Comments from Eric Daigneault on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

Perfect beach (very wide, white sand, turquoise water, no algae, chair abundance) Great site there are bars partout. Very well located, we just go up to the town of Varadero. Good buffet, especially PICK grills and omelets in the morning. The red wine was good chilli. Very good hot meal and champagne served with Sunwing, even arrive earlier than planned, friendly staff.

Negative :

You reserve a bungalow for the 2 nd floor, and you pick up a second room in the hotel, and after you change your tone bungallow the 1st floor with a small lizard that collects in your luggage. The staff is very nice especially al home, but the buffet there was a section or the staff was very very nice, you have to find them. Many things break in this hotel and no one repaired (Velo, shower door, large buffet of toast, etc., etc.)

Comments from M&m on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

Beach, pool and clean throughout the site. The friendly staff, nice for the little they had ... The proximity of the airport of Varadero and the city, we went there on foot. Visit Havana, very rewarding!

Negative :

This hotel was referred to us by people we know very well and with whom we have already traveled and we were already going là.Donc was sure of our time. We arrived around 2:30 pm, no room, we had to 4h30pm. As they give us our bracelet and a place for suitcases and a small corner to change us, we missed and we could enjoy the site. The room was okay .. after all we are saying is there to sleep, but the mattress it .. phew! As * enough * incorfortable spring. The poor maid did her best, but the room was made around 4-5 hrs pm, I think she had too much room. Beach towels, they took three days after we arrived one morning and it rained a little! No way to change the week, staff prévilégiait new arrival. What I understand. Some day or the maid could not change the towels in our room ... it was missing or if the changait they were very worn, skewered. The buffet and a la carte restaurant, we go to another call in the mud ...! For a 3rd time in Cuba, I never eat that bad .. and they eat everything! Very few fruits and vegetables .. see inexitant cane! A chance that the city is close by, there were eating like kings. Wherever we eat aillor than a hotel, it was perfect, so nothing to do with Cuba, this hotel is the problem! Having been in another Barcelo, this one is hard to bar! People who had referred us, think we speak the same hotel .... their say Solymar has lost a lot of feather ..... 5 elevators, one and a half fonctionne.Aucun autout server pool or beach, you always go to the bar.

Comments from R.g. on Barcelo Solymar :

This hotel offers very good value for money. The service is excellent, the neat and tidy, enough chairs at the pool and the beach, and enough palapas on the beach, also popular umbrellas by the pools. The buffet food is well presented although a bit repetitive. By cons, a la carte restaurants are excellent, we went to Cuba and to Italian and everything was perfect and the staff very helpful and friendly. The rooms are OK, clean and well maintained, although somewhat déssuètes, large bathroom. We were staying not only in the large hotel, we were one of the many buildings on site. The beach is beautiful and the sea of ??beauty. I recommend this hotel to travelers looking for a good hotel in Cuba at a reasonable price, its coast is deserved 4 stars.

Positive :

Beach, sea, a la carte restaurants, location, staff

Negative :

Buffet répétifif.

Comments from Janie Martin on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

The buffet food is okay, and a la carte restaurant are sublime. The beach is really nice, people are very friendly (with some pesos, it's on) The hotel is very beautiful, and located 5 minutes walk from downtown Varadero. The jeep safari is to do absolutely!!

Negative :

The beds are uncomfortable in the room. The shower spray got no pressure, it's pretty hard to remove sand paste ... lol The room looks directly onto the lobby, then there bcp noise, provide closure for those who sleep fragile.

Comments from Daniel Archambault on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

Very nice place with a personal friendly. Beautiful clean beach.

Negative :

I was very disappointed in the hotel for disponibility beach towels and the rooms. For a la carte restaurents we have moved in the day and time as well. Have to take a jeep with excurtion (TMR) in this excurtion there were included the watercraft, what to have done under the pretext that they were broken.

Comments from D.asselin on Barcelo Solymar :

For my wife and I it was the 5 th stay at this hotel and i would definitely return, all is not perfect as the only major complaint I have is the bar! Rum-6 quail in a row without any effect, and this hotel is not the only place in Varadero

Positive :

The friendliness of the personal loan site in the village, the scenery ment

Negative :

If Cuba is the country's rum. I do not know or he certainly put in the cocktail

Comments from Denise L.r. on Barcelo Solymar :

Positive :

Near the city, you can get there on foot. As the temperature was cold for 3 days, I liked to go there to stroll around the craft kiosks. The vegetation on the site is superb. The splendid beach. This was my first trip and I was very impressed by the scenery outside the Hotel. The evening shows are worth seeing ... superb costumes. Do not miss the trip to Havana, me it's my favorite day (if you like cultural visits). I would return. Smiling staff.

Negative :

Cleanliness is an area for improvement, especially for glasses, window too (stained?) The bathrooms outside the room are not to be recommended and especially near the theater do not go ... These are the only negative points I noticed.

Comments from Karine on Barcelo Solymar :

Our experience at this hotel is excellent. We really liked. The beach is just beautiful. The staff is very welcoming and very helpful. We were treated and fed like kings all week. We easily forget the few negatives with everything else. I definitely recommend.

Positive :

The beach is wonderful. The cleanliness of the place is excellent. The staff is very courteous, always smiling and welcoming. The food is very good. The tour is absolutely dolphins to do.

Negative :

The beach bar was rarely open. The bedding is not comfortable. The first two days no hot water, but everything is set thereafter. The cards are impossible to have internets.

Comments from J.brabant on Barcelo Solymar :

Dutout not own bedroom, mattresses very old, poorly cleaned room daily .... I can not travel crorie that has considered this discount for a 4 star hotel. That the hotel may not be new I have no difficulty with that but none in terms of cleanliness in general, and it leaves much to be desired completely.

Positive :

The plage, the a la carte restaurants

Negative :

Cleanliness of rooms, cleanliness of the hotel in general, very noisy at night ...
