My husband and I stayed at the Barlovento over new years and had a great time. The rooms were nothing fancy, but comfortable and had everything you needed (minus a hairdryer in ours, but I guess other rooms had them). Our safe in our room stopped working a few times, but they were quick to get it fixed. We found... More

This hotel offers good buffet food, a nice a la carte menu with a friendly smile. The beach is just a stroll though the property and was excellent. Nice sand and clear water. I was very impressed. The guys at the coffee corner make the best coffee I have ever tasted. Ida who works at the bar beside the open... More

Our first holiday in Cuba. Lovely people - very friendly, unlike some parts of the Caribbean that can feel threatening at times.The hotel was fine and the location can't be beat.It is close to town (what there is of it ),many flea markets and reasonably priced eating places within five minutes walk, fabulous beach. From what I could see, if... More

We survived our first 2 days here quite well, the food was OK, the pool area clean and grounds, and the dance group was better than the Tropicana in Havana for dancing, not so showy but great dancers. We thought we had chosen well for a couple of cheap nights to get used to the heat. But during the day,... More

Two well-travelled middle aged couples from the prairies stayed here in January. We found the service excellent, and the food very good. The wonderful beach begins on the edge of the property. Although our beds were definitely not $1000.00 mattresses, the rooms were more than adequate. The entertainment was good, especially the terrific dance troupe. We would recommend this hotel... More

Stayed here when we got bumped from another resort last minute. It was not our choice but we made the best of it. 11 of us total went. Some of us had oceanview rooms book at other resort and paid more but since there were no oceanview rooms here we did not get one and did not get compensation. Not... More

We visited this hotel in Jan 2010. It's a bit long time ago but I felt I really had to post this review. The only two good things about this hotel: it's in Varadero, which means it has beautiful beaches with natural shade (palm trees) and it's a short walk to the town. Our room smelled like smoke. Badly. We... More

Myself and two friends stayed for a week in March. This review is a bit delayed but I'm sure not much has changed. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was basic and clean (which I think is most important). The food was typical Varadero food. Survival mode "on". Wasn't anything to talk or think about... More
