Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Good time!

This resort has everything you need, for a great vacation. Food was surprisingly good, and plentiful. wifi was not consistent so be prepared to not be able to connect if you need to.Lobby and piano bar entertainment was awesome, however I was disappointed in the animation team, very little activities during the day at the pool/beach. beach was great! staff for the most part was awesome, extra awesome in the coffee bar (mike's). I really liked the design of the hotel, everything is close by a [... read more]nd easily excess-able. Was a little disappointed that we booked our honeymoon here and received no perks, I read a lot of reviews where resorts will make it a little extra special but that was not the case here.

Playa Vista Azul: Stunning Resort!

My boyfriend & I stayed at this resort from May 3rd-9th it was a birthday trip for myself.. everything about this resort is absolutely stunning everything is so well kept & modern .. the people are the sweetest .. the Infiniti pool Infront of the lobby is gorgeous.. the buffets are good.. the rooms are huge with a king sized bed & glass stand up shower.. the pina coladas are so yummy & the lobby bar makes the BEST iced coffee in the morning! I would give this resort 5 stars over & over again itâ [... read more]€™s a must stay if you are visiting varadero cuba! If I had to choose one thing that would be a downfall it would be that the beach is a little small still stunning but a little small.. you need to take a taxi if you want to go off the resort ( 15 pesos ) and if you want the cabanas you need to wake up extra early because they’re never free but all around it’s a BEAUTIFUL RESORT! I’ll be returning 100000%

Hotel Roc Casa del Mar: Good resort

The resort was very nice and the rooms were quite nice. We had a bit of trouble with keys not working and it was around 30-40 mins to get that fixed. Beaches are incredible and the food was alright. Service was good depending on which snack bar you went to.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Loaded with fun!!!

The hotel / resort was amazing! Everyone was very nice to us and accommodating. There were activities all day long and the night life was just amazing. I've been to many resorts, and this is the first resort with so much going on. We just loved it.

Playa Vista Azul: the resort is not a 5 star, i would say that it is a 3 1/2 star

To start off the beach is too far from the ground, the one on the far right should have some accomodations like washroom etc. the one on the left is way to small and crowded. The restaurants you should take reservations and the host should be more friendly. Also the buffet restaraunt were do i begin... to start off you had to go begging for a spoon, not enough tongs to get the food. The bread sections everyone touched the bread while cutting with their hands because there was no cloth napkin t [... read more]o hold it with. They did not refill the food quick enough or the dishes. The staff needs to be more friendly. When you are sitting in the lobby the staff instead of asking if you want anything to drink they just walk around If a drink is on the menu they should have the stuff to make it or else take it off Also more people should be at the bar serving. I have been to Cuba multiply times and this was not a very nice experience

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Varadero Ocean Patriarcha

The hotel was clean and the personnel was polite and helpful. The beach was beautiful. Our room, on the ground floor, had a small wooded area next to the terrace which was very nice. The food was good, especially in the restaurants.

Ocean El Faro: Fantastic resort

We stayed at Ocean El Faro Punta Cana last week (April 27 to May 4)with a group of 12 and we had a great time. Being a new resort everything was nice and clean, rooms were nice although some workmanship could show more pride. Some work still going on throughout the resort, but didnt bother us too much. Service was pretty good at most restaurants a little slow at the Steak House. Loved the fact that you weren't limited to a la cartes and no reservations were required except for the Japanese style [... read more] restaurant. Ocean a little rough making it difficult to swim but further down the beach to the left is a nice area to swim and much calmer. The grounds were well kept and in a few years once everything grows in it will be beautiful. Lazy river was fun and the pools were large and there were lots of loungers as it was quiet during our stay. One problem was the constant pestering from the H 10 people for time shares. Overall we had a good time and would recommend it.

Hotel Roc Casa del Mar: Great resort

Hotel was beautiful and everything on the resort was, the beach was beautiful and the pools were a fun time. The people were great helped every time I had a problem and the restaurant was awesome and great service. I definitely would come back.

