It was okay, food was good, and I loved the fact that in the morning you could have your NATURAL juice made right in front of you. Coffee was great as well! SERVICE: Service at the bar was good,although it pas packed at all times. Service at the restaurant was good, not excellent, but good. Waiters polite. BEACH: Excellent, white... More

We went there for a week from the 1st of February. Everything was great ! Rooms were cleaned on a daily basis, clean towels and clean sheets every day. We had a room with the Canal view on the 3rd floor. We didn't smell anything too weird and the view was great. Food was good. I think most people went... More

I spent Jan 15 - 31 at this resort. Was a great experience to visit varadero. I have been travelling for the last 10 years and I would rate this trip to be my worst experience. I have stayed at numerous resorts and this resort is definetly not a 4 star. May have been 10 years ago and they have... More

Well we just returned from Varadero on Tuesday February 7, 2012, and let me start off by saying I read every review about Playa Caleta on Trip Advisor for at least 2 weeks before we left, and quite honestly I was scared to go. I have been to Cuba twice before this but at the other end of the island... More

Not sure if we stayed at the same hotel as some of those posting negative reviews. My wife and I were there from 23 Jan to 6 Feb, and had a great time. First the negatives - The front desk staff are not the most friendly, and checking in took a long time. The beds are not the most comfortable,... More

I guess I am not an all-inclusive person. For young people and people who like to party, I think this is a reasonably good place but for me, an old fart, the disgusting attitude of the servants in the dining-room and at bars turned me off. I had been to a pleasant all-inclusive before in the Dominican Republic,where one tipped... More

I must admit I was apprehensive to go here after reading some reviews on our accommodations at the Playa Caleta here on Trip Advisor.. I went without expectations and was pleasantly surprised with the hotel, the services it had and definitely the staff. The humidity was very high so it was only natural that we felt dampness in our room.... More

We just returned from Playa Caleta for one week and found it fantastic for the price. We have been to Cuba 3 times so far and have always been happy, this place was no exception. I'll give the cons first to leave on a positive: Cons: -Food is not the greatest at the buffet. It's edible at the buffet, always... More

Too low quality for us. Everything. We booked this trip from Scandinavia and paid about USD 5.700,- for two persons for two weeks stay. Too much for this type of hotel if you ask me. Anyway, we changed hotel via our tour operator after one night. Had to pay a lot in between but what to do.. The hotel we... More
