I stayed at the Palma Real (PR) the first week of April, 2013.This was my ninth trip to Varadero. I wasn't going to travel south this year, but the price was right and others in my family were going - so I said why not. I had a day pass to the PR last year. In short, your experience at... More

I went to this resort a while back. My first and last time there. Quite honestly, we paid more than we should've for a resort like this. In my opinion, it should be labeled a 3 star, not a 4 star. Even under Cuban standards, because a lot of the other 4 star hotels in Cuba are in fact much... More

This was my first trip to Cuba, however, I was traveling with a friend who had been many times and had stayed at Palma Real twice before. We booked 3 days in advance and got an amazing deal of $430.00 per person, including taxes for 7 nights from Toronto. I found the room to be basic, the bed was hard,... More

Pros: -the service was for the most part very good. There was hardly ever a line up at the bars or restaurants, with the exception of at night time at the lobby bar. -the location was good as it was within walking distance to many shops and restaurants downtown. The walk to the beach was kind of annoying but truthfully... More

Stay #10, much better than stay #9. A lot of reviews complaining about the food. Well, the people that go to Cuba because of the food are probably the same people that go to Florida for the snowboarding ! I put on 7lbs. in 2 weeks. The only issue I had was after eating off site. see my review of... More

We booked this hotel for 4 nights, on an all inclusive basis, for a break from travelling around Cuba, and found the worst Mojitos in the land, the most miserable shop staff EVER...and couldn't wait to leave!! It was Benidorm of the TV, situated in the Caribbean! Air con that doesn't work, watered down drinks made with the cheapest spirits... More
