There are a lot of reasons to avoid this resort. It took me 3-4 days to develop a successful strategy for eating. Good meals could only be had in the A la Carte rooms. Our A/C stopped working and we had to change our room. The new room had no sound on the TV. The toilet ran 24/7. There was... more

Well , I have been to varadero 4 times and I tried 2 different hotels and was very happy. This time I was going for a wedding and everything was booked for me. I knew arenas blancas was a crappy hotel but didnt realize how crappy it was until I got there. The food sucks and sucks big time. Since... more

We probably didn't go at the best time to truly enjoy Arenas Blancas...(loud construction during the day, very few people there, lack of variety of food, night shows cancelled due to lack of crowd), HOWEVER...we only paid $600.00 and had the best time EVER in Varadero!! My best advice, go enjoy and experience the amazing country!! Rent scooters for the... more

We had a great time @ Arenas & we travelled with young & old, from under a year to late 50's. They have great breakfasts & u can always find something to eat, if your a picky eater, well than Cuba is not for you! Try a cruise. more

My friends and I went to Arenas Blancas in August as our grad trip. We didn't think many people were going to be there, and I had no idea what to expect but we honeslty had a great vacation. The staff was INCREDIBLE. So kind and always friendly. I didn't tip for the entire week, and always we got the... more

Many of the reviews here describe a lot aof problems at the Arenas Blancas Hotel but no one can really do justice to exactly how bad this resort is. I have stayed at many resorts in several countries. I have also stayed at two other Cuban resorts. Based on my experience there is nothing that comes anywhere close to the... more

Hello All, I am from Montreal, QC, Canada and in one year I went 4 times to Arenas Blancas Hotel in Varadero. The Hotel is a 4 star - not like the Queen Elizabeth in Montreal, but for me very confortable, beautiful beaches and one of the largest pool in Varadero. The food is very good, you have to learn... more

Although sunwing claimed this place to be a four star all inclusive, even by Cuban standards it was much more like a two and a half star. The hotel service was lousy if any at all. No clean towels, have to ask for soaps and toilet paper, bed sheets never replaced , toilets not functioning properly. A fellow Canadian got... more
