Melia Las Americas

We love this resort and keep coming back for the excellent service and facilities. We love the beach, golf and adult only atmosphere. The service at this resort is fantastic. We stay in the level area with spacious rooms, added amenities like their own pool, beachside dining at the Limoncello exclusive for breakfast and lunch. Private pool and upgraded beach services. The entertainment and all pools are great. The beach is sheltered and calm. We have travelled extensively and keep coming back to Las Americas, nothing compares. [Details]

We had a great time at the resort. Everything we could have asked for we got just that. [Details]

We were there for two weeks in February. The hotel is great with a couple of pools and excellent friendly staff. We were in a Level Bungalow. Very spacious and clean, close to a pool and the beach, which is fantastic. The food at the hotel is diverse something for everyone at the buffet. The four different theme restaurants that require a reservation for dinner provide a "great evening out." The weather wasn't great, but the friendly staff made up for that. If you are a golfer, it's the only hotel in Cuba with access to a golf course. Overall just a great place. [Details]

I was super impressed by the beauty of this hotel. The view from the main lobby to the beach is a 14/10!! The resort was set up to meet with other travelers with many areas to have a quiet conversation. The beach, the deck, the pool, restaurants, the main lobby, the bars and walks along the beach. The staff are pleasant and hard working. Omelet and meat grill had fantastic workers. Next year I may stay for 2 weeks. There were no shortages of beer, wine, eggs, meat, water and other items but I heard that was the case at other resorts close by. [Details]

I have been coming to Cuba for many years and specifically to Melia Las Americas. It was the best hotel in Cuba then, and STILL IS.
We just returned from a 2 week vacation and upgraded to the “LEVEL” (a bungalow with exclusive benefits).
While the temperatures in Alberta were -43C, we were basking in the sun and surf.
Melia Las Americas also has one of the nicest beaches along the coastline, is shark free and most importantly to us, ADULTS only! 
For those golfers out there, it is the only hotel that offers direct access to Varadero Golf Club.
A group of 8 guys from Vancouver were in heaven LOL.
We did a couple of excursions as Cuba is one of the safest places to visit and Melia Las Americas has always been our first choice. [Details]

Lovely resort beside the golf course! Have it all! Golf in the mornings, ocean in the afternoon. The staff go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. No lack of food, alcohol etc. [Details]

My second stay at beautiful Melia Las Americas.
(First one 15 yrs ago) - totally enjoyed the peaceful
surroundings and the friendly Cuban atmosphere.
Will return with a group of friends in February. [Details]

I have just completed my 4th stay at this amazing resort. From the time I arrived until my departure, the service has been top-notch. The staff is the main reason why I return. I usually stay in the hotel in a ''prime ocean view'' room for, of course, the view and the quality of the accommodation. There are other options in the '' Level '' category. The grounds are well manicured and beautiful. The cleaning staff is hardworking to keep this place spotless. I haven't found a single area that was not clean.

The food and drinks. Fresh and tasty. There is a lot to choose from. A buffet for breakfast, lunch and diner. Also, the resort has four à la carte restaurants available upon making a reservation. There are additional options for guests who are in the "Level" category.

The staff is attentive and dedicated to service excellence. I have only Kudos for all of them. A good variety of daytime activities are conducted at the main pool and the beach area. Evening entertainment is varied and conducted at the main terrace.

I love this adults-only resort for its superior quality and awesome staff. They all get ''five-stars'' from me. Thank you for making my vacation a success one more time! [Details]

This was our 3rd visit to this amazing paradise ! The staff truly went above and beyond every single day to make us feel like family every time that we saw them ! We would like to say an extra thank you to:
Amex,Manuel, Eliades and Pedro who served us drinks and food on the outdoor patio every day with huge smiles. We were sad to say “until next time” when we had to leave for home. You were so kind to us.
More big thank yous to Meivy, Yeramis, Jose, Aurora & Pedro who took such good care of us at the buffet at lunch and breakfast. Thank you to Criolla, with his big, friendly smile and fantastic eggs at the morning buffet. Thank you to Adrien at the lunch grill with his special sauce and excellent cooking techniques.
Thank you to Julio for being our own waiter during our extra special anniversary dinner outside. Your kindness and smile warmed our hearts.
Thank you to Karina and Ivon for going above and beyond to ensure that our wedding anniversary was even more special than we could imagine !
Thank you to Melany at the International restaurant who made our special meal even better !
You are all SO very appreciated and truly wonderful people.
All of the food during our visit was plentiful and delicious. Anything that we could think of was available. The tropical drinks and coffee were great. The room was beautiful and the bed super comfortable. The beach was absolutely stunning, and the sailing was amazing. The hotel lobby, with it's view of the ocean still took my breath away every day !
The singers, dancers and musicians at lunch and in the evenings were absolutely INCREDIBLE! We were VERY impressed with their talents !!
We came home feeling like we'd been treated like royalty. Thank you to the wonderful people working at Melia Las Americas. You made our stay AMAZING!!!!!! [Details]

