Hello everyone Just returned from this beautiful place) We have been to Cuba for the 2nd time and went without much expectation, but this hotel left an indelible impression. Latinos and Canadians are held in high esteem here - they are treated in a special way. The dining room is a separate type of daily quest: find a plate, fork and glasses. Food is a special kind of cooking, but you will lose weight. There is always a rum bar and beer, but usually there is nothing to wash down the rum with. Tea and coffee - you need to stand in line in the morning, but it will be with a smell of drinks. Take a thermos/mugs with you and then you won't have to drink from disposable unwashed cups. Canadians do just that) Animation - during the day they try to entertain on the beach and by the pool, and in the evening there are hocus pocus and a disco. The rooms are poor, but clean. Towels - it seems that they are not washed at all) The ocean and sand are beautiful, but this does not cover the daily hardships at the hotel. Life hack: delicious burgers and sandwiches are prepared in the second building (not in the main one), as well as pleasant bartenders who will serve you without complaints.

It used to be good, now it has moved down to the three-piece level in terms of service and nutrition. The beach is still the best on the coast. There are a lot of everyday problems - when settling in, the best rooms are for Canadians, what will remain for us. With water - turned off for a few days, then hot, then the shower on the beach does not work. The staff - they think that everyone owes them. Food - canteen. Then there are no spoons, then glasses, then plates. Flies and hot. There was rum and beer in the bars, there was no wine (October 2023). The evening show is normal, there is no animation. Maybe they will still be corrected if all the old frames are driven back.

I am writing a review for the first time, after the trip. They settled us in the evening, took us to the Bungalow. They showed me where to go. The hotel room is like the first trip to Egypt 18 years ago. The sheet turned out to be covered in yellow spots, it is not clear why, and leaving the presents, they changed it for 2 days only. We thought we weren't picky! But every day there is chicken, rice, beans. Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, carrots are made from vegetables... Yes, there was ice cream. The fruits were head, pineapples, papaya. The queue for dishes, plates, glasses, forks is boring. Dirty tablecloths in the dining room. And when there are a lot of Cubans in the hotel. Be prepared to always be the first to arrive. The fight for everything begins... I gave presents to those I liked. If you want to buy fruits and bring something home. Take an excursion to the Caribbean close to departure. They are for sale only in that area along the highway, they asked the guide back, he brought them. Take Alyonka, she is welcome here. Carumel for children and adults with pleasure. Be sure to take thermo mugs with you, and take waffle towels too. Those that are issued there are extremely rare. And sometimes they were stolen from someone on the beach who took their place. And a fine of $20. We were getting out to Varadero for a $10 one-way taxi. The hotel is a bit boring in the evenings. Yes, sometimes there is animation and music. Every week, it repeats itself day after day. And when 2 weeks of rest. There is no point in going to 2 anymore. Despite the gifts in the room. Water was supplied 3 times in 2 weeks. The rest of the time we went to the lobby with bottles to pour it. Where coffee is poured, cockroaches crawl and I noticed them only for 2 weeks of rest. I found tours in Russia in advance, went to the Caribbean and liked it.Pegasus is a separate story. We went from the tour operator to Havana with the Tropicano show. 165evro! My advice is not to drive. Guan's guide. Before lunch, I brought rum to the store and at lunch our tourists bought a strawberry legendario. What's he for, I'm going to take you back to the store now, everything is there! I asked him a question, are we just going to go rum shopping? When does the tour itself start? As a result, he started yelling that he would give free time not 1.5 hours, but 1 hour. In fact, he ran around the center, took me to the Capitol Area, gave me an hour. We managed to rent a convertible for 30 minutes, run into Floridinia, drink 1 cocktail and meet with the guide. They put us in a hotel in a 2-bed room for 6 people. In order to wash and change clothes. One + seafood dinner. He took us to the Tropicano show at 9 p.m. Where we sat in the 1st place for 40 minutes and waited for it to start. Instead of letting people relax in the room! It is better to ride individually, max up to 9 people in a group. This way you will feel comfortable and cheaper than with a group. We were in Cuba for the first time, Someone goes there many times. I'll think about whether I want to go back there or not... Yes, the ocean pleased the beach, there are always sun beds. You can take a free ride on a catamaran for 30 minutes, a sailboat for 10 minutes and kayaks for 30 minutes. Don't put it off for 2 weeks, they worked for max 4 days. Because if there is a yellow flag and waves they don't work. There is a + Varadero has Floridinia too, as in Havana, I advise you to go there, for $ 5 cocktails.It will be a little cheaper in Pesos. We went to the Battalion, the cocktails are not delicious. Paying in pesos, all the waiters then run away from you. There is not much atmosphere on 62nd Street. 30 minutes and we left there. There is a dolphinarium not far from the hotel for $ 35. We went there about 17 hours and the entrance is free and admired the dolphins. The hotel grounds are beautiful. She is well cared for

