“A decent place for a low budget vacation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

We last minute booked a trip to this resort, we paid $1400 as a couple, so the price was the deciding factor. Given that it was such a good price I was not expecting 5 star quality. Overall, it was a decent resort if you have low expectations. The food was very good for Cuban standards. We found the 24 hour bar a good place to relax, have a few drinks and something to eat. The Italian restaurant was also a good choice. The beach was very beautiful and had plenty of chairs to avail of. We did have one major issue, my travel agent suggested that we pay a little extra and reserve a room in the main building as the south section is in need of renovations and is much further from the beach. When we arrived we were given a room in the south section, I informed the lady at the front desk of the mistake and she told me they were full and couldn't do anything to accomodate us even though we had paid extra. When we finally arrived at our room which was right at the fence by the main road, we were less than impressed. The room was very old and dated, there were little ants everywhere, and the door to our room barely closed and locked. The next morning we met with our sunwing representative and we expressed our concerns with the room especially when we had paid for a different section. He was very helpful and in the end we were upgraded to the suite at no additional cost due to the fact that they were unable to provide us with the room type we paid for. This room was excellent and exceeded our expectations, so a negative was turned into a positive. However, we did not like the night life of the resort. There was very poor lighting on the grounds, it was very dark and somewhat errie at night. We opted to mainly stay in our room and just went to the lobby bar for drinks. it was a very large resort with lots of day time options . The poolside activities during the day were entertaining. We didn't spend alot of time on the resort itself as we did excursions just about every day. I would highly recommend if going to Havana that you do the Tropicana show. It was by far the highlight of the trip for us. For us, the resort was a place to relax and sleep in between excursions and for those purposes, it was perfect. If you are planning to mainly stay on the resort for the duration of your vacation, then I would recommend paying the extra and going to a different place. It was not my first time in Varadero and it was not the nicest resort out of all the places I've stayed. For the price and what we needed, it was fine but its not a place I would choose to stay at again.

Room Tip: Pay extra for a corner suite in the main building, the suite was beautiful and was what made our sta...

“Another wonderful Stay at Brisas del Caribe!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Just returned ( Jan 23-Feb 6) from our 5th trip to Brisas del Caribe and as always had a wonderful vacation. Already anticipating next January when we plan to return.

The beach of course is fantastic, the grounds beautiful and well kept, food is good and plentiful and have noticed improvements to resort the past two years. The main building could use some work though. We stay in south section and although it's further from beach we find it quieter and rooms nicer. Besides after eating so much the extra walk does us good.

The main reason we continue to return to Brisas is the staff!!From the moment we arrived to the moment we left resort we were treated wonderfully.Front Desk girls were friendly and efficient. Our maid (Room 570) kept our room spotless!! The staff at 24 hour bar, buffet and Beach Bar and Grill, Wine booth.....simply fantastic!!! Lobby Bar staff excellent also although we didn't spend much time there. Would love to name staff who we are especially fond of but afraid I'd leave someone out. So many great people working at Brisas and every time we return and experience those smiling faces, hugs and kisses..it feels like coming home!

“2nd Visit”

We visited last year with our sons and had a fabulous time, so much fun we decided to visit again. This resort definately gives you the best bang for your buck. Very clean, does need updating but like already said "Who goes on holiday to stay in your room." Food this year was way more tasty than last year. Water was rough due to weather but water was still a blast to play in. Staff is so friendly there. Marcelino a waiter that we befriended last year recognized us right when we walked in this year. He took such great care of us always insuring we had everything we needed and more. All of the staff were amazing. Lots of good changes made in the year, new wine bar, kids club, great outside entertainment every night just to mention a few. I would highly reccomend this resort to anyone. Jan. 2012 J/M Young

Room Tip: South side we think would be quieter, some of the room air conditioners are old and a little musty s...

We have visited the brisas two times.Once in Feb,11 and again in Feb,2012.Both times have been wonderful and we feel like we were at home here.The staff is wonderfully nice and they are alwayseager to please.The beach is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen and could have spend all of my time there.The rooms are clean and comfortable.We have a few problems with our shower,ect but the staff was in our room right away to fix them.The staff is so accomodating,all you need to do is ask.There are many who go out of their way just to get a smile.The food is very good and there is plenty of it.The fish,prawns,crepes and spaghettis are my favorites.The resost is very easy to navigate.Everything is within a 5 minute walk.We stayed ata another hotelit was so big that we spent half an hour of our time walking across the property.I would rather be at the beach.Overal,this place is fun,friendly and entertaining.I will be back!

My husband and I have been guests at Brisas Del Caribe at least 8 times. The grounds are beautifil and of course, there is a great beach. The staff are so friendly. especially Douglas , Raoul , the bellhops and Natalie, the waitress. The shows at night are wonderful, excellent dancers and very professional. We were guests in December, 2011 and then we returned in January, 2012. We plan to go back next winter.

Room Tip: Stay in the south end by the swimming pool
