Barlovento Hoteles C / Reviews

The only thing I liked was the Mexican restaurant and snack bar near the beach. The friendly people in the room especially the brunch. The hotel is close to evenings out to go dancing in the town of Varadero. Very good taxi services but must be negotiated.

Often we had no water bottle and our towels were not changed. We had to have a bottle of rum included in our package and we have not received anything. We deny the present every day for the housekeeper and we have not received more service. The first day we arrived, the sheets were not changed, hair was still black on white sheets. For seven days, I've never seen a head pillow on my bed. Still a chance that I brought a small pillow. For lunches, as oranges and grapefruit and no varieties in fruits. Not much entertainment on the beach during my stay. I réfèrerais person in Barlovento. It's been six times I go to Cuba and this is the first time I do not like a place but I've been in much better 3 star services and cleanliness.

If you want to soak up the lives of Cubans désigné.En Barlovento is out of the hotel you're in town, please consider this I chose this hotel for a stay of two semaines.Ce was also choix.C good is my tenth time in five to Varadero Cuba and for a stay of two weeks I strongly advise Varadero.Donc small hotel, comfortable room, air conditioning and hot water very rarely seen fonctionnel.Site wonderful in Cuba palm trees at the height of three storeys nothing to do with the five stars to the next bout.Personnel very nice and helpful as always Cuba.Bien eat and drunk, I took four books during my stay from February 22 to 9 mars.Beau time, great trip.

If I compare with a 4 stars or more is on the little things like soap, toilet paper or other it seems more or rationed, but it is going to see the maid and all rule. The room is smaller than what I experienced but as far as the bed and comfortable and there is no shortage of hot water I think it is that there were détails.Il gelly fish to few times, I had never seen it in Cuba is that the sector or chance? Just a note to the carrier in two trips Canjets four lags well done!

Nice hotel despite age, very well maintained and everything is nearby. Mature vegetation and beautiful everywhere. I was there from February 23 to March 2. The temperature was satisfactory for February, lots of sun on cold days without excluding the last day (it seems that last week was much less beautiful). The drinks are excellent in the lobby, coffee dependent variable that does. The service was fast enough even though the hotel was pleinne capacity. Other bars (animation, rancho and the beach are ok, apart from the lack of beer at the beach) The a la carte restaurants, especially Mexican is surprising, and very good staff + + at this point, the only downside is having to get up to use the trimmings and desert. Do not miss the shooter of tequila at the end of the meal, prepared by the server! If you choke, the server will take care of you well tapper back to help reduce dosage hi hi hi. The Cuban restaurant is also very good, steak surprising to Cuba. Very clean room, in simplicity but is very functional, well maintained with good storage space. The beds were perfect for me and very comfortable. The air conditioning very functional. Immersive excursion: Dolphins for my son. He enjoyed and not more than 8 people with 3 to 4 dolphins for half an hour. A bit expensive for children 67CUC ... but hey. I rented a car three days, convenient to move, we took the opportunity to go to Havana a day. Car in excellent condition, no problems and road conditions in this area are good. Short trip enjoyable without more, hotel satisfactory overall, this is a good 3.5 star I think, but it is in Varadero with all that that means a whole!

Temperature: the evening quite windy and essential wool without exception. Shows boring but after 23 times in Cuba, I'm bad judge since it is always the same! But I confess to have found lower than those in other Barlovento. Finally this hotel was not the best choice for my son during our week there was almost no children of his age. It was a little annoyed. I had a prejudice about Varadero, having gone there in December 2005 on employee attitudes in general and I have not changed my mind. I do not appreciate the sense in Varadero. The staff is usually polite, but without more is not found the warmth of many other places in Cuba such as Santa Lucia. In Varadero, some do not have the easy smile and some completely ignore you and do not just look. Rarely have I seen this I am usually very close to the world but Varadero is Cuba so not representative of Cuba! In short we find that the staff working in these hotels for a long time and some are really no ways even with pesos. Without wishing to generalize, some are ok but not the majority. Weakness of the hotel: the lobby bar opening to 9ham, the only coffee is available at the buffet. Although it is good, I would prefer a Cappuchino Lobby at lunch. The quality of the buffet is vriable, some days not so good and the other better. I have not seen a banana of the week! This is the first time this has happened. Chicken quality is poor, I've seen better. It is difficult to find meat from the kidneys and the fat pieces presented at the buffet. The fish not much variety, roasbif evening, the guy cut the meat the wrong way, making the meat tough enough. A tourist showed him how to cut and the result was better later! Downside: the price of photos taken by photographer since we can not take by ourselves 10 CUC for a photo or two for 18, it's pretty expensive after paying the tour. There is also possibility to buy the DVD but at a cost of 35 CUC, really too expensive. The entrance fee to see the show is only 15 CUC and the show is a little disappointing, I saw much better in Holguin. The exchange rate is extremely disappointing when I think last year in February when the CAN had parity with the U.S. cheaply and it was. But this year, to 100 C, 69 or 70 CUC at the most! It's frustrating for a monarchy which does not even exist in international markets. But hey, it was my little moment of frustration against the Cuban policies. Caution: always ask your coupon to exchange for money, otherwise you risk that you miss 1 CUC or more for your trade. I like decided to give myself the type to that person, and she never takes it without my knowledge. If you decide to buy duty-free shop at the Varadero airport, be careful, make sure what you charge, I had to go see the lady who had charged me an extra batch of coffee. She apologized and offered me a refund or take another coffee. But surprise, when I checked and calculated the bill for my mother who buy a lot of coffee and two bottles of rum, she had done the same thing, but for an even larger amount. His only words were: I am sorry. Yes you bet I am sorry!! We two, she started in pockets over 25 CUC so I doubt these two consecutive errors. I found it funny that she does not put your receipt in person, we saw the reason for that! I imagine how it can be done a day on the backs of tourists ... it's a bit frustrating. Be careful! Although the trip was still good as a whole, it is clear that I will never succeed in Varadero love for all these reasons. There are 100 times better in Cuba at all levels. To each his own!

