They don’t care much about what happened
luisaanyway21 on Nov 29, 2025
The sliding door was broken, and the manager on duty the day we were robbed told us that the hotel is not responsible for any items left on the balcony. I paid a lot of money to stay in the ‘Royal’ area, supposedly the most expensive and secure one, and you’re telling me you’re not responsible? Are you serious?”
Great value!
Ohthelloh (Cambridge, Canada) on Nov 28, 2025
I stayed at this hotel when it first opened in 2000. It was magnificent in 2000. There was lobster at the buffet. They served glasses of champagne at the beach every morning. My room was perfect. It was truly a 5 star, world class resort in 2000. Fast forward to November 2025. It is necessary to manage and lower your expectations. This is not a 5 star resort. In Mexico, it would be a 3 star. I was fortunate that in my room the shower worked (low pressure, but workable). The air conditioning and the toilet also worked. For many other Canadians staying at the resort, they had issues with showers and/or toilets not working in their rooms. Many people also had issues with their air conditioning not working. To the credit of the resort, most people with these issues were resolved by fixing them in their room or switching to upgraded rooms on the Royal side of the resort. I paid $1,000 Canadian dollars for one week. For what I paid and what I drank it's excellent value. The beach is amazing. The staff are great. The grounds and the facilities are clean. The snack bar is open 24 hours and serves hamburgers, hot dogs, sardine sandwiches and fries in addition to 24 hour alcohol. I only ate at the snack bar and the buffet restaurant. For breakfast at the buffet restaurant, I had a fresh omelet with many different vegetables to choose from to add to my omelet. The buffet had chicken, beef, pork, calamari, rice, squash, watermelon, papaya, etc for lunch. A number of people complained that the resort ran out of wine. It may be worthwhile to pack a bottle of wine or buy a bottle in town if you're a wine drinker. I drank beer, vodka and international gin which were all plentiful and included. The espresso martinis are excellent! The resort was 80% Canadians, 15% Russians & 5% others. During my November visit most of the visitors were retirees (age 60 and over). When I visited in Feb 2025, most of the visitors were younger (40s, 50s). The beach is amazing! There are no vendors trying to sell you anything on the beach. There are no Cubans on the beach. It is tourists only. It is worthwhile to pack some water shoes as there are some broken sea shells for the first 10 meters or so when you enter the water. After that 10 m, it's all soft sand in the water. Pack Bug Spray! If you want to go into downtown Varadero, a taxi costs $20 US dollars each way. I recommend the Beatles Bar where live classic rock music is performed
