Melia Las Americas: Beautiful resort right on the beach

While the grounds and pools are very nice the rooms are outdated and old.Only 2 small elevetors and not working all the time.It wort to upgrade the stay at level side.The hotel is right on the beach and it's easy to get around. The food was ok.Since I prefer fish and sea food there is every day good selection. Drinks are ok.Service on the main bar was the best.Snack bar have burgers and sandwiches that were good.

Playa Vista Azul: Great Cuba Premium Experience

Great Premium Experience – Worth the Upgrade! We stayed at Playa Vista Azul last week and I strongly recommend booking the premium package if you can. This review is based solely on our premium experience. The food exceeded my expectations for Cuba resort food, the service was fantastic, and the beach was beautiful. While it’s a bit of a walk to the beach, our oceanfront premium bungalows made it much more convenient — we were closer than most guests. The premium restaurant and service  [... read more]were excellent, thanks to Claudia and Doxana, who were absolutely amazing. The premium pool bar experience is also elevated when Senen is working — he’s incredibly warm and welcoming, and truly made a difference in our stay. A big thank you to our consignee, Amilcar, who helped us change rooms on Day 2. As for the à la carte restaurants, I especially enjoyed the Caribbean and Italian options. If you have allergies, be sure to inform your consignee — they’ll provide a printed note for you to place on your table. However, despite their efforts, there was some miscommunication between the servers and the kitchen, so I recommend double-checking your food to be safe. Now for the downside: we had to change rooms because our original bungalow had cockroaches — over an inch and half long. I also noticed them in the hotel bar area. While the staff explained this is common in the Caribbean, I’ve traveled to many islands and resorts and have never encountered this issue on a resort before. Overall, I would return to this resort — especially for the premium experience — but hopefully without the uninvited house guests.

Sanctuary at Grand Memories Santa Maria: I got the value that I paid for

Well well lets talk, I have been to Cuba over the years about 40 times and yes I have seen the ups and down of this country. This resort I would say is a solid 7 with always room for improvement The pools and beach are beautiful and clean with great views. There were lots of beach lough chairs in great shape in both locations. The problems that I seem to see is the workers and management lack of common sense. Some examples in the Sanctuary lobby doors opening into the buffet area the workers st [... read more]arted sand the edges of the door on their hinges rather removing these doors and removing them outside, so as they sanded the paint and dust where flying all over the buffet and into the kitchen over the food. Later at supper one of the cooks came over to the trays of food and stated to spray insect repellant over himself and the food. The open buffet was a fly magnet with no control it's like they have given up on this problem. As you can tell by me the food hygiene could be a lot better.IE common sense! If I had to pick to save time I would go to Cayo Coco same beach better airplane times. No 2 hour bus ride both ways. Now did I get my moneys worth, yes I did for what I paid.

Melia Costa Rey: Spotlessly clean

The hotel was kept spotless, the staff at the buffet restaurant are just amazing. The beach was cleaned from seaweed everyday in the morning before eight o’clock. To top it all off we had great weather

Melia Buenavista: Wonderful resort

Long drive to get there, but well worth it. Staff is amazing and always try to be helpful any way possible. Grounds are kept clean. Restaurants are a la carte and they try their best to keep food choices different every day. Did have an issue every day with key card not working in door for room entry. Twice technician came to fix. Other times we had key card re-programmed at front desk. Nice variety with three different beaches.

Melia Varadero: Above average hotel

Layout of the hotel is good. The staff and the service are good. Food is below average. Beach is very good. No hot water for two days. Air condition gave trouble. The fixed it. No coffee machine. Only a kettle, with no coffee supply. The whole hotel has no black tea.

Blau Varadero: Amazing resort!

We returned to Blau Varadero after 20 years - beautiful resort with friendly staff, lots of food selection, clean grounds, sandy beach but you need patience waiting on the elevators but overall for the price - no complaints.

Melia Costa Rey: Just wonderful! A must do

We very much enjoyed all that they offered! We did level up and found it was worth every penny. We did enjoy the restaurants and the beach wow the beach! So clean no rocks! Wonderful staff! We are already planning our return!

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Nice resort

We had an awesome week at Laguna azul. The most amazing part would be the staff, always smiling and go above and beyond. We spent a lot of our time on the beautiful sand beach. We would highly recommend this resort.

