we had such high expectations going to the Melia Varadero, I have always had good experiences at the Melia line of resorts, that I ended up booking for 2 weeks instead of one! There are so many things about this resort that were disappointing, but let me begin with the one that was the most. The so called "Kids Club"... more

It is poor dirty hotel. The one thing what was not bad - ocean and hospitality of Cuban´s people. It is not a 5 stars hotel. May be 3... Beach is full of stones.... it is necessary go to other hotel to enter in to the water... more

I am of cuban decent and went to cuba to visit family for the first time (Thanks Obama). We stayed at the Varadero Melia. The beach in Varadero is of grand scale, the water so crystal clear and warm and the sand so white and fine. There are rocks at the beginning which make it tricky to get in to... more

The hotel is very bad , not 5 * , in Europe it's 3*. Not clean , the beach is very bad with stones between sand and the water. you must walk 150mts to enter in the water.A lot of botles and garbage. No enterteinemment for childrens and adults. Very poor hotel. No rooms clean , no dishes clean at... more

Ok..yes it was our first trip to Cuba and we didn't have a clue what to expect. Being experienced Latin American and Caribbean travelers we were not too concerned that they could throw something at us that we couldn't deal with. That being said I must say, even though yes we had the"superior" room, the room, restaurants, grounds, staff and... more

My boyfriend and I stayed June 28-July 5th, joining a larger group celebrating an anniversary and renewal of vows. The hotel was nice, the rooms nicely A/C'd and enough space for your belongings. It's an "older" hotel so the decor reflects as much, but also lends to the authenticity of the area and being in CUBA in general. The staff... more

then this is the place for you. The rooms were large but I was surprised at how dated they were. Still they seemed to have everything I needed during my 3 nights stay. I am not really a beach hotel person so 3 nights was long enough for me. The pool area was lovely, cleaned thoroughly each morning, and many... more

Very nice hotel, especially considering it’s been making a go of it in Cuba. Overall a good experience. Minimal mosquitoes, probably due to the nice steady breeze. During our tour in Havana, the guests from the other hotels told horror stories about the little devils, so that was a big plus for us that we hadn’t had any problems yet.... more

It was the first time I was in Cuba and chose this hotel together with my wife and daughter with 12 years. In general, the services available are good. Points to improve: 1) The beach is public, meaning that the Cubans occupied the chairs on the beach (which in principle not entitled) made food on the beach and up tents... more
