We stayed at the Melia Peninsula for two weeks in May. The room; immaculate and very spacious exactly as advertised in the brochure, fridge re-stocked daily along with a great bathroom with a separate shower. Downside to the room we had was the two double beds (which aren't double) pushed together, I regularly woke up falling between the two! The... More

I know review is a little late but it's something. We were treated great by the staff. We actually took all kinds of cheap makeup and similar items to leave as a tip and the staff were so pleased. If you plan to leave the hotel the cab fair can be really pricey. So try to get a cab from... More

My husband and I stayed at Melia Peninsula Varadero from 7-14 April 2013, our first time in Cuba, celebrating our 41st wedding anniversary.

My wife and I arrived on April 23, 2013. First impressions of the Reception Desk were a concern until we discovered that it was being renovated. Our room had two 3/4 beds, which was a little disappointing as we had hoped for a king bed, but we weren't there for the room. The beds were a little firm by our... More

Stayed here between the 30th April and 9th May 2013 and I had a lovely time. There were a few minor quirks, but I figured that was the charm of Cuba.

No idea how they got 5 stars, but the standard in Cuba in general is not the same as in other countries. The infrastructure is so far ok, they do their best to keep it maintained. Not a easy thing in a country where it's very difficult to find replacements. The quality of food is far below of what you... More
