resort was really amazing but the roomes need a real good makeover as it needed update with the furniture, beds had really old and smelling linen. Wash rooms were old fashioned . The workers are mostly good but the one who came to our room was very greedy and wanted us to give her something everyday we really gave her but she wanted more, sometimes demanding. Over all we had a good vacation. Pls do make updates and i am sure it will be a nice place for vacations..........

Melia Las Dunas: Melia Las Dunas

First off Trip Central has always been a pleasant experience with attention to detail in every way. Melia Las Dunas is great! Very consistent with excellent service, food and hospitality. They have a passion to please, just like Trip Central! You can stroll on the fabulous beaches for miles. Have been Seven times and will return. Thank You all :)

Sol Palmeras: Amazing resort!

Dreams Sapphire Resort and Spa: Amazing vacation

Wonderful place to vacation, the service, food and experience was very good. The resort was in great condition and was well taken care of. Lots of things to do around the resort. We rented a car for a few days and visited some ruins and other attractions.

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Paradisus Princess Del Mar

First time to Cuba after numerous Caribbean and Mexican holidays, and I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were lovely and clean and the food was amazing-- especially Cuban night when they served half lobsters on the grill! The pools and grounds were beautiful. One favorite thing about the resort was the talented entertainment in the evening. The people working were gracious and hospitable. The only complaint I can think of is the bathrooms off the lobby. They were often without toilet paper an [... read more]d needed to be cleaned more often than they were due to people at the pool using them. I would certainly go back.

Melia Las Dunas: Wonderful time at Melia Las Dunas!

This is the best resort we have been to in Cuba. Cayo Santa Maria was the most beautiful beach we have ever seen - beautiful clear turquoise water and soft sand. There were two huge pools - one was an activity pool with music, dance lessons, aquafitness and separate shallow children's pool - the other was a quiet pool where you could relax and read. Both of course had swim up bars and servers who walked around and brought us drinks to where we were lounging. The grounds were beautifully kept and [... read more] all staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food was better than average for Cuba. The best meals were at the buffet where you could line up and choose your meat, fish, veggies and they would grill them in front of you. It may take 10 minutes but was worth it - better than the a la carts. The one a la cart we liked best was the Pizza place. The pizza was not exactly what we are used to in North America but was very tasty and some were even in the shape of a heart. There was a beer garden that served some imported beer as well, although we quite liked the Crystal. At the beer garden they also had shrimp on skewers with veggies, battered and deep fried as well as Calamari which were very good but they occasionally ran out of things. Fish and chips at the beer garden was also very good. We often went there for lunch. The entertainment was better than average too. Around 6 pm it started with a piano player or other musician or two in the lobby bar. Then there was a latin band on an outdoor stage (once even a rock band) until the main show in the theatre began around 9:30. The shows in the theatre were very entertaining too and different every night (we stayed for 2 weeks and there were maybe 3 repetitions). The rooms were large and clean and the mini bar was filled up daily with at least 2 pop and 2 beer but more if you ask and especially if you give the guy a peco. ($1) We had an amazing two week vacation there and would go back again!

Sol Rio de Luna y Mares: Great Time & Great People

Very clean. The staff were courteous, experienced and very accommodating. We have celebrated my husband's birthday two years in a row, with a birthday cake custom made for him by the resort. The beach area is fabulous.
