2 Great Weeks at the Barcelo Solymar
Albertans28 (Edmonton, Canada) on Feb 18, 2026
In 2010, we chose Barcelo Solymar in Varadero for a two-week holiday… and apparently, we forgot to leave. ?? From the very first moment we walked through the doors, it was life-changing. What started as “just a vacation” quickly turned into our home away from home — so much so that we’ve now returned over 40 times. The hotel truly has the best location and one of the most beautiful beaches in Varadero. The turquoise water and soft white sand never get old. Yes, the hotel is showing a little wear and tear over the years… but what it may lack in shine, the staff make up for tenfold with heart. And that’s what really matters. From the front desk and office staff to management, gardeners, pool crew, cleaning and maintenance teams, bell boys, buffet staff, and all the bar staff who somehow remember your favourite drink before you even order it — the service is always excellent and the welcome always warm. We have been proud to share this special place with many friends and family over the years, and it makes us so happy to see them fall in love with it too. We have also made many special friends from all over the world — friendships that started on a beach in Varadero and have lasted far beyond our holidays. Some places you visit once. Some places you count down the days to return. For us, this one feels like family — and that’s why we keep going back. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Barcelo Solymar for the memories, the laughter, and the friendships. You are the reason this place is so special to us. ???? Deb, Randy and Jan

This hotel is maximum 1-2stat. The rooms are dirty, the towels are dirty, the food is horrible. We had already 3 different rooms all are broken and dirty, the balcony doors are not closing so in the nights we have 16degrees in the rooms,no heating system. The water in the shower when you are lucky is warm, if not it’s cold. All inclusive hotel and you don’t get water1 bottle for 2persons on every second day…. And the guest relations just putting up her hand that she can do nothing. We wanted to leave the hotel to change for another they wanted us to pay our hole time here than go… I ask everyone to Don’t come here if the want a nice holiday!
