Four of us stayed at the Barceló Marina Palace from 22 May to 6th June and here is my opinion. Flight Thomas cook don’t compare favourably with First Choice for entertainment or seat width. Leg room is ok but anyone wider than Mrs Beckham will struggle. The return journey was chaotic as airport check in computers crashed so boarding was... more

We traveled to the Marina Palace in a group of about 40 for a destination wedding. We pulled in around 11:30 PM and were greeted by swarms of mosquitos and a long check in line. The next day several people visited the on site Doctor and had a benedryl shot and a cream to stop the itching and swelling. This... more

We stayed at this resort from May 30th to June 6th. I had read the reviews prior to leaving and was a little concerned with the complaints. However, I too thought...it can't be as bad as they say surely...after all it is a 5 Star. I have stayed at 2 other 5 Star Resorts in Cuba previously and have to... more

It only rains at night in Cuba, and when it does, it's for like 2-3 minutes. The weather is never a problem unless you go in storm season which is late... more

I have posted a review of both the hotels we went to while in varadero. We had originally booked the barcelo solymar, but upon arrival at the Varadero airpoort, we were told that the barcelo solymar was overbooked and that we were given an "upgrade" to the Barcelo Marina Palace...i know this hotel is a 5 star, but in my... more

Quite a few sand flies(no see ems) we call them, mostly affected the women , I think because of no hair on arms and legs, food was great, rooms were very nice, great view, treat the staff right and they will treat you very well. One negative the resort is much too big(2 km,s from end to the other). more
