This was our third time in Cuba, which we Love! 1st stayed at the Blau Varadero, very nice. Will go back someday. 2nd stayed at the Iberostar Varadero, Loved it too. Would return there also. As this was the top three on trip advisor we were expecting more. First of all the Cayo Libertad is in need of a lobby... More

After arriving at the Iberostar Playa Alameda, from the Iberostar Parque Central in Havana which was superb, we did something we have not done in nearly 50 years of travel, we asked to move to another hotel. I do not want to comment on the Alameda, Iberostar know what has to be done to fix the place to 5 star... More

Just freshly back from a week at Blau Piviledge Cayo Libertad and have only very positive comments. From Check In with Lina Rosa to Carlos, the 'Frog Man', everything was simply great! The rooms were lovely and spacious, the walk in closet was very much appreciated, the soaker bathtubs, beautiful and relaxing and several days we had the entire beach... More

We stayed at the Privilege for 5 nights in April 2013. Overall very good. Quiet, clean room with good views, but still a short distance from the pool and restaurant. Food was good and service excellent. Shuttle bus (i.e. an electric golf cart) was readily available to take us to and from the main resort if we needed it. A... More

I would just to begin by saying what fantastic people the Cubans are. Very hard working and they try to accommodate you even with the lack of services which they have no control over. Our Sunwing rep Barbaleta was very good and informative. The waiters and bartenders were very nice and service was quite good. We arrived on our Sunwing... More

We were moved here from the Blau Varedero as it had been booked out by the Cuban government. We were told it was an upgrade and we would receive "Royal Service". Sadly as other reviews have stated the service in this hotel was shocking. Quite a distance (15 min walk) from the Blau Marina which had the buffet restaurant although... More

We finished our first trip to Cuba with four days here. Mistakes in the Blau system upgraded us to this, reputedly the best hotel in Cuba. But then you have to remember this is Cuba. Getting to the hotel is a trek, its 30 Km from Varadero along the Hicacos Peninsula, we drove ourselves and when the building site adjacent... More

First time in Cuba and upgraded to a suite. On a positive note the beach and pool at the libertad end of the resort are lovely and the pool bar team are friendly. Apart from that our experience varied from smelly room with drains that whiffed and dead insects behind blinds and curtains. We also shared our room for two... More

Not sure where to start really, this was our first trip to Cuba, My Wife & I took this as a belated Honeymoon, (albeit 18 years later)! Upon arrival we were impressed by the location and while I appreciate the property is currently undergoing renovations, it seemed very nice on first impressions. We checked in early morning and were greeted... More
