For my 5th visit to Varadero, I choose Arenas Blancas. From the reviews I read before, I tought I had made a mistake. But guess what ??? The critics are realy HARSH. I admit the food was a bit tasteless and the choice was a bit short, but it was plentyfull. My room was on the third floor and it... more

There is not one positive thing I can say about this place. The food is attrocious and unedible. The building has 6 elevators, 3 of which are not working and the other one with a hole in the floor. The staff although not mean, where unhelpful and lazy. Seriously, if you want to go somewhere you can have a decent... more

all reports very misleading food for the most part was not edible think their cooking stadards are much lower than ours the dinning staff were excellent and helped to maintain a happy decorum with the lack of un prepared food cleanliness of rooms left something to be desired and hallways were never cleaned during our 2 week stay activities staff... more

Where do I start? I was very skeptical after hearing some of the reviews and really concerned that I spent too much money for what could be a very long too two weeks. Should have gone with my gut instinct. I was ready to come home after 3 days. There are some good points - some of the staff are... more

I travelled to Arenas Blancas with a large group in the middle of October. The hotel is very well located near night clubs, market, restaurants..... It is not a 5 star hotel but they are definitely working on it. The main problem was that since it was low season more than half of the hotel was under renovations and we... more

hello, this was our second time going to this hotel. There was 19 of us. Ours rooms were clean, the food was okay, something to always eat, and im picky. The staff was wonderfull and helpfull. We have made many cuban friends. The beach is beautiful and the best beach, the pool is wonderfull and large, lots to do. You... more

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
