Barcelo Solymar / Reviews

Very nice hotel with lots of vegetation. Great beach, white sand, no rocks, beautiful clear water. Everything we ate was very good. We were in the hotel section and not in the bungalows which are a little closer to the beach but unless renewed. Around Varadero, is to walk along the beach or the city. Very nice trip. Very good price / quality ratio.

Windy or the week we were there (14-02 to 21-02) and very often around 16:00 we had put our thrillers to stay on the beach. The last 2 days the wind was so strong that it was forbidden to swim in the sea as strong waves brought back to the edge of jellyfish. But of course this is the fault of persone and there was plenty of lifeguards on the beach who saw to the safety of people compared to other hotels nearby.

Very nice hotel. The site is full of mature trees and beautiful vegetation. The staff of a la carte restaurants and buffet its very simpatique. The site is very clean and the beach is superb. We enjoyed our trip. This hotel is very close to downtown Varadero, about 10 minutes walk, which is an asset.

Rooms in need of being refreshed. The smell of moisture is present. The mattresses begins to be very soft. The service in the pool snack bar is really rotten. Even with a lot of tip does not change. The servers have a pig face and does not move quickly. More than 25 minutes and they did not come see us when we were only 3 tables. As for bars, service is slow and it will not make you so much, even if you give a tip .......

Very nice, clean and accueillant.À short distance from the center of Varadero, we went there often pieds.Nous have paid a carriage ride by asking the driver if he could tell us about his region and the history of Varadero it was very intéressant.Les Cubans are nice and friendly as those who inhabit the city as the hotel staff all speak English and many speak French even outside the hotel. We always bring a suitcase of clothes, school supplies , soap etc.. we give to people who live behind the town center that can make beautiful meetings do not hesitate to talk to them with some Spanish words and English they are able to understand you. We stayed from 26/01 to 2/02 lots of sun, rain heat 3 hrs + +, no jacket required for dinner! We are a family of six, had 2 rooms bungalow, we were near the sea and loby.Les rooms are large, it smells good, generally quiet unless you have neighbors with disrespectful that there is nothing to do. The buffet is good and hot fish is very good, there are many varieties and the service is personalized course they love the tips they are not more stupid than us. The Italian restaurant is very good service and excellent quality of food. The beach is the best I've seen, deep, long to take long walks, white sand and translucent sea is no roches.Il are enough chairs and palapas for everyone, sometimes you must pm look for them. Ever we ran out of towels at all hours of day until 19hres.L animation is present they try to involve you + + are present with children, although there are few. This is a quiet, if you want to party and meet singles do not go you'll be disappointed. There are several catamarants and kayaks, swimming pools are well maintained, there is the calm and the other or is the animation.

The seafood restaurant was regular service too fast as if they want to fuck off, mussels and fish were better at the buffet. Everything we ordered, they did not that night, but the servers do not have informed us before. Our four mattresses were too soft to the point of sleeping badly in the long run.

We enjoyed the buffet of Creole cuisine as well as hearty breakfast accompanied by sparkling, We also enjoyed the smiles and the friendliness of most of the hotel employees who speak at least English and often French. The quiet of this hotel also been much appreciated.

Super site Hotellier beautiful pools and lush vegetation. Spectacular beach. Service at the beach bar by Neda's fine. The a la carte restaurant defend themselves, especially the Chinese. Ps: I advise you to have 2 copies of your passport, one for your own safety in case of loss and another for check in, because it keeps your passport (which is not pleasant) time they make a copy (the Cubans did not invent the speed).

THE standard buffet, the club closes at 2:00 in the morning. This is bruiyant after this time, because the party animal out of the club and sing. Oops it's true I was in the lot most days. Ontario too much for my taste, but what do you, I love them in small doses. Go to see the dolphins, they are pitiful. This is the only regret of my trip.

Excellent service, friendly Cubans. Relatively a good place for young singles because there were some (disappointing at first, but compared to other hotels!). The only hotel of approximately ca or playing beach volleyball a lot! ... MIAMM! The beach is unbeatable! The most beautiful beach of nearby hotels, no rock!

Too many Quebecois has varadero, if you do not want to be dépaysagé is perfect (90% of hotels is not an exaggeration!). But I will travel precisely the opposite. The food is ordinary, but OK for CUBA .. it's like this everywhere in cuba. is not spoken of the Dominican Republic.

They had sought advice from friends who had already been and was not disappointed. Everything was good: the location, the beach, the site, etc.. We had bad comments from the food and we expected the worst: the Solymar was very good food. We would return without hesitation at Solymar.

No swimming in the sea as soon as it is a wave. Very disappointing. During the first two days, red flag. There are much bigger waves in Cancun and it was right for swimming!

The hotel in general was great. I have nothing but good comments to give. The beaches are beautiful, and really sympahtique staff, the rooms are like the pictures on the website, the food is good, better than any other hotel in Varadero that I heard .... short, this is undoubtedly THE best hotel in Varadero and I would reserve the same spot if I have to go back!

Courteous and dedicated staff at the hotel, and some are making efforts to speak a little French. At mealtimes, we were in the section of Yorge and had excellent service. The buffet comes to the same thing for two days, it's up to us to change our menus ... the food is ordinary ... Have made Safari tour, it was very pleasant. Regarding the Catamaran, be careful when booking, there are 2 kinds of excursions to see dolphins, take the one with the show for another trip up to the government and they do not care about us.

Arriving late at night, we could see the site of our room all night, it was noisy as next oil change ... workers were noisy. We asked for another room but it took two days for availability and had to pay 10 pesos Addit. per day of occupancy. However, the price was worth the cost, side pool and sea view on the 4th floor: exceptional! Asked Catamaran excursion with French and were mixed with Russian and Polish ... not pleasant at all and they had to translate English + French, the translation was not done in French!

Great beach hotel was beautiful the outside really beautiful. The weather was good 7 days a little cloud in the soiré but no rain, the outdoor store lhotel puma and adidas made cheap (5 min foot)! and mall las americas Was ok with a small grocery with good food cheap. rum really GOOD bartender waitress server and really nice and helpful.

we get tired down at 11:30 am and we had to wait until our room 18h in the evening (really not fun with the great heat there was). Food really good not always the same thing every night, always eggs in all! the club sandwich and the burger I passe.les sausage hot dog fried in cheese lhuile yark.le I really do not even speak bon.ma ROOM sheets Do not change it duran my stay despite the request ( there was a weird spot on my sheets is to stay all week), air conditioning does not fonctionnai, shower broken.
