This hotel is so worth it if only for the location, beach is magnificent and you have plenty and direct access. My room had a great view , king bed and it was very clean. The food was good and service excellent. Again you should not compare Cuba with the hotel industry in other places .

My wife and I have enjoyed this grand old hotel twice now and plan to return. We have traveled the world but when it come to Cuba we prefer the relative peace, service and friendliness of this hotel. And, of course, it features a great beach right off the patio at the rear of the hotel. At night it is... More

This was our 5th trip in Varadero. We got married in 2005 at the Barcelo Solymar, just next door, and I must say, this is the best place we stayed in Varadero. You cannot asked for anything better (ok, maybe the 5 stars) but you have the best beach, the best location, the best service (a small hotel of 165... More

It's too bad to see that some visitors have had a bad experience at this resort. This is a great little resort with an excellent beach which I must mention is literally only a few steps from the hotel itself.

I was really disappointed in not having much of a selection in the buffet meals, especially during breakfast. The night life, of which I thoroughly enjoy, was non-existent at this resort unless one cared to be in the Disco line up with all the teenagers. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The staff were very courteous and obliging. The... More

This Hotel is old and run down. There was mildew in our room and in our bathroom ... But we made the best of it and only used the room to sleep and shower! The hotel patio walks directly on The beach. The beach is awesome! The food is better than a lot of other hotels apparently in Varadero! We... More

Just returned from a 1 week vacation to this Hotel this April. This is my 3rd visit to this Hotel and my 22nd year of visiting Cuba. I can honestly say that, if you do/did not have a good time while there, then you have a problem. The staff are wonderful and always smiling. They are helpful and eager to... More