Overall, i would rate this resort a 4.5 out of 5. You cant get enough of that spectacular view. The resort is beautiful and very well maintained. The beach is gorgeous and very walkable . The beach bar was central to the beach and the main pool. Drink selections were very poor.. The staff at the beach bar and lobby bar are very friendly. Pool absolutely amazing. The food at the buffet although repetitive, you can change it up everyday with many options. Buffet staff work hard and are very accommodating. This resort had the cleanest washrooms i've ever seen. . Entertainment was good but not over the top. Not a fan of all the stairs in the outside area , but won't stop me from returning. We were a group of 6 [Details]

This is a hotel that we try to go to every year, we have been to 3 other ones prior to this hotel and enjoy this one by far.
We've been coming to this hotel for the last 15 years because of the people that work here are family to us and treat you very good. We also like that it's adult only. [Details]

I usually go to Melia Las Americas once or twice a year to play golf, relax & enjoy the beautiful beach and people.Never been disappointed. [Details]

Excellent in just about all respects [Details]

I enjoyed my stay very much! The staff was friendly, the variety of restaurants was great, My favorite restaurants were the Japanese and Italian, the buffet was great as well I used it for breakfast. There was a lack of condiments but that didn't bother me however I would bring pepper next time and Bailys for your coffee. I found the beds fairly comfortable I'd rate them 7 out of 10. I highly suggest bringing your own hairdryer if you use one as the hairdryers there are stuck on the wall and the cord is short, didn't like that but I managed, very minor. However the plug one morning wouldn't stay in the socket and my front door batteries went dead and I couldn't get in to my suite however the repairman came and fixed that quite promptly. I am a gin drinker and I had to upgrade my room to get gin, which I did found annoying but that suite had 2 floors 2 balcony's with a later 2pm checkout (which I was thankful for as I golfed the morning I was leaving) it was 350 USD for 6 nights. The resort has free golf but you do have to pay for the cart which is 44 CAD and I rented golf clubs which were 33 CAD (I loved the Golf club which are Taylormade) the course is awesome too!! The beach was incredibly beautiful as is the whole resort. I would definitely go back and plan on it. The WI_FI connection was sketching and iPhones struggle there I have a Samsung and it was ok mostly. The process of going home in the airport was a 1 out of 10 I stood inline 3 straight hours, the first lineup was to get you boarding pass, the next lineup was for passport and that Visa (save that Visa you need it to come home) the next lineup was on the tarmac to board, it took all of the time to the minute to go home after you are dropped off at the airport, absolutely horrible. I suggest pay for priority status for the plane you board first then they start with the back of the plane seats and up to the front. I also suggest taking a taxi yourself to get there earlier to get through faster. It really was horrible standing in the heat and humidity for 3 hours solid! [Details]

We did a family vacation to this resort for the first time. There were six of us and we booked 3 rooms. We haven't been to Cuba in several years as we had been disappointed with the resorts and food in the past but decided to try it again AND very happy we did. This resort did not disappoint!
It's a smaller resort than any we've been to but that was a definite plus. The food was great, the beach amazing and the overall atmosphere very relaxing and enjoyable.
Some of the rooms were a little dated but everything was clean and I'm working order. No complaints from any of our group.
I booked the beach romantic dinner for two and it was exceptional.
I would visit this resort again without hesitation. [Details]

