Our first family vacation and how lucky we were NOT to listen to all the rotten comments about Tortuga. It by far exceeded our expectations. Not a posh resort but rooms clean, food good, service EXCELLENT. You couldn't ask for nicer people, always willing to help you out. We have daughters and not once did we have to worry about... More

Booked here for some winter sunshine, not quiet knowing what to expect.Like most people looked through the comments on this web site which were very mixed.First I will have to say I agree with most people the Hotel is described as a 5* and I would say more 4* .But star ratings abroad are very different from the UK.Saying this,...

We spent January 19-26/2012, basking in the sun on the Varadero Beach by the Villa Tortuga Resort. Seriously, I truly felt like I died and went to heaven while I lay in the sun on this spectacular beach listening to the peaceful sound of the ocean. The Villa Tortuga Resort, while being rated a 3 star at best, suited all... More

Overall we enjoyed our trip, arriving home this morning. I was not impressed by our room, we were in block 8. Food was very bland and monotonous. But we always found something to eat. Service was good. Hubby wasn't impressed there was no beer at the lobby bar. Entertainment team was virtually non-existent, one show every night, but no activities... More

Traveled to Varadero February 2011 with 2 other girls. We're all university students from Canada and we're looking for an inexpensive trip for our break. We got a deal through signaturevacations for 7 nights here under $700, not a bad price but also not the best hotel you've ever been to. Check in went fairly well, we only had one... More

This place really met my expectations in terms of service, room quality & cleanliness, food & drinks: you definitely get what you pay for. So don't pay $500-$600 & expect North American style services, amenities & luxuries. Personally speaking, I find it rather ridiculous behaviour from travellers, when they go to other countries & expect to get all the little... More

I went to this hotel in February of last year with 4 other girls. We aren't ones to complain but.... When we first arrived, it was about 10pm it was dark and quite no one was around... there were 5 of us all together so we had 2 rooms. When we got our rooms, our rooms were not together they... More

Hotel and services were excellent. Communication is all that one needs to apply. People are not mind readers. All my requests were attended to, even when I battled the lack of spanish I had to work with. Beach is immaculate. Night entertainment was fabulous. Food was good. Booze was great. Room was perfect. There is a "on resort moron" named... More
