Melia Peninsula Varadero: Very nice just a few things that needed changing

We arrived at 5 o’clock first couple got a room by 7 all luggage was put in that room ( there was 8 in our group) then my daughter and I got a room at approximately 8 ish and the last 4 didn’t get there room until 12 o’clock had to move everything at that time because no one working to help the rooms were very big and clean the pool area was always clean having a lunch hut at the pool was very nice nice short walk to the ocean

Paradisus Rio De Oro: Amazing Resort!

It was my first time in Cuba and I had great, relaxing experience while staying at the resort. Very friendly staff, outstanding services, spa, food and drinks, spectacular entertainment team and live performers.

Paradisus Varadero: It is truly paradise

I was at Paradisus hotel the first week of August with my teenage daughters in Varadero beach, Cuba. It is truly paradise, the sand was white, and the sea was crystal clear. The workers were very sweet at the restaurants, the buffets and at all the bars in the hotel. The rooms were very good and the restaurants served many foods like traditional Cuban food. The bars had many cocktails with and without alcohol. The hotel is very clean and well kept. The best things about this trip were the beach  [... read more]and the people I met. Thank you Paradisus, Varadero. This vacation was truly unforgettable.

Melia Marina Varadero: Terrible resort

The resort was dirty and service non existent. Went to same resort in 2019 but this time it was awful. Pool was hot and dirty and had nothing at the bar but rum. Beer was always running out and pool bars had barely enough food and beer. Will not book Veradaro again.

Melia Buenavista: Beautiful Quiet Resort

The grounds are especially nice and well manicured. The three beaches are separated by coral rocks therefore making them very private because it’s not one continuous beach, except for the last beach goes on forever…Water is so warm and turquoise blue! Unbeatable service “Yoni” our butler was absolutely wonderful and made our stay so easy. Yasmilia was the best Masseuse of have ever had, her hands were amazing! Eloy the gym and spa guy always had fresh towels and water ready every time we [... read more] went to the gym or to play tennis. These people really made this trip so much more enjoyable. The only drawback would be that the hotel needs to work on serving better food.. and maybe have more of a selection as we found the food to be repetitive. All in all we would recommend this hotel and we would also come back.

Paradisus Los Cayos: 10/10 Resort

Sure to please both adults alone and families.Rooms are clean, food is great and well presented, abundance of drinks. 24/7 room service, 24 hrs snack bar. My family has been 3 times and it is getting better year after year. The staff is professional and willing to go above and beyond.

Sol Rio de Luna y Mares: Amazing resort

Great location, Luna part closed due to renovation. Mares is completely renovated. Very helpful representatives at the front desk. Excellent service in restaurants bars etc. Clean updated rooms and facilities, everything in our rooms was functioning properly.. Playa Esmeralda is something that can not be described by words, you have to experience it. We'll be back.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Not the most lively resort for younger crowds

The resort was perfectly nice. They have shows in the evenings and activities during the days. The resort is family friendly - one of the two pools was for kids. The non-kid pool was quite warm, it wasn’t as refreshing as I’d hoped on a hot day, but we’re not in Cuba for the pools. The hotel is not ideal for younger crowds who want a more lively experience. Food was decent by Cuba’s standards but not the top/best. Beach water was beautiful but I wish they’d clean up the rocks and shell [... read more]s on the shore by the water - it hurt to walk on and I even saw a piece of glass in the sand. Overall good experience! But I’d opt for another resort for personal preferences.

Melia Internacional: Best beach I’ve been to in the Caribbean

The hotel Melia was very nice. The beach was the best I’ve been to in the Caribbean by far. The water was crystal clear with no sargassum at all. The building and rooms were clean and modern. The ice cream shop was awesome until they ran out of banana ice cream. Some nights the food at the buffet was great. While other nights it missed the mark. The Cuban people were fantastic. We felt really safe there and I can’t say that for other countries we have visited. We didn’t even book at any of [... read more] the restaurants because they were booked solid. My advice would be book those early in your stay and bring hot sauces and spices to add flavour. My suggestion for the hotel would be to provide French fries and chicken nuggets for kids.

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Amazing resort!

- service excellent; - staff very kind, welcoming, polite and helpful; - animation and entertainment are excellent; - beach very clean; - nice enjoying atmosphere; - nice restaurants à la carte (especially Japanese);

Sol Caribe Beach: Absolutely amazing resort !

