Upon arrival at Varadero, we went through customs very quickly, from the airport to the hotel it was a 30-minute drive, we were already at the hotel at about 13:00, check-in from 16:00, but while we went to the dining room, had lunch, looked at the territory, the ocean is excellent so good that it’s not noticed how time passed.

Upon arrival at Varadero, we went through customs very quickly, from the airport to the hotel it was a 30-minute drive, we were already at the hotel at about 13:00, check-in from 16:00, but while we went to the dining room, had lunch, looked at the territory, the ocean is excellent so good that it’s not noticed how time passed. We got a room in the southern building, a bungalow, a standard room, a hairdryer, shower gel, shampoo, and even an iron, which is very rare. Cleaned every day, towels changed every other day. They don’t touch anything, although there were chocolate, sausage, and cheese in the refrigerator. Meals are standard as in all all-inclusive hotels, meat (chicken, pork, beef), fish, fruits, vegetables, cheeses, sausages, yogurt, ice cream, were not hungry. Animations every evening live music, dancing, whoever wants to dance will dance, it will not be boring.
We caught good Wi-Fi even in the room, although we lived far from the lobby, we really liked the hotel, the ocean is just gorgeous, warm, the beach is clean, there are enough sunbeds for everyone. And some cons:
-No glasses, cups (bring your own)
-Need to renew Wi-Fi every day
I highly recommend this hotel, we liked it.

I really enjoyed my stay in Cuba. Before leaving, I considered many reviews about this hotel, they were 50% to 50. Having visited the hotel as a traveler with many years of experience, I can say that the hotel is quite decent for 67.000 per person for 10 nights, the service is normal, the food is super. The coast is one for all hotels, the ocean is mesmerizing.

The presence of eternally drunk compatriots. sometimes there was no hot ox in the soul

Rest arose spontaneously, and the price turned up good, and Christmas and New Year, and we have never been to Cuba, more and more in Asia. We rested with children (11 and 12 years old). The check-in took place according to the regulations, 1.00. The room was good, all the beds were in place, the refrigerator was working, the air conditioner too, the sockets were working.

Rest arose spontaneously, and the price turned up good, and Christmas and New Year, and we have never been to Cuba, more and more in Asia. We rested with children (11 and 12 years old). The check-in took place according to the regulations, 1.00. The room was good, all the beds were in place, the refrigerator was working, the air conditioner too, the sockets were working. In principle, everything is not bad, except of course the appearance of all the attributes of this room. But we have come to rest, and not to consider all the shortcomings of the hotel. As for nutrition, I’ll say this, everything is very modest, it reminded me of a dead canteen, complete unsanitary conditions, it’s even scary to think what is going on in their kitchen. Cubans do not know how to cook, everything is either too overcooked or undercooked, they can even ruin fish. But no, I forgot, it was delicious ice cream, the children just ate it. Fruits are papaya, unripe pineapple, mini oranges, green bananas. In general, everything is not very good in the dining room, but you won’t bring extra pounds home.
Room cleaning, yes, we can say that it was not there at all, although we constantly left a present or 1 cookie, maybe the hotel was overcrowded? The hotel was actually 100% full.
In general, you get used to the hotel and living conditions on the third day, but I DO NOT advise tourists who are accustomed to good hotels. It is better to pay extra and relax in a good 5 Spanish class, yes, yes, choose hotels of a Spanish chain. Although the same sluts-Cubans work there, but there is definitely more order !!!
A huge plus is the Atlantic Ocean, very clean and beautiful! The beach is ordinary, there were enough sunbeds for everyone, i. e. at 5 in the morning you do not need to borrow.
To sum it up, a Cuban hotel is a match for Cuba. If you do not intend to spend your vacation on the territory of the hotel, but are going to travel, then you can also go to this hotel, for the money it is good.
With regards to travel, please pay attention to your budget, the prices are unreasonably high.

Good day to all who are now reading reviews and choosing a hotel for themselves, or just getting to know Cuba and planning a trip to this beautiful island. There is one expression: - "The one who has ever been to Cuba either comes here again and again, or never comes back. " This is such a unique country. For some, this is a return to the scoop, for others, hospitality, fun, the unique spirit of freedom and the incomparable beauty of this island and the ocean.

