TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

This hotel is amazing, architecture is stunning, one of the most unique beautiful hotels I have ever seen, It's so beautiful on outside you can spot it from highway and the beach, but is more gorgeous inside; it's like a pyramid with live plants hanging from all floors. it feels like you are in a tropical forest and you can hear the birds' song all time. The lobby bar is the heart of the hotel. confy chairs, great cocktails and amazing live music every night. Hotel is super clean, so are the pool, rooms, dinning area, grounds etc. We never experienced any shortage of food or services. Stuff is so friendly and polite, they work super hard and always smile, they are happy wonderful people who appreciate a greeting and a smile and never expect anything but are grateful for any tip they receive. Beach is the best; white sand, blue clean ocean, no sea weeds but lots of shells even corals. The path to the beach is a boardwalk that goes through a small tropical garden, so beautiful and unique. Pool is big and not crowded, most of people are at the beach, but you always found lounge chairs available by the pool, beach or in the gardens under the palms. This was our first time in Varadero and we didn't know what to expect but we are speechless and so in awe with Blau; no wonder everyone we met have been there several times, we will absolutely return. Tip: don't bother for ocean view rooms; rooms have amazing views on both sides and are spacious and clean, bed very comfortable And to conclude: a big cheer for amazing stuff at Blau, from reception, cleaners, servers, landscaping, bartenders, housekeeping and Especially to Yasmila and Noroberto. we will see you guys soon :)

My husband and I came to Cuba for our first time and stayed at Blau Varadero. We have been to Mexico a few times and decided we needed a change, needless to say we will be coming back to Cuba!! We always had plenty of variety of food (we are not picky at all and not scared to try new things). There was always eggs for breakfast and lots of fruit, Lunches were ok and Dinners were awesome!! The coffee corner made great coffee and had yummy snacks. The beer is very good!! There was Cola only on certain days. The entertainment team was so much fun, activities happening all day (get out there and participate, makes things interesting). We pkayed boccia ball and volleyball every morning at the beach. The pool was never busy and always had chairs available. They had aquatic areobics, zumbs and salsa pool aide each afternoon. The beach was beautiful and we always found chairs when we went around 10am. Cuba day was fun on Thursday!! We tipped everyone including the housekeepers ($10CA each day), our room was always stocked with everything and looked amazingly clean everyday!! We had the Oceanview select double room which was very comfy and large. We brought little baggies filled with gifts for the groundskeepers and cleaners. We also took little gifts bags for the children when we went on excursions. This resort isn't a younger crowd resort but let me tell you....we couldn't keep up with the older crowd lol These guys know how to party and dance!! Don't be scared to meet new people and socialize, everyone is super friendly:) We will be back Blau:)

Our 10th visit to the Blau via Sunwing . Never lacked for the basics in our well kept room. Obvious improvement in food prep over last year . Plenty to choose from daily. Hotel and grounds immaculate , the beach and pool are the best in Varadero. The reason we return each year is the wonderful staff . Bartenders Yoel , Oxmara (piano bar ) Yohanis, Adelys ( chill out ) Jorge and the boys (lobby bar ). Servers like Agdiel , Lizette ,Framil ( buffet) Maria Milay (International ) Jordainis (piano bar ) . Not to forget managers who work so hard with their staff to ensure you have a great experience …Yudi (Italian Restaurant ) , Yanin ( bar mgr) and a promising new food & beverage mgr Karl . Thanks to Sunwing for a great special dinner for their guests on our last night. Come and enjoy one of the best resorts in Cuba . See you in 2025 !

The whole hotel is build nearly like a pyramid with 14 floors. There are four panoramic lifts which is nice and the plants hanging domn from the top floors make a complete different atmosphere. We liked that very much. The acoustic makes the shows and music very loud. But they finish at 10.30 pm. Beach is beautiful with fine white sand. Food was good despite other reviews. We had a fantastic time and a lot of fun with the animation team

This was a mother and daughter trip. Some glitches and shortages for sure but we expected this. Beautiful beach . We were select so we had beach drink service . Limited choices of alcohol and mixes. Always able to get a palapa. Water was beautiful and beach kept clean . Rooms were cleaned daily but 2 of the days I never received clean drinking glasses . Always stocked for toilet paper . We had booked superior ocean view but when we arrived they were sold out. I'm sorry if I was able to book it , it should have been available. Wifi was okay but at times iffy Food . This was the hardest and u have been to Cuba several times. We did have eggs every day but there was no real orange juice and it was very repetitive . Likely wouldn't go back
