I just came back from a one week vacation at the Barlovento hotel. On an earlier forum, I was debating between Playa Caleta and Barlovento (both 3.5)...since I had been to the Playa Caleta before. There are advantages and disadvantages on both.. What I liked most for Barlovento was the location and the staff. Rooms are clean but ordinary. Nice... More

This hotel was definately decent for the money if you are not a stuck up snob. you have to remember it is cuba. They do not have all the amenities we have. They occasionally ran out of beer. but never out of rum. Food was definately repetitive, but fresh omlettes in the morning with a side of ramon in the... More

We just returned home from a 12 day stay at Barlovento. I didn't hate this resort by the time I left but I knew I would not be returning. I find this site to be tricky when to comes to deciding on which hotel would be a good one to choose in Cuba. Pretty much every resort has all the... More

My sister and I stayed for 2 weeks. We loved the location. Close to downtown Varadero, restaurants, and activities. Because it was a school holiday we enjoyed watching the young people during their week off, fishing, jumping off the bridge and hanging out at the beach. The hotel was very clean and is smaller so there is no problem walking... More

Good value for money. Location in good - first off the bus, and last on in terms of airport transfers. Hotel is small enough that you can walk anywhere in 5 minutes. Food is decent/average. Beach bar is great. Music on the beach in the mornings. Beach itself - the best!!!! If you get a good deal, just enjoy it. More

Stayed here in 2009. We were a bit apprehensive as when the bus from the airport pulled up to the Barlovento .. we were the only ones departing. The Hotel did try to give us a room in the back, that was dungeey and flooded but we stood our ground and demanded a better room. even though it was full... More

A bit late writing this review but here it is none the less: Stayed April 1st to the 7th I don't know why people are complaining about the front desk service because I found them to be helpful and they met my needs.....Mind you when i went to check in i went with a smile and started joking around with...

So, we arrived to Barlovento Hoteles C and my first impression was meh... we came to the reception and they told us to pay for the safe. PAY FOR THE SAFE! I travelled 10 times to Cuba and it is the first time for me that it ever happened. But we didnt have any pesos so we asked where we... More