Good day to all who are now reading reviews and choosing a hotel for themselves, or just getting to know Cuba and planning a trip to this beautiful island. There is one expression: - "The one who has ever been to Cuba either comes here again and again, or never comes back. " This is such a unique country. For some, this is a return to the scoop, for others, hospitality, fun, the unique spirit of freedom and the incomparable beauty of this island and the ocean. So we visited here for the first time this year and now we will become its regular guests. We prepared for a long time, read about the country and customs, what is better to take and what to bring from there. We chose a hotel that was not the most expensive, what awaits us was approximately expected, and in reality it turned out not to be so scary. A small group of people went from our plane to the hotel, flew from the annex with azur, the flight went well, but still such a long distance is exhausting. The hotel was already in 25 minutes, just around 7 am. The bracelets were not given to us immediately, but they sent us for breakfast without delay. Immediately after breakfast, we were given cards from the room, and we went to sort out our things. The room was originally booked in the main building, not in the bungalow. We knew that the bungalows are further from the beach, and the rooms themselves are worse. I advise you to book the North building, this is the name of the main building, the bungalow is South. We planned many trips around Cuba and certainly explored Varadero itself. So the hotel was chosen exclusively in the resort of Varadero itself, but not in the very center, so that the beach would be cleaner and there would be fewer people. Our travel agent knew all the nuances and suggested this moment, and not only. But most importantly, fast and high-quality service, and even you could contact him at any time already on vacation on any issue, he always helped us. Yes, the room is not new, but if you do not skimp on tips, then both water and bath accessories will be replenished. Housekeeping immediately improved dramatically, and a few cookies at the bar turned the drinks into a VIP level. The coffee was simply outstanding. There you can also buy excellent rum from the bartenders at a price lower than even in duty free. The food is normal, the choice is large, but try not to try those dishes that you are not used to, then there will be no surprises with the stomach. We most often ate from the grill, the fish was especially delicious, awesome. It's not the season for fruits yet, but pineapples are very good, always delicious ice cream and yogurt. The service is a little worse, due to the poverty of the general population, tips are always welcome. Internet only hourly by cards. The most unique thing is the beach. Once a week it is reseeded, they try to keep it clean, they clean it once exactly, in the evening, we saw for ourselves how several guys collect garbage and fold the sunbeds. In the morning they stand already arranged. I don’t see the point in talking about excursions, everyone will choose for themselves what they want to see the most, but Havana is definitely worth a visit. It is advisable to take mosquito repellent with you, it will come in handy. From Cuba and the ocean under a pleasant impression to this day.

I think that most of the reviews about Cuba are based on the fact that people simply have no idea where they are going. I think that this should in no way affect hotels that are expected to provide Maldivian service or Turkish animation. Everything is completely different here. Therefore, I consider all the negative reviews not entirely justified.

I think that most of the reviews about Cuba are based on the fact that people simply have no idea where they are going. I think that this should in no way affect hotels that are expected to provide Maldivian service or Turkish animation. Everything is completely different here. Therefore, I consider all the negative reviews not entirely justified. The first thing I want to say is that Cuba is a country that still lags behind other resorts in many ways, the country is not rich, there are still sanctions, there is a peculiar idea about the service, and it is decades behind in time. Yes, and the hotels are all owned at least partially by the state, from this and everything that follows. When you understand this, you will look at many things with different eyes. We really liked the hotel, take some small money for a tip, and you will understand that tips do millet miracles with service and attitude. For them, a couple of cookies, this is a huge increase in salary, and having spent not so much, you can relax in an ordinary hotel with chic service. Specifically, we flew to Cuba for nightclubs, a gorgeous beach, unique rum and cigars. And the beach here is really great! The sea is excellent, the water is clean and transparent as a tear, the water is warm, but not hot, 25+ degrees. There is no heat yet, during the day the temperature does not rise above 27-28 degrees, and at night it is somewhere around 20. In general, the most comfortable weather for us, super. The food at the hotel is excellent, just don't take what you doubt, but the meat and fish are amazing, especially on the grill. There are many fruits, all tasty and ripe. The bars are open 24 hours, they make awesome cocktails, give a little tip and you will feel a huge difference. The staff at the hotel is pleasant, everyone smiles, they want to help, but you don’t need to swear, just smile, and everything will be fine. It’s also worth going to Havana, it will be a very interesting and exciting experience. There we bought rum and cigars, the cost is lower, and the quality is an order of magnitude better. It is worth walking through the restaurants and the most beautiful places in Havana. The Hemingway House Museum, the San Salvador Fortress, Granma, La Fuerza Castle, you can’t count everything. Finally, a little about the rooms. We booked an ocean view room and enjoyed the amazing view every day. . The rooms are spacious, not new, this is their only drawback. The cleaning is good, bedding and towels are always clean and fresh. Animation is, for the most part, incendiary dances and music, but you can also exercise if you wish. There are two swimming pools for adults and children. The depth is good, but we did not swim in them, because swimming in the ocean cannot be compared with any pool. The territory is very beautiful, a lot of shade and greenery, clean and well maintained. So keep in mind that the hotel is 4 *, this is Cuba, and you will be happy)).