My boyfriend and I traveled here in Feb 2023 to celebrate our anniversary. Melia Las Americas surprised us and exceeded our expectations! We had the "Level" upgrade and it was so worth it for the small extra price. We were greeted and checked in quickly and with ease. A bell boy was provided to bring our bags to the room and although at first, our key cards did not work he was quick to get them fixed and get us into our room. The rooms were IMMACULATE. We stayed in the Garden Level Suite and to our surprise had two floors! On the first floor was a bathroom, dining area, walkout patio, and kitchenette/fridge - which was replenished with coffee, teas, pops, beers, and water bottles daily. There are stairs that lead up to the next floor in which there is a full-size bathroom with shower, tub, bidet, toilet, and full vanity including hair dryer, iron, and ironing board. Towels were replenished daily with the option to ask for more if needed. We had a full king-sized bed, another living area upstairs, and a walkout balcony that overlooked the garden, golf course, and ocean. There is a full-size closet with drawers as well. The cleaning services were amazing and there is a do not disturb option if you wish to not have your room cleaned that day. The grounds of this resort are incredible. The main lobby is well spread out with lots of sitting areas and the view from the lobby steps down to the ocean is BREATHTAKING. The beach was stunning, with white sand, and blue water, and never a problem finding somewhere to sit even if you are not down early in the morning. The food - genuinely surprised us! The buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner included a variety of options. Although some of the produce is not the same as in Canada we never went hungry. Some of the options at breakfast included: an omelet station, fried egg station, bacon/sausages/hashbrowns, toast, cold cuts, cereal, yogurt, fruits, salads, sweet treats, pancakes/french toast and YES there are condiments - hot sauce, ketchup, dressings, etc. Lunch/dinner at the buffet varied from day to day but included various options including fries, pizza, sandwiches, rice, paella, lots of meat options, salads, fish, pasta bar, etc. The 24-hour snack bar is great as well with burgers, sandwiches, french fries, etc! They also make an incredible iced coffee or cappuccino! We visited Il Limoncello for dinner twice on our trip (the Italian Al-A Carte) and were so pleased with the food and service! On our first night, we were seated outside and were able to watch the sunset over the water. If you want to be seated outside the earlier reservations are best! My boyfriend and I had: bruschetta, pizza, carbonara pasta, meatballs, antipasto, and stuffed chicken. You can also order room service 24 hours from the snack bar for a meal when you wish! The pools are well kept and rarely packed or difficult to find a seat. The best part of our trip despite all the amazing amenities is the staff hands down. We would like to thank Elvis at the beach bar always tending to us (even without asking), and the wonderful buffet staff they made our experience so wonderful and always smiling!! We would like to add that the resort and the nearby Plaza (mall) do not accept CUP. They accept credit cards, and cash (USD, EURO, CAD). Some days the machines worked and other days it was down so we suggest bringing cash in your home currency and credit card. If you wish to change to CUP I would do so in small amounts and you may tip bartenders, staff, maids, etc in that currency. However, purchasing at the resort cannot be done using CUP. The GOLF COURSE is amazing. The views are beyond breathtaking and even if you are not an avid golfer it would be worth it to play a round at the course.

Overall, our experience at Melia Las Americas was 10/10 and we would absolutely come back! Thank you for making our anniversary trip one to remember. [Details]

My husband and I have been to this resort more than 14 times. We come here because of the wonderful staff, lovely accommodations and for my husband, the proximity to the Varadero Golf Course. Unfortunately, our recent trip was cut short because of an unforeseen flight delay. Our7 day holiday was only 5 days. I'm sure our next trip will be better. [Details]

This is my 10 th time in cuba and last . So much has changed for the worse .
No nightlife.....no booze
Rice and beans and cold cuts and tilapia fish every day .
Food shortages ..unhappy people . Whole vibe . Was so happy to come home . [Details]

Only one complaint there is no swim up pool bar
Everything else was great [Details]

Beautiful hotel with live entertainment and friendly staff.
I highly recommend purchasing a Level package it is definitely worth it for the private pool with swim up bar, delicious catered meals, and gorgeous rooms.
The Japanese restaurant was fantastic with food cooked right in front of you, and the Level restaurant was great for sit down breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
Bring a pocket full of $5 bills for tips (no change, it is unusable there) I brought US $1s as well but I wouldn't next time, they love their Canadians <3 [Details]

My experience was fantastic!! Such a gorgeous resort! The entertainers are so amazing! Adrian has the most infectious energy! You see him smile and you just want to be around him all the time! He does Yoga, Thai Chi, Aqua Gym, Beach Volleyball, games, dance lessons where you just cannot take your eyes off of him because his Cuban rhythm is so perfect! Need to learn basic Spanish? Adrian will teach you! There were so many positives about this resort but Adrian made this trip absolute perfection. [Details]

This resort has become my absolute favorite after traveling through the Caribean for the last 25 years. This time I was visiting with two of my friends and everyone was very happy with the reception, service, friendliness of the people working there and comfort in their hospitality.We also met some very lovely people there aside from the hosts. I sugested to my cousin to visit here also and he just come back on the 3rd of June having stayed there for 8 days. My friend and I have already made reservations for October 12 and are counting the days impatiently. Can't wait to see everyone again, Manuel (manager extraordinaire), Karenia (ultra room organizer), Elsie and Jorgi (entratainment specialists), and others just as nice and just as valluable. We'll be baaaaack...... The wonderful people of Cuba are doing a tremandous job considering the extremely unfair and inhumane, cruel embargos and restrictions constantly thrown at them by their neighbours the USA. They deserve our praise and love, from the heart. Hats off to Cuba!!! [Details]

