We spent 4 days at this hotel and it was a completely nightmare. we supposed to stay at Varadero International for two weeks but it was impossible due to many issues that t we experienced with the extremely poor level of service. Luckily our travel consultant managed to transfer us in a much better hotel. This hotel is rated with... More

After reviewing what the other Veradera hotels had to offer we decided to return to the Internacional. It is older, it is still in need of repairs BUT the excellent beach location and the friendly atmosphere makes up for it 100%. When we travel we are looking for a great beach, a safe country, clean beds and a friendly staff.... More

I stayed here last week as part of my package booked through The Holiday Place. This hotel is no where near a 4 star hotel, i'd say its 1.5 star. As you enter the big drive into the hotel..you think you've been transported to a hotel in Miami but as soon as you get to your room...brace yourself..for you don't... More

this hotel booked via by internet was good value for money. The rooms, ensuite facilities with breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding area of varadero. having stayed in varadero before, this hotel gave exceptional value re all inclusive meals and drinks, the entertainment and above all a private section of a pristene beach for residents only. The views breathtaking,... More

Falling apart, moldy, old, bad A/C that pumps in sickness. We are sure the HVAC gave us a lung infection. I think the owners are waiting for it to get condemed and then they are knocking it down. There was no toilet paper and soap in the lobby bathrooms the whole time even after I said something. The food was... More

And its not 1976 either - a disaster destination - but if you want to be reminded how bad a hotel can be with a food offer and enjoy strange dilapidation the International is for you! The Cuban government owned hotel - built by the Mafia in the 40's is either going to be demolished and moved back away from... More

This hotel absolutely mortified me. The first night I sat in the chair and cried. The rest of the trip I slept on my winter jacket. This hotel is filled with black mold and we became very sick after only a few days. The food was the most revolting things I have ever seen too. Overall this hotel is very... More

My first trip to Cuba was with my 16 year old daughter to celebrate my 50th birthday. I chose the International becasue most of the reviews looked fine and if I went to Cuba I wanted something interesting and atmospheric. For my personal preferences, this hotel met and even exceeded my expectations. For example, the bed was not as comfortable... More