Starfish Cuatro Palmas: Starfish Quadra palmas

The resort was nice. The maid service was terrible,we had to hunt down maids for towels and toilet paper Put in complaints with the front desk,and with our west jet rep Still no service. In social areas someone was always cleaning but away from them no Our floor was never swept. Food ok ,staff ok.

Starfish Cuatro Palmas: Nice clean resort, great staff, stunning beach

Rooms are a little dated, starting to update. We had a bright clean room ,new TV was put in, has 110v plug in bathroom and beside one night table. No elevator, 3 floors only. Food was basic but satisfying, no beef available or shrimp, very quiet resort, small pool. In the heart of Varedaro.. central to bars, restaurants, grocery store. Would recommend. Stunning beach

Iberostar Selection Holguin: Amazing Resort

We had such a wonderful experience at Iberostar Selection Holguín! The resort is absolutely beautiful — clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by stunning views of both the ocean and lush gardens. The staff were incredibly kind and always willing to help, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable — perfect for traveling with kids. The pools and beach were breathtaking, and we loved that there were areas for both relaxation and famil [... read more]y fun. Buffet always had something for every taste. Can’t wait to go back ❤️

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Very disappointing

The grounds were very unkept. Overgrown grass and un weeded at more than half the resort. Large holes and exposed pluming in the ground in multiple locations. With the smell of sewage through out. Buffet for dinner was only open one night a week. We were a party of 7 and the majority of the rooms had broken items. Broken beds. Safes don’t lock. Shower doors that wouldn’t close.. block 36 had no hot water at all.. the list is longer. They claim this place is 5 star. I’m not sure we’d give it a 3. [... read more] The staff was ok. Most were not very pleasant. The lady who cooked the eggs in the morning deserves a raise. The nicest and happiest person on that resort. I’d recommend a different resort..

Iberostar Origin Tainos: Used to be much better in the past.

The bungalow which we stayed was nice, and in general the resort was OK, but due to weather and maybe uncollected garbage outside of Varadero, mosquitoes were overwhelming. We kept on spraying ourselves with all kinds of insect repellents, but we noticed that the staff were also suffering. Also, the loud, incessant music at noon, when we tried to rest after lunch spoiled our stay. We complained a few times and most staff were very pleasant and accommodating, but they could not eliminate th [... read more]is problem. I won't bother to mention about shortage of vegetables or fruits. We did not expect much, and therefore were not disappointed regarding dinners. The best part of this resort were all of the staff. They tried their best to make our stay a pleasant one. If we ever go back, it will be because of the precious staff.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Amazing resort

It was very clean. The beaches were nice but lots of mosquitoes. Food was hit and miss as the supply was scarce. The people were friendly and always ready to help put but very laid back. They served same food everyday, basa fish, pork and chicken or pasta.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Awesome Resort

Overall El Patricicia hotel, the location, food , employees, rooms were second to none, I have already recommended friends to your establishment. Almost forgotten to add the hotel cleaners also done a great service by providing clean bedding, and keeping the bathroom areas in top shape.

Memories Jibacoa: Relaxing

This was my second time at this older, smaller type resort (about 30 years old) that has been kept in pretty good shape. The grounds are beautiful. The rooms are clean, spacious and well equipped with a decent TV and fridge. The room was nicely cleaned and the fridge stocked with water daily. The beds were quite comfortable with fairly new foam mattresses. I found the pool to be very clean. It is shallow, so no diving. The lobby, buffet and all other facilities were also to my liking. I found ev [... read more]erything comfortable. The food in the buffet was more than plentiful and adequate in quality. I had no complaints. The Ranchero (table service) at lunch was also more than adequate in variety and quality. I found the staff to be very friendly and warm. Regarding the beach. It was beautiful and great for snorkeling as there are many reefs with vibrant fish near the beach. However, it is on the rocky side. Not at all like the soft, powdery white sand of Varadero. So take some water shoes. I had a very relaxing time overall. That's what I was looking for.

Grand Aston Varadero Beach Resort: Beautiful resort

Loved this resort. The beach was granular and not very good for walking but still very nice. Richard and Mani at beach bar were excellent! Friendly and informative! Nice pool. The lobby was lovely. Bartenders nice and friendly. The food was good- you could always find something to eat even if picky eater. Would definitely go back