The BEACH AND THE OCEAN come first!!! Animation on the beach, pool, during the day. In the evening in the lobby and performances in the theater area, after the disco, most likely until the last dancer))) The food is varied: muesli, yoghurts, waffles, soups, chicken, pork, liver, beef, stewed fish, fried, vegetables, fruits (watermelons, pineapples, papaya, guava and an unspecified fruit)), wine, beer, coffee, water, tasteless juices, pepsi and fanta, sliced cheeses, ham and sausages, local salads, you will not stay hungry. Very tasty chocolate ice cream at lunch and in the evening. The grill bar is open from 10-17. There is a snack bar in the Southern building for 24 hours There are 6 bars, one round the clock. We definitely take a Thermo Mug with us!!! And we go everywhere with her)) Remedies for Mosquitoes and bedbugs!!! In recent days I had a meeting with them, but apparently only I have))) but it didn't spoil my impression. There are no medicines, so we take everything we need with us. We DO NOT TAKE excursions from Pegasus!!!!! There are telegram chats, everyone shares contacts!!! On the 3rd floor there is a bar where a pianist plays for only one hour! A must-visit!!! For $ 5 there is a bus in Varadero, the ticket is valid all day until 18.00 It's also worth signing up for an ALA KART restaurant!!! They serve very tasty lobsters!!! The entry is on the 3rd floor from 9-10. The Internet, they give out an individual login and password, do not forget to disconnect, it is issued for a certain number of hours, but they are constantly extended at the reception. There is an exchanger on the 1st floor. We take more chocolate with us, they love it very much. It is also necessary to take sunscreens with you. You can't leave anything on the bed)) these are your gifts)) and then you don't even have to look))) Dollars are accepted everywhere. Have a pleasant, colorful and unforgettable vacation for everyone!!! I hope the information will be useful for someone.

Great hotel, very polite and nice staff. During the week of rest, I did not even go around half of the territory. Beautiful access to the ocean, the beach itself is clean, there are plenty of umbrellas and sun beds. There are many bars and restaurants, even at night, if desired, you can eat and get drunk with firewood. The price for the room is low, the neighbors from the top five noted that it is prettier and the food is better here. I advise you to spend your time here.

Be careful, bottled water is poured into bottles repeatedly. As a result, there was water poisoning - the temperature was 39 for 3 days and all the other consequences of poisoning. They wanted to settle by the road, although a room with a sea view was paid for, as a result, after a couple of days they moved into our room, where there was literally a hole instead of a hose under the sink), irresponsible employees. The sea is beautiful, the food is bad, there are a lot of stones in the rice- minus the teeth, the food is stale. I gave it 1 star because it was really not safe for my health to be there. If you do not drink soda and alcohol, then it is best to take water from the bartenders (ask for boiling water and cool it). The rave reviews are not clear to me.

The hotel is tired, something may not work, you can apply, they will fix it. It seems that everything is there (except the brush) and if you do not expect Turkish all inclusive, then it is quite comfortable, as everywhere in Cuba, there is a lot of entertainment, animation, several bars, swimming pools. I think if a person goes to Cuba, he has read about the country before and has no big illusions) the hotel is normal, the beach and the ocean are great)

If you like seal holidays, you are welcome here. Snow-white sand and crystal clear emerald ocean. There is no diving, all living creatures hide from the sun during the day. Diving in the Caribbean, they are nearby. Of the cons: remember the resorts of the USSR in the 80s and 90s. Cubans are trying, but apparently not all at once. The service is lame.

I was at the hotel in February 2024. I highly recommend not to visit. In addition to the usual half-ruined rooms for "four" in Cuba with one working outlet, gray towels, problems with soap and shampoo, monotonous meals without any seafood, bed linen has never been changed in this hotel for twelve nights, and there are regular interruptions with sugar and butter then with coffee. Alcohol is a separate problem. There are no gin and tonics, pina coladas, daiquiris by definition, mojitos were in the morning until 11 o'clock, until the mint runs out, and then not every day. Red, white and sparkling wines appear in bars extremely irregularly at different times, one or two bottles per bar and also not daily Rum is offered, as a rule, low-grade white with a clear fusel flavor. Decent rum (from three years old) was only three times in my twelve nights, and each time only for one day. Such rum is openly stolen at the level of the midlemanagement of the hotel, and the security and staff almost openly offer to buy it for cash (not only on the beach or on the hotel grounds, but also in the evening at the bar on the veranda of the lobby area) - Habana Club 5-7 years 0.7 l or Legendario for $ 8-10 per bottle. The "guest service" service consists of two wonderful pre-retirees, whose main advantage is a good knowledge of the Russian language. Further, all questions die "in the process"... The staff can safely "grab" the "household trifle" left on the table in the central restaurant or lobby of the hotel - from a thermos mug or headphones to a tablet. Etc., etc., etc. Even after bringing all this information to the hotel director, who was accidentally caught somewhere on the eighth day of his stay, NOTHING CHANGED, including the night rum trade in the hotel bar.

