Positive :

Very nice balcony by chance .... Courtesy and a smile to the maid and her service. Landscape and water clarity was breathtaking.

Negative :

The beach was dirty all week and it was cleaned on Sundays only by locals and bags remained on the beach all day ..... The mattress in the room was more than the one to be changed entait is all the springs, he was dating 60 year ... As for the buffet is the first time I did not eat my fill while traveling meat was so hard that we had the same difficulty to cut with a knife ... The variety was poor and most evenings and noon the next day we ate the leftovers from dinner the night before. In addition to service the dining room should not count on it either, even if we let the tip to start the service was not better they were too busy talking to each other, they run after fallaient utensils and plates clean if we wanted to eat, so eventually the tips if you know what I mean. The service at the reception AC is not worth much he made us walk from one place to another to get what you asked .... What about the invasions of ants and croquerelles oufffffff .. In addition to what is to take our shower had to be patient because the water cut at any time and was rarely hot water .... It is certain that no question for us to return to this place ..

Positive :

Super trip of two weeks. Beautiful beach, friendly staff and smiling (except at the reception). Bring them gifts and you will have an extra service. Large site with several small buildings, very clean and ready for any tojours. 2 breakfast buffets, two grills and two snack bar and a buffet dinner, 4 a la carte restaurants for dinner that included all very good as that of the Casa de Al, which is excellent but they did not offer when booking must be asked. REMEMBER this is a 3.5 * so do not rely too much on the negative comments of people who must want to have a quality 5 * without paying. We eat very well all week: grilled fish and poullets, Collettes pork, steak restaurants with a la carte .... The standard rooms are very clean and correct and if there is a problem that is very easy to change rooms or having a superior room for only $ 20 per room per day. Only 5 minutes walk from the city where there is an Italian restaurant next to the bridge, cheap and very good. The bus tour of two levels for 5 pesos makes you see the hotel area and the ticket is for the day. Havana is worth a visit, we took a tour of Caribe ground for 67 pesos per person including dinner is very good. This is our seventh trip normally included in any category 4 to 5 star cruises and more 3 and we would be ready to return to Kawama tomorrow morning due to Report for money because we paid $ 1353 for 2 w / people are our expectations were low and we were pleasantly surprised. Our evaluations are considering it to pay for a 3.5 * and not by comparing it to a 5 *

Negative :

Odor Update main buffet, so we went to eat breakfast buffet, food and even quieter. The restaurant staff the Grand Canal does not seem happy with their work, they are very professional but do not smile, we're going 2 times and even with a tip that does not change

Positive :

Beautiful beach very clean, nice hotel and staff was great. The activitées very diverse and extraordinary service when you tipe ... All near the center of Varadero, the facilitators suggest you go see in city nightclub in the evening so that ca change and no crowds on the beach so much space to spread out and not need to arrive early the morning to reserve a chair ... Kilometers of beach for walking, beautiful sand, no Coreaux or fish or algae, but water clear and warm for swimming. Long live the catamaran included!! Desserts are very good, especially the blanks ... The bank is a 2 minute walk to the left of the hotel leaving, go there instead of exchanging your money al hotel, you have to go much more for your money ... This is the best of three and a half star varadero, I have spoken with many other people from other hotel and it is our conclusion!

Negative :

Buffet very limited and the same thing dined and supped, they do not dirty and do not put spice in food, prévoire salt, pepper, hot pepper flakes and garlic ... Watch out for mosquitoes, they bite at night and have to perceive that s the next morning when it makes a big allergic reaction like 25 cents ... ca you destroyed the legs for the rest of the trip because Ca rest for 2 weeks moin ... So the plan Muskol and Afterburn. In low season there are more people between 35 and 65 but many québéquois by cons :) Be careful, do not rent a car or scooter because the police are corrupt and are waiting to see you (you tourists ) to accost you and accuse you of not putting your sew in belt even if you had ... and charge you $ 40 ... At your own risk Crèmez you, the sun is treacherous, especially on the catamaran ... Brought long pants and a sweater because even if one is dying of heat in the daytime, evening c is fresh after a rain in the mountains too. Cavour made for ziploc make cookies and bread in the cupboard during your trip because the green is often dined three hours of after noon when the lunch is a 7:30 ...: | Do not embark in the car especially if you are a Cuban etent a girl, you spend a whore and if the police see you, you get fined ...

Positive :

Our room was very clean, thanks to our cleaning lady Rosita (very nice) quiet, very well have eaten a lot of security at the resort. The Resort is very very large, three beautiful pools, several bars even on the beach near the Cuban restaurant, heaven, Cuban music, beach bars + grid, much quieter. Toilets near the beach very clean, ate lots of fish, sushi, pasta even ribs, and hamburgers on the grill at the beach. Yes jy returns the next year but for 10-11 days.