Playa Vista Azul: Nice resort

The resort was beautiful areas was also great the room cleaner was amazing but the front desk agent wasn’t to pleasant they could of been more friendly the bartender was amazing loved the fast service

Playa Vista Azul: Loved the resort

Front desk attendants wernt nice , the cleaners were amazing , i had 3 favorite bartenders Amauray , Alahundro & Alberto . didnt like the wifi situation a 1.00 a hour and the wifi only worked for certain websites . Other then that i would go back to this resort

Ocean El Faro: Amazing Resort

Vacationed here with my hubby, another couple, and hubby's sister from Apr 25-May 2. ROOMS We stayed in the Privilege Section, Room 3308 (Privilege Junior Suite Pool View) The room looked exactly like it did in the photos. Our rooms were cleaned spotless everyday, sometimes twice a day. No issues with any water leakage in the bathroom as read on other reviews. RESTAURANTS The only restaurant we had to make reservations for was for Sakura (food was amazing) All restaurants are casua [... read more]l wear except for Blue Moon. The portions are quite big, so I wouldn't order too much. ENTERTAINMENT Foam party at the Main Pool was a ton of fun. The Bowling Alley was great. Showtime was great to watch. ** only thing I can suggest is the resort needs to advertise more with the activities that are going on in the day etc. SERVICE Service was Amazing! Absolutely no complaints. The restaurants were never short staffed. Pool staff was great. BEACH The beach was a bit rough with the waves. There were a lot of seaweed; however, we saw workers constantly trying to clean it up. Again, we were Privilege guests and had our own section on the beach with waiter services. Emmanuel was great and was always there if we needed anything. PRIVILEGE LOUNGE/RESTAURANT We ate here every morning for breakfast, the food was great. The waiter staff were amazing! Bernardo and Joan (aka Billy) were great and always approaching us with water and making sure we were good. Overall, I would DEFINITELY return to this Resort!

Ocean Blue and Sand: Nice resort

We found the Ocean Blue and Sand a nice resort. The good was very good at all the restaurants we went to. The property was really pretty and the pools and beach were fantastic. We have 3 kids ages 4 and under and they absolutely loved the kiddy pool. They played there almost every day all afternoon. We found the service to be a little rude and unorganized. The staff was very short with you and didnt seem very willing to want to help. We had a few things wrong with our room. Our baby crawled on  [... read more]the floor and when we picked him up his knees, hands and feet were completely dirty. Our safe was broken and our bathtub was dirty. We had to call for an iron and ironing board and they took so long we were late for a dinner reservation. They said they would bring a cake to our room for 9pm on our daughter's bday and they didn't. We had to call them 2 times and they brought it the next day. She was a little upset. So overall we had a nice trip but they really need to work on their service.

Valentin El Patriarca Varadero: Great resort

The hotel was beautiful, service was great. Rooms were always tidy. There was a lot of selection with the food, which was great. All staff was very helpful when needed, and very friendly. My experience was great.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Great but not amazing

Room was very clean and nice. We stayed in the rooftop room in El Beso. I wouldn't recommend the swim up rooms, didn't see anyone really use them and they are literally beside the pool. Beach is narrow and small and a little rocky. Seaweed was present but that's basically everywhere and nothing resort can do about it. Food was good. Sakura restaurant and the italian place were the best ones in our opinion. Resort is big but if you are in any decent shape you won't have a problem walkin [... read more]g it and they have buses if you really can't.

Ocean Blue and Sand: Friendly resort

Good service and fantastic entertainment Joseph and chocolate kept us entertained and were very talented and hard working! Beach was not nice at all and hotel needs updating Wilken who stocked our room daily was fantastic Also very hard worker Maids did not go out of their wsy to do anything special in our room

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Great Resort

This resort is clean and the people are extremely friendly. There is always something to do if you want it just relax. The beach has some rocks close to shore and seaweed would blow in but still so much fun to play in the waves. The food is very good and a lot of variety at all the restaurants and I especially enjoyed the ice cream shop. The only problem was they screwed up my return information causing me to miss the bus and almost the plane, that was extremely stressful and I had checked two  [... read more]times about return information.

