I booked a package deal to Cuba via my trusted travel agent. I really fall in love with Cuba. Rich culture, beautiful Havana and excleent beachs at Varadero. However, this hotel is not a 4 star I am warning you: First of all, the hotel is old and all the bedding, furniture, interior and exterior of hotel needs re modeling... more

The hotel was just great! I see all the "really" experienced travellers seems it is cool to put it down and this is not the real Cuba, bla bla bla. But that you should you already know when you book a 4 or 5 star all inclusive hotel in a poor contry. Of course that is not where you meet... more

I have no idea why so many people rated this so badly - did they open their eyes? Now I will admit I know nothing about all inclusive hotels (in 25+ years of extensive travelling before Cuba I have stayed in only one, and that was for 3 days and I wasn't all inclusive) but I know a bit about... more

My husband and I chose to stay at the Hotel Internacional because of its history as a Pre-Revolution hotel. I am personally a fanatic of 1950s Cuban architecture and style so this was an obvious choice. All i can say is that we LOVED the hotel. Its location right on the beach was amazing, the entire place was designed for... more

Cuba- fantastic. Casa Particular experience- fantastic. Varadero Internacional- NIGHTMARE! Would only recommend it to anorexics who fancy sharing their room with friendly cockroaches . . .I suffered the worst food poisoning there, so was stuck in the cockroach filled room! The beach is great and although it's cheap, my advice is don't risk it, but hop-step it to the Blau... more

This was our third trip to Varadero but first time at the international. Depends on what your expectations are. We had a fantastic week though the bed for me was a bit on the hard side and though the shower ran hot and cold it was very clean. Loved the staff, most were very nice though there were a couple... more

The Hotel International, Varadero was our final hotel stop after spending 9 days visiting the real Cuba! The hotel was booked for us through Titan Hi Tours and was a real reality stop after staying at the Iberostar in Trinidad. The first floor corridors were shabby and whilst our room was clean the bathroom, although functionable, really could do with... more

We stayed at the Internacional from Feb. 21, 2008 to March 6, 2008 and can tell you that we couldn't wait to come back. The only positive point I could find with this hotel is that it was directly on the beach. Upon arrival we were brought to our rooms which I must admit were spacious and clean. We were... more

Where there 2 or 3 nights in low season (late october), and enjoyed the comforts after a week of vacating with/like the Cubans. Also, we hardly ever go to All-Inc places, as it removes most of the thrill and adventure out of travelling. Hallways smelled a little, but with people walking through them dripping with water all day long, it's... more