We flew to Cuba together. I just want to clarify a couple of things. First, take some warm clothes, because in the evening you may need them. Secondly, if you are flying to Cuba for the first time, then be sure to set aside some money for a trip to Havana, it will save you in bad weather, and you simply cannot understand the whole flavor of this country without it.

We flew to Cuba together. I just want to clarify a couple of things. First, take some warm clothes, because in the evening you may need them. Secondly, if you are flying to Cuba for the first time, then be sure to set aside some money for a trip to Havana, it will save you in bad weather, and you simply cannot understand the whole flavor of this country without it. Well, the most important aspect, when checking in, it is better not to stay in the main building. Let the view from the window be not the best, but for that the rooms are cleaner and newer. We originally had a room in the buildings behind the main one, and we met a couple at the hotel who lived in the main building, visited their room and realized that we were very lucky. The room itself is not bad, flat screen TV, free safe, iron and ironing board, refrigerator. Cleaning is normal, maybe just lucky with the maid, or maybe a chocolate bar and a couple of cookies contributed to this)). But the towels were changed on time, made swans on the bed. For a couple of days, the water in the tap was just warm, but even then you could rinse. The view from the room was on the garden and partly on the road, but this is not critical. In the morning you could sit on the balcony with a cup of coffee, and in the evening with a glass of rum, and the rum is really very good). So if you don’t sit in the room, then it’s even good. When the weather was bad, we took excursions, we especially liked the trip to Havana with a private guide in a vintage car. Personal approach, a lot of interesting things, and it comes out cheaper. Service in restaurants and bars is normal, if you do not take into account the details. The bars generally worked great. And in a restaurant, if you sweeten the waiter a little, it will also be no worse. The food is not bad, very tasty omelettes for breakfast, excellent grilled meat and fish for lunch, delicious coffee in the lobby. The staff is a little lazy, but we thanked one waiter and we had our own table and good service for the whole stay. A la carte is also worth a visit, at least once. In Italian, I really liked the service and the dishes themselves. There is also a 24-hour bar with various snacks and fast food, and they cook it deliciously. He saved us a lot after long walks in the center of Varadero and there were always few people there. The animation at the hotel is weak, especially if the weather deteriorated, then the animation itself disappeared. There was live music in the evenings, in good weather, entertainment and dancing near the pool and a couple of good evening performances, but this is not the most important thing. The beach is amazing, we swam almost every day. We had enough sunbeds and even in bad weather the water was warm. So, in combination with excursions, we had a great rest, and despite the little things, the rest was super.

The hotel is certainly not perfect but the price is very affordable. In general, everything is not bad for a holiday for two, it’s normal, but with children I don’t know much for them, there are slides for you, etc. The territory is large and beautiful. The hotel itself, of course, is already a little in need of repair, but in fact this does not affect the rest.

The hotel itself, of course, is already a little in need of repair, but in fact this does not affect the rest. The beach is great, beautiful ocean. The entrance to the water is comfortable algae can be said no. White sand beauty all around. With a place of problems there are no sunbeds a lot. But the animation is for an amateur, firstly in Spanish, and quite boring, so fans of fun are clearly not here. We, on the contrary, liked everything because we do not like animation, the vanity is not ours. We prefer seal rest more) Well, if it’s interesting, this is an acquaintance with the country and excursions) In terms of where to go, the hotel has a plus that there is a bus stop nearby. So4 that it is inexpensive to get where you want, and of course you can take a taxi, but this is already much more expensive. As for the price, the hotel is affordable and the price corresponds to the quality. The room is also generally not bad there is everything you need and a free safe and an iron with an ironing board. The furniture is not new but I can praise for the comfortable bed. The cleaning of the room is good, but the balcony has not yet been addressed to the reception with a claim, they have not been cleaned at all. So after applying, they removed it after an hour. With food, I won’t say that the main restaurant is excellent, but there is a choice of food and they cook well, yes, I didn’t like everything, but the choice is large enough so that there is a varied diet. I also recommend the a la carte fish there and the shrimp are cool and the fish is cooked perfectly. But he's on the record. The only thing is that it is not enough fruit. Well, you can survive) And so a good hotel!

