Stayed at The Barcelo Varadero for one week during July 2008 on an all-inclusive late booking deal through Thomas Cook. Transfer from the airport takes approximately 45 minutes depending upon the number of other drop-off points. A fair assessment of the hotel is 3 star. The apartments are reasonably spacious but would benefit from being refurbished. The furniture is basic... more

First stayed here in Dec 07 and wasnt expecting much but I can honestly say for a 3 star it was well worth the money we then went back this March for easter. The food selection was great, the drinks selection fantastic and the pool bar was the best food on an all In... always fresh and different selections. The... more

We stayed at the Barcelo Vadero for 4 nights on the 10/04/08. We booked through 'jet2.com' and used 'Resort Hopper' to transfer between the airport and hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean and the maid service was 5days a weeks. Balconys are large with views of complex and sea. I recomend you go all inclusive as there is loads... more

Came back from here 10 days ago and wished i was still there! Ther was me, my husband and two sons aged 14 and 12. Its a good all round family hotel. I'll list the good point first:- 1. Clean, maids come regularly. 2. Food excellent, maybe a bit repetiative if you stayed for a fortnight, but we enjoyed it.... more

Overall the hotel is tired looking and in need of refurbishment but it was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The food was excellent and there was so... more

Stayed at the Barcelo Varadero in late February 2008. Booked it as a result of positive reviews on Tripadvisor. We are a family of five.. two parents and three children aged 19, 16 and 8. It was our first trip abroad. It was very difficult to decide on location. The older children liked the idea of shopping, days lazing on... more

We have just got back and had a fantastic time. Considering the price we had paid we weren't expecting a particularly good hotel and had taken extra money so we could eat out and spend more time away from the pool but in the end we didn't spend half of what we planned. The food was great every night and... more

Just returned from the Barcelo Varadero, we enjoyed a pleasent stay at this hotel. Rated as a 3*, but I have stayed at 4* hotels that aren't as good as this, however the rooms are slightly dated , but exceptionally clean with excellent staff and depending on where the room is in the complex they can be quite noisy. We... more