Everything is provided in the hotel, but many things do not work, or are over ("over" is the key word of the whole Cuba). The hotel itself looks like a Soviet abandoned building, which is true to some extent. It's not a long walk to the beach, it takes 5 minutes to walk through the territory. The power is poor, the lighting does not work everywhere, the water was turned off once during our stay.

Just choose another hotel, there is nothing to eat, no, you will stay hungry if you are not satisfied with cabbage, strange cashmere, dry chicken legs, bread of one kind for breakfast, butter once a week, cheese is not edible. Alcohol is so strong that vacationers get sick in the room for two days. I couldn't get a towel in a week, maybe I should have stood there for an hour, I didn't stand. The staff without money will not smile at you once, everything is dirty, buttons, pens, I want to wash my hands all the time. In the room, the linen has not been changed once in 8 days, it was in tea and sorry, in the ladies' moments. But it will do) yes, no insects, , the beach is good, everything

A good hotel, the food is quite normal - especially after talking with tourists from other hotels, we appreciated that we did not have interruptions with dishes or food in principle (and even hotels with a top five could not boast of this). The staff is quite polite, especially if you thank them, not with money - a chocolate bar or a plate of pills will also do. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you leave your personal belongings somewhere on the territory of the hotel, say goodbye to them))) No one will be looking for them. We left a bag with sweatshirts and sneakers next to the guards, so it disappeared. The receptionist tried to convince me that the bag had been taken away by tourists... But I doubt that any of the quite decent people needed our worn things)))

The food is varied, but bland, because in Cuba they do not know how to cook meat and fish. With a positive attitude, there is a lot of everything and everything is delicious! The beach is beautiful, clean, there are a lot of sunbeds. The pool is clean and cool, refreshing is the best thing! The room stock is very strange, the rooms are dead and dirty, due to the fact that repairs in Cuba are expensive, but the linen and towels are clean. If you choose this country, then read its history. Don't wait for luhari village, it's Cuba! Here is the ocean and the Caribbean Sea, here are convertibles, songs and dances. This country is about mood and visual, not about super service.

We were a family at this hotel in November. Food - 3. Only rice looks really decent from side dishes. Meat was chicken, beef dishes were normal, I would even say delicious, the only thing was monotonous. There were no fish and seafood at all during the 10 days of our arrival. Vegetables - cucumbers were every day, cabbage, but it was tasteless, tomatoes were mixed red and green for 3 days. Very strange-looking salads with pasta and pineapples. In my opinion, vacationers only looked at them, but once I saw that someone, without waiting for fruit, chose pineapples right from there. Eggs and scrambled eggs for breakfast - always. Not a bad ham and cheese, if that's enough. Very tasty ice cream and desserts - that's 5+++ for them. Separately, I would like to mention the chef who cooked scrambled eggs and omelets. Well done!!! Every morning with a good mood, a smile, songs, despite the fact that the stove was well heated only on one side. The trouble with dishes, especially with clean ones. There are not enough cutlery, napkins. There is almost always no salt in salt shakers. There was a good soup for lunch and dinner, but there were no spoons. I personally ate tea, though not with a fork :). The bar is constantly running out of something - soda, water, mint, ice. Everything, but not rum. Rum does not end. Juices are often sour. The room was not bad, but water was flowing from one light bulb in the hallway right after the rain. In general, the roof leaks in the main building. Towels and bed linen are changed only upon arrival of guests. They wash the floor every day. In general, the staff should be given their due, they are trying. Although there are exceptions. The beach is big and gorgeous. For the beach 5. And the ocean is beyond praise. But 2 days of our arrival it was stormy and only the bravest of our compatriots swam. The pool is there and its type is being cleaned. But the water in it is cloudy. Almost no one swims there. In general, despite the shortcomings, I liked the rest. The Ocean made a great impression, and it will remain in memory. Future tourists who are planning a vacation in Cuba, not only in this hotel, would like to wish not to ignore the advice and take glasses or mugs with them. And the locals will be very grateful and grateful if their Russian friends bring them paracetamol and aspirin as attention. That's it.

Terrible hotel. We have been to this hotel 2 times, this year in October we went for the third time, and realized that we would not go anymore. What used to be and what is now heaven and earth.

