We were at the Melia Varadero from May 12th to the 19th. I will NOT be going back. I have been four other times to Cuba. The first 3 were outstanding and the people exceptionally friendly and treated us well. Not so at the Melia. We were ignored by the staff at the buffet and you had to ask for... More

The best of the hotel: the blue beach. The facilities need maintenance and staff is not very friendly. Food ok, but not great.

Everything fine, the bed was very big and comfortable, the TV brand new with channels from everywhere in every language, good... More

I am a little late in putting in this review. We returned to Melia Varadero for 2 weeks,from March 22nd to April 5th. This was our 4th time,after skipping a year and trying Riu Varadero-( very disapointed) and we could not have been happier. The Hotel is back to it's old splendor, along with excellent customer service. All the Staff... More

Nice large rooms and, luckily, a sea view, which is adjacent to the hotel. The large restaurant caters well for the large number of guests, and restaurant staff were pleasant and helpful, (unlike a similar place in the beach near Trinidad, just reviewed.) The food was plentiful, and with a good variety. Other, small and themed restaurants, are available too... More

This was our third time to Varadero and first time at the Melia - April 25 - May 2. I must say I was a little worried after I had booked this resort due to some of the reviews about the washed out beach and was pleasantly surprised when I arrived to see that it wasn't as bad as the... More

My girlfriend and I returned this past April and found the resort to be as wonderful as the previous year. RESORT The resort is clean. Upkeep is important and it shows with numerous garden crew out early and throughout the day working. Wonderful reception staff. Small store on site and prices are reasonable but of course slightly more [not much]... More

I loved my stay at the Melia Varadero. Part of that for sure came down to the fact that we were upgraded to one of the suites. This was a bedroom, separate sitting room affair with a little kitchen-ette and two loos. The best bit was an enormous roof terrace. I had originally booked a superior room on the Melia... More

This is my 2nd time at Melia Varadero (June 2011 and April 2012) and I highly recommend this hotel. Because I travel alone, I always feel very secure in this type of “hotel”.
