Osviel from the animation team was excellent, he greated us every morning and explained activities taking place on beach and poolside. If was so pleased to engage in conversation as he wishes to expand his English. He would go round guests to motivate them to join in
A fun week of music, dancing, entertainment and good food!

The Sol Varadero Beach hotel was beautiful. The staff is so friendly! My room was comfortable, and clean and everything worked!! The entertainment team was excellent and so much Fun. They really are the "Equipo Animación Super!" Osviel, Kiko, Melissa, Marlon and all the team made my week so special. I started my day with stretching class on the beach every morning. There were volleyball games, aqua fitness in the ocean and I never missed a dance class on the beach in the morning. It's a 5 star beach with turquoise water. I danced every day at 5:00 by the pool. We had fabulous shows every single night including professional dancers, musicians including saxophone, super guitars, a rock band, traditional salsa bands for dancing, singers and more. And yes, I loved the food! I had bacon and eggs and sausage and baked buns for breakfast every morning. I enjoyed the best coffee in the world. There was always a great selection of fresh fruit and salads. I want to go back! I was lucky to have perfect hot sunny weather but I'm sure I would have been busy even if I needed an umbrella. I had never been to an adult only resort before, and it was fun!! I felt secure. The safe in the room was large enough for my laptop and my camera and valuables. Dia Cubano on Saturday was a feast complete with a live band and professional dancers and an active animation team. I want to go back!!

Horrific experience. We travelled as a couple and this was our second time in Cuba . We were reviewing this hotel for an independent travel agency as TUI are pulling out of CUBA ????. So let's start with the positives . The weather is glorious The gardens are stunning . The gardeners , staff in the buffet area and the maids were amazing and always smiling. The entertainment is excellent. Now the negatives . The young French Candians are on spring break and are vile .We did not sleep properly for the first two nights as they party until 5am . We were treated to lots of entertainment in front of our room but a fellow brit had members of this group having sex outside their room. When she phoned reception she was told they will stop soon . It took us a few days to get a beach towel as they had run out and when we went to change it 4 days later we were told we had to make it last longer . There's no chance of getting a sun bed on the beach unless you reserve one at 7am . The beach is dirty and not maintained. The cigarette butt's in the sand add to the overall ambience. Our room was basic but the shower head needs replacing as the four little trickles of cold water were not really practical. Our toilet broke 3 times and was swiftly repaired .However we kept mentioning the overpowering stench in our room of human waste and nothing was done. Bedding was not changed in two weeks . One of my OMFG moments was being treated to seeing a young French Canadian woman getting her Minnie out on the beach whilst her best mate was taking the photos .. she got the nickname only fans. Her creme da la creme was dry humping the sand in a series of photos . Then we had a couple I nicknamed fight club as they were guaranteed to be pis#ed by 9am and boy would they fight . I literally crapped myself when they sat near us as they were that bad . The food was Horrific and whilst we understand the logistics of obtaining food in cuba it is no excuse for what was served. There was no bread for the second week .No coke or sprite from day 2 .Literally we ate nothing . The leftovers were continually reheated and I am no food snob but believe me starving was the best option. One evening the atmosphere in the buffet area was horrible as almost everyone was angry at having nothing to eat . So the final nail in the coffin for me was the day before we left our room key stopped working again so we plod to reception only to be told we needed to check out . Long story cut short they were evicting us as they got the dates wrong . It was sorted quite quickly but this kind of sums up this place . PLEASE DO NOT TRAVEL HERE

A very poor holiday experience. Food was of a very poor quality and lacked in choice. Rooms are tired and out dated. No beach towels availe for 2 days. I will never visit this hotel again as we could not wait to return home
Relaxing break, helpful staff
