Cuba

If you're looking to relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches and sunny days this is the most amazing place to do it. The resort is beautiful and is welcoming to every person and lifestyles. Rooms are very spacious and clean with a huge shower, tub and private bathroom. And I'm not going to lye, the butler service was an added plus. Our hardworking butlers went well beyond to make our vacation comfortable and memorable. From primo service to private meals in our room. The entire MGM staff is so friendly, helpful and do the little extras to make you feel special and welcome. The groundskeepers work very hard each day in the heat to maintain tidy gardens and keep the public areas clean and tidy. Don't be surprised if once and awhile you may be treated to a refreshing coconut picked right off the tree. We had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with the incredibly friendly staff in every areas on the resort. From the bars, to the gym to the awesome shows at night, to the coffee bar and so much more. We were so blessed to have met other friendly guests from everywhere in Canada who we built lasting friendships with and shared so many lasting memories with. Special shout out to Twin, Bubbly Yenia, Leo and Liubel for making our stay top notch and enjoyable and for all the extra attention and for educating us about your culture and country. Life is not always going to be roses and rainbows

It feels great coming back to visit our friends and family. They always welcome you with big smiles in their faces. The beach was awesome as usual and the people are the reason why we cant go to another place. It feels sad we cant stay longer but for sure we'll be back next year. It wont be long before you see us again.

Très bel hôtel bien situé au milieu de la ville tout a été parfait pendant nos 5 jours dans ce complexe, qui a deux bâtiments séparés, un dans la partie coloniale et c'est juste en face des plus beaux bâtiments de la ville, c'est le théâtre et le parc central de la ville. De la terrasse de la piscine, vous pouvez également voir toutes les vues de la ville. Ses deux bâtiments sont juste à côté l'un de l'autre, communiqués par une jolie galerie. Dans le hall du bâtiment moderne, il y a un restaurant "Havana Elegante" qui est une spécialité de riz "paella espagnole" mais ils ont aussi différents bons plats bien cuisinés et bien présentés. Nous recommandons la suite dans le bâtiment colonial 443 avec son immense terrasse et sa vue imprenable sur le Capitolio et le Park Central. C'était tellement beau et grand, chaque détail était comme nous l'espérions et plus encore, un service de chambre 24 heures sur 24 chaque fois que vous appelez, vous obtenez ce que vous voulez directement dans la chambre et c'est tout simplement incroyable pour des vacances parfaites. Nous remercions sans aucun doute tous les employés de ce grand hôtel Iberostar !!! Nous espérons revenir bientôt et passer encore un bon moment ici.

Stayed for five days with two granddaughters (ages 12 and 15). Booked Royal Service and received a swim-up room upon arrival. Cannot say enough about the butlers (Ari and Kamila). Both ladies were excellent and they anticipated your needs before you even had needs! Room was immaculate. Bright, very modern and comfortable. Condition of the resort was amazing and staff were very hospitable. Unfortunately the staff know very little English. For instance, I had to spell out Gin on every drink order???? Food was acceptable, considering it is Cuba. No salad or fresh tomatoes. Stewed tomatoes only. Cucumbers, corn, green beans were available. Nightly entertainment (on the three nights we tried to go) was 2 to 8 year old kids doing the chicken dance.

We only stayed a couple of days here to tour Havana. They have done some recent renos which add to the hotel. The location is perfect, pool is lovely, and tennis courts are fantastic! We only had breakfast here. We were touring all day but breakfast was perfect to kick start our day of touring! Rooms were cleaned daily and plenty of space in the room. Dont hesitate to book

The hotel was in very good shape, we stayed in Cabana 3 which is nice and close to main beach. Shower was really powerful with rainforest head, awesome.

V.S and my wife K.S from Toronto Canada. We had the opportunity to go on vacation to Cuba. We liked everything about Blau Varadero Hotel, everything is very clean and organized. The hotel staff took great care of us and all of them are friendly. Our rooms were spotless, the gardens are clean, the night entertainment programs were very well organized and as an overall experience, you are made to feel very special at this hotel. When I return to Canada, I will definitely share this holiday experience with my friends and highly recommend Blau Varadero if they consider a holiday to Cuba. My wife and I would look forward to choosing Blau Varadero again in the future. I would like to thank all the employees that made this a wonderful vacation experience.

Generally good. Property was unique and very attractive. Cuban issues however shown at resort with many shortages of product. Resort needs a little upgrade to retain its 5 star status

For the first time in the over 20 times I've been to Cuba, I was extremely disappointed. Staff was rude and appeared to be bothered if you asked them something (except for a couple of good ones) shortage of towels, toilet paper, power outages, water outages, floods in the room....and the worst part....the beach....it was not like any beach I've been to. They didn't bother cleaning....seaweed ALL OVER.....rocks in the water so you had to walk far out...but you'd still get some rocks....barely any entertainment......all we wanted was a good beach and dancing.....we got none of it. No plans on coming back.

First the good news...the resort and the people were great! Truly enjoyable. However, the food was very disappointing. Every meal (except 2) consisted of pureed pumpkin and rice and a protein. When you are in a resort for 20 meals and 18 meals have pureed pumpkin as a veggie, well...try imagining how you'd feel about that.
