Stayed in one of the bungalows for a few days and found it to be quite run down and dirty. The hotel property itself was pretty nice for an all inclusive vacation spot. The food was institutional and the menu did not vary day to day although it was plentiful. Would choose Hotel Blau next time.

I booked this 2 days before departure at a very cheap price so for what I paid can't really complain. I have been to Cuba many times and not to much upsets me. This was my first time travelling solo. Many Russian, German, and French Canadian guests. Whether this is common at this hotel or it was the week I... More

I recently returned from the Barlovento , having stayed from April 19th-26th . I have been going to Cuba for 30 years and have been to Varadero numerous times and I can tell you that the best thing this hotel has going for it is the location and the staff. The rooms are tired but clean and the maids do... More

First off, be careful reading these reviews (this one included). Each contributor has had their own experience and we all have our own opinions. I will try to be as objective as I can. Let me say at the outset that I was not disappointed with our visit to the Barlovento during the week of April 18 – 25. Having... More

Our first stay at the Barlovento was April 2012. We returned for the location and price. We were disappointed in our rooms this time around. At check in, we were given a room that we were not happy with (bad odor, bed was missing legs and generally didn't seem clean) and were able to change our room. Our second room... More

The hotel/resort was nice, big and on a good spot. Every evening there is something to do with the entertainers. (quiz, dance, salsa lessons, shows) however the staff behind the receptiondesk are lazy and will only do something for you if you do something for them in return. The food was not so good, but there is a very good... More

I am not to picky, don't care about decor in the hotel room or if the lamps match the curtains. I want to go away an explore the country an dance the night away!!! I booked this trip as a last minute deal, an was not disappointed at all! The resort grounds them self are well kept! The rooms an... More

This resort is set up very well. Every room is close to the "centre" and the staff are very friendly. It's on a fabulous beach and there are two pools that are well kept. Rooms are dated but clean and our maid was lovely and very thorough. I suggest you bring your own pillows and beach towels - the pillows... More

Location Location...We looked at other hotels but then decided to take the Barlovento to be close to Varadero and we did good. Rooms are clean and done daily, hot water, a/c, beds everything needed for a perfect sleep. Food, well let me say that it was great and we always had a choice of vegetables and fruits with either pork,... More
