This was our first trip to Cuba and would recommend it to anyone. Varadero was beautiful,the weather is great,always a breeze and the people are very friendly. You feel very safe there. The resort was on a very nice sandy beach,lots of palapas for shade,lots of reclining loungers available...no need to rush and reserve a chair in the mornings like... More

Very big hotel but not a really 5 star hotel, Sea -->- I will not prefer to go that hotel for swimming. Open ocean waves did not allow us to swim.. You can only jump in the sea. :=) Rooms were big and well decorated, but cold water was not running in our bathroom. Main restaurant good but was very... More

Husband, school-age son and myself stayed here for week in mid-January. We’ve been to a few other all inclusives in Mexico (east coast) and Dominican Republic but this was our first visit to Cuba. Cuba is certainly not as advanced technologically (internet costs $ and is sllloooowwww) or in customer service but all in all, we had a very pleasant... More

Great value for money! Wonderful beach, friendly staff, great food and drinks - every spot clean. Rooms nice. Doctors office at the hotel, worked out very well by the way. Great entertainment and activities. Supermarket next door. Short trip to Varadero City. No guests under 18 (great). What more can you ask for? Based on Cubas short history of tourism... More

We recently stayed a week at this hotel and were very happy with the choice. We saw other hotels while in the area but none came close .. not to say there are others which are not equally as good. This hotel had 6 different restaurants, three of which were very good the others ordinary. That I think is a... More

Just returned from Melia Varadero with my wife and 2 teenage daughters. We enjoyed the newly renovated hotel rooms with fantastic ocean views. Service was fantastic and really enjoyed new outdoor Mexican restaurant. Like to thank Vladimir, who is the sales manager, for his special attention. Will definately return agin next winter. More

This was our first and last time going to Cuba. Yes the beaches, weather and people are wonderful, but our experience at the Melia was so unpleasant that we were ready to go home after only 3 days. The food was SO TERRIBLE, and for 2 weeks they served the same food EVERY DAY AND NIGHT! The booze tasted watered... More

This is a pretty nice resort. Good services, lots of choices for restaurants and bars, and not a huge resort where you have to take a shuttle from your room to the beach or pool area. Everything is compact and quick to get to. The staff were very friendly, the beach was wonderful, lots of live music and lots to... More

Just got back from staying at the Melia Varadero and loved it! I liked the fact it was a smaller more contained hotel that had every amenity you needed. Service was excellent and the food was great. The buffet has something for everyone and the ala carts were very good as well. Definitely would recommend this hotel to others and... More
