Iberostar Varadero   Four plus sun rating (This accommodation rating is a First Choice Sun Rating)

in Varadero , Cuba - Varadero

 

Enjoy a taste of Hollywood glamour in the pools of the Iberostar Varadero. Here, there are Greek-inspired follies and a thatched pool bar for lazy days in the Caribbean sunshine. But, that’s not all it has to offer. Right on the beach, there’s loads of room for bucket-and-spade or walking hand-in-hand action. And you won’t go hungry with four restaurants serving up a mix of cuisines including Japanese and Italian.

Local info

About Varadero
The place to go if you want to do things on your holiday, Varadero is Cuba's best beach retreat for visiting the cool city of Havana, and is the island's most established resort, with everything from bars to boat trips.

About Cuba - Varadero
No wonder Varadero is a big favourite with European sun-seekers. It’s got the lot. There’s the 21km beach for starters. Its white sands stretch from the north edge of the Hicacos Peninsula and go on and on. Most of this resort’s flashy hotels are lined along it, too, so you won’t have too far to pad from pool to aquamarine seas. When you’re not enjoying the shores, modern Downtown Varadero has lots on offer from shops and street markets to restaurants and leafy parks. And Havana and Montemar Great Natural Park are in easy day trip distance.
