Positive :

Definitely among the best deals in Varadero in category 4 stars. The site is beautiful, the personel is very friendly, the drinks are good and very accesible, the beach is beautiful and this is one of the most dynamic places to party. I wonder about the relevance of adding more ½ star hotel but is nevertheless an excellent 4 stars. Several small extra interesting: Sparkling at lunch, water bottles and beer cans renewed without fresh in the fridge. The hotel is in my opinion more interesting than the bungalow because it offers a beautiful sea view and a substantial saving.

Negative :

The bed was really disappointing, very uncomfortable with foam pillows and bedding of very low quality and questionable cleanliness. For the bed: 2 stars! The air conditioner does not perform well in hot weather when the nights can be long. The cleanliness of the room was adequate at best. And the classic cuba ... food that has the function of our subsistence needs. At the antithesis of the other employees, those of water sports are not interested in serving you unless it is to buy their catamaran snorkeling excursion. No Aquabar in the pool, too bad. Finally, this time of year is very quiet side party and traffic, for any Varadaro.

With respect to food, Cuba is Cuba. In June, this is a very quiet so there is a lack of leadership and service servitte beach is rotten.

Positive :

Very nice place, the beaches breathtaking. We took pictures in the sea, and we believe in a pool. The site is very clean. There are restaurant and bars everywhere. Initially, the site looks great, but it tames quickly. A very large beach with fine sand as we had seen. The staff is very helpful, with some pesos here and there. in Cuba, they have a speed and it's very slow, but very effective, surprising. A round the city, it's nice, we have made Jeep Safari, see the corners of the country hardest, that's fine. The Italian restaurant is very good, and the wonderful service and very funny. The restaurant during dinner snack that's great, fast service and are good burger. Our room was very large and very clean. Truly one of the most beautiful hotel on the beach, well maintained. I will refer to friends.

Negative :

Pesos and give you beautiful smiles. Say that he lacked a little planning, there seems to be too little and Indian Head. Activities are very few organized. As everywhere, after three buffet breakfasts, we're a bit tanned. Little meat, but a lot of fish. Means the buffet. We had four days of wind, so the sea is not reached either, too bad. Pools could be a little deeper ...

Positive :

Nice hotel, beautiful beach. Excellent food, those who are not happy with the food are really, really difficult. There are plenty of food and it's very good. Good service but always forward pesos. Entertaining shows. Musicians in the lobby bar very good. Everything you see in the photos is the same. Many people, nice atmosphere. The average restaurant Seafood, lobster is just not good at all and others we have not tried.

Negative :

We arrived around noon and got our room at 4:30, we have found it flat for our room so late. Ants in the room, we had twice, they are not big but when you've in your bed is pretty unpleasant. We had to ask 2 times for staff to come and get rid of the 2nd time there were hundreds in the bed but not this time, very unpleasant. Every day we looked under our pillows to ensure that there were no ants. Cleaning the room is very poorly done despite the fact that we leave gifts and pesos daily, lack of towels in the rooms. No storage in any room drawer big enough to store clothing. Very large room but no furniture (damage) Staff at reception not very friendly it seems they are tanned and they do not force us to understand. I wanted to stay here and has been but probably I will not go back the more I find too expensive for the room we had. As you can see the big catch is the room. Lack of palapas on the beach, you must get up early and go put towels on chairs to get one.

Positive :

Really, my family and I (were 5 ns) spent a wonderful week (March 29 to April 5, 2008) in Varadero and a great time at the Barcelo Solymar. The atmosphere throughout the site of this hotel is one of relaxation, vacation, fun, hospitality and joie de vivre. In particular the reception staff, the restaurant and the beach restaurant is warm, friendly and efficient. The beach is very clean and the floating equipment (kayak, catamaran etc.) is in good order and in sufficient numbers. The facilitators are dynamic and playful. We'll definitely be back. Finally, one last word to emphasize the beautiful exterior landscaping around swimming pools, bars and homes. NB The food was varied, generous and very good.

Negative :

Two or three desired improvements. 1 - We should find a way to remove the small plastic cups in which the barmaid and barman serve drinks. Not only do we find on the beach too but it's clearly anti environmental. Moreover, many tourists make their glass or bottle "thermos" staff, which is fine. The leaders of the hotel should follow this practice to provide (with deposit and discount, as for towels ...) a container of some sort. 2 - We do not understand why bar staff and a la carte restaurants do not offer the same service as those of buffet restaurants. They are expeditious, non-smiling, and did not seem to like their jobs.

Positive :

A superb stay at Barcelo Solymar. Well-maintained hotel (staff still at work for the maintenance, cleaning, etc. ..). The beach is beautiful. The staff is friendly and courteous and we have always received excellent service. The food is plentiful, varied and well presented (although it is not always of good food in the buffets). Excellent service from our representative Nolitours (Luis): Exit at Havana's worth (we better understand the history of Cuba and Cuban life especially after the visit - an excellent guide and impeccable French). The catamaran (Cayo Blanco) have to! For dancing (Latin it means ..) a choice: Calle 62 (the real Cuban night life). To end the evening or at night, we can recommend the Seafood Grill on the beach at the Barcelo ...: food, bar and music ... Very close to town (short walk of 10 minutes and is in the heat of the moment). We will not hesitate to return to Solymar and recommend it.

Negative :

You really have brains to find .... Unless you love dancing to the sounds of techno (as in the discos of Quebec or Montreal), we advise against the outputs proposed in the late evening by the young leaders of the hotel (starts around 23:30) - the only places that they propose are downright mediocre! Better get to Calle 62 or partying at the beach bar ..

Positive :

Personally this was my first trip my husband and his third trip to the south. We were pleasantly surprised by all the excitement there was in this hotel. Much to the beach, the second pool as different shows every night. We really had fun. The sea water was warm as well as swimming pools. The food was good, I took what I liked, there are many choices. The town of Varadero was 10 minutes. walk. Evening, all the hotels had given the word to everyone to go see the same place (Big Party). Super fun .. I loved the staff (servers, hosts ...) hard to leave them, they are very endearing. (We are very sociable and smiling so we do not have a problem) I will go back anytime. We traveled with Sunwing and there was a GREAT SERVICE. (Impeccable) Multihull dolphins not to be missed. Great day dream ....

Negative :

Some Cubans really work in pesos (tips) Very important. Do not forget, they work very hard. Just one peso per meal and they will love.
