After reading all the reviews, I was not sure what to expect, but everyone has a different opinion. I travelled to Veradero with my sister and daughter. The hotel was great, room always nice and clean, maids were great, did not hassle us for tips. The drinks were great, lots to choose from and no one expected a tip, we... More

My family spent a week at Playa Caleta and returned back to Canada on Monday. We had a wonderful time. Do not go expecting a five star resort but rather a joyful, peaceful week. Yes, they could do better with upgrades. Our shower curtain rod was rusty, the sliding door in the kid's room didn't lock (we were on the... More

My fiance and I were married at the Playa Caleta on July 29th, 2011. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or day. The staff were amazing! They worked so hard to make our special day unforgettable...which they did! Thank you to our wonderful wedding coordinator! She worked so hard at providing every wish we had. She was pregnant...

My husband & I booked a last minute trip to Cuba (our first time), and the Playa Caleta was the only resort available to us. Having stayed at a 5 star resort last year in the Dominican Republic, we knew not to expect that, but even so, our first impression of this hotel was not good. We arrived at 3... More

The Good: Our floor always smelled clean when we got off the elevator as did our room. The people who worked there are very friendly. The water at the beach is very warm. The entertainment is good. The bread is awesome and the coffee at the lobby bar is sinfully good! The location is well placed if you like to... More

I stayed here with my good friend about two years ago in early May 2010. We were both 19 and actually had a really good time! I will say we only paid 560CAD, tax incl. That had a lot to do with our great week. Food- Pretty good, on par for Cuba, I have been to cuba 4 times so... More

Stayed at Playa Caleta 8-April to 15-April 2012 The Hotel is very nice and well kept. It is a little older than the Hotels at the east end of Varadero. It shows its age a little. It could use a little cosmetic and minor structural maintenance to bring it back to a 4+ hotel. The outside stairs are better than... More

Hello Folks and Cuba - my 2nd visit to Playa Caleta this April 11 - 18 - 2012. Apparently off season had begun and quite a few Cubans began to come to this hotel. I know reduced occupancy presents problems but several things need to be fixed before I will return. I am pretty sure the worst offenders were the... More
