I visited Cuba for one week, as of March 30th 2013. I stayed with my family at Iberostar Plaja Alameda in Varadero. The location is excellent and I have to recognize that the colour of the see is magnificent and the sun brings you the expected energy, which makes you oversee certain minuses like the insect net blocked (so we...

We did not enjoy our time in this resort. We arrived late after a difficult drive and had not reserved any hotel. More out of desperation we checked into this hotel. The reception staff were not particularly friendly, warning us how expensive it was and maybe we should try elsewhere. We persevered and booked for 2 nights. The rooms were... More

Let me start by saying I would certainly go back to this resort. The pros: Our room was very clean (3rd floor, 13th block) no bugs, although we did have a gecko share our room for a night or two. Our maid Milagros was great and left us some great towel and bedspread art through the week. The food was... More

We were at the hotel the first week of April. I can't believe some of the complaints and reviews I have been reading. Some of it sounds like a different hotel than we stayed at. I never saw it listed anywhere as a 5 star only as a 4 star. We have stayed at many resorts in other caribbean countries... More

This vacation was booked on a whim, 2 days before departure. The other place I was in the middle of paying for sold out and the next place she offered was this so I just took it, I knew nothing about it whatsoever when I booked. When I arrived and got of the bus I was pleasantly surprised and kind... More

We arrived late at night and no one brought us to our rooms. Lighting was terrible in pathways and in room stairways. Rooms need renovations. We are a family of 4 and they gave us 2 dbl beds, which are not real dbl size. They are much smaller. The beds are pushed together and you can not move them. Small... More

Before I left for the trip I read these reviews everyday. I was horrified that the vacation was going to be horrible because the hotel sounded like it was really bad. The vacation was not bad, but that's because we made the best out of the situation. If you read the reviews before you'll go in not expecting the greatest,... More
