I can't say much bad about this resort except, getting taking by one of the girls in the entertainment staff. Sold me a salsa CD for 10 bucks. It never had 1 song on it. I was really pissed about that. So watch out for sob stories and scam artists. Otherwise our room was very clean everyday, the food we... More

I went with 26 of my friends for a grad trip. I love Cuba and always had a good time until I went to this resort. I'm not a picky person or looking for luxury. I just wanted a clean, well functioning resort. All I got was a big safety/health hazard. The only good thing was the beach. The club... More

Having traveled extensively for the last 25yrs of my life I would have to say this was a major disappointment. On the positive side I would say the beach is nice but its comparable to hundreds of other beaches around the world with more to offer. The country was very clean compared to most other 3rd world countries but those... More

The staff were are really wonderful to us the entire stay - remember when reading some of these reviews that you get what you... More

Hola Amigos, in December 2011 we went to Cuba for 2 weeks and we stayed at Arenas Doradas in Varadero. after reading the reviews on this website it was very confusing because the rating went from 1 Star (Terrible) to 5 Stars (Excellent) and everything in between. as my favorite quote goes, "There are no unrealistic goals only unrealistic expectations"...

Jan 20th til the 27th. I must start by saying that we were really nervous after reading all the reviews of this place, mostly poor reviews. Like our trip to Varadero last year though, I wonder who is writing all these reviews. There must be a lot of silver spoon fed whiners going to Cuba this past year or so... More

We were there from Jan 16-30, 2012. Our overall experience was favorable and the people were very nice and helpful. The grounds were well kept but some of the units and lobby area could use some paint. The rooms had toilet seats but the public washrooms didn't and a few times there was not toilet paper. We heard that the... More
