My truth
Jerry R (Kitchener, Canada) on Nov 01, 2024
Went to Cuba for the very first time. The resort itself is very beautiful. We had requested a wheelchair accessible room. When we got there we were told they had none!..Big disappointment there!! The wheelchair we came with would NOT fit through the washroom door. Luckily the resort provided one that would otherwise we would have been screwed. I did NOT find the hotel management to be helpful. The hotel staff the takes care of the room were ONLY friendly if you left something for them on the bed..if not ..they were NOT attentive!! The food was good if you don't mind eating the same thing everyday. The main lady that runs the store in the resort was NOT a nice person at all!! Very unfriendly. The servers in the Cafe never had a smile of their faces unless you gave them money. The entire place is about tipping. I find it laughable that you have to spend your hard earned money tipping this person and that person. Like I said "the resort itself is very beautiful. The grounds were fairly well kept.

My stay at Melia Varadero was quite average. The hotel had a lively, international atmosphere, with many guests coming from Russia, creating a diverse environment. However, the buffet hall was often very loud and busy, making mealtime feel overwhelming. Additionally, the food, including coffee and hot dishes, was often served cold. On a positive note, the staff in the buffet hall were very friendly and attentive. We also tried to book a table at the à la carte restaurant, but reservations could only be made at 8:30 in the morning, and they filled up extremely quickly, making it hard to secure a spot. Our room felt old and needed updating. We were also placed directly above the snackbar, which stayed noisy until around 2 AM most nights, and we weren’t given any warning about this beforehand. We ended up going out of the hotel frequently, and the reception staff assisted us in getting taxis. However, it often felt like they were trying to make the prices unnecessarily high, which left us unsure of who to believe or trust. Overall, the stay was decent but not exceptional. If you enjoy an all-inclusive experience with a bustling crowd, this might be suitable for you.
