Beautiful beach, fantastic times!

This hotel/resort itself was decent, a tad outdated but it's Cuba. Oceanview suite was the way to go! The BEACH was incredible, warm water, cold drinks and smiling people. Great value - would go back.

Awesome Vacation

Clean environment, very friendly staff, really good variety of food. When visiting Cuba, people should not expect the same type of accomodations as visiting the USA..Be sure to carry your electricity converters.

Comfortable relaxing resort

Hotel needs some TLC. Grounds were well kept. Beach needed some attention to remove debri. To catch the double decker bus to varadero it was at least a mile walk. Food was good and there was plenty of choices. A La Carte excellent. Great indoor lounge area. Rooms kept very clean

Beautiful beach and amazing staff

Bella Costs is a grand old gal that, like many places in Cuba, could use a little sprucing up. But it is clean and the staff are super friendly and very efficient! The pool was a little chilly (colder than the ocean) but very well maintained. We mainly stayed on the right side of the beach which meant fewer people (beach is a little "narrower" there) and the bathroom, bar and restaurant were very close. The staff were VERY friendly and there were no line ups to speak of. The food was great! It  [... read more]didn't vary much from day-to-day but there was a lot to choose from and after two weeks I was still trying new dishes and combos. The beach was gorgeous! 95% talcum powder sand and crystal clear waters. If I had one major complaint it would be that the sheets didn't fit and there were no mattress covers. The maid actually added an extra sheet after I remade the bed one night to ensure the top was well tucked in. The service makes up for the shortcomings!

Wonderful!

We just spent 10 days at Hotel Bella Costa. Food was plentiful, lots to choose from. Beach absolutely amazing. Rooms are older, the only complaint would be the bedding used. Queen size sheets on King Bed. New comforters should be purchased as well. Met many wonderful people who are repeat customers and hopefully this will be the case with us in the upcoming year.

Lovely beach

The hotel has a number of issues typical of some of the older hotels in varadero and the food leaves much to be desired, but the space is great, the beach is amazing and the staff are helpful. If you have the stomach to deal with Cuban buffets and don't mind the odd leaky roof here and there, this Hotel will provide you a great starting point for a Cuban vacation. Explore the peninsula and visit Havana for a more complete experience. Vinales is supposed to be well worth the trip. Excursions can  [... read more]be expensive, so talk to your travel agent first about the things that matter to you.

Bella Costa Hotel Varadero Cuba

While this hotel is in need of some maintenance TLC the overall experience was great! It was clean and anything asked for was accommodated. The food was good with many dining choices. Every evening there was superb free entertainment at the hotel (rain or shine). As there are many stairs at the resort it is not very accessible for anyone with a disability.

Wonderful resort,

We had a great experience at the hotel. The buffet meals were excellent, lots of selection. The hotel is showing its age, but the character of the hotel and the location of the hotel more than makes up for any shortcomings.

We would go again

The resort is a nice size to get around and has all the features we would have expected. The staff were well organized and it was clear that there was good management running this resort. We found the food better than expected. The down side was when we arrived we had to change rooms because of no power or air conditioning in the first room. They did upgrade us and put us in a room with a balcony though and we were pleased with that room.

Fun place to holiday at

Grounds ,rooms, and public areas kept clean. good affordable family hotel,could do with some updating in some areas, Staff very friendly and helpful. Great value for your buck. Beach and ocean absolutely beautiful.

Good People

Most of the staff were great. Food was above average, lots of variety and fresh. Resort needs some updating: paint, leaking roof, more seating in the lobby area and new cushions on the existing chairs. A big upgrade would be king size sheets..

Good resort

It was a nice hotel but the building needs an update. The food was good as well and it was unlimited. The service was great and the people are very friendly. The beach is stunning. I really enjoy all the free activities included and the show every night was fun.

Great resort!

My family and I had a great time! Everyone was really nice! And the beach was great! Food was pretty good, Pasta guy was really funny and always made the kids laugh. I recommend this resort to any family looking for a nice relaxing time.

Standard Cuban experience

Beach was great. Hotel was clean. Buffet was better than expected. Rooms very old fashion and in need of repair and upgrading. Staff friendly but unhelpful. Local rooster woke us up almost every morning at 3:30am with non-stop calling.

Worn, but good service.

The hotel is older. It's worn but clean. In my hall there were a number of water leaks from the ceiling. Other areas looked renovated. Room was clean but again, worn. Shower leaked and was hard to use because of it. The food, was subpar. But that's Cuba. Did not get sick but chose things carefully. Beach is very nice. Grounds are well maintained. The 4am rooster wakeup calls were unpleasant.

Decent location, needs repairs

The biggest qualm I have is with the state of (dis)repair of the building and its parts, e.g. leaking roof, missing toilet seats, hair dryer not working etc. Other than that, it was quite alright: food was 'par' for Cuba - edible but not incredible. Entertainment was quite good, unfortunately the weather made some things rather tough (rained every day) which I know they can't control so no points lost for that. Beach was fine except again, weather. Disco blaring at night could be heard in the r [... read more]ooms but I think it was from a nearby resort - might be worthwhile bringing earplugs if you're sensitive. Overall, once they either repair (or rebuild?) a lot of the areas, it will be a 4star again.

Cuba????

This was my first time traveling to Cuba and stayed at the breezes hotel Bella Costa in veradero. I heard many different things about Cuba so l went with an open mind. This hotel in no way is a 4 star hotel. It is old and run down. The beds are terrible! The hair dryers don't work or they catch on fire. The toilet seats are missing off toilets. Your lucky if there is toilet paper. They do not provide you with any beverages in your room and you pretty much have to hound them for a bottle of wate [... read more]r to be left in your room. The service was not good. Even if you leave them a tip it's like they don't care. They don't clean off tables in the indoor or outdoor buffets. You have to go to them constantly to ask for more coffee/tea/pop whatever! We were so anoid that we started to go and get the coffee pot or bottle of wine and serve ourselves. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

OK resort - Friendly staff

Resort was good, amenities were good, food was ok, shows were excellent except for the body painted people one night - questionable. The rooms were clean but there appeared to be a bit of a mold issue and drippy pipes in many locations. Suites were nice. Staff was very helpful and friendly and really made the vacation.

Needs a little tlc

The rooms need updated with new bedspreads, the building has leaks every where but the pool area and the grounds are well kept The service made up for rooms The food was great The entertainment could be better in the evening All and all was pretty good

Resort could use some major renovations.

The staff at the hotel were great, and surprisingly the food wasn't too bad. The restaurants were well kept, but the rest of the hotel is in major need of renovations. The weather was poor during our stay and everything leaked. There were puddles on the floor throughout the hotel and there was a lingering smell of mold. The bathroom in our room was in disrepair, as the celing was falling down and the enamel in the tub was peeling away. On the plus side there was always hot water, our room was fr [... read more]ee of insects, and the cleaning staff definitely did the very best they could under the circumstances!