Negative :

The staff at the reception of real tunes beasts, (women) rude, frustrated, arrogant, impatient, they really should think about changing their staff, tourists complained often enough. The exchange of money there, it is based on the Euro and not the American money, and not exchange your money n al Hotel because it charges you 20% instead of 1.11 there is a bank near everything, but do not forget your passport because you can not enter, passport requirement.

Positive :

The beach and the sea are really nice, the site of the pool is also great. Trips to Havana and catamaran are a must. The catamaran was heavenly!

Negative :

The standard rooms are very "standard" two single beds and not very welcoming. But it spends very little time, while not dramatic. For food we managed to find our account, but not tasty.

Positive :

buffets are okay and bbq dinner of delicious, ilsfont chip of the old to get started on the floor! ice cream is delicious. The a la carte restaurants are correct, the International is the best dish is seafood is good, the espresso is great in the lobby bar and the person who handles public relations is really very friendly and helpful, the site is beautiful and the sand and white. many long chairs and palapa on the beach

Negative :

hotel to review it! It is far from everything in varadero and you have to pay 5 CUC to go or the action is! The chambreson small, no balcony (for standard room) and it stinks! air conditioning is faulty with a musty smell and diesel due to the generator side of the building. the maid never change the sheets in two weeks! The Cuban restaurant is really very far from tout.le site is huge so if your room is in the extrémitée to casa del capone you to walk very far to go or what happens and the action or other restaurants. Shows at night are very average and facilitators look for the day, he runs away when they see you! if there is a bit of wind the boat activitées are close. the beach was eroded by the last hurricane we walk in 45 degree on the beach. the drinks are not very good.

Positive :

beautiful site, a la carte restaurants ok, beer is good, the beach is beautiful but narrow, there are chips in homes that are broken crust is super huge bonne.site peusi long walk!

Negative :

buffets not no extra pancake or French toast déjeuner.la room is small and the moldy could I ask for another room and he replied that it was not possible, air conditioning not working for 2 weeks and I watched a big son of dust that floated with the big task at the ceiling. not very short! the sheets were not changed despite the fact that I've thrown in a ball pit after the first week. the maid was back on the bed despite the tasks and the sand! not that hard either! Do not change your money at the hotel because you care too much for a 2 minute walk to the right when you're facing the canal there is a bank with a lower interest rate. and if you like action, well you're away! 5 CUC taxi to go to the centroet the same to return. the evening show are quite flat and the host does not exist in the days!

Positive :

Near the town of Varadero. We can eat out at restaurants and explore the city. Nice site but nothing more. Beautiful beach but many shells. Friendly staff, slow service, but hey, you're on vacation! A successful change rooms in a day.

Negative :

Always the same food. The mayonnaise-based salad dressings and yogurt hang on long counters with flies. At dinners, paella with rice or spaghetti and attention if you want shrimp, we put you in a just and if you dare ask for more, you made the big mine. Mediocre buffet, always the same thing and more, meals are cold even though there are stoves! The a la carte restaurants are mediocre and the service is very slow. The site gives us the right to go out to dinner with Al Capone. We have not been informed initially and if we would not informed, they could not qualify because it's part of the package with the site Kawama. It's not a big loss, because it is really rotten. The atmosphere and the restaurant is enchanting, but it stops there. At the bar, depending on day and servers, there was no ice, no margarita or moitos or beer or coffee! Service a bit faster if tip and wait if you do not give. In two weeks we were there, our bed was never changed and our towels were changed once. In addition, we did not have beach towels for two days. The rooms in section 20 are scary. Dust and clients who have gone before us (I do not know how) and that the room had been made, we could see in the mirror traces of toothpaste. Sale at will. We changed rooms and the cleanliness was better. No toilet paper and Kleenex. Bring it with you! We came back with colds and turista! General cleanliness is ordinary. I will not go back and do not advise it. For young people (my 20 year old daughter was with me), the site suited him because she loved the shows and the disco and meetings she made. The food was okay for her. Happy holidays.

Positive :

Cuba is Cuba! If you are looking for comfort and cuisine of the house, it is not in a hot country you will find it! With a little open-minded people you will find a smiling, friendly and always ready to explain you their culture. Nice staff, a smile attracts another ... The rooms although small, are clean and correct * (remember that this is a 3 1/2 stars) The buffet is good and we always find something to put in their mouths, at worst a toast with bananas ! The snake bar lunch is very good and there is a good procedure for booking a la carte restaurants. Near the entrance of the town (5th Ave) that Varadero is easy walking. You will find 2 O chip market to 12 and 15th Ave. Very good very affordable restaurant near the hotel ... to change the buffet! Varadero is safe, you can walk there without fear. Ask the personel of the hotel or to find out, eat and have excursions other than those offered by tour operators. You can go with Alex snokling CUC for 15 pesos for 2 hours.

Negative :

We requested a room change since the first was too wet and airless. We were chilled by moisture from the bed. The staff was not surprised at our request when we mentioned that we were in isle 23 ... the other occupants had made the same request. It seems that this section is not sunny and no balcony. And yes, unfortunately, the tourists leave their garbage on the beach .... What a pity some respect please
