Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Good resort

This was our first all inclusive, overall happy with resort, one issue was getting coffee for the coffee maker in our room, none when we arrived and we kept asking the entire week . Finally bought our own . Food was good , especicially the breakfast omelettes, while we were told tipping not necsarry , seemed to be the norm if you wanted good service. Rooms nice, very clean

Hotel Bella Costa: nice resort

the resort was decent but the exchange rate was a rip off. All the other resorts were giving a much better rate . The food was ok but we found it to be a lot of the same thing on a daily basis. I don't think we will be going back there again.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Food is not good

This hotel has good facilities and hardware. The room is pretty good and clean. But the food is so horrible. Everything is over cooked. Three special restraurants are all bad experience. The staffs are kind and helpful.

Palma Real: Very nice

Outdated but very clean and nice location. You need to walk across the street to the beach but its not a long distance. Beach is totally beautiful and has a beach bar. hotel is located only a couple of streets over which a short walking distance to the outdoor street club in the evenings and is very safe to go to.

Grand Memories Varadero: Decent resort but food ruined it!

Large resort with well maintained grounds and nice rooms, A/C great. Food needs improvement as lacking fresh fruit/veggies at both buffet and al a cartes. Fresh made omlettess were good but other food often not hot and beverages like milk and juices did not taste right. Sadly I was sick from the food after first day and came home with a bug and needed antibiotics. Will not return to this resort or Cuba when there are better places to travel to.

Hotel Bella Costa: Very Nice Resort for the money!!

We had a great time at the resort! Cubans are awesome friendly people! The food was really good, even our 8 year old loved it.. The staff always seemed to go the extra mile. We also recommend buying art from our new friend David who is a local artist that sells his prints at the hotel lobby. ( Say hi from Astro and Denise) Be careful of the money exchange, we once got charged 30% at time of booking excursion and then they charged my card in American funds which was another 30%.

Royalton Hicacos Resort and Spa: Wonderful Beach Destination!

Beautiful location on the best part of Varadero Beach; excellent food at the buffet, lots of salad ingredient choices, including fresh vegetables and tons of fruit; fresh seafood and fish, tons of fresh delicious bread and for those with diet restrictions, there were oat and soy milks, rice cakes and dietary bread. Resort Staff was excellent: attentive, friendly and helpful.

Hotel Bella Costa: Amazing trip

nice beach, nice bar, good service, I think the door of the room need to be fixed. it's too loud when closing the door, everytime I have to hold it to avoid waking up another room's people in the night time.

Punta Peninsula Varadero: Very nice

Very nice resort . 2nd time there this year. They have done a 180 degree turnaround for the better since my last visit there in February 2015. Great location and all around good resort wetter your a family or single .

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Great resort worth going back

I felt so happy and got praised by my family for choosing the right hotel - beautiful beach, spacious room, and many bars for us to spend the time. The swimming pool with underwater sitting place is my daughter's favorite. The food is decent and if there are more choices of vegetable, it will be great. Do wish that the staff at front desk can show more enthusiasm in welcoming the guests.

Club Kawama: Unfinished Renovations

This review is based on the fact that when we arrived on Dec.7-2015 and trying to check into our room, there were many tourists coming to the desk demanding to change rooms.We later found out that our westjet rep had pulled us out of this resort and put us in a much nicer resort at no extra cost.When we met up with the rep we were told that Kawama was having lots of problems with plumbing and electrical issues. We were under the impression according to tripcentral that the resort was to be finis [... read more]hed at the end of November . By no means will the work be complete any time soon. We don't have a problem with trip central, and we will be booking another vacation with them but we are sure glad they are partnered with West jet vacations.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Great resort!

Hotel was awesome, entertainment gets you dancing at any time of the day, the staff: warm hearted people! The people who vacation there; variety of people (families, group of friends, couples). Had a blast!:)

Iberostar Origin Tainos: Nice and small, well maintained resort

Staff is very friendly but if someone is looking for a good food, forget. Choice and quality of food is at 3 star resort level and friendly servers will not improve that rating unless kitchen staff and suppliers will start their job.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Ok resort

I'll start with the pros: 1. The beach was amazing and the staff was very friendly 2.The resort itself looks new and very well maintained Now the cons: 1. We had cockroaches in our room and the kids were freaking at first but since we didn't spend much time in the rooms it didn't bother them after few days 2.The food was eatable if you make it in time when the buffet opens but after an hour all you have is what's left, they wouldn't refill empty trays. Also the food itself tasted better on some  [... read more]days and much worse on other days. We found out later that it depends which crew is on shift. i can't really say if i can recommend this resort to others , i guess it depends if you have a good deal or just a standard price.

Starfish Jibacoa: Good time had by all!

The scuba diving (25$) and snorkeling (free) right outside the hotel were the best part of the trip. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Transfer to and from the airport was included in the already excellent price which was a great plus. Cabanas were roomy. Food and drinks were plentiful. Dancing lessons and entertainment available. Outside trips easily arranged. A Transat employee was on site to help with all concerns.

Muthu Playa Varadero: Not going back

Food was OK. Always had something to eat. Fourth resort we stayed at in varadero. Lots of bugs got very bit up. Never had this happen but maybe the time we went. The other resort we stayed at last year we found much better. Bathroom in main lobby always had toilets closed off.

Iberostar Selection Varadero: Great resort for families

Grounds are very nice, bathrooms are clean, service is excellent. Our rooms were cleaned in the morning and at nite they would come back to refresh. The restaurants a la carte were good. They have a great spa with own pool.

Muthu Playa Varadero: awful resort, very bad service

The beach off course is excellent, the service was very bad and the food even worst. The restaurants were really bad also, not prepared for infants, and I had to change the room because the first one didn't have any basic conditions

Resonance Blu Varadero: Memories Varadaro

Some of the main washrooms were in need of repair, but that was over looked because everything else was almost perfect. There is always something people can complain about but theses people in their truest fashion, give it all to try and please you. We have to remember that only now is or might there be change.

Palma Real: Good spot!

This is the second time to this resort...you really cant beat the value..cold showers a couple of days..but hey...you are in cuba! The location of this resort is fabulous..2 minutes to the beach..and all amenties are walking distance..bank and two great local bars..staff are very nice..Our lock was broken on the room they checked us into. They had no problem moving us to another room.
