Blau Marina Varadero

Holidays from April 18 to 25! Overall, I am not satisfied with my vacation at this resort. My second time to Cuba, my first time in Varadero! Unfortunately, there is a good chance that this is the last time we go to Cuba.

Beautiful beach in all! The staff is friendly and smiling! The complex is generally well maintained.

The food leaves REALLY want. The same varieties of food all week at the buffet. The food is warm, see cold and too cooked. Virtually seafood No choice of fruit. Vegetables blanched. The food had no taste or was too much salt. À la carte restaurant, even food served at the buffet but with a beautiful presentation. Can not eat a la carte restaurant reservation even if the restaurant is empty. For the room, the beds are really incorfortable. If we do not have a King bed, we have two beds pushed together. Not comfortable for couples who want to sleep stick. Very thin pillow. No washcloth in the room. Our TV was defective in our reach, it took more than two days before someone came to see the problem. Clean the bathroom left to want. No change of bed this week, even after asking. Not enough beach towels for all guests. So if you have in your room, it is quite possible that you spend the week with the same power without the exchange of the week. Lack of towels guestrooms. Animation on the beach, though generally but still passed the same songs repeatedly throughout the day and throughout the week. Activities: Tour of Havana. Activity but really beautiful tourist trap. Meal at a popular restaurant in Havana but no choice of menu and meals not very typical. Difficult to be able to take some time to'' shop'' in small shops. Many buses do (4hrs return). Acitivity: The Katamaran Katamaran part is nice. Good entertainment on the boat. The apnea part so not worth it. Too many people in the same small place. Equipment apnea old and damaged. For the part of the Cayo Blanco, tourist trap island. Far from being a deserted island. Buffet on site. The food was cold and dry. In the leaflets they sell a menu of seafood and fish. No fish and some small pieces of lobster cooked in tomato sauce. Many overcooked and tasteless. They offer to pay 12 pesos for cuitent lobster tails on the grill. Very small lobsters and not worth the price. Big difference in flavor between the two drink bars in the hotel. The complex is very large, therefore, long walks are required to go to the lobby, buffet, bar and theater. New complex under construction in front of the hotel. Not very loud but 24hrs work on 24. So there is a lot of back and forth and lights. Last thing, they sell the VIP lounge of the Airport for the return. Far too expensive for what it's worth!

Hotel well maintained. Superb beach with lots of palapas and chairs. Correct food, without more, very good service. Perfect for a week.

Smiling and very friendly staff.

Even though the hotel displays 5 stars, I would give him a small 4.

Virtually the last Hotel on the island of Varadero, a vast complex aligned directly along the beach. Peaceful place, engaging staff, concerns the happiness of its customers. Easily access more or less than 30-minutes to downtown Varadero by tourist bus 2 floors, 5 pesos for the day. Near Plaza Las Americas (this-said, the prices are really overkill for what is there from outside the country). Discos at the scene of the complex, air conditioned, good music easy to create atmosphere. Activities numerous day at the beach in the morning from 10 until 13h (stretching, volleyball, petanque aerobics in the sea, mini dance and picine # 1 15h to 17h Aqua Volleyball games with price the winner, aerobics, mini dance ... The leaders all speak pretty good English and a little French and Italian also. The evening entertainment in the theater for children before the show (different every night) good dancers, beautiful costumes, fun. food very varied! At the buffet, cooked the meat / fresh fish, cooked to a pulp (depending on availability) for a cooked pizza. trays of cheese, whole wheel of parmesan reggiano! charcuterie platters, baskets of breads, fresh vegetables / marinated salads, different soup every day, stew pork, chicken braised beef with Thai Rice varied Ratatouille, cannelloni, Agnoletti .... Several cakes and ice cream at different scent. Avoid coffee buffet, taste not the instant hot enough. My thing in the morning I go get me a cappuccino at the bar before lobbey sit at the buffet and in the evening I takes theater bar prendant the show. There is also a mini club for children (I visited out of curiosity) well equipped and air conditioned games. Much romper fenced and several outdoor games also. Facilitators are very caring with children and know how to create a relationship of trust quickly throughout the stay. complex is long, you can expect to walk perhaps more than elsewhere but ideal for digestion after a whole day lying around doing nothing ! There is a buggy service for those who desire, but can be a bit long to wait as requested.

