This resort was an excellent resort to go and we had a wonderful stay. I would say that we were both a little worried about the food quality after talking to people and reading reviews but I found it to be quite bearable. No its not home like back at home but you can't expect that. We had omlettes, pizza,... more

Where do I start, by staying hungry the whole week, a hideous smell once u step in the buffet, or calling the reception for information and hanging up the phone to your face, or maybe, the mosquitos eating u alive. The shows at night were a waste of time, no energy comming from the animators, I stroped for a minute... more

My wife and I returned from Cuba on May 10 and our stay at Barceló Premium Marina Palace was very disappointing, to say the least. We arrived at the hotel at 11:30am where we had to wait in line for over an hour just to be told that our rooms would not be ready until 3pm. At 3pm we had... more

Four of us stayed at the Barceló Marina Palace from 22 May to 6th June and here is my opinion. Flight Thomas cook don’t compare favourably with First Choice for entertainment or seat width. Leg room is ok but anyone wider than Mrs Beckham will struggle. The return journey was chaotic as airport check in computers crashed so boarding was... more

We traveled to the Marina Palace in a group of about 40 for a destination wedding. We pulled in around 11:30 PM and were greeted by swarms of mosquitos and a long check in line. The next day several people visited the on site Doctor and had a benedryl shot and a cream to stop the itching and swelling. This... more

We stayed at this resort from May 30th to June 6th. I had read the reviews prior to leaving and was a little concerned with the complaints. However, I too thought...it can't be as bad as they say surely...after all it is a 5 Star. I have stayed at 2 other 5 Star Resorts in Cuba previously and have to... more

We have a couple friends who decided to do a destination wedding and decided to have it here. This was my first All Inclusive experience and left somewhat disappointed. The weather was great and was hot. Not a drop of rain the whole time we were there. The resort is the very last resort on the Varadero peninsula so the... more

Me and my girlfriends are in our 20s and we had a great time!! Bring lots of bug spray and wear it at night! The weather was perfect everyday!! It only rains at night in Cuba, and when it does, it's for like 2-3 minutes. The weather is never a problem unless you go in storm season which is late... more
