Stayed as a family with 2 children. A large well-groomed hotel area, a normal room - we lived in building 7 on the ground floor, the plumbing is not new, but everything worked, who was in India or Sri Lanka, in general, everything is fine.
The room has air conditioning, mini-fridge, ironing board and iron, hair dryer, TV with 1 Russian-language channel. The room is only lit by floor lamps. The bathroom contained 2 shampoos of 40 ml, 2 body creams and 2 bars of soap, added as needed or requested. We had enough.
We only went to the kids club to swing, but several times we went to the mini-disco (my daughter said that "it is not necessary to understand, you have to repeat after your aunt"). Animation for children in Spanish, English and a little Italian and French, since the main contingent of tourists are Canadians and Italians.
We went to the main restaurant to eat, there is a lot of food: there is meat, fish, and shrimp, for lunch and dinner there are 2 types of soup, papaya, guava, pineapple, watermelon (not sweet at all), grapefruit and oranges, a lot of pastries, different types of Italian cheeses and sausages. But spices are practically not used, so the food seems bland. True, they always put up a lot of different ketchup sauces.
We were lucky with the weather: we arrived a few days after a cold front, a strong wind was blowing, so it was not hot and there were waves on the ocean, the water temperature in the ocean and pool was 26 degrees (it’s cool to enter the water, but then you don’t want to go out). The waves don't hit hard, they don't blow you off your feet. Then the wind died down and it became hot, 32 degrees. Sometimes it drizzled with a fine rain, 5 minutes during the day and longer at night.
There are plenty of sunbeds on the beach and around the pool. The beach is cleaned, the sand is cleaned in the morning. The ocean is magnificent, all shades of blue and blue, with your eyes you see the reality as in the picture. But the sand is not white, but light beige-gray...
In the evening the wind is cool and you need a blouse or a windbreaker, especially for children, and especially at the mini-disco - there is generally a strong draft on the stage. Every evening there is live music in the lobby, and at 21.30 performance on stage (dance or concert). Several times a day, there is a free shuttle from the hotel to the center of Varadero, there is a timetable to the left of the reception.
To the left of the hotel within walking distance of the dolphinarium, for children the most it is: the performance is about 35 minutes, various tricks with dolphins, well done coaches.
There are a few mosquitoes, a repellent for the evening is a must, but in the room our repellent did not work on mosquitoes, they turned on the air conditioner at night, oddly enough, but it helped.
The service is normal, everyone loves tips, they will make them stronger for cookies and coffee, and they will mix the cocktail better. We had problems with the electronic door lock (it was buggy), so by the time I got to the room from the reception, they had already fixed it-)).
Impressions from the rest and the hotel are only positive.

After reading a lot of reviews before going, I understand that you don’t need to listen to anyone, you can listen to useful advice about the absence of toothpaste, wet wipes, etc. , but no more. How many people, so many opinions. In general, the rest is LUXURIOUS, This is not a country, but a fairy tale.

How many people, so many opinions. In general, the rest is LUXURIOUS, This is not a country, but a fairy tale. Everything is just perfect: the hotel, the people, the food. One piece of advice - everything in moderation. Even Canadians repeatedly return HERE (there are owners of silver bracelets), draw your own conclusions. One useful tip - for tea lovers, there is NO tea here, there is, but it tastes like straw. Love tea - take it with you, the rest of everything is in great abundance.

we flew to varadero for 15 days and were just shocked when we saw the hotel where we will live. More precisely, bungalow-type houses from the inside. We arrived at the hotel at 10 pm, went to the reception, registered. I entered the room and went nuts, honestly. the room is old, not very pleasant in every sense.

