The hotel needs renovations.
Hôtel a besoin de rénovations

The beach is very beautiful, but the food isn't very good; there's a lack of everything. The hotel needs renovation, and the staff are just okay, nothing more.

La plage est très belle, La nourriture est pas très bonne, manque de tout. l'hôtel a besoin de rénovation, les employés sont juste correct sans plus.

Far too much walking
Beaucoup trop de marchage

The hotel manager had a bull-like face and didn't know how to talk to the guests. The rest of the staff were very welcoming.

Le directeur de l'hôtel a une face de bœuf et ne sais pas parlé aux clients. Le reste du staff étaient bien accueillant.

Great experience but could be improved
Superbe expérience mais pourrais être améliorée

I should mention that this was my third visit to this resort, and I still loved my experience, but honestly, they have some things to improve with the buffet. In 2019 and 2020, there was a real selection of meals available, and now in 2026, the buffet selection is extremely limited. Some items are only available for the first few minutes after the buffet is open, and then they're gone for everyone else. What I love about this resort are the incredibly helpful and friendly staff, one of the most beautiful beaches in Varadero (you can walk out far into the sea and the water is waist-deep), the pools are magnificent, and the bars know how to make cocktails with whatever they have on hand—they make excellent Piña Coladas, for example).

Je dois préciser que c'étais ma 3ème visite a ce resort, et j'ai tout de même adoré mon expérience, mais vraiment, ils ont des choses a améliorer côté buffet, en 2019 et en 2020, il y avais une véritable sélection de repas disponibles, et maintenant en 2026, le choix au buffet est extrêmement limité, des items ne sont disponibles que pendant les quelques premières minutes d'ouverture du buffet, après il n'y en a plus pour les autres. Ce que j'adore de ce resort, ce sont les employés hyper serviables avec le sourire, une des plus belle plage de Varadero, on peut descendre loin dans la mer et on a de l'eau a la taille, les piscines sont magnifiques et les bars savent préparer des cocktails avec ce qu'ils ont sous la main, ils font d'excellents Pina Colada par exemple.
