I had a reservation at a family house for 30 CUC a night, no breakfast included. When I arrived the family was not there so I started walking and thanks to my Lonely Planet I arrived to Mar del Sur. I paid 49 CUC a night ALL-INCLUSIVE...I could not believe it! The food is good and 24 hour open bar!... More

Check In When we arrived we were checked in quickly and efficiently. They had someone carry our luggage up to our room (We we on the top floor). Very friendly staff when we checked in and checked out as well as helpful. Our plane was leaving at 4am and they worked a deal to keep our room till midnight. Room... More

Spent one week with my wife and daughter after booking last minute so took what was available. Was kind of leery after reading some reviews as this was our first time in Cuba. We thought we might be making a mistake as we were the only ones to get off the bus after a 20 min. ride from the airport.... More

Several times to Varadero over the past few years and the experience isn't always just the hotel. It is the people you are with, the people at the resort at the time, the weather you get, and what the hell your expectations are!!! Open mind = fun time. Chances are, nothing will kill you in Cuba, the people survive off... More

Upon arrival at the hotel we approached the front desk and were greeted by a couple of drunk old dudes who were somewhat helpful in answering questions. Seems most Cubans don't like questions but rather want handouts so the drunk guys were alright. we arrived late at night, check in was fast. Our room in the closest block of rooms... More

From the moment my family and I walked in this hotel, it was a horrific experience! Check in was okay but was very slow as the staff there weren't really interested in working that day. We get to our hotel room and it was disgusting how dirty it was, like it hadn't been cleaned in years! Broken lights, curtains, mirrors,... More

I must say when vacationing to Cuba you can’t expect much if you are staying at a two star hotel. I’ve been to Cuba 4 times but this was my first time in Varadero I kind of expected a lot more only because it’s one of the big cities the country has to offer. I have mixed feelings about this...

So YES this hotel is very outdated BUT the location is truly amazing. Walking distance to anywhere you want to go. That being said, I agree with others when they say they have mixed feelings on this place. The Bad: 1st room we recieved didn't look like it had been cleaned since 1963. The curtains were barly hanging on with... More
