Beach Hotels in Varadero

We had an amazing time at Royalton Hicacos. We were Diamond club and tried all the a la cartes. The food was amazing! Surpassed all expectations and prior negative reviews. Alcohol was mainly of shortage (vodka and tequila), but there is always rum, beer, gin, and wine. Definitely an older crowd, but still a great time. The entertainment team does an amazing job during the day for activities and night time shows are nice. Would 100% return.

May 17th - 31st This was my 8th time staying here I believe and it certainly did not disappoint. The WIFI internet was decent and available all around the resort! The food was good and acceptable. Ice cream and desserts were the best. The hamburgers were a pleasant surprise with their local condiments! The late night sports bar and grill was the place to be. Air conditioned room with sports tv, pool tables, drinks, and a grill. As long as one visits Varadero to have fun, nobody will be disappointed. It's a utopia, that's all there is to it! Please upgrade and renovate the bathrooms! Tips: - Bring your own toilet paper, candy, sauces, condiments, foaming hand soap, bathtub and shower cleanser, scrub pads, soap bars, razors, shaving foam, - Take a visit to the International bank downtown Varadero to exchange CDN or US dollars into Pesos. Easier to spend with tipping and local restaurants with Pesos. Both have both currencies just in case. - Repeat guests: ask for an extension in your room past check-out time if you need. It should be free if you are a repeat guest.

Good meal, delicious. The environment is very beautiful, the place is very big, but the distance from room to restaurant is relatively long. The lobby service's laughter is not natural enough. Food is not bad.

It was our sixteenth trip to Cuba and first time at Iberostar Tainos. We enjoyed ourselves a lot. The grounds of the resort are beautifully manicured, lots of different plants and trees. Everything is in 3- minute walking distance. The beach is great, lots of palapas, no need to run at 6am to get the sunshade. You can come at 9-9:30 and still find the spot. Our only advice to the management is to add 10-15 sunbeds. People who came by 10-10:30 had to lie on the beach towels directly on the sand which is really inconvenient for someone with mobility issues. The service was excellent, especially the reception team: very helpful and friendly. When for some reasons we couldn't get the room in the bungalow that we booked, Yamaris, the reception clerk, accommodated us in a wonderful room with a gorgeous sea view, and we also got some perks like free massages, safe, and late check-out. The food was mediocre and of little variety, but we were never hungry; coffee wasn't good as well. Anyway, you come to Cuba to enjoy the beach, the ocean, and the sun, and these were great. Some advice to our fellow travellers : bring tips in USD or CAD bills, do not give the staff Canadian coins. Also, due to the shortage of many things it is a good idea to bring some gifts for the staff, like clothing items, especially for kids. We definitely consider coming back to the Tainos.

Please note this is not sanctuary, on trip.com you think you are booking sanctuary, but it is the normal grand memories. Other than that it's nice, nice staff and the food was pretty good. Would recommend just pay attention to the name, this is wrong at trip.com, you book the normal grand memories.

It was very pleasant! The team was always going above and beyond to provide us with a personalized stay. Mary , the housekeeper was amazing and always set up cute shaped towels to entertain my little nephew. Mercy , from Public Relations coordinated a welcome gift to celebrate my birthday. The entire team was amazing always smiling and happy to assist. Food varied and the chicken always delicious 😉 my fav. Thank you for making us feel as family. Despite the weather it was a pleasure staying at the facilities. Walking the beach on the afternoon is to died for. Great views from the 7th floor balcony. The Maitre and all the attendees at this Hotel which changed name now to Playa Caleta were amazing! Great customer service

Good resort, clean and modern. Theres restaurants, bars, small shops, pools and its on the beach. The rooms are modern, clean and big. A bus is available for free to go to Varadero city on a daily basis, multiple times. The people are approachable and helpful, very lovely people. The food is diverse, meat and veggies. Tasty vegetables and fruits.

Great hotel! Booked a sea view room, room 4309, the beach faces the golf course. The room was ok, nothing special, but very comfortable, clean, with balcony terrace. My stay was in early November 2021, when the country of Cuba was just starting to reopen for tourism. There are not many tourists, but there are already many tourists, especially from Russia and Canada. Check-in was fairly quick, check-out was quick too, not being asked to wait. I really like the beach in the hotel yard, the beach is clean, well maintained and the sand is beautiful. The facilities for sunbathing are also good. Also, I love the swimming pool, it's not huge but in good condition, great for swimming or relaxing. Now, about the food: I would rate it a 9 out of 10 for a hotel in Cuba and a 7.5 for international. I was amazed by the all you can eat service, very complete and delicious, very special for the Cuban situation. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I only stayed one night. I hope, I will be back here again soon. Greetings from Indonesian citizens who immigrated to eastern Cuba. Incredible hotel! Reservé una hahahación con vista al mar y obtuve la hahabitación 4309 con vista a la playa frente al campo de Golf. Lahabacion están bien, special tones, pero muy cómodo, limpia y tiene balcón terraza. El tiempo que estuve, a principios de noviembre de 2021, cuando el Cuba apenas comenzaba a reabrir el turismo. El número de turistas no es demasiado, pero ya hay muchos turistas, especialmente de Russia y Canada. El proceso de registro es bastante rápido y el proceso de salida es muy rápido, sin necesidad de esperar. Me gusta mucho la playa a la que se puede acceder directamente desde el patio del hotel, la playa está limpia y bien cuidada, hermosa arena blanca. Las instalaciones para tomar el sol tambien son muy buenas. Además, disfruté de la piscina, que no es muy grande pero está en buenas condiciones y es agradable para nadar o simplemente para relajarme. Sobre la comida: para un hotel en Cuba, lo califico con un 9 sobre 10 y para la clase internacional le doy un 7.5. Me sorprendió el servicio de todo lo que puedas comer, que fue bastante completo y delicioso, muy especial para las condiciones cubanas. Los empleados son muy amables y están felices de ayudar. Desafortunadamente me quedé solo 1 noche. Espero volver pronto para quedarme aquí. Saludos de ciudadanos indonesios que trabajar al este de Cuba.

A very perfect hotel, facing the Caribbean coast, with Spanish food that is continuously served throughout the day, warm and professional hotel services, and every person presents excellent service quality

No spaces with air conditioning for relaxing at the bar. The only space with air conditioning is at the main restaurant. At the beach you don’t have a close bar. Hard to have a cold drink at the beach. The plastic glasses at the beach are to small to take any drink at the beach. The food at the restaurant is good and varied. The beach and the water are amazing!
