Club Kawama: The kitchen Cuban invasion

This review is based on my recent experience at the Club Kawama February 24 - March 6 2022. First of all, I would like to clarify that I am a big fan of Cubans ( the people, the language, the culture, the music and that l come to visit Cuba since 2000 every couple of years, to enjoy the beach and the culture; however during this vacation I had experienced lots of Cubans at Club Kawama that overtook the hotel , specifically the dining facilities. Lines of people waiting for food , taking too  [... read more]much on their plates, waisting food, rudeness in lineups etc The food was scarse, no butter, no cheese, no oil or condiments. The beach and the water made up for the other misery…..

Club Kawama: Leaves much to be desired

Pros: Easy access to the beach. Beach is great. Cons: Room was not prepared before check in. The bathroom was filthy. Bathroom shower fixture had no holding hook. Staff was not responsive to simple needs. Not much variety in the food menus. ok, granted that there is a food crisis in the country. Staff didnt seem to care about subduing the noisy guests in the lobby General comments: Great property. But management needs to pay attention to all the little details. And possibly needs a  [... read more]complete makeover.

Club Kawama: Great staff

Rooms need updated need dressers for clothes I didn't like that plastic glasses were taken out of garbage and reused(covid)wasn't fair that cubins at resort where taking most of food nothing left for us.bartenders should not serve people without masks but yes I really like the workers and for that I would come back

Club Kawama: Amazing staff!

I have been travelling to club kawama since 2013 and find this resort meets my needs everytime. For the price of your stay it is comfortable. Yes some rooms are out dated but personally im there for the gorgeous beach and clean pool. My fresh smoothie is made as well as my omlette. The snack bar is s great light lunch and supper has been steak..shrimp..pizza..pasta..soup..the list goes on. Already planning another stay.

Club Kawama: No complaints, but I will never go back

I had a tight budget, so I got what I paid for. The room was not hotel standard - the mold was visible and the drainage smell never went away. Very noisy at night. Wifi was $5CAD for two hours and can only be accessed in the lobby, where everyone smoked and very busy. It was very difficult to get drinking water. The food is cooked either too dry or too raw. There is no snack bar, as half of the hotel is closed. Some people are nicer than the others, though. The location is good, as it is clo [... read more]sed to the commercial area. It is very important to leave the resort/my room whenever I could. I am not complaining because I spent the lowest amount of money and didn't expect anything better. Club Kawama should never raise its price no matter how expensive other resorts are, since its infrastructure, food, and resources are not worth anything remotely close to four figures. I will never go back there. It should not be counted as a resort, not even a hotel. If I can't afford anything better, I'd rather stay home in the winter. It is way better to see the snow than smelling the drainage in the room and throwing up because of that.

Club Kawama: I really loved staying here!

Firstly, would I stay here again? The answer is, "Hell yes!!" The check-in was efficient. The food was moderate. And the beer kept flowing! The beach was superb and all of the bar services on the resort (notwithstanding them not having Scotch) were really great!

Club Kawama: Love the Kawama hotel and the staff is amazing

The Kawama hotel is awesome and over the years I have made many friends there, they always make me feel welcome and a special thank you to Leida Fernandez I can always count on her to make my stay more pleasant, if I have a problem she is more than happy to help me....the only thing I have a complaint about is they really have to improve on the hot water, I only had hot water once in my room in the two weeks I stayed there

Club Kawama: 19th Time at Club Kawama!

We continue to return to Club Kawama year after year for the amazing beach and the beautiful staff. The resort was much quieter than usual due to the pandemic. The protocols in place to ensure a safe and clean environment were top notch. In particular, the food and drinks in the dining room and bars were carefully covered and distributed only by staff. We like this resort because it is mainly two or three story buildings rather than a modern high rise of 15 plus floors. It's an older r [... read more]esort so it's not for everyone who is looking for a 4 or 5 star. We like the charm, the people and the beautiful surroundings this resort has to offer.

Club Kawama: Very nice resort

This is a well- kept resort. The staff is very busy cleaning and keeping the resort looking nice in all areas. The dining room is very comfortable and the staff go out of their way to help visitors. There was a large selection for food, and I always enjoyed my meals in the buffet. I also liked the burgers that were served near the pool. I was very satisfied with the resort and staff. The only thing I was concerned with was certain visitors that did not wear their masks at the buffet - when going [... read more] to get food or when they entered the restaurant. This happened a few times in the main lobby.

