Description

The all-inclusive Meliá Varadero hotel is located on the famous Varadero Beach in Cuba. Perfect for families, groups, and couples, this 4-star resort immerses you in a tranquil tropical setting from the moment you arrive in the lobby. From a bird's-eye view, the unique architecture resembles a palm tree, with seven large leaves for each wing of the hotel, and numerous plants and flowers adorn the lobby. All rooms are spacious and bathed in natural light, creating a serene atmosphere. Most accommodations offer unforgettable views of the turquoise waters of the sea, the pool, and/or the gardens. For an even higher level of sophistication and privacy, indulge in The Level, a new exclusive section on the top floor.

Whether you spend the day at the beach or by the pool, you'll find plenty of sun loungers available. Enjoy the bars serving a selection of international and domestic drinks. The poolside bar offers delicious fresh fruit juices and tropical cocktails! The hotel offers a variety of non-motorized water sports, and an excellent entertainment program will keep guests amused from morning till night. The kids' club (ages 5-12) will delight children, who can also enjoy their own dedicated pool. The resort offers exquisite and varied dining options, ranging from an à la carte buffet to Tex-Mex cuisine, grilled dishes, and Japanese cuisine.

The friendly staff ensures guests are entertained by organizing lively evenings and games. Try dance or stretching classes, or play pétanque! You can also enjoy beach volleyball, basketball, soccer, and tennis (the courts are floodlit at night). The resort has a fitness center and is located near the Varadero Golf Club. Numerous water sports are included in your stay, such as aqua aerobics, kayaking, catamaran sailing, paddle boating, aqua cycling, sailing, and scuba diving. Evenings at the Meliá Varadero are all about fun thanks to live entertainment, a nightclub, and a piano bar!

Résumé des avis

The staff is highly praised for their friendliness and excellent service. The beach is considered beautiful, clean, with turquoise water and plenty of sunbeds. Furthermore, the hotel itself is magnificent, clean, and well-maintained. The food is often very good and varied, especially at the buffet. The rooms are comfortable, many having been renovated, and the pools are lovely and well-equipped. However, the beach is sometimes perceived as small or rocky in certain areas, and there can occasionally be a shortage of sunbeds.

Great experience, beautiful hotel, good service and very friendly staff.
Belle expérience, belle hôtel, bon service et personnel très gentil.

This was our third time at this hotel and everything was excellent. The staff were very friendly, the room was lovely, the buffet was very good, and the à la carte restaurant was also very good. The only downside was the beach; it's really shallow, so there isn't much space between the sun loungers, but the sea is magnificent.

C'était notre troisièmes fois à cet hôtel et tout était très bien. Personnel très gentil, très belle chambre, buffet très bien, resto à la carte très bien. Le seul bémol c’est la plage, vraiment pas profonde donc il y a pas beaucoup d’espace entre les chaises longues mais la mer est magnifique.

stunning
superbe

In general, the staff was really nice. The food was very limited in variety, with few healthy options and often the same thing day after day (our favorite restaurant was the international one, but it wasn't much more than the buffet). There was a disgusting smell in the stairwell in front of the elevators. We had a problem in our room, and someone was quickly available to resolve the situation. Very good service. Once again, some staff members made a huge difference. Excellent service.

en général le personnel était vraiment gentil
la nourriture était très peu varié, peut de choix santé et souvent la même chose de jour en jour (notre restaurant préféré l'international mais rien de beaucoup plus que le buffet)
il y avait une odeur dégoût dans l'escalier devant les ascenceurs
nous avons eu un problème dans notre chambre et rapidement nous avons eu quelqu'un pour régler la situation très bon service.
encore une fois certains personnels ont fait une superbe différence excellent service

The Cuban welcome
L’accueil cubain

A wonderful week at the Meliá. The Cuban people are going through a lot, and despite everything, my friend and I received a very warm welcome. Thank you to all the staff—smiling, dignified, kind, so hardworking and resilient. Please remember to bring them your US dollars and spoil them as much as possible. Thinking of you.

Une superbe semaine au Meliá, le peuple cubain en arrache et malgré tout cela nous avons été reçu chaleureusement mon ami et moi ici.
Merci à tout le personnel, souriants, dignes, gentils, tellement travaillants et résiliants.
Penser à leur apporter vos dollars US et gâtez les le + possible svp
De tout cœur avec vous.
