Myself and my best mate booked a year in advance to go to Cuba. Initially I booked to go myself, then my mate decided in the January to come too. I did book to stay at the Blau in Guadevaca (sorry, forgot how to spell it). Then the hurricane hit!! I did think to cancel, but though better of it,... more

Our first time in Cuba and had a brilliant holiday. After a long flight with thomas cook as we stopped at holquin, check in was very fast with welcoming drink. E mailed for pool and sea view in advance and we were not let down. Breathtaking view when we woke up 1st morning. Room was very nice. The hotel interior... more

Arrived about 6.30pm and it was pitch black for the journey from the airport to the hotel. Booked in without a hitch and given a welcome drink on arrival before our cases were transported to our rooms. Room was nice with everything we needed - safe, air con, fridge, 2 double beds, tv, table & chairs and balcony (room 950... more

However, any negative comments, in my opinion are totally unfounded-particularly with regards to the food. It was delicious! And i have extremely high standards when it comes to eating out. Food A lot of the food is... more

If you're looking for a relaxing beach holiday for a reasonable price the Blau is for you. You'll get an amazing beach, a clean hotel with spotless grounds, nice staff and quiet evenings having a cocktail listening to music at the bar. Enjoy! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions. :) more

A perfect holiday... few days total relax in Varadero and the rest of the holiday travelling around Cuba. It has been very exciting and the Blau Hotel Varadero offered a fantastic service and facilities. I reccomend that! more

even though i tend to agree with previous reviews about the standard of the hotel i really have to let people know how bad the food really is!!!! we were never expecting the Ritz what we did expect was food that we could actually eat and not the cold raw slop that we were expected to eat every day, or... more