Well, if you don’t like something, take another dish, the choice allows more than. And there are no queues. The beach bar will provide drinks and snacks. The selection of sweets is also quite large. The staff works well, considering what we read in the reviews about Cuba, I won’t say that it’s slow. Yes, and many understand our language. The people are generally nice and cheerful! Well, the fact that the cleaning of the rooms on a four is nothing to worry about) The room is also quite acceptable. They knew where they were going from the beginning. So they weren't surprised. Repairs and furniture are not new, but not all that dead. The walls are not shabby, the furniture is not falling apart and there is no mold in the bathroom. Well, except that the door creaked when opened, so it's generally a trifle. We went for the beach! And here everything is super and clean and the water is class. And there were plenty of sunbeds for everyone. . We are very happy with the beach! And the area is green well-groomed. Everywhere is clean. And the price of the hotel is affordable. Excursions were taken from the hotel guide to Havana. I also liked everything. And the hotel has something to do besides the beach. Water polo, water basketball, beach volleyball, darts, bowling, mini golf, table tennis and other board games, catamaran, windsurfing, kayak, snorkeling, water skiing, diving lessons, gym, sauna, jacuzzi, bicycles. In general, the whole mass. I won’t list what is free of charge) In general, we had a great rest and I recommend the hotel!

In Cuba, we rested for the first time as a family of 3 people. The most memorable of course was the ocean. It just doesn't get out of our heads. Soft white sand, clear as a tear, water. Just delight! A few words about the beach itself. The beach is quite long and there are plenty of sunbeds on it, they didn’t lie on each other’s heads.

In Cuba, we rested for the first time as a family of 3 people. The most memorable of course was the ocean. It just doesn't get out of our heads. Soft white sand, clear as a tear, water. Just delight! A few words about the beach itself. The beach is quite long and there are plenty of sunbeds on it, they didn’t lie on each other’s heads. On the beach there is a beach boy who moved the sunbeds and kept order. Everything was cleaned up, we did not come across any garbage anywhere. There are free water activities. For beach towels, you need to leave a deposit of 15 CUC, but they will be returned to you upon departure. We changed them every day near the pool. In general, the ocean and the beach are just flawless. It is for him that we came here. The hotel is worth the money, no doubt. Slightly let the number down. The furniture is a little old, the bed creaked, but everything else is very good. The room has a free safe, iron and ironing board. Dust and floors were wiped every day and to the conscience. Twisted and twirled sculptures of towels, various animals, little men, flowers. It turned out very natural. The area of the hotel is large and insanely beautiful. Well maintained plants, bushes and trees. There is where to retire and enjoy the unforgettable nature of Cuba. Bars and cafes are scattered throughout the hotel. Local alcohol is beyond praise, men and women will certainly appreciate it. They also make excellent coffee, I recommend it. It is very difficult to find fault with food. All meat and fish dishes are prepared right in front of you, and their variety is huge. Vegetables and fruits for every taste, I think to list everything, it's just not worth it. All drinks are carried by the waiters, so they didn’t always have time, but these are trifles. Entertainment shows were held in the evenings, during the day there was animation by the pool, we did not get bored. I also want to thank all the staff of the hotel for their friendliness, responsiveness and smiles. We will definitely return.

The ocean is fabulous! The water is very beautiful and the beach is large and wide. This is the biggest impression of the hotel. And the entrance to the water is a convenient depth, not at once, but even to a depth of several meters. Bathing shoes are not required. Moreover, you can swim in a kayak or catamaran for free.

The beach is well cleaned. Well, if you are tired of the ocean, there are good pools and a cocktail to drink and just lie down) Although the pool only baldeli almost did not dip. And why do you need to go here from overseas. The area is beautiful and big. Birds sing green everywhere. You can take a walk and just relax. We also took bicycles and rode very cool, it was immersed in childhood. We were stunned by the massage and there is still a gym but did not attend. Food with a wide choice. Everyone will find what he likes. A lot of fruits. And a sea of food. You can find food around the clock, too, and about drinking. The alcohol is good and the bartenders are funny) They always smile and joke and not only the bartenders. All the staff are very nice people. Thank them for their hospitality! Animation in the hotel is very funny. An excellent team and work conscientiously when they rest is generally incomprehensible) In general, chic and brilliance and not a hotel, we are happy that we visited here!
