Property is new and was still under construction... So to say the least the grounds weren't in the greatest shape. Pools were clean however extremely cold! I dint go in once... They need to warm them a bit during the cooler days. We stayed in the privileged area and supposedly there was a butler however he wasn't present most times.... More

We arrived later in the day, and our first impression was very nice. Very friendly staff greeting you right off the bus, quick and easy check in and then a short golf cart ride from the lobby to our room. They certainly do a great job right from the start. The lobby bar is always busy and the bartenders are... More

Four ladies on a getaway vacation from April 19-26th. Cannot say anything negative about the resort. Check in was quick, Felix was sweet and his english was excellent. The staff were all very gracious and accommodating. Shout out to Anisleidy, Karima and Damaris for their pleasant and friendly manner, they made us feel right at home. We were in block... More

I had such a wonderful time with my family at this resort; it was beautiful and clean, with great food and drink. The entertainment was spectacular, and the staff was kind and friendly. Nestor remembered how I took my coffee every morning (cheerfully calling "Hey, Latte! Good morning!"), and we were excellently catered to by Yania, Meili, Elieser, and Iyis... More

We were in building close to lobby and restaurants on the second floor which was modern, clean and very comfortable. The beds are firm but not too hard with pillows that we found... More

The best part of Ocean Varadero is the intimate and cozy piano bar. Tania and Nereyda take such good care of patrons and make the experience memorable. Don't miss Varadero Blue's. The music and singing is lively. They are a very talented trio and I would go back just to hang out at the Piano Bar with them every night.... More
