Royalton Hicacos Resort and Spa: Amazing experience!

The grounds were beautiful, the employees treat you like royalty. Highly recommend Royalton Hicacos! The beach bar makes the best drinks! Gladys was an especially special part of our trip. Her demeanour is so welcoming and warm.

Grand Aston Varadero Beach Resort: Amazing resort!

The resort was amazing. The vibe was good. The service was good. The only thing I don't really enjoy was the food out of 10 I'll give it a six. The varadero area. It's pretty good. Just watch out for people on the street. Trying to sell you cigars.

Grand Aston Varadero Beach Resort: It was better than my expectations

The hotel and service were great. But I would not recommend taking a tour to habana. I felt like I went shopping just to buy cigars and rum instead of taking a tour. The lunch was not good either. Don’t waste 150 USD for worthless tour to Habana. Stay at the hotel…

Sol Palmeras: Friendly place with great beach

The staff is great, the room is clean, and there are plenty of food options. The beach is great, as well as entertainment. Wifi works in all resort locations. We spend time during the Christmas and they had really nice dinner on 24th and 25th.

Occidental Arenas Blancas: Occidental Arenas Blancas.

It wasn't a horrible trip, but I will never go back. I would also not recommend this trip to a friend or family member. Guests brought by 'Aeroflot' emptied bars. There was no alcohol. They smoked everywhere. And staff persons were grabbing food straight from the food stations by hands touching dirty dishes. Mornings were even more dissatisfied because a person responsible for making fruit juices just used powder and water for payed guests and for her co-workers she used real fruit like: bananas [... read more], pineapple, watermelon and papaya. So many extra cups were there in the mornings. A la carte restaurants were over booked for me, because management decided to eat at the same time.

Grand Memories Varadero: Family Christmas vacation

We knew that we would have some issues with something there so we were prepared. Power outage once for only 4 hours, internet was spotty, air conditioning broke the second last day so they switched our room. Other than those issues the trip was great. The weather was perfect, the ocean was beautiful, pool was great and even the food was decent. All in all a great affordable family vacation

Paradisus Varadero: Paradisus Varadeto

Best settled resort with the view of the ocean from the inside of the resort. 5 star Beach! Cleaned every day! Water and sand spectacular Food- no one will starve. No one will gain or lose weight Actually for a vegan is the best place. Lots of options .

Melia Las Antillas: Older Resort in need of refurbishing, but clean, friendly and definetly client oriented.

The hotel is as advertised. Older and has a few bumps and bruises. It is clean and has all the convinces that I would expect from a resort. The check-in process was very efficient. My room was on the main floor in the hotel section. The main floor was on the 2nd level. With lobby and bar. The restaurants were on the 1st with the entrance to the pool and grounds. The rooms are great, the bathroom tired but clean and in working order, hot water for showering and the towels functionable but worn.  [... read more]I asked and received extra water and beer in the fridge as needed. The lobby bar and staff were wonderful, with nightly entertainment with a solo piano player, and solo singer with a guitar. The coffee's and rum were the best. The dining was adequate with the buffet having the best choice of food. I enjoyed the rice and beans with grilled fish. There was roast meat every day: pork, chicken or turkey. There were vegetables but the broccoli, carrots cauliflower were not fresh. Roast Pumkin and squash was the better choice. Eggs and omelettes, cereal, pancakes fresh bread and buns daily. Sorry no bacon. The ala cartes were not the best, food wise. The pool area was great with new loungers on the deck. The pool did have missing tiles, but was easy access and clean. The water was cool but comfortable. THE ONLY COMPLAINT WAS THE DAILY LOUD AND HEAD BANGING PARTY MUSIC. After several attempts to have them play a better choice was useless. The beach was the best. Wide, clean and great for walking but it was red flag days when I was there. December 12-17, 2024

Roc Barlovento: Great as always

Well maintained property grounds are always clean Food was great People working there are pleasant, polite and always smiling. Maintenance if need are done immediately with perfection Pool cleaned every morning. Beach was cleaned every night

