We first stayed at this hotel Jan/11 and we love it, so we returned Feb/12 to get married. Laudina you are the best and I still can not belive how beautiful you made our wedding. This hotel is right on a breathtaking beach, it is over fifty year old but well mantained and clean. It is in walking distance to... More

Spent one night here which was more than enough. The rooms are shabby, uncomfortable and a little bit dirty. The pictures of the pool area look fairly cheery but in reality it's all slightly depressing - a kind of low calibre Butlins, with plastic chairs lined up next to the pool in front of a shabby stage, and full of...

Spent Mar 3-10 at Villa Tortuga. The beach is fabulous with lots of chairs and palapas. The rooms were rather small but we didn't spend too much time in the room. The resort although older was kept very clean. The staff was always pleasant and helpful. The food was ok , you could always find something to eat. Beef was... More

The resort itself was very nice for the price, decent food, nice staff, clean rooms. We were there for two weeks and for the first week, we were disgusted with the smell coming from the oil refineries which were close by. We were totally not prepared for that. It was especially bad in the evening when the breeze settled. It... More

We just returned from our 2 week vacation Feb 10-24 2012 We stayed at the Villa Tortuga Varadero. We absolutely loved it......as we are not into the party scene and night life, this resort suited us just fine. Small resort, clean rooms, incredible staff, AMAZING beach, decent food (btw I am the world's most picky eater) People must realize they... More

Villa Tortuga is overall a fairly nice resort. The beach is good, but somewhat littered with plastic cups and cigarette butts, although that has more to do with the general ignorance of guests than management, as there are ash trays and garbage containers. It has a good pool with shallow areas that are great for kids. Lots of lounge chairs... More

Our first family vacation and how lucky we were NOT to listen to all the rotten comments about Tortuga. It by far exceeded our expectations. Not a posh resort but rooms clean, food good, service EXCELLENT. You couldn't ask for nicer people, always willing to help you out. We have daughters and not once did we have to worry about... More

We spent January 19-26/2012, basking in the sun on the Varadero Beach by the Villa Tortuga Resort. Seriously, I truly felt like I died and went to heaven while I lay in the sun on this spectacular beach listening to the peaceful sound of the ocean. The Villa Tortuga Resort, while being rated a 3 star at best, suited all... More