Hotel conveniently located near the Varadero flea market. very good Mexican restaurant, buffet generally well, beautiful beach. The staff is warm when you made them smile at the buffet we were always served by Deasy, very nice. Internet price is 6 pesos convertible to 1/2 hrs, it was 5 pesos before.

Beach chairs on the half broken and hard, should have chairs that were at the pool. Side temperature the first week of January 31, 2009 was cold second week was warmer a chance that one was the two weeks.

Nice hotel at the entrance of the town of Varadero. Clean and well appointed. Very good service throughout the site. Welcoming staff. Great food, beautiful beach. About 2 minutes walk to the beach. Approximately 5 minutes walk from the largest flea market in Varadero. Several good restaurant nearby. Place to recommend.

One a la carte restaurant for all the hotel (one night a Mexican and Cuban night) so difficult to get a place. You must give a few pesos to the reservation, this way they will find you a place. Not much animation.

Compared to the Playa de Oro (4 *) and the Oasis V. 1920 (4 1/2 *), the Barlovento is the best of three. Good food (for Cuba) but still becomes repetitive buffet. Nice site, clean and close to the flea markets and other restaurants. Staff very nice even without tip (except for the lobby bar). Good Mexican restaurant a la carte. Beautiful beach and for those who get up early, no problem for the chairs. Animation correct, not too achalante. The room was clean, the sheets smelled good and never had a bad smell in the hotel as is sometimes the case elsewhere. Nice clean pools but the water was cold when we arrived. For those who want a hotel near the city (no bus or taxi to take), it is a great choice!

Very small balconies, mattresses and pillows a little uncomfortable. Difficult to get a reservation for a la carte restaurants at least out of pesos more ... Shows ordinary except that of magic.

thank you very nice trip

only one thing that is guaranteed meals that do not work. We had one meal as both a full restaurant déjas Was this happen, so we had thanks to an officer of Mount Royal tower one dinner during the week instead of deux.vous mark should not guaranteed . well was you marie-eve Trudel

Excellent food, varied, everything was very good. Large room with small balcony, and unlimited hot water at any time of day or night. Friendly staff with or without tip, no difference in service. Beautiful beach in Varadero as everywhere. Great location. I saw a huge difference between a 3 * and 3 1/2 * at the point of view of food. As much as I had a bad meal at 3 * Cuatro Palmas, as I have eaten at Barlovento, which is a 3 1/2 * even better than some 4 *. Superb temperature for 2 weeks, always between 25 and 30 degrees during the day and a few degrees cooler in the evening. Extraordinary spectacles in the evening. VAT is captured on TV.

The mattress would need to be changed, everybody complained. This lack of chairs on the beach and those that are there are very uncomfortable. You had to go to Villa Tortuga right next to have good comfortable chairs. The lobby is extremely noisy and there was always a big gang of settlers from Quebec who were yelling at the head. The lobby bar is awful, impossible to have a drink at this place raided by saoulons and service to this bar is rotten. The bartenders are pretending not to see you. There was a group of young, all I would say a hundred Quebec who made a ruckus during their week, and broke several items from the hotel, there are even two who were expelled to another hotel. Say it a little spoiled half of our stay. I still go back to this hotel hoping to fall on one group of customers better next time.

Beautiful site close to everything and very clean. One of the best hotels in its class to food choice and taste. Very good service at the restaurant buffet and a la carte. The evening shows are at above average and the staff is professional. The bar show is decent but the beer is not very cold.

Lack of chairs and beach towels. The staff is always looking to have the tip. The beach bar is not quality for the hotel (no beer at the beach with a limited selection). The service and quality of the bar lobby bar is the worst I've ever seen. He used to drink in dirty glasses. It cuts the beer with water and the beer is warm. The wait at the bar is infernal.
