First trip together with my beautiful sweet angel!!
Ray C (Burlington, Canada) on Jan 07, 2026
The location of the hotel was in a good spot! Near the end..but still close! Really scrappy place.. but we had a BLAST!! The pool was nice and big, good show put on one night with synchronized swimmers, beach is AMAZING!! The staff were great(the ones we met), dont leave anything out unless you want to lose it. We had a bottle of sunscreen stolen the 2nd day there!! We did have e only 3 out of 7nice days to pool, beach, tan and snorkel!! Just dont let your fiancee touch the instructor, he'll think it's "go time"!! The snack bar is HORRIBLE.. lack of choices for food, let alone what they feed you with the substandard quality and portions. The bars outside of the lobby and snack bar had very limited hours and WAAAAY too heavy with the liquor! Let's talk about the substandard rooms they house you in! The closets had broken shelves, faucet dripped constantly (costs alot), they give you only 2 bath towels and 2 bea h towels for the week, the rooms were super cold, then too warm to sleep, tv had 42 channels last 2 were not together with only 3 english channels and 1 was CNN - made NYE fun!!, no batteries for the remote so that meant you spent 5 minutes just to get to an english channel because the button to go up was not fully working (had to get it just right to go anywhere), the volume button was slow to work as well and the rest did nothing. The TV also had an hour and a half timer before it threatened to turn off on you and the 1 movie channel also liked to replay the movies it played earlier (5 hours)! Above all, we had a great time mostly because we were together!!! Im happy I asked her to Marry me...she's amazing!!! We're done Cuba, thanks for all the Memories we've shared...
Worst Cuban Vacation Ever!
Angelo F on Jan 06, 2026
I have visited Cuba over a dozen times and Varadero at least 10 times. My first time in 1991 was not a great experience and my last one this past Dec, was the worst. Hotel was sold as a 5 star, it was barely a 3 star. 1st Room front door didn't lock, safe didn't work, no hot water, towels that smelled of BO, curtains not functional, screen door broken, toilet paper is limited, toilet had the wrong size seat, room has not been updated for at least 10 years. 2nd room just slightly better, we gave up and accepted just so that we didn't waste our vacation trying to get a decent room, Food menu is limited, thank god for ham and cheese. Food was always cold, snack bar had limited supply. Bars other than the lobby bar didn't serve Havana Club Rum (why?) What happened to the famous Cuban coffee. It tasted awful all week. Pool was dirty when we arrived and all week no one cleaned it. Staff was super friendly and did what they could with the limited resources, bar staff were great. I will never be going back. Shame on the tour operators for sending people to this resort