The rooms leave much to be desired. Rum is always there, but there are problems with cola and everything else ... I advise you to visit the bar on the second floor of the main building. They don't make bad cocktails there. There are no vegetables (sometimes cucumbers). In the A la Carte restaurant, you can try lobster. The ocean and the beach are beautiful. If you need service, a chic room and a table, then you are not here

This hotel is suitable for those who set their goal:to see Cuba and not pay attention to the hotel itself. The hotel is old, the cleaning is good by Cuban standards, there is always rice, papaya and eggs, pasta with tomato...the dining room is unsanitary, as there are a lot of flies and birds, the food is not covered with anything. If you need comfort and some kind of service, then it is better not to go to this hotel.

The hotel is not new, quite large, very "tired". The staff tries to keep everything in good condition, but there are not enough building materials, dishes, and sometimes food. On holidays, a lot of guests come, to have lunch or dinner you need to stand in line for 15-40 minutes. This was not the case on normal days. There is not much food like everywhere else in Cuba. In the main restaurant: They often put everything in advance and the food goes bad right on the tables, as well as sour pineapples, guava, tomatoes, sausage, etc. There are not bad cakes, biscuits, eclairs, but almost everything without cream. There is a very big problem with the dishes, not only do you have to constantly wait for them to put food on the buffet, but you also can't ask for glasses to drink. In general, if you want to eat, go through the quest. From the delicious: meat, chicken or fish are cut up on a separate counter, sometimes pasta, everything is cooked in front of you-it's delicious and fresh, but there's always a queue. Delicious ice cream is also served for lunch and dinner: vanilla and chocolate and very rarely guava. In the grill bar on the street, different types of meat and poultry are cooked on mangalas at lunch, in principle not bad, but the range of food is quite meager. The rest of the time, you can have sandwiches or something similar to a burger here. There are several more bars, but they only have rum and lemonade, glasses tend to run out like everywhere else, many carry with them :) Animation and a kids' club work every day, contests, dances, relay races (all good guys) Every evening there is an event of dancing, songs, and after that there is a disco. The biggest plus of this hotel is a large beautiful white sand beach, which does not heat up even in the heat of 35 degrees. The sea is clean, no pebbles, no debris, and there are almost no fish near the shore. The entrance to the sea is very smooth, the first 30 meters are not deep. There is an alcohol bar on the beach and a lot of sun beds (there are enough for everyone). Everyone decides whether to go to Cuba or not, but if they decide to go, they need to tune in to the fact that this country is going through hard times right now, where there is a shortage of everything, and the coupon system works.

Everything is included, or the crowned heads are not here! We were in August 2023, 14 days. According to the guide, the best season in this area lasts from May to September, inclusive. 5* for the beach. The ocean is the purest, white, light sand. The entrance is soft, a few meters from the entrance to the sea there is still a pleasant sandy spit where you can sit in the water, it will be ideal for children. There were always enough chaise lounges and armchairs for sitting and there were plenty of free ones at any time. There are also square gazebos with canopies and soft double mattresses. You can use them around the clock. 3* for the rooms. They did not live in the main building, but in the distant ones. The room is large with nice balconies where you can dry your clothes - this is the only plus. The baths are terrible, they're all fucked up. I'm sorry, there are no brushes in the toilet. Towels, it seems, they do not wash, but just dry, they smell terrible. The water is hot and cold under low pressure, but it has always been there. The mattresses in the rooms are different and soft and there are harder ones. There are also individual air conditioners, both at home and shared, which are not regulated and rattle loudly at night, interfering with sleep. 4* cleaning. They come to clean at different times and constantly forget to do something, then report the paper, then change the towels, then the water. And it doesn't affect in any way if you leave a tip or not. 4* Staff. There are friendly waiters and bartenders who will always come to the rescue, we always left tips in $ or pesos, chocolates or gifts in the form of pens and cosmetics. But there are also those who specifically do not see you point-blank and thus extort tips. 1* dining room. At the beginning of the trip, we also ran into mango and shrimp a couple of times, then the food got worse. There are practically only eggs and cheese with ham for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, vegetables are zucchini-shaped cucumbers and grated: carrots, beets, although there are avocados. Fruits include green pineapple, limp watermelon, guava and papaya. They are brought in from time to time as they end. Side dishes in the form of several colors of rice, jerusalem artichoke and macaroni of the makfa type, which are boiled. The second is: fish of 2 types alternately, always chicken, beef, sometimes rubber, and pork. They also have a feature that they fry everything they have, both skin and bones and veins. The country is poor, you need to understand. Of the joys - freshly squeezed juices in the morning and often there was a good ice cream. Communicating with compatriots in this hotel is not the worst choice of dishes. There is a strain with the dishes in the dining room. The waiters do not have time to set the tables. You need to complete a quest before eating: find a more or less clean table with at least some appliances, catch when the plates were taken out so that there was somewhere to put the food, ask the waiter for glasses or appliances. There are countless flies, they just don't let you sit at the table. No one is going to do anything with them. 2* bars. I counted six of them. But they work "especially". One has rum, but no cola and sprite, the other is the opposite. It has happened that there is just no water in the bar, often there is no ice. result: If your priority is a beach with the cleanest ocean and a good beach, then you are here. If you like to eat delicious food, then this is clearly not this region. Despite the fact that the food is about the same in 4 and 5 stars.

