Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Very nice resort.

The beds were very hard, we couldent get a clean beach towel, and the room service bought us burnt toast with our sandwich. The hotel is very beautiful and well set out, the buffay is very nice, the alacat restaurants were very busy, we couldent get all to try out.

Resonance Blu Varadero: Great Location!

The hotel rooms, bathrooms and grounds require renovation. Beds, bed spreads, and towels are looking old and smell dirty. Beach and pool chairs very dirty with birds droppings on it, also around the pool dirty tiles. I have never seen anyone cleaning the chairs or pool tiles. You can have a great coffee at the bar in the lobby and a very pleasant service too. However different story with the maid at least in the 25 building, water was a demand and scarce commodity, a few times I did not get the  [... read more]water, and she seems to be forgetting to put it in my room. I left her 1 pesos tip every morning, but I guess it was not enough for a good service. The fridge did not work and the patio door did not lock. I called the front desk and was told someone is coming, but did not show up at all. You get what you pay for. I paid $825 and no single supplement; it was the best price at the time of purchase. The food in the main restaurant was not bad, plenty and if you willing to stay in a line to get freshly baked pizza, meat or fish it was available. I ate whatever was available in the buffet as I hate lineups. There were plenty of fresh fruits and excellent deserts. Over all if you are going to relax for a week at no great expense it is a place to go, make sure you take your own towels and ask maid for water in the morning, otherwise you are not going to get it at all.

Melia Las Americas: My my Melia

Melia Las Americas Varadero: Had an enjoyable week here. Nothing really negative to say. Property is 21 years old and could use some refurbishment, but nothing was broken or damaged..just well used. Our room was adequate and clean...the lobby spacious and elegant (the chairs have been around for awhile)...the bar areas nicely done...the only minor thing really noticable is the main buffet restaurant it needs an update. That said it did not affect my stay in any way. Every employee I encountered  [... read more]was pleasant. The mood of the resort is relaxing and laidback with an elegant flair. The food was great no complaints. Entertainment staff fun and friendly. The beach very nice :))). The international a la carte restaurant was fabulous ***** and Japanese fun and delicious****. With a few small improvements this property would get 5 stars. Wish I could have stayed a bit longer.

Blau Varadero: just ok

this resort is just ok , the staff is wonderful , beaches are amazing , very clean resort , food is horrible 4 people in our group got sick two of them need to see a doctor on the resort , I think it is the water they don't is bottle water in the resturants .

Memories Jibacoa: Excellent Resort

The resort is currently in transition from one owner to another. However every effort is being made to maintain the high standards that customers have come to expect. Those high standards are still being maintained.I will be back next year.

Royalton Hicacos Resort and Spa: Great Resort / Great Beach

Had an excellent time at the Royalton. Their beach is the best on the strip by far. The resort is nicely laid out and everything was very accessible. My only one complaint would be the lack of mint for mojitio's. For much of our trip the resort didn't have any. Other than that, everything was great

Hotel Los Cactus: The Beach Was Awesome

The hotel and resort itself was very nice, clean and well kept. The room was beautiful the air condition worked well. We stayed in a suite but it was well worth it, very spacious. I am a female and I was very happy with my room lol. As a young couple it was pretty quiet, there wasn't much nightly entertainment. Nobody attended the disco at night and the entertainment was not that good. The beach is my favourite one I have ever been too, beautiful white sand and you can walk on the shore and in t [... read more]he water bare feet without any worry. However, the food was terrible. I could not wait to return home to eat.

Hotel Los Cactus: Resort Nice But Starved - Do not go to this resort

Resort was well maintained and nice. Beds where uncomfortable but most important the food was disgusting, unpalatable and unhygienic. We starved and had to go out via taxi there and back to eat every meal but one. As such this cost us another $100.00 a day for two people. Thought that with a 4.5 star hotel the food would be tolerable

Hotel Bella Costa: Amazing resort

The hotel is actually beyond our expectations, we read all the reviews about the hotel and other hotels, most of them complaining about hotel room condition and food, but after we arrived, we are quiet surprised the cleaness of the room and variety of food, the hotel staffs are very friendly, the beach is definitely nowhere to compare, enjoyed the whole stay.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: First time in Cuba, not disappointed!

The resort was clean and the staff were accommodating and friendly. Clean and spacious rooms and the maid service was excellent, a little tip goes a long way. Overall we enjoyed the resort and our overall experience.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Run down- horrible!

Been to cuba many times, stayed at this resort twice before and really liked it . Was just there two weeks ago, it was so bad that we were moved to another resort. The rooms were horrible, the food was by far the worst we had in Cuba .

Starfish Varadero: Less than my expectations

This was my 26th trip to Cuba. 2nd time in Varadero. I am used to 3-3.5 star hotels so i think i had reasonable expectations. The food was lack lustre. I will eat anything and I LOVE cuban food. But I was sick of having the exact same meal for lunch and dinner for a week. Breakfast was fine. And i dont each much so im good with fruit, juice and some sweets, no complaints about breakfast. There was no a/c in the dining room. The average temp during my week was near 40c with the humidex so eating  [... read more]in an uncomfortable environment was almost nauseating. The pool was almost 100f and filled with Cubans who never left the pool to use the washroom facilities so I avoided it att all cost. The beach was beautiful and the water calm and about 88f, perfect. And we generally had no one else around us. Had the beach to ourselves from 8am till 9:30 everyday. Not one vendor on the beach either. Pleasant surprise! Activities staff were friendly but dont do much. We are used to playing games all afternoon but there was nothing to do. It was far too hot anyway but still, im used to more to do. I was fairly bored most of the time. And with the amount of Cubans in the hotel, activities seemed more geared towards appeasing them so my limited spanish was not enough to keep me in the loop of what was going on. The nightly shows were "ok". One show (michael jackson tribute)was awesome but that was it. The disco was too hot to stay in for more than 20-30 minutes. Overall i liked being in the bungalow for its close proximity to the beach and pool. But its way too long a walk to the dining room or to get a coffee. Not sure why the property is so large. There seems to be a lot of unused but developed real estate on the property that just makes for long hot walks to get anywhere. Not enough shade on the walk ways. If it had rained at any point, you would be drenched trying to get anywhere. Overall not impressed with this hotel. Other than friendly staff and a clean room. Had read that ants/cockroaches were an issue so came prepared. Brought a can of Raid and eradicated both on the first night and never saw anymore after that.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Very nice resort !