Hotel Roc Casa del Mar: Hmmm what to say

I should start and say that this isn’t my first time to Cuba, this was our fourth time we’ve stayed in many resorts ranging from three stars to five stars. The resort it’s self was beautiful the people were mostly friendly but there was just certain things that I was not impressed with for one sitting down at the buffet having dinner and staff filling plates of food and sitting at tables not far from us eating well we’re trying to eat supper, was not impressed with the À la carts we we [... read more]nt to the seafood one and was very disappointed our waitress I found to be very rude and when I ordered my meal brought up the wrong meal mistakes happen but when we told her it was the wrong meal proceeded to roll her eyes and walked away, I found a lot that Staff was always on the phones. The best part was the beach the beach bar and the beach grill was the best food, actually was probably the best food we had the entire time there. Rooms were clean but the beds were hard. Pools were Beautiful, The resort to me was a four-star but the food was a three star I know you don’t go to Cuba for the food but it could have been better. I would return to Cuba in a heartbeat but I would not stay at this resort , If you’re someone who likes to go out and look around and do lotta stuff it’s very limited on what you can do you do you have your day trips and excursions but you’re driving further distances to get to them

Ocean Blue and Sand: OCEAN BLUE AND SANDS RESORT, BAVARO, PUNTA CANA, DR

Hello, We were a group of six women who visited Ocean Blue and Sands for one week (some were there 10 days) April 15 to April 25 and a couple from April 18 to April 25. This was my 3rd time in Punta Cana, and this is the first time I have been disappointed with the beach at the Ocean Blue and Sands. There was seaweed galore that you had a hard time to walk, and the sandbags in the water looked like backs of huge whales. Very disappointing especially for the Bavaro Beach. Ocean Blue and Sa [... read more]nd should definitely do something about their portion of the beach because when you go down south for beautiful weather, and beautiful weather it was indeed, you enjoy to relax on a beautiful beach as I recall the Bavaro was and still is, but for some reason this part of the Bavaro Beach I was deeply shocked and sad because we could not enjoy the beach, it was overall dirty looking. We had to spend our time at the pools. As far as the resort and staff working there, it was very good. The grounds were well maintained, the staff very friendly, but this does not surprise me for Punta Cana. The people are always so nice in the Dominican Republic, will do anything for you. A big shout out to Wilkin, he took so good care of us for our week at Ocean Blue and Sand. What a wonderful young man. As well, the entertainment staff, was excellent. We enjoyed our day entertainment as well as the evening. Joseph and Chocolate are amazing entertainers and they made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. The food was just for me, o.k. Most times at the buffet it was not warm, and the only restaurant I preferred above them all was the Steak House. It was amazing food, however, not very good service. We left before they came to offer us dessert, IF they were going to offer us dessert, we were not sure. We had to ask for wine, because they only came once to pour us a half glass. Not sure perhaps if that evening they could have been extra busy, not sure - but not good service. Would I go back again to this resort? Probably not, only because the beach is not up to my liking, and if I am going to pay big money to go to a resort, I want to be able to enjoy the beach. Having said this about the food, some of my party enjoyed the food, so this could be just a matter of preference. I am not a fussy person, but I did not enjoy most of the meals. The best was the HOT SUN. Wish I was still there for the weather, because in the Northern part of New Brunswick Canada, we are freezing today, and the wind here is COLD.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Good resort

Resort was huge and food was amazing. The beach wasn’t all the best but majority of the time we were by the Eden pool as well as in our swim up! Didn’t have the best of service during our stay but all in all it was good!! Nice and close to 5th ave and other tourist areas.