Pros: A nice beach and an ocean without algae. They clean the floors in the room every day. And everything. Cons: shabby rooms, the dining room stinks of vomit, dirty, sometimes there is no paper in the toilets, no soap; there is a shortage of cups, spoons, forks, plates and glasses in the dining room; in the morning you have to stand in line for scrambled eggs for half an hour. The neighboring hotel, which is on the right, if you look at the sea, is much better. Everything is clean there, white tablecloths on the tables in the dining room, there is a list of cocktails and drinks at the bar. I was there for the new year 2024.

If you are JUST across the ocean and the beach, then OK. But, if you are applying for + - normal food, service, staff, cleanliness. Then immediately NO. The plates in the dining room are dirty, not washed. There are simply NO glasses under the WATER!! None of the staff will help you, they will look like fools from the category of "what else do you need?". Food is not food. This is a heaped-up mass of incomprehensible things for cattle. Believe me, what is offered in Egypt in the cheapest 3rd floor will seem to you a dish from the chef. The food on the plane is simply top class compared to what they give here. If you hope to enjoy cocktails, rum, etc. Forget it! There is nothing here from cocktails, except for tasteless fruits/vegetables squeezed with pulp. Do not flatter yourself that they are squeezed. This is a tasteless mass, not the first freshness. If you are hoping for at least some friendly or interested staff, then immediately -. I don't give a damn about you, without a tip you will be treated like a nonentity. TOTAL! Guys, I'm still at the hotel. I have to buy food outside of it. I have to beg the staff to work, for example, to fix the machine card from the room because it constantly fails. There is no seafood, not at all. No. I don't recommend this diner to anyone, even if YOU get paid. This is a natural concentration camp!

The hotel is very old and in poor condition. We got a very bad room, it's unpleasant to go into the shower room. But the worst thing is the main restaurant. Dirty, sour smell, plates and appliances are missing. Meals for 2 out of 10 points. Yes, there is meat, but it is not particularly edible. Alcohol is generally a separate story. In the country where rum is produced . The drinks are disgusting, served in plastic cups even at the reception. We have seen more than once how (juices) are diluted with water directly from the tap. I understand that Cuba is a poor country, there are many things missing, but damn, tables can be wiped with a clean cloth, spoons can be washed normally, there is no desire to return to this hotel anymore.

Nice hotel. The staff is friendly. The rooms in the main building are a bit old. But new ones are being completed nearby. The pandemic, of course, has brought its inconveniences, but these are small things. The food is excellent, the choice is great. The Internet is free, quite good. The sea is a separate song that cannot be expressed in words, it is so beautiful. By comparison, a poor country like Cuba has much better service and food than Egypt and Turkey. I recommend.

It was the end of March and the beginning of April 2023. The weather was without rain, 30-31 gr. during the day, at night 20-21. We had a great time, the ocean and the beach were just great. If you do not pay attention to the fatigue of hotel rooms and all sorts of little things and have an amazing positive, then everything is fine. You need to take a room in the northern building, although it is more expensive, but it is worth it. Be sure not to skimp on TIPS, then you will be treated like Canadians. We took chewing gum, simple ballpoint gel pens (Babi), medications (for blood pressure, aspirin, paracetamol, etc.), tights and more. Of course, $ 1 bills just flew away. Food. It's going to be hard for foodies, but it's okay for omnivores. I think that the food in Cuba is very natural without chemicals and flavor enhancers, so many people don't like it. The ice cream is very tasty. For those who like to drink here, PARADISE, rum and beer flow like a river (take into account the heat). BE SURE TO BRING THERMAL MUGS, preferably liter ones. Sometimes there are no disposable cups, I noticed their second use. So hygiene.Take a mosquito repellent . Anyone who wants to receive premium service from Cuba, it's better not to come here. I took both euros and dollars. At the airport, the driver changed a little to PESOS, at the rate of 150 for $ 1. In Cuba, $ and euros are equal. Excursions for euros.

