This hotel is rated 4.5 star and should be downgraded to a 1 star. They do not respond to complaints. The first night our room had no air conditioning and we were told we only ordered a standard room ( what does that have to do with AC). Finally after we complained many times we were moved. Next the power... more

My Dad and I just got back yesterday from the Barcelo Solymar. I gave this hotel a 3 star rating for a few reasons. We got to the hotel around 11 in the morning, but check in was not until 4pm. They held our bags, but we still had our carry ons and coats to deal with. We wasted a... more

This was my 4th time in Cuba, if you've been there you know that the people that are the type to complain don't go back. I wouldn't complain unless it was serious. The main pool was closed a few days before we got there, it looks like it wil be closed for at least a month. The problem with the... more

Here is a rundown on our stay at this hotel! Check in: Very close to the airport so quick trip to and from. When we checked in it was late evening and there were a few problems. The mini bar had been unplugged so there was water on the floor (they sent a maid up to clean it a bit... more

Varadero, Cuba, is an amazing destination. From the turquoise ocean and white sugar sand, to the excursions into Havana and the countryside, we were wowed. The Barcelo Solymar was an absolutely unique hotel, with a towering atrium with flowing vines, spacious nicely appointed air conditioned clean rooms, several sparkling warm pools, first class theme restauants and the in-hotel buffet offerings... more