We had an amazing experience once again at Melia las Americas . Things changed post Covid but we had food all the time and not so bad for choice .
Staff was amazing once more. Only thing is they need to have more animation at night . Location of this hotel is great. We stayed in the renovated room on the 4th floor.. just gorgeous with ocean view . We will definitely return . Could not ask for a better vacation [Details]

If you're looking for golf and beach this is the place to be. Golf course a short 3 min. Walk from your hotel. Hotel is directly on the beach. Food can be a little frustrating since it is not available all the time. Buffet hours are very limited and other offerings are sparse and service is unreliable. In fact, it takes a few days to learn to curate your meal but once you figure it out there's something that you can find to eat at every mealtime. Snacks are limited. In fact, experienced visitors at this hotel all brought their own snacks, hot sauce, steak spice and the occasional jar of peanut butter! [Details]

First time ever they did not carry tonic water at any bar, so holiday for my wife was totally spiled. [Details]

Great fun in the sun with golf, cigars & rum for one week
Unlimited golf, cart extra
Great guys trip [Details]

My friend and I braved a trip to Cuba and were more then happy we did. Never mind the Covid tests and vaccinatiion proofs, that is a giiven and went without any problems, but staying at Melia las Americas was a most wonderful experience. I got the marvelous room 3306 facing the ocean. Everything about the room was just great but it was even more satisfying due to a great service and company of lovely Karenia who made sure I had everything I needed. She is a very capable, friendly and personable lady and it was a joy to get to know her. I also must mentionn Miriela and Marichal at "Barbacoa" restaurant. Miriela is a marvel, she remembered all that I and my friend usualy ordered and was on top of every wish we had before we even voiced it. Marichal was also very atentive and made great cappuchinos. And then there is the tireless entertainment crew at the beach, namely Jorgi, Elsie and the beautifull blue eyed young lady whose name I fergot. I meant to go last day to visit with all of them and thank them one more time but was unable to, time runs out faster then we think. I will make up for it next time, soon I promisse. A big thanks to the young manager, Manuel who made sure to see to every detail in running this wonderful resort. When I praised him in the dining room I should have mentioned that it is saying a lot when your crew is often singing while runing around working. Cuba is my destination always and it will remain my destination for the remainder of my life. I wish them all well and will be there again in January or February 2022. I love you all with all my heart. [Details]

BEACH
Are very close to the door of the resort
Saturday and Sunday more locals on the beach this would be a good day to go out of the hotel
No sea weeds
No harassment by vendors on the beach

DRINKS
Cristal Cuban beer is good and cold
Cocktail are strong
Lobby bar has more variety of alcohol
A sweet wine called Legendario is terrible
Pina colada is made from powder
PLAZA
plaza next door (again, in walking distance) for casual shopping and some live entertainment.
GOLF RESTAURANT
The 2 minute walk from the hotel lobby to the Xanadu (DuPont) Mansion at the golf course, for a drink in the lounge or dinner is definitely a todo. (veal came with a purée of mashed potatoes, vegetable and well presented)

The rooms were very clean, and maid service daily. The main common areas were also kept clean. The Beach was beautiful but there wasn't enough covered areas to avoid the sun, and we paid a premium to have special access to an area of the beach, but unauthorized people were using it and the staff did not enforce the rule that it was for premium guests only. [Details]

We've been to this hotel several times, easily our favourite hotel in Varadero.
Lots of amenities, numerous daily beach activities, water sports and evening entertainment. Nightly theatre shows, evening dancing with live music or DJ's on the patio overlooking the ocean, as well as beach parties.
Rooms and beds are very comfortable, food is excellent(very important to us) with the restaurants being well kept and managed. We've seen numerous upgrades and changes over the last 4 years, including significant room upgrades, lobby refresh, restaurant upgrades, added premium Level lounges and concierge beach services, etc.
This in an adults 18 hotel, beautiful beach front, surrounded by the golf course. A number of free rounds of golf are usually included with your stay. Golf course is stunning with several unique holes. The hotel amenities and helpful staff keep us coming back. Call out to a few of the many staff that made our last last stay enjoyable: Nelson- classy professional demeanour, Raul- hardest working guy on the beach, Allen- always engaging, and Elsy,Amed and all of the entertainment folks.