We stayed in this hotel for 10 days in early October. The hotel is divided into the northern part (more expensive rooms) and the southern part (cheaper). We lived in the south. Beach. He's gorgeous at the hotel. Clean, light sand, just like flour. There were enough deck chairs for everyone. The territory of the hotel. Big, beautiful, but it feels like the hotel management is taking care of her badly. Somewhere the tile has fallen off, somewhere the garbage is lying around (especially near the bungals) it is clear that this is the residents' garbage (napkins, ear sticks, coconut remains), which the maid simply brushed off with a broom from the room on the gas. A fountain that works crookedly. Meal. Disgusting. Yes, I understand that the country is in a deep crisis, but it's not normal when they give pasta for lunch, and the next day the same pasta lies like ala salad (see photo). There are a lot of cockroaches, they run not only on the floor, but also on food, once a mustachioed man even climbed on his leg. There is practically no choice. Garnish: pasta, rice, fried bananas and an incomprehensible white substance. Number. I didn't get it very much. The air conditioner was not regulated, it either worked at full capacity, or we turned it off in the brush. There were two floor lamps in the room next to the bed, and either they were burning together, or none were burning. Ants were also present.

A wonderful hotel!!! The ocean, the beach is super, yes there are side effects, but it's so petty that you enjoy the atmosphere of life, yes there is one nuance that I did not like -these are beach towels that we Russians do not carry with us, but they are stolen on the beach and when I approached the guards and they throw up their hands. I believe that you should check your suitcase before departure , if there is no towel, then you should not take money from it at a rate of 25 euros . This is nonsense. I didn't think I'd ever come across this. As it is, everything is wonderful 🤟

I'm currently vacationing at this hotel, I read the reviews before the trip and was ready for the worst, but not that much!!! Comrades, this is the bottom, the shock is still there! Humiliation every day! I live in a bungalow, the room is large, but it's just creepy what a shabby bathroom, it's scary to look at it, not like to wash, the water is barely warm, the sockets are falling out! In terms of food, you can find something to eat, but before that you need to complete the quest ... get a plate, utensils, napkins and glasses. There are no beach towels for the third day!!!! To the questions where is it, where is it, why is it so.. everyone has the same answer.. later. I definitely will not return to this hotel, and I do not advise others. It is not clear where the four stars come from! The rest is definitely ruined! Yes, the beach and the ocean are beautiful, but are they worth the flight at 14 o'clock and the daily hassle???

I will not go to this hotel anymore, and I will not recommend it to anyone. A disgusting restaurant, very small and dirty. Sparrows fly in quietly and jump on the tables, peck at fresh bread for breakfast, and just on the tables. Although All inclusive is stated, apparently the restaurant did not apply to this. For almost two weeks, first of all, there were no cutlery and dishes in the required quantities (there were no tea cups for breakfast, there were no tablespoons for lunch, and there were no spoons or soup plates for dinner). And secondly, the food was served to us by the chefs (waiters), it felt like we had to beg for it. For example, there are only two slices at the sausage slicing distribution and this is for an adult man!!? At the same time, local Cubans and Canadians came for the weekend, who were served out of turn and in unlimited portions. Some waiters simply ignored them, and therefore, unfortunately, they could not get any spoons or drinks on their own, so they were without them for several days in a row. Further, there were no beach towels, during the week they simply did not exist at all and no one was going to solve the problem.

One of the best hotels in Varadero, not pretentious, but one of the best, magnificent Cuban atmosphere, Cuban music, Cuban delicious rum, Atlantic Ocean, magnificent white sand beach... The hotel is super, (by Cuban standards), it's not Turkish 4 stars, but it's still good there. A huge territory, delicious food (especially beef), large rooms, old furniture, but this did not bother me, but instead of a balcony there was a very large terrace, a pool bar, a beach bar, a spacious beautiful lobby, very friendly staff, cheerful musicians singing hits in the Cuban manner in the evening, a lot of greenery. In general, I was very pleased with everything, I liked everything, I will be very happy to return there again!

4, I put it only for the atmosphere that was around: nature, music, rum, etc.). Of course, the hotel is old, shabby, but you forget about it the next day. Cuba is not all inclusive, it is different.

As I understand it, the hotel is aimed at locals and Latinos. Hence the features. Cuisine in the style of "mashed sweet potatoes with wombat caviar", "soup with bananas", "pork fat with rice", etc. Rum from the 300 pesos per bucket series. The walls saw the last renovation, when Fidel had not smoked his first cigar yet... At the same time, the staff is nice, friendly and almost invisible. Both literally and figuratively. But believe me, as soon as you cross the dune and go out to the ocean, it all ceases to matter. In general... If you like Artek from the time of the Nezalezhnaya, grub instead of food and swill instead of alcohol, then you are right here. But if you're at sea, you don't care where. And then you will lose weight and give your liver a rest.