I am a customer of this hotel since the time of the Barcelo chain and now that people have taken the Blau chain since last year, I note several positive changes and especially a desire to make the stay of each customer and pleasant create a strong relationship of loyalty. I noticed that the staff is very well treated and it is reflected in the warm and attentive service. The beach is long and beautiful, There are 3 different picines, the # 1 is busy, waterslide, swim-up bar, music apm. A swimming pool # 2 is much more quiet and romantic, jet water fountain, lush ... For drinks, the bar El Faro restaurant nearby. I have not visited the # 3 this trip it. The bar staff'' water'' to picine # 1 is really fun, winking at Marylis, a small energetic brunette! Birds singing morning and evening ... so relaxing and enjoyable!

I noted several problems with levels of public bathrooms around the site, doors that do not barred, burned lights, toilets that do not work ... I talked with one of directuer and the next day everything was settled. Congratulations! I know they have taken a hotel that needs some TLC here and there due to time and temperature (heavy rain / ouragant) and they have a lot of work but if you take the trouble to talk to good people, they do everything to fix the situation as soon as possible. The comfort of armchairs Lobey could be better, especially for older people or those with shorter legs. Rooms: The pillows are okay, but a renewal would be appreciated as well as bedspreads and chairs coverest if I can be more demanding at this level. Paint can also be redesigned and refreshed in the rooms ... That said, it has not marred my stay. Range: More sections of palapas and loungers would be necessary in high season. This is not the space shortage! Bring your spray for mosquitoes, they are very voracious evening near the disco, outdoor restaurants and the theater ... But it does not change the nature!

Hotel well anyway

Kindness people

Temperature of Cold buffet always!

Section privilege perfect

Family section inadvisable we demenage has the privilege section after 3 days they had had enough. Cayo section Liberdad very respectable.

We had a fabulous vacation at the Blau Varadero marina from 22 to 29 March. I highly recommend

The staff is friendly. The food is very good at the buffet, a la carte Mexican, it was very good. Against by the Italian, to avoid. The maintenance staff is still in the process of rubbing, it's really clean. The beach is beautiful, there's always room under the palapas at any time of day.

At the pool where there is sliding very difficult to get places, people reserve chairs early in the day, but do not return before the end of the day. It's unfortunate for those like me who need to monitor their children but who have no place because of selfish people who want to have a place of choice while taking advantage of other facilities.

Travel 7 to 14 February 2013.Hotel vaiment great. I recommend it to everyone. You will not be disappointed.

Site really clean, impeccable service, very good food to Cuba (we're not in Quebec), very nice staff and beautiful beach with chairs for everyone.

I'm looking and I do not really find. The huge site so if we had a room on the other side maybe it would have been tanning to walk 20 minutes each time What wanted to go to buffet or reception but it was not our case So I have nothing to say.

Nice place, but the quality of the food and service has taken a heavy landing. A couple of friends who are regulars was with me on this trip and it was they who were able to compare the overall low all services compared to their last visits. You have been warned.

beautiful complex with a lot of default, I would not recommend it to nobody!

cleanliness throughout the site, beautiful beaches, calm!

no beer, diet coke this week requiring ds buy, not for a strong all-inclusive!, all buffet dishes are cool little animation on the site, we were building 2417,2407,2307 ds is far from everything we have to walk about 15min to get reception or buffet, few carts available tjr if not full, we had more of a thunderstorm with a flood across the room, not very isolated

Complex well maintained and friendly staff, site tranquille.Plage almost deserted in the part where we were staying.

The restaurant El Faro met us extraordinarily waitresses use.The main bar and music shows great class.

this is the buffet that we déçu.Trop of clients simultaneously for so many customers would nécessaire.Pour the two sites a la carte restaurants, the only option was 21 hours too late. Our group of nine people was very disappointed with the service and quality Italian restaurant, the Spanish restaurant we forget because we had canceled bookings in our room and they did not understand and did not seem to want us here if tard.Pas other possibilities for the 3 rd la carte restaurant, m ^ me by booking the day after our arrival.