Playa Vista Azul: Friendly Amazing Resort

A nice friendly amazing resort. My travel friend next door had a sliding patio door that wouldn't lock. The Bell boy tried to make it operate properly but couldn't. He went up front and in no time there was a repair guy down with a new handle which he installed at 10:30/11 pm at night to keep them happy and safe. The food was good, and there were never any shortages except for the Saturday night before we were leaving. One of the A La Carte restaurants didn't have beef. At the Caribe Rest [... read more]aurant, there were pork, chicken, and fish options. I had the pork, and it was very tasty. The Buffet was always thoroughly stocked. The cooks up front preparing your eggs and pancakes in the morning were awesome, and the ones at lunch or at night for your pasta and fish entrees were also awesome. Bring a little square of wrapped chocolate to let them know how much you appreciate them or slide a USD 1 on their tip plate. They will love you for it. The wait staff were also friendly and attentive especially my new found friend Michael. The pools were wonderful and the poolside snack bar and swim up bar was pretty good. Maid service was excellent and IF you every needed anything, leave a note, with a USD 1 and you will receive with a goose on your bed made from a blanket. Convenient to get to town, a 15 USD cab ride and Benny's Cafe had the best lattes and capachinnos.

Playa Vista Azul: Can't say enough about the resort and staff!!

The resort is beautiful and well maintained. Staff were absolutely wonderful to the vacationing people. The flight was quick there and back and price is well worth it. They have 2 beautiful pools, one an infinity pool that overlooks the ocean and another larger area that is near the main restaurants, coffee club and burger snack bar near the swim up bar in the pool. The best for last.....walk along the beach and go for a beautiful swim in the ocean. The buffet was by far the best place to eat [... read more] and have a variety of whatever you liked.

Playa Vista Azul: Excellent trip

Dear Karol and trip central, we had a wonderful trip and the resort was excellent. No food problems or power issues. We will definitely go back it was my second time. Truly recommend this resort. Please pass on my recommendations of playa Vista Azul. People won't be disappointed. Thanks for your excellent service Karol.

Grand Aston Varadero Beach Resort: Great new location in Varadero!

Good freshly new hotel, nice facilities, good restaurants and very good food choices. Nice rooms. Good management, top notch entertainment. Staff not as happy and joyfull as other locations but great services overall. Piano bar and pool service extraordinary. Coffee station one of the best. Best cuban restaurant, highly recommend. Beach rocky and weedy, many jelly fish.

Grand Memories Varadero: Three star

A good 3 star resort value. The food was good the first two days, but it was the same menu for 14 days. Staff was good. Pools and bars were good. Some guests/cultures are not familiar with buffet conduct... and parenting isn't what it used to be. A good value for a 7 day experience... maybe not 14 days of the same menu.

Brisas Del Caribe: Horrible Resort

The only thing going for that resort were the workers.The place was falling apart,no food or tissues.RUSSIANS everywhere.They were drunk and loud the entire time ?Music didn’t start till late morning and was crappy.No games.All the drinks were watered down,even the pop!!!

Brisas Del Caribe: Canadians Beware

Unless you’re Russian,l do not recommend this place.They took over the place,music and all.The little food u get at the buffet is gone in minutes,because they would line up and as soon as the doors open would take three plates each leaving scraps.Thats if they didn’t already bush u out of the way.The staff were really nice but the resort was really run down.Everything was watered down and noooooo napkins?

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Good resort

We really like Iberostar Bella Vista Cuba Friendly staff Great location on, great beach location, food, service. We enjoyed our two weeks vacation I and my friends planning to go back for another vacation

Grand Aston Varadero Beach Resort: Amazing Resort

This was one of the best resorts I have been too in Cuba the resort itself was amazing, rooms beautiful, Had all amenities plus some, like bath robes in rooms along with Beach towels. Food was plentiful and Delish. Nice sports bar that made amazing drinks more than the normal at the Reg bar. The beach was just ok. I prefer a long beach I can walk but I would still go back to this resort!

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Not bad

Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was disappointing. The service was below expectations, cleanliness was lacking, and there was a clear lack of attention to guest comfort. I wouldn't recommend staying here unless improvements are made

Melia Internacional: Beautiful reaort

The resort is big, very clean and beautiful. I don’t have much bad things to say besides The tiles near the pool area should’ve been none slippery tiles. The tiles they have there are very slippery. There is no entertainment during the day, which is sad. But night time entertainment is well done. No one comes around at the pool to take any order for drinks which someone should. Food is not my type of food but I survived. You can’t get no French fries unless it’s with a sandwich. Also my biggest  [... read more]main down fall is that their is not one Gluten free option which those who are celiac disease. Which I am and I had no sweets or breads. Lucky I bring my own bread which I shouldn't. Other wise nice resort.