The food seems like everywhere else in Cuba. In general, you can find something to eat. The main restaurant smells very much of food, after a couple of days it gets pretty annoying, but you can solve the problem by choosing a table as far away from the food distribution points as possible and closer to the window. In the afternoon, you can dine outdoors in the grill bar, which is located next to the beach, there are no smells like that. Among the alcohol bars, in addition to local brands, there is Havana Club 7, reserva and below the level. The rooms are normal, they were like in the South (remote from the main building, reception) so it is in the Northern Building (main building). You have to try to live both ways to understand what suits you. In the South it is most often quiet (unless drunken noisy neighbors who like to listen to music loudly appear), in the North all entertainment is closer, but during animation and some entertainment in the rooms it can be noisy because of the music. The beach is being cleaned, you can play volleyball, animation in the form of dance lessons is present. We talked with people who have repeatedly come to Cuba - they appreciated this hotel very well, in comparison with others. In general, those who are looking for a super service are not going to Cuba.

The hotel is probably like everywhere else in Cuba, all the furniture is old, but the rooms are clean and there is always hot and cold water) as we've heard in other hotels, it could only be cold! Animation is only for those who know English well, they know very little in Russian ((( the beach and the ocean are just super 🥰😍the bar always has everything , but there are not enough glasses 😏it's better to take a thermocup with you )the food is so - so , there are a lot of things , but not very tasty ((( be sure to book an excursion to the waterfalls of elnicho 😍🥰

The hotel itself is not bad. The main advantage is the very friendly and always positive staff who try very hard. But the food is not very good. But the sea - 👍🏻

We had a vacation with my husband in June 2023 It was our third time in Cuba and honestly we didn't expect anything supernatural, the hotel had a large territory, there were few people and only the main building was working. According to the nutrition of the troika, the hungry never stayed. chicken, beef, pork and fish were always available + side dishes for every taste. We were very lucky and it was mango season, very tasty! THE OCEAN IS GORGEOUS! In general, if you drive on the positive side and do not bother with trifles, then the vacation will be fun and cool! after all, Cuba is a special atmosphere of friendliness - and this story is not about service at all! The hotel was worth the money and the vacation was great!

Terrible hotel. We went with a young man in the period 08/25/23-09/3.23. During our stay there, we, like most of the tourists, were poisoned, sat with diarrhea for 2 days in the room. Many in the reviews of this hotel wrote "You should not count on more, it's Cuba! You're not going for food." When choosing a hotel, we were aware that there would be no frills, but that hard-boiled eggs, chicken and rice can be poisoned - too much. There is no variety at all, and all the monotony is inedible and/or toxic. "Juices" - 1 fruit + running water, "ice" - running water, "soda" - running water, which in general is fraught with poisoning by default. Flies and birds fly in the dining room and calmly eat your own food, no one drives them away. In the very lobby of the hotel, at the entrance to the restaurant, there was a terrible smell of rot, rottenness, so much so that, even being hungry, I did not want to go there. Our room was in the North building, and every evening we heard very loud music. In the room itself, ants (in the corners) and cockroaches (in the bathroom they crawled out to the fiesta in the evenings) were next to us. Towels, bed linen are all dirty by default, even those that were laid after cleaning. The cherry on the cake: after another poisoning, we had to buy food for 1 day at the Iberostar hotel next to the coast for $ 150. What was our surprise when all the above-mentioned arguments of compatriots from the hotel collapsed, and we ate delicious, varied and safe food for us (fresh mango, guava, papaya; several types of soup, several types of meat, fish and side dishes; snack bar; pizza; pasta; carbonated drinks with gas). If the hotel positions itself as a 4-star hotel, then food and drinks, room service should be appropriate. For some reason, in Mexico or Egypt, even in neighboring hotels on the same coast of Cuba, they do not refer to the plight of residents, but keep the bar of the hotel and everything is there. Keep these concepts separate and choose your hotel carefully (just not Brisas). And when choosing a hotel in Cuba, read the telegram channels with the name of your hotel and check out the latest information about the hotel.

We stayed at this hotel with a friend during the May holidays of 2021. We were in Cuba for the first time. We flew with Nordwind Airline, we were fed once, then drinks on request, there was a TV, but they didn't turn it on. A PCR test was taken at the airport, everything was fast and efficient. We were greeted with drinks at the hotel, which was very pleasant. The check-in also went without problems, but the girls at the reception do not speak Russian at all. The room was on the ground floor overlooking the pool and ocean, with a terrace and plastic chairs. The room is certainly not new, but everything worked for us, it was clean, the only thing was that on the second night we were attacked by ants, we went to the reception, everything was promptly sprayed and the room was immediately cleaned. The hotel staff is generally a separate and long story. Everyone is smiling, they respond promptly to requests, Maria was our animator for the day and evening, she speaks Russian not badly, she also told us about the life in Cuba of the locals. By the way, instead of tips, you can take everything that concerns the personal hygiene of girls, women, cosmetics. They seem to have a very sad situation with this. The territory of the hotel is large, well-maintained, the pool is cleaned every morning. The beach is clean, there are enough sun loungers. Of course, the ocean is amazing, on the day of arrival there was a big wave that brought algae, but in the morning everything was excellent. As for nutrition, this is not for gourmets. It's very simple, but you won't stay hungry. Of course, you can't tell me everything, but if I want to come to this hotel again, I will answer with confidence that YES!!! The photo shows a view on the way to the beach.

