We just recently returned from Memories Varadero and stayed from 9 to 16 May. We decided to pay for the Diamond Club package, as we felt it would provide some extra memories for our vacation. On arrival we were checked in by Ailyn from the Concierge, who was very helpful in getting the a la carte restaurants booked for us.... More

I don't know what all these negative reviews are about. We came kind of nervous and not knowing what to expect, but now we know we can chalk those bad reviews all up to picky and unreasonable people. This resort was lovely, but you have to know what to expect. You're not staying at The Hyatt in North America. You're... More

This was my second time in Cuba and my first time at this resort. I have to say that most of the complaints about this resort are true, however it is Cuba and should be expected. Varadero is a party place and is known for its night life. Many of us young people go because of that and of course... More