I think that hotel is very comfortable, clean, friendly staff! Very close to beach. Beach clean and very nice to be . Very helpful girls in reception Nice clean room. Love buffet. Don't like food in restaurants

Hotel Los Cactus: Amazing resort

I thought the resort was well taken care of people are very friendly, food is also great! They make the best drinks! The people go out of there way to help you feel at home! But most of all the beach was just breath taking! Loved everything about it!!

Hotel Los Cactus: Amazing time

I had a great time at Breezes Varadero. This was my first trip to Cuba and I was not disappointed overall. The check in process was smootly, I did not like the bag person because since we did not have luggage he wasnt corteous to us and wouldn't assist in where the rooms were located. I went alone and met fantastic people on the resort and even on the bus ride to the resort. My room was great I had room 638 and it was magnificent. I went with the expectations of not liking the food and I cam awa [... read more]y always had a great meal everynight. The entertainment was great. Overall, I had a fantastic trip and I am glad I ventured into Cuba alone, next time I will go into Havana.

Resonance Blu Varadero: Cuba 2015

Its a good hotel. People at the buffet were very nice. The bar tender and the maids were amazing. The drink at the bar next to the lobby were awesome. The food was ok . the Italian restaurant" a la carte" was not good. THE beach and the pool are amazing and the room are clean.

Club Kawama: Didn`t have my guest reservation from Air canada,

I had to pay 65cuc 1st nite and had no more dinero so mi novia had to go back to Cienfuegos. No coffee in room for coffee maker. ask 4 times, got none. Room was far from cafeteria but good. I blame Air canada for the screw-up. I`ve stayed here many many times before and will again.

Barcelo Solymar: Probably wont return..to Barcelo Solymar

Barcelo Solymar Cuba.This was probably one of the worst vacations i have taken in my life. there were many negative things on and off the resort that happened, but i will only review the hotel experience. Keep in mind i am a very patient and understanding person but there is a limit. Anyway we arrived at the hotel a bit later at night and to a very long check-in line This was expected since i read in the reviews that this would happen. so after about half an hour in line we got to our room. We w [... read more]ere satisfied with the quality of the room aesthetically, but then after further exploration we found out that the shower door rusted so bad that it fell off once we opened the bathroom door. the balcony door was broken and would not close and the one thing that i wanted in a room was not there. AIR CONDITIONING. This is Cuba so at night it would be around 30 Celsius. we immediately went to reception to ask if they can fix it. They were quick in calling someone on the phone to fix and said there would be someone to fix it in 10 minutes. we gave them a tip for their help because we like to tip for good service. well 10 minutes turned to an hour and an hour turned to 2 hours. well you can imagine nobody showed up and it was around midnight and decided to sleep in the room sweaty and super uncomfortable. The next day we went down to ask what happened and they said there was nobody available to fix it and we couldn't switch rooms. once i heard that i knew this week would be terrible. So for the whole week it was scorching hot and we even opened the balcony door and it helped a little. but mosquitoes feasted on our blood and i am not exaggerating we got dozens and dozens of mosquito bites. The food at the hotel was reviewed to be bad and i am definitely not a picky eater but it was bad. I don't know they can mess up cooking rice, pasta and potatoes, you literally just have to boil it. So even though we got all inclusive at this "4 star" hotel we ate off resort every lunch and dinner. To be fair the breakfast was decent and had the most flavor, but we rarely were awake for those times. Now the staff, the staff were very polite and were super attentive but they had an ulterior motive. Every staff member from reception to security to waiters were looking for tips. If you did not tip them after they helped you they would not even look at you for the rest of the week, even if you made eye contact with them they would just ignore you. The good part of this vacation was that beaches which has nothing to do with the hotel. the pool was pretty good but the best part were the people on and off the resort. My group and I made many friends on the resort sometimes because of the negative things we had in common and the locals off the resort were pretty polite. All in all i would go back to Cuba but probably no to this hotel..

Paradisus Princesa Del Mar: Great service. Excellent restaurants. Great night.

Clean rooms.excellent buffet with many choice of foods.24 hour restaurant and excellent and premium choice of drinks.Amazing pool.Service and Staff Super.Nightly entertainment performers amazing.Beach party lots of fun all night.

Barcelo Solymar: Nice beach but Horrible room

We knew the hotel rooms are in bad condition in Cuba so we paid for the suite bungalow which is the most expensive room we can get. But to our disappointment. the room is in very bad condition. No blow dryer, no iron. Bathroom is in very bad condition. Equivalent to the a one star hotel here in Canada. The bathroom ceiling collapse on us on the 4th day. The management actually wanted to just fix it while we are living there. But it was not fixable so they switched us to a cheaper room saying the [... read more]y have no other rooms available. Have fun at this hotel :)