Rough. I would like to ask everyone who writes reviews to write real reviews, and not "you can forgive everything overseas." YOU CAN'T! 1. Lobby and reception. It is impossible to get through to the reception, if there are problems in the room, you must stomp from one end of the territory to the other, and then return to the room and wait for the electrician / plumber / cleaner. There are two bars: one (and the only one in the hotel) makes tolerable coffee. On the second, cocktails are poured, except for rum Cola and cuba libre, there is never anything. Normal rum doesn't happen there either. Very slow reception service. 2. Nutrition. There's nothing to eat for breakfast except scrambled eggs. They cook TERRIBLY slowly, you can stand in line for 10-15 minutes. It's not clear what's in the pallets (it's really not clear until you try). For lunch and dinner, there are pasta and rice edible (they are generally very difficult to spoil), there is meat, taste and quality depend on the chefs (sometimes it is meat, sometimes it is salt with meat))). Desserts - unsweetened church bread with jam in different variations. There are edible ice creams for dinner. For a tip, it is possible to "make friends" with a restaurant employee, she will help you find a clean place next to the air conditioner, give you clean appliances, plates, and bring drinks. The air conditioners can not cope with the territory of the restaurant, it is very stuffy. A HUGE NUMBER OF FLIES. There are almost no fruits, or they are cut in a strange way (watermelon into thin slices). There are not enough appliances, plates, and we have to wait. They bring dirty ones. 3. Rooms. A SEPARATE TOPIC. This is not a boarding house, it is about 2 stars in Egypt, which is VERY bad. Mattresses with springs, it is impossible to sleep. They wanted to lay a blanket (there were two of them) - each smelled of the grandmother's cherished urine (cat piss). Towels are changed, but they are also all smelly. And in general, they may not change if you don't leave a tip, just like you don't leave water. That is, basic cleaning is all for the money, otherwise go to the reception and ask. In general, 1.5 liters of water are left in the room for two people, is this generally normal?)) In a country where it is difficult to find water in principle, are there no shops? The air conditioning in the room is working, but it cannot be adjusted. Either turn it on at about 16 degrees, or turn it off, there is no third option. I had to wake up at night to turn it off and not freeze, because it was impossible to cover myself with these blankets for hygiene reasons. Not all sockets on 220 work, but those that work are electric. The shower is stationary. There is no toilet brush. In other rooms, we were told that everything is OK with the air conditioning, and the refrigerator does not work. In general, as luck would have it. A couple of times there were dead cockroaches lying around the room. 4. 24-hour bar. Again, there is no normal alcohol. Sometimes you can see the Havana club special, but it's like a mirage - here it was, and now it's gone)) I saw Jean Beefeater a couple of times, but he also disappeared quickly. It was not possible to check whether it was diluted or not. Once I ordered coffee at this bar, the milk was sour, so we didn't dare order sandwiches. Although I've heard from conversations that they are edible there. Fruit is also served at the main restaurant at this bar during meals. There seem to be fewer flies. 5. Swimming pool and beach. The POOLS ARE DIRTY. For children, the water in the pool is just muddy, with sticks and some kind of leaves. It's the same song for adults, there's always something floating on the surface. At the pool bar, the song is the same, it's impossible to order a Pina Colada or Daiquiri, only Cuba libre and rum Cola, it tastes like nothing. It's the same at the beach bar, there are also no glasses, so BE SURE TO TAKE SHAKERS! ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! Beach towels))) They are Schrodinger's))) They kind of are, but also kind of not))) We have never seen them in our eyes))) from 9 to 17, a woman works in a tent that gives them out, but in fact she just sits and says that there are no towels))) In general, my husband and I were saved by two things on this vacation: activity, because of which we constantly went for a walk, went wild to Havana, where we shortened our stay in Brizas for 2 nights, and also the fact that in general we were ready for devastation. I should have prepared harder. Unfortunately, it was this hotel that spoiled the impression of a vacation in general. I don't want to go back. Friends who were vacationing in other hotels were much more satisfied with their vacation (in particular, Sol Palmeras), it is not much more expensive in the season. In general, you need to go to Cuba ready for quests and adventures. If you are with children, then be sure to take a good hotel, search through agents, and read reviews for a long time. I hope my review will help someone make an informed decision about choosing this hotel. Have a good rest!
