Just back from two weeks in cuba three nights in havana then to blau for a relaxing beach break. The hotel is large and we never felt crowded, always somewhere to sit and chill with a drink. Bar staff are all friendly and willing, although tipping does get a little better service. My husband normally runs out of things to... More

After months of reading trip advisor reviews we decided to choose this hotel for our wedding. From the moment we arrived it was fantastic. The food was delicious,no dodgy tummys. The beach.... wow it's breathtaking. Our wedding day was better than I could have ever dreamed. We met some amazing life long friends. We are now planning our return visit.... More

I have been to Blau several times. I might go back if the price is right. Overall, it is fine. Just fine. I'm not sure what the hype is (still) about. The hotel is 6 years old and getting old. There is mold in the showers and pool. The rooms need to be painted and the floors/corners need to be... More

The trip started with the help of a great vacation planner by the name of Linda May-Dinsmore. linda@personalizedtravel.ca. We did not know what to expect, yet no need... More

our stay at this hotel was part of a two centre holiday. 3 nights in Havana and 11 nights in Varadero. But you only want to hear about the hotel! it was a great choice, very good food - we had been concerned about this after our 3 nights in Havana where the food was poor. Everything you could possibly... More
