sandals is a great hotel, staff is wonderful, entertainment was kind of cheezy, we met some people down there and had great time with them but the food is absolutely horrible, no taste, i had to force it down some nights, my stomach could not have an appetite over there, I survived off Nutella (they have nutella) and crepes...lol....the chicken...

Returned from Sandals Royal Hicacos Feb 18. Celebrated wedding anniversary and since we were there Valentine's week, lots of romance and 'heart' decorations. Private as most tables at restaurants and buffet are for seating for 2. This was our 8th visit to Cuba but first at Sandals. Wide beach and great food. Wish they did not water down the coffee...

We arrived at Sandals Feb 13, 2012 after a great flight on Sunwing and a smooth transition at the airport. Check-in was a breeze. I got very attached to the "welcome beverage". LOL. We knew what to expect when we got to our room, which was just as I had requested. Once again, we were not disappointed by the food... More

My husband and I were upgraded to this hotel by chance. Wow, we were happy we went for it. Super cool layout of the hotel, the piano lounge is fabulous, with great service. Your drink will never get dry. Going to Cuba I must admit that we were a bit apprehensive about the food...no problems at this hotel. We ate... More

This vacation was decided when my husband and I didn't know where to go on vacation and wanted to go somewhere we never been. I posted a status on facebook and my friend Simone answered me right away. Come, meet us at Sandals in Varadero. This was going to be a special trip. It had been 23yrs since the last... More

Lovely resort with no thinking for yourself, freindly staff lovely food and drinks all day and night if you like. The beach is fantastic and cooler than the pool but watch that breeze or you will get burnt. Powder blue seas and white sands..what more could you want? Make sure you tip the staff as they do a great job... More

Third time at Sandals (Jan 26 2012 - Feb 2 2012) We've been to Sandals Varadero every winter for the last 3 years - we will be going back. Beach - Cuban beaches are wonderful - Sandals beach is wide and clean. Other reviewers have mentioned that Sandals looks "tired" and needs to be refreshed. This is true - the... More

Excellent food and clean place o eat, many restaurants and easy to reserve. And a long clean beach. If you bring some small gifts to give to the maid... More