We arrived at the hotel at 10 pm, went to the reception, registered. I entered the room and went nuts, honestly. the room is old, not very pleasant in every sense. 1024 was the room number. the toilet is just rubbish. as if it had not been washed for a long time, the bath was also not quite clean, and the shower was falling apart in the hands. well, that's 4 stars. even in Egypt 4 stars are better and tidier, and there, apparently, they put stardom from the bulldozer !!!! ! the doors are old, dusty and apparently the tree has already deteriorated from time to time, it is not known.... in short, we spent the night somehow, and in the morning we went to change housing. although we were assured that this is the best room. at the reception, we all said that we were thinking about the so-called excellent ROOM and asked to change. they gave 702. it is a bit better, but there was no other way out, you have to get used to it.....EH! This hotel upset us. cleaning the rooms is a separate issue. clean somehow, but the cookie must be left. everyone wants money. I was present when the cleaner did the cleaning. so she made the beds, washed the glasses, washed the floor, poured the bucket into the toilet.... and left. and who will wash the toilet itself. dirty water was drained there too!!! ! and all this blackness remained on the walls of the toilet bowl!! ! I was shocked. But what about hygiene, sanitary standards? How, sorry for the subtleties, use a dirty toilet. the toilet was still divorced, if I knew I would have brought DOMESTOS!!! ! kills all germs)))))) LET'S GO NOW TO FOOD *) the food is ordinary, not very fresh. very little fruit. they gave fruits and slightly windy, And the sourness slipped. I have a feeling that what was left from breakfast was given in a mixed form for lunch like a new dish. On the 10th day we were tired of this canteen. for breakfast, we ate pancakes that were cooked in front of us and drank juice that was always diluted with water, and there was nothing more to brag about. service left much to be desired. The reviews said that the service is good, the staff is friendly. AHA, NO LIKE THIS!!! ! We are sitting in the canteen, waiting for the mugs until you catch the waiter and ask in a loud tone. first of all, they serve the Spaniards and those who speak the same language with him, and the Russians later. How many times has the picture been like this? Come, sit and wait for someone to come to us. walks by 20 times, sees that there are no glasses on the table, but does not fit. then the Spaniards came, jumped with a bullet. offered wine all in a smile. brought appliances. and we sit like fools. Russians are not particularly in a hurry!!!! ! I don’t know who writes that the hotel is excellent, the staff is responsive, it’s not. or people value themselves so low and are ready to live in such conditions. may not have met better.....but really there 2 + service, food is so-so, the hotel is low in level. what a four in FIG !! ! all our sorrows for living were hidden by the ocean. just gorgeous!!! ! the water is warm, the color is just fabulous. let the white sand with cigarette butts, But this is nonsense !! ! we are satisfied with the beach. tours are expensive. to a crocodile farm for 5200 rubles. The tour is cool, interesting, takes the whole day. we went to the dolphinarium 2 times!! ! I really liked the show))))) we went to Havana!! ! as if we were in another world. historical sites coexist next to slums. EXOTIC DAMN!! ! You have to keep track of things, otherwise they will leave.... the capital is interesting, you have to see it. IN GENERAL, SATISFIED WITH A TRIP TO SUCH A COUNTRY, BUT WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ARENA!

Was in Varadero, hotel Arenas Doradas 4 *. The hotel is located on one of the best beaches of Playa los Tainos, 25 minutes drive from the airport. Consists of a complex of 2-storey bungalows, built surrounded by a tropical garden. The beach is clean, white sand, clear water, and most importantly warm-warm.

Was in Varadero, hotel Arenas Doradas 4 *. The hotel is located on one of the best beaches of Playa los Tainos, 25 minutes drive from the airport. Consists of a complex of 2-storey bungalows, built surrounded by a tropical garden.
The beach is clean, white sand, clear water, and most importantly warm-warm. I just didn’t want to get out of it... probably that’s why I managed to get burned several times during the rest.
As for entertainment, the prices are not cheap. I went on a jeep safari (I liked it !! ), went to the dolphinarium (swimmed with dolphins, I was impressed for several days, only the water where they swim is terrible. Muddy. I was upset that I was in a white swimsuit) but this did not spoil the main impression from swimming with them. )))
we often went to the city on motorcycles, it is about 10 km from the hotel, there are many shops and markets where you can buy souvenirs.
The food is very tasty, the menu is the same every day, but if you consider how much there is, then every day you can try something different and thus diversify. Too bad there wasn't any fruit. there were watermelons, which are green and not sweet, and pineapples, slightly rotten... but this is a trifle. there is so much food that you can’t even reach them.
they have awesome rum, be sure to bring it with you, it costs a penny there, but here it is very expensive. It's a pity that you can only take 2 liters of rum per person. By the way, hotels often offer to buy (not officially) cigars. it's kind of cheaper. but I do not recommend. if you see a real cigar and what they offer, you will immediately feel the difference. although the boxes in which they are stored are very similar. I know that it is possible in Havana on a tour of the factory, for the same money to negotiate with the guards, and they will also take out from under the floor, only good cigars.
I know that september, october, november is a bad time to stay there. they have just winter, the time of showers and hurricanes.
I was satisfied with my vacation!
