All in all, this was the worst all inclusive vacation I have been on to date. I don't really have anything good to say about this resort, aside from the Chinese restaurant, Oshin, was pretty good. The entertainment shows were not bad. The entertainment staff seemed pretty friendly and engaged. Some buffet staff were very service oriented, others were not.... more

. If you are looking to go to Varadero Cuba, definitely stay here. This is not my first time to Varadero but the first time I enjoyed the hotel, food, beach, service and atmosphere. I traveled with family in a group of 8 including adults, children, and teenagers. This resort was perfect for all age groups. The staff made everyone... more

My fiancee and I read so many reviews on this hotel before we finally decided to book the Melia Varadero for our wedding. Thanksfully we did not listen to some of the negative reviews. I have travelled to several different countries so its not as if this is my first vacation. We just loved the Melia Varadero. It is absolutley... more

We stayed in Melia Varadero for 2 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed it, with the exception of the check-in experience. There were only 2 staff on the desk when we arrived and there was quite a long queue. We waited about 25 minutes before our turn. At that stage, staff spent another 45 minutes trying to locate our reservation. This... more

Here are my thoughts about Melia Varadero based on our stay there in April 2009. We are a family with a 10 y/o kid. LOCATION 1 km east from Xanadu Mansion, 5-10 min drive from Varadero city. Far from Autopista Sur road, very close to water. There is a conglomerate of three Melia resorts: Las Americas, Varadero and Sol Palmeras.... more

My husband and I decided to book a very last minute spring break trip. We chose Cuba simply because that was where the plane was going on the day we wanted to leave; we ended up at the Melia Varadero because the reviews seemed adequate for our needs. We used Sunwing and departed out of Edmonton on March 30. We... more

Okay - this is the most honest review you're going to get so please read tight! The hotel is 'okay' its not what i would have expected from a 5* its just okay. The receptionists can be a little bit moody, two in particular - and dont understand a hell of a lot of english but you have to get... more

I read a lot of reviews before booking the Melia Varadero and was still a little apprehensive. Although it got better reviews than most I was still expecting crappy food and maybe some other problems. I have to say, whoever has a bad thing to say about this place maybe needs to remember that they are not in North America... more

We flew direct from Regina by Sunwing on March 12th and returned on March 19th. Overall it was a good flight both ways, except for the damaged luggage on the way back. We found that the young employees we spoke with at the airport on Saturday were less than helpful - quite uninterested in anything we might have to say.... more
