“Your trip is what you make it!”

I was at Breezes Varadero the end of January with my husband and 8 friends. We all had a fantastic time. The staff were amazing, friendly and always smiling. The beach vendors were the most polite of anywhere we've travelled. Just say no thank you and they tell you to have a nice day. The beach was perfect. I rarely saw anyone in the pool because the beach was so nice so if you prefer poolside, you can have it all to yourself! Because it's a smaller, quaint resort, there are no lineups and beach chairs are plentiful. Some of the people in our group complained that the food choices could have been better but no one was sick. I didn't have to cook for a week so I wasn't about to complain! I did prefer the a la carte restaurants to the buffet. TIP - If a guy named Jesus approaches you on the beach to come to his restaurant for dinner (Jesus's restaurant), arrange it! For 20 pesos a person, he picked us up, served us a wonderful dinner at his home/restaurant in Varadero and drove us home. He and his wife LiLi were incredible hosts. There were 2 huge lobster tails on the plate for that price, rice and fresh vegetables and the best meal we enjoyed all week! Our group did both the Catamaran tour and the Jeep Safari and loved both! I would not hesitate to reccommend Breezes Varadero.

“Wonderful People...Great Time”

We travelled with a 2 other couples, and found this resort to be excellent. The rooms were very spacious as is the resort itself. Can't say enough about the staff everyone was great. An extra shout out to Eduardo , thanks for everything you and the rest of the staff are most gracious and helpful. Sun , sand , drinks and fun day and night. The guys love the golf. Dinner at the Cuban al a carte was especially good, Spanish and Breezes signature coffee were fantastic. Great time had by all...we will most certainly be returning. Loved it Dinner at the Dupont House was excellent a must do when in Varadero.. Your Canadian friends Heather Kevin Marianne Archie, Dave and Debbie !!!!!!!1

“4th time to cuba best resort yet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

people found this review helpful

As a 21 year old travelling with my family for the 4th annual trip to cuba i found breezes varadero to be a fun, lively resort that is close to town and the golf course. I went the last week of october and would go back again. The weather was good and the beach is excellent. I found this resort to have the nicest atmosphere of people and everyone was so nice, guests and workers included. The general manager Cleveland was very customer service oriented and was the nicest, most helpful manager at any resort ive been to and helped me on several occasions to make my stay the best it can be!. He is always looking for ways to improve the resort and your stay there and is always around for a good chat about anything you would like to know. As a resort near a golf course i knew there would be alot of older clients but i found a solid group of around 10 people who were always ready to party and hit the disco. The catamaran, dolphin interaction, lobster lunch, and all day open bar is the best day trip ive ever done in cuba....not to mention snorkeling is included-we went to a sunken ship because the water was rough in the usual place. I would definatly recommend this resort to young and older people as this resort had many people returning to it---especially 2 roudy brothers in their 40's who are hilarious and always a fun group to have a few drinks with.. the kareokee bar was a highlight also as everyone has a great time- singing u gotta fight for ur right to parrrtty!

Room Tip: get a junior suite

“Breezes Varadero”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Stayed at Breezes Varadero with friends on a golf week. My second time there. First trip was just ok but nothing to write home about. Beach was nice and the golf course great. Service this time however was very poor and the food and wine were horrid. The service has dropped substantially. If you dont tip, your ignored. The place is under much needed repair and thats good to see. Ate at Martinos and the decore is beautiful but the food I just couldnt eat. The shrimp cocktails were grainy and some people we were with, myself included got ill during the week, We are pretty sure it was the food. The rest of the meal was awful. All I can say is I did witness the staff being tuned up one morning because of all the complains and the service was a little better but no where near what one would expect at other hotels.If you dont tip them, they dont know you. The friends we had gone with and the ones we met saved the vacation, but other than that it sucked. Mexico surpasses Cuba with ease for food and service. The entertainment however is great. Loved the dancers. Very talented. BUT this is the first time Ive seen employees getting tourists to sneak drinks to them .Very unprofessional. Will I go back. , MAYBE , But only if I cant afford a good place and only for the golf and a cheapy getaway. Other than that, I would not recommend this place. There lucky to get a 3 star. Ide say its a 2 at best.

Room Tip: Be careful what and where you eat. Martinos is not good. Its all show and no go. Try the restaraunts...

Dear Valued Guest,
Thank you for posting your comments on Trip Advisor and regret that your vacation experience was less than expected.
In our continued program of improvement, the hotel organizes refresher courses in Customer Service and corrective action is necessary when we fall short of these goals.
The hotel in its 20 plus years of existence has never had a swim up bar and there are no plans for one in the immediate future, we do have however several bars that operate with the following schedule:
Lobby Bar 24 hours
Pool Bar 07h00 - 10h00 Coffee, Tea and Juice Service 10h00 - 01h00 Full Service
Bar Duna 11h00 - 23h00 Full Service
Beach Bar 10h00 - 23h00 Full Service
Coffee Bar 11h00 - 23h00
Martino's Bar 18h00 - 22h00 Full Service
Discotheque 22h30 - 02:00 Full service
Kind regards,

We recently stayed at Breezes...From check in to check out everything was perfect. The resort is beautiful, the staff was fantastic, We didn't have one complaint. From Elisabeth(guest relations mgr) to Eduardo, to Cleveland the GM. great people. Trip to Havana with the best tour guide Jose, and the greatest driver Omar. Loved the coffee bar..Cafe Boom Boom anyone?. Sylvia our NoliTours rep, was just as sweet. Swimming with the dolphins..Priceless. The beach, was a WOW...We will return next year for sure.
