This is essentially, a superb hotel. It is very well managed, and the staff are efficient and friendly. However, we requested a move to another hotel, because the main pool was closed for several weeks, and other parts of the hotel were being renovated. The pool closure represents a problem for guests arriving with small children. A smaller deep pool,... more

Place was fantastic! We ended up in this resort for our honeymoon after our original plans of going to Thailand were cancelled due to the riots last year. Staff were amazing so friendly and we met loads of people who returned to the hotel each year. The buffet restaurant was been constantly filled with fresh food! We didnt need to... more

As a whole a truly enjoyable time had by all in our party - the Cuban people are mostly a joy to know although I began to detect an element of cynicism with regard to tips from a small minority of the staff. I will always tip good service but when individuals begin to outright ask for tips or idly... more

I'll make this short and sweet: The Good: - food at the a la carte restaurants was incredible - you have to eat all your dinners there and not the buffet (not that the buffet was bad or anything). - beautiful property and fantastic pool - friendly staff - comfortable and spacious rooms (with working a/c) - nice beach -... more

This time of the year is full of mosquitos. This is terrible for the kids, the elderly and allergic people. The mosquitos were there even before the thunderstorms described by another review, they hide in the buffet area and the worst time is after 6:30 pm. I believe the mosquito problem exists in all Varadero but this hotel has a... more

We have just returned from Paradisus and loved it. We arrived at the hotel the day after a storm. This meant there were mosquitos everywhere. This is a problem common in Varadero, not only in this hotel. It has something to do with the weather they are having there. So make sure you take loads of mosquito repellent! What I... more

I stayed in the Paridisus Varadero in September 2008 for 10 days. There were a number of highlights for me- firstly the beach- oh my God what a beautiful beach that seemed to go on forever. Secondly the food and wine- in particular the steaks- again oh my God- they were mouth watering and to say the wine was free... more

We stayed at this hotel for 10 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. The beach and grounds of the hotel were very well maintained and spacious.The beach was in fact the best beach we have ever been to anywhere. Unlike with other hotels one didnt need to go on a dawn raid with towel in hand to secure a comfortable space... more

My wife and I were booked for a destination wedding in Mexico, but had to rebook last minute due to swine flu. We selected the Paradisus in Cuba, but with only 3 weeks before the trip we were worried that we wouldn't be able to get all our wedding plans sorted out. Our wedding co-ordinator Driatne assured us that we... more