Our all-time favourite resort in Cuba is Sol Cayo Coco, but since it will not be available until later this year, we decided to give Varadero a try for our first vacation in almost 4 years. Spent 2 days reading (the scary) reviews about all resorts available in Varadero and almost gave up until I stumbled across Sol Caribe Beach. We have immediately decided this is the place we wanted to go. This newly renovated resort is absolutely stunning and all the reviews are true to the letter ! The hot [... read more]el (main building) is super clean and the well air-conditioned rooms are very modern with subtle LED lighting, new fixtures and comfortable beds. A large flat TV offers a good selection of channels from around the world and an absolute new feature for Cuban resorts: free Wifi ! The wifi is actually quite decent signal-wise and speed-wise (even facetime, youtube etc worked pretty good). The beautiful lobby is also home to Friends Bar where Manuel, Amanda, Gladis, Abel , Cristian and Rainier will happily fill your glass and put a smile on your face too. Not far from there, at the Corner Cafe, Yosladi the master barista will craft any coffee your heart desires ! The lobby is a non-smoking area which is actually a great idea (yes I am a smoker), but you can enjoy your beverage, your smoke and a chat on the cozy patio right outside the lobby bar facing the swimming pool area and the Papagayo pool bar. From here, a short 20 meters walk will bring you to The Kitchen buffet where the super friendly Richard and his lady team mate (cannot remember her name) will greet you with a seemingly endless supply of champagne. The buffet has a wide variety of food, 2 grilling stations and one pasta station. I personally love the Cuban food, their delicious beef, chicken or pork stews and seafood rice always made me get seconds. Great selection of deserts: fruit, cakes and icecream. Past the swimming pool area, on the way to/from the white sand beautiful beach, the awesome Otto and Abdiel at the Brisa Beach Bar will always greet you and make sure you are staying well “hydrated” :) The beach is clean and offers plenty of lounge chairs and palm thatch umbrellas.The ocean is beautiful and warm and it offers a generous distance of shallow waters. Beach activities include stretching, salsa dance class, volleyball and feel free to explore the emerald waters with the free-of-charge pedal boats and kayaks or book ($) a catamaran trip to the deeper waters. Security and life guards are always present to ensure a safe and civilized experience. The evening entertainment is pretty good, with an amazing team of dancers, magicians, cuban music band and also a very good rock band, but they could use a more energizing team of animators to advertise their upcoming shows and events and to build up the vibe amongst the guests throughout the resort. A great and needed addition would be an after hours disco/club for those who would like to burn more energy dancing past the midnight. In conclusion: the staff is polite and friendly, the hotel is very clean, beautiful and modern style, the food is great and plentiful, beverages are of good quality, the beach is clean and comfortable and the entertainment is pretty good. Wall hand sanitizer dispensers can be seen from place to place and UV lights fitted inside the elevators, all linens, glassware and silverware are spotless which shows the Management is serious about the health measures.. No shortages whatsoever and we actually felt pampered during this WONDERFUL VACATION at this gem hidden in plain sight ! Thank you ALL at Sol Caribe Beach Varadero and congratulations for the excellent job !

Paradisus Los Cayos: Beautiful resort

The resort is fairly new and very beautiful but already in need of some small maintenance care . The workers are all five stars . Food was always plenty and we even had lobster for 3 different nights .

Melia Marina Varadero: Good summer trip!

My bestfriend and I took this trip and were pleasantly surprised it exceeded our expectations. There was some small hiccups but overall it was great value for the price - the beach was beautiful with clean white sand!

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Amazing vacation

Property could use some fixing but it didn’t stop us from heaving amazing vacation…great value for money we paid…beautiful resort with perfect beach .I would like to say big thanks to people who work in this resort .They work very hard to make the visitors happy …

Melia Cayo Coco: this is the best resort I have stayed in off all the resort I have been to in Cayo Coco

not too big easy to get around,beautiful beach the food was good ,and of course the staff everyone from the front desk to the beach boy always helpful . the only change I would like the gym to open earlier then 9 am

Sol Rio de Luna y Mares: A good bang for your buck!

The hotel is well maintained but tired. Check-in was simple enough but our room was not prepared based on our request. After an entire day of travel and transfer delays; we were a dismayed to walk in to a room that was crammed with three double beds. The safe didn’t work and the washroom basin did not drain. We were tired and decided to speak to the hotel in the morning, after we got some rest. When I explained, the wheels went into motion immediately. Safe battery changed, sink plunged one be [... read more]d removed and the other two joined to form a king. We did experience food, water and electricity shortages but we knew the country was struggling with this. I would say that there could be some kind of notice posted advising guests of the issue but otherwise it was a good experience. Lovely beach with interesting on-site snorkelling. Wish tourists would not leave their plastic cups on the beach…we need to help preserve the pristine beaches we visit. Kudos to the staff who work hard and go out of their way to please. We thank you.

Melia Peninsula Varadero: Not a 5* hotel

We just came back, the hotel itself is ok but very dated - definitely need an update. Toilets in a main lobby are broken and didnt look like they will be repaired any time soon. staff ok - some better some worse but very, very slow.. Lots of them look like they cannot be bothered.. no issues with food but due to shortages there is lack of vegetables and fruit (but obviously thats not a hotel fault) Avoid this hotel if you dislike Russians as this hotel was full of them!! they are rude, arro [... read more]gant, they behave like they own the place! I was shocked to see so many of them! The only good thing is their sense of clothing because thats very, very laughable

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: First time to Cuba

My first trip to Varadero Cuba was excellent. Hotel staffs were nice and friendly. On my first day I had some problems with sink. It was leaking from the bottom. I called the front desk and they sent the technician immediately. But they couldnt fix it. Then they moved us to another room. Room was big and clean. AC, kettle, hot water, wifi were working fine. Some restaurants were closed for renovations. Food and drink were great. However there were too many mosquitoes and flies (almost everywhere [... read more] in the resort). Please bring insect repellent if you are planning to travel to Cuba

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: A super resort to remember

This resort had everything I expected. The ocean OMG the best. Pool was also great. Workers super friendly and the food was delicious. Easy to move around and location fantastic. Price was right. Going back soon.

Paradisus Varadero: 4 night stay at Paradisus Varadero

Pros: Paradisus Varadero has scenic beauty, with bright white sands and aqua blue water. The beach was top notch. There was a decent amount of food available in the main buffet. Staff were courteous. Cons: The biggest issue with this resort is a continuous problem with the airconditioner, where only the lowest setting was operational. It was very low, not enough to cool the room, and with 42°C outside, it was very uncomfortable, especially for my toddler. I had made several complaints, even [... read more] offered hefty tips, but nothing was done to fix the problem. There were no fans anywhere on the property.The quality of food was also very poor, not tasty, lacked flavour. Some of the food items were mislabeled (e.g., label said "white rice" but it contained pork). There weren't adequate safety railings next to walkways by pools, nor were there ramps for strollers or disabled people. Many of the staff did not speak a word of English. The phone in the room was not working, and nothing was done to fix or replace it after multiple complaints. Rooms were outdated.
