Great personnel at Melia Varadero! ¡Excelente personal en Meliá Varadero!

I enjoyed staying at Meliá Varadero with my family of 5 very very much! The personnel is super sweet and kind, always trying to make sure you’re doing well. I especially want to distinguish Sara Girón, who is a very sweet and kind person, always taking care of the guests and always making an effort to make the guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. Also, Nadia Hernandez has been great and welcoming every day when we would go to the restaurant. I would highly commend both of them for their hard work. ¡Disfruté mucho de mi estancia en Meliá Varadero con mi familia de 5 personas! El personal es súper dulce y amable, siempre tratando de asegurarse de que lo estés haciendo bien. Especialmente quiero distinguir a Sara Girón que es una persona muy dulce y amable, siempre cuidando a los invitados y siempre esforzándose en que los invitados se sientan cómodos y bien atendidos. Además, Nadia Hernández ha sido genial y acogedora todos los días cuando íbamos al restaurante. Les felicitaría mucho a ambos por su arduo trabajo.
A real gem in Cuba !!!

Just returned from a girls trip here . It was our first time to Cuba . We were very nervous to come due to all the bad reviews we had heard regarding Cuba . We are so glad we did and will definitely be back ! We experienced zero shortages at the Melia . Other people we heard had a lot of shortages on some other resorts . We stayed on the second floor , it was clean , beds comfortable , fresh towels daily , plenty of bottled water , 2 beers per day in fridge . No coffee maker , a kettle but we never used it , a blow dryer . Shower was always hot and had great water pressure . The room itself was old and definitely needs updating but they are working their way down by floor to complete all renovated rooms . I would email before your stay to request a renovated room on the 4th floor . We heard the Level floor is worth the extra from all guests we spoke too . The restaurants were ok , Japanese was great . The buffet was plentiful ! Tons and tons of all kinds of food . If you can't find something you like to eat then it's probably a you problem ! We brought ketchup , peanut butter and seasoning salt ( which we left with some staff ) . The 24 hour cafe had the best coffee . Lobby bar was great , definitely no shortages there !! Entertainment was fun !! The entire staff at the Melia were so so kind !! We did see some rudeness by some guests toward some staff . Shame on you . Treat them with the respect and kindness they deserve and you will get it back tenfold ! The only complaint I would have was for the lifeguards , I feel they are not vigilant enough in their job , most are just sitting way at the back of the beach on phones or chatting . We witnessed a man struggling when the waves were bashing him and a staff member who gets your umbrellas ran to help and a guest while lifeguards were oblivious. They should be walking up and down the beach or positioned closer to the water . The current is very very strong , especially on on wavy days . Some special staff that need mentioning are Jenny our maid , always smiling and happy , Roberto and his other Lobby bar staff , Ana and the cooks at the Japanese restaurant , Aldo is in charge of the entertainment , Javier ( manager ? ) so kind and friendly . Our favourite waitress Nudia ( Nulia ?), she was a beautiful kind person. Last but not least Miguel who has been there for 30 years ! He was the sweetest man and deserves nothing but kindness !! Tips ( in US ) are so very appreciated . Do your research before you come on what gifts they love to receive ! They really are grateful for everything ! If you were like us and on the fence about booking the Melia , Don't be , it's great !!
