How often we heard the words 'Oh but we are just a 2 star", or 'You're in Cuba". Sorry but there is no excuse, we've been to Cuba before and stayed in lovely 2 star hotels which were clean, the pool worked and which had fun activities day and night. How disappointed we were to find that there were no... More

This was our 16th trip to Cuba. My wife and I decided to try a 1.5 star just for the experience. We would do it again in a heartbeat if the price was right. We paid a ridiculous $363 Cdn each taxes included for 7 days. A travelling companion paid only $393 with single supplement. We figured that if the... More

Just got back 20 hours ago. Wish we were still there. I had long decided despite the negative reviews (although there were plenty of positives), that my partner and I were coming to this resort. The price was right, i was paying for 2 and it was in the middle of the town. I would love to do a systematic... More

Well, first off, knowing that I was going to Cuba, and not having high expectations of anything i was absolutley surprised by the hotel once we arrived. After reading the reviews, people really made this place sound like a dump. The lobby was a very nice friendly spot, the front desk clerks were excellent and done very well with trying... More

My family booked our Easter vacation to Villa La Mar for April 2012 and we were pleasantly surprised with this hotel. Being our fourth trip to Cuba, I would have to say for the price, Villa La Mar has great value. It was a smaller hotel and the grounds were very nice. If you like to dance and go out,... More

I am coming back from a 5 night vacation at this hotel. I made my reservations at the last minute, found the best possible deal, and read TA comments before I booked. I read from the majority of people the plain truth, but I failed to look at the star rating for the hotel. It's a 2 stars and in... More

My husband and I stayed at Villa La Mar from March 20 - 28, 2012. This resort has great value. The place is a little dated but clean and they are in the midst of renovating all the rooms. The beach is the absolute nicest beach I have yet to see and I have seen beaches in Cozumel, Jamaica and... More

This was me and my boyfriend's first time to Cuba. The hotel was right in the village in Veradero. We liked that we could walk out and explore the village at any time. Unfortunately we don't speak Spanish ( yet) and the hotel staff barely spoke any English. The guests were all European and French so for the first 3-4... More

Villa La Mar is a great place if you are a budget traveler and you want to see an authentic place in the heart of Varadero. Cuba is a poor country and everyone who works in the tourism industry does so because they can make more money doing so. There are doctors, teachers and engineers who drive buses, tour guide... More
