Best of the Best Hotels
Small & Boutique - Caribbean
From hidden gems to cozy retreats, these smaller stays make a big impression.
The Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.
There's lots to love about Mystique Casa Perla by Royalton. The adults-only beachfront hotel is home to 10 suites, each offering a unique design and dreamy views of the ocean or lush gardens (some even come with a jacuzzi). Its location is unmatched too, with Varadero's best bars, clubs, and restaurants just a short walk away. There's also a gym, sauna, pool, and spa—everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

- Excelent hotel just downtown Varadero. It is a boutique hotel of only 10 rooms. If You need something, You buttler service. They will help you to do everything, and they are very Nice and speak very very good English and another languages. The recepcionists are all great people. They always have smile on their faces and a good mood. The beach is the Best Thing!!!!! It is very cristal-clear Xoxoxo Mastique, god bless You.
@anelisdelasmercedesiReviewed September 2024 - Oh my God lovely little serious. We like it a lot last night. We have to opportunity to have dinner in this hotel and we were well. I don’t know. We have to see all the feelings we had at the time. We love it a lot because it’s small place. Everything is centralized. The stuff is very nice Choices they offer are amazing. The environment is amazing too and I like it a lot. I really really really like it light to say hello to Mary. She was made clean our room all the time anyway all the time just through all the time and I am very happy for her
@G1108PTsarahrReviewed August 2024 - Today I wanted to give a try to the restaurant, and orderer a steak, really surpriced, very nice meat, and the service was also very good. Highly recommended to have a different cousine experience in Varadero, including a nice beach view from the restaurance terraze
@jesuso116Reviewed June 2024 - 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 This is my second time here and I love it this place is very comfortable, you can breath peace piece everywhere. The workers are very nice are very friendly they hope you all the time battle so You don't need so much because here there only few people only hass 10 rooms it has reception the bar, a huge terrance.... And the most important and beautiful here is the beach I love it
@343viajesmReviewed June 2024 - Amazing hotel right on the gorgeous Varadero Beach. This is a small boutique hotel with only 10 suites. This creates such a peaceful and relaxing environment without the crowds, noise and normal disappointments of Cuban all inclusives. The hotel is extremely well kept and in great condition, the rooms are very large, well-appointed and kept clean by the maids. Beds are super comfortable, firm but with a pillow-top. The on-site restaurant is really good, with a large quality included breakfast looking out over the beach, good lunch/snack options + dinner menu. Perhaps the menu needs to have a little more variety available, but overall a very high quality for Cuba and reasonable prices. The location of the hotel near the town center also makes it easy to go to local restaurants, the best one we found was Waco's Club. The beach and ocean are out of this world, when the water is calm, the clarity and colours are just breath-taking. Service in the hotel is impeccable, another perk of being a small hotel is that you can get to know everyone and appreciate the personal service they give. Big shout outs to the butlers, Serguey and Zuri (Serguey's service was first-class). The main servers Yeni and Dia were also amazing. Overall and amazing hotel, with amazing service and a fabulous beach/ocean. Would definitely return here again as I am pretty sure this experience cannot be beat in Varadero. If you can afford the extra, then it's worth it!
