amazing place , water is so blue

lovely meals for 2 weeks

rooms clean

staff amazing :)

Just returned from a 2 week holiday , stayling at the Blau varadero, we travelled with friends on our recommendation and they weren't disappointed. First of all the weather was fantastic, we had one cloudy day out of fourteen , but it was still over 80 degrees every day.
The Hotel was cleaned to a very haigh standard , the maids especially work so hard, providing us wih lovely towel art every day.
The food was ok , gets a little repetative after 2 weeks ,but i can honestly say there's something for everyone. There are 2 restaurants apart from the buffet one , that you have to book separatley for and are definatley well worth a visit , especially Palma Real(that is the better of the two).
We went to Cayo Blanco on a catamaran, an absolute must of a trip , an ieal way to spend a day. We also went swimming with Dolphins , & Snorkelling well worth the money.

I would definatley recommend this hotel , and when i go back to Cuba I will be staying there again.

We just returned from our second trip to this wonderful hotel. The Staff were wonderful as usual and the food was amazing as well. I really dont understand some of the review which complain about the food. There is so much variety and everything tastes great. A good example of this is breakfast, you have at least five choices on eggs alone (scrambled, fried, omelette, hard boiled, poached) and this is just the eggs! There is much to choose from. Cold Cuts, cereals, yogurt,many different types of bread and pastries, not to mention the fresh fruits. I also dont understand the comments about being short changed at the reception when you change your money, We have never been short changed in the two times we have been there. Perhaps people dont understand how the exchange rates work. While at the Blau my daughter celebrated her 16th birthday, I cannot tell you how special everybody made it for her, everybody was so nice it was just incredible. During our stay our daughter had lost her purse. (she had money, ipod, and expensive headphones in her bag) We went to the Customer service desk and asked for help. Not only was her bag returned to her but everything was still in there right down to the last penny, so when I read reviews that the maids steal or people get short changed, it's really hurtful. All in all, let me just say that we love the Blau, the staff, the food, the location, the rooms,.......everything. We will be back. We have nothing but good things to say. We also want to say a BIG thank you to everybody especially, Isa and Roberto for the returning guest dinner which was just amazing. We miss it already.

I was more than impressed with Blau - Great hotel, friendly staff and right on the golden sandy beach, Wow! Food was fine and the international restaurant was superb. Something for everyone and drinks service was excellent. If heading into Varadero town, save yourself some pesos and get the funky little train that runs every hour.