Club Kawama: resort club kawama

Kawama is as always a fun place to meet people that enjoy a good time. Yes the food is not like back home but surprise , your not in Canada pal. As for the tropical location here,s another surprise THEY HAVE BUGS so deal with it (ie bring bug spray duh). All being said this is the Cuba that we love , not a five star by any means but one hell of a fun place to enjoy. Last but not least the staff at Kawama are the BEST.Kudos to them now and in the future.

Club Kawama: Loved It!!

Loved the beautiful beach, pools, buffet, drinks, music — great time! This was my second visit to this resort and nice to see some great staff and friendly regular visitors again I felt safe from the worries of Covid - staff made sure all precautions were taken

Club Kawama: Fantastic memories

Another unforgettable vacation at Club Kawama. From check in to departure you truly feel as a welcome member of FAMILY. With strict Covid rules in effect, we found the staff impeccable both in adherence too and enforcement of said rules. The service was easily at par with any 5 star resort I have been to in Varadero. Clean, clean, clean. Always a staff member cleaning and disinfecting in front of you, behind you. Can't wait to go back.

Club Kawama: Amazing resort

From the well kept grounds to the sparkling pool. The staff is friendly and very alert to your needs. Bartenders remember your drink of choice, to how you take your coffee. This resort is 91 years young and is updating all the time. I cannot wait to book my trip here.

Club Kawama: Confortable et chaleureux

Le site est très bien entretenu, le personnel est vaillant et à l'écoute. Les services offerts sont adaptés aux normes sanitaires et les employés ont à coeur de les respecter. L'accès à la plage est idéal! C'est un lieu privilégier car la plage est à côté et on a la plus belle vue en ce qui concerne les lieux de restauration.

Club Kawama: Great Resort

Nice resort gorgeous beach, nice big pool. Resort was only 15-20 %capacity due to Cuba slowly opening up! Candio the server at the pool bar was fantastic kept us stocked with drinks for the entire week.

Club Kawama: maybe amazing for me: bad

The room provided at the hotel didn't have hot water, security box not functioning, no tv, dirty windows, dirty towels, spiders I reported this to the desk immediately and I gave a copy of the report to Yordy, the Sunwing rep There was a promise of changing the room and they changed it with a worse one: all of the above and a terrible noise from the external air conditioning So after hours and hours day and night of waiting getting no answer from the desk being tired and dirty, sleepless in  [... read more]Varadero, I took the decision to go ahead and rent a room for the remaining period (I have a receipt from the renting house outside the hotel for I paid extra) when of course I didn't take advantage of any breakfast or supper

Starfish Cayo Largo: Great beaches but sad resort

I could not really tell who rand this resort..key fob said Ibeorstar the sign said Grand Caribe and some things had Sol on them. Who ever has the management of this one needs help. We were there for two weeks and had no white wine for most of it. No beer a lot of the time.This is the first time we have been asked to pay for the safety deposit box. The draws in or closet were eaten by ants so that only the top drawer worked.The celling in the bathroom was collapsing.

We ate at the beach ; and PLEASE buy a second toaster; waiting 15 min for a piece of warm bread is not right.

Starfish Cayo Guillermo: Great resort

The Club Cayo Guillermo, aka Grand Caribe, was the first resort on Cayo Guillermo and even though we picked it because it was the cheapest, it turned out to be a very good resort. Sure some of the stuff was dated but the sun was hot, sand was great, the ocean warm, and the staff (most of them) were awesome. The food was good too - but like all resorts limited in its selections and the repetitive identical menu was due to limited availability. They had a Cuban Day where there had an authentic out [... read more]door pig roast and Cuban meal and festival. We asked for and got a duplex with adjoining rooms near the ocean with deck. This was a 3 star resort with 5 star service and class, lots of smiles and warm welcomes. We plan on returning here next year. Our 3 teenagers also came with us and had a great time at the beach or in the pool. The only they missed from another resort we visited 2 years ago was a pool bar. Cuba has the nicest, friendliest, and warm hearted people and the best beashes anywhere.
