    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    This beachfront place pulls out all the stops when it comes to facilities – it’s got 4 pools, 5 restaurants and a hefty list of activities.

    Thanks to a jungle surrounding, the Iberostar Varadero has a private, secluded feel. It’s parked next to the beach, too, so you’ve got powdery white sands on the doorstep.

    Pools, bars and restaurants are scattered around the palm-dotted complex. Varadero’s not far if you fancy exploring – a taxi can zip you there in 20 minutes.

    Incredible hotel, clean with excellent facilities, great food but more importantly superb employees, they made us feel at home! Everything was great from the welcoming. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive to our needs, always accommodating any request. The beach and the pool are fantastic and they have nightly entertainment for all ages.
    the good and bad of Iberostar Selection Varadero

    The good: The hotel is beautiful with a night show comprised of very professional performers and an amazing band. The hosts speak at least 3 languages which evidences the level of professionalism of the staff. The beach unparalleled, miles and miles of white sand and crystal clear water. Most of the staff is very friendly and helpful including the cleaning lady Yaneisy, the A/C tech Fleitas and the Iberostar rep Liz. Thanks to the equipment the beach boys had, I was able to get my mother, who is unable to walk, into the beach and she had the best time ever. The bad I had to change rooms 3 times before I got a decent one. Twice, the boy who assisted me said the room was on the second floor when it was actually in the third floor (no elevators and I was with a baby). The A/C in the rooms has a low limit of 21 Celsius degrees (70 F) and it seems that is impossible to lower it down. I spent the first night requesting to decrease the temperature in my room and every time I got a "I'll take care of it now". It wasn't until next morning that the A/C tech named Fleitas clearly explained the issue to me. The internet service is the worst in the world. You need to pay 1 CUC (about 1.20 dollars) for an hour of WI-FI which is only available in the lobby. The restaurant reservations seemed cumbersome. The first person who assisted us told us that we had rights to only one restaurant, of the four in the hotel. Thanks to Liz, the Ibersotar representative, who explained to us that reservations are guaranteed based on the number of nights you reserved, but guests have rights to all four. Another thing that really upset me was that I needed a navigation permit in order to ride one of the boat tours they had because I was born in Cuba. When I asked about guests from other countries the answer was that they already had a navigation permit. This of course is just an excuse and it bothers me that Cubans have less rights than foreigners. Other than that, we all had a very good time.

    Just returned from 11 nights here after a sticky start needing to be moved rooms due to the terrible condition of the initial room given to us we moved to a recently refurbished room which was much better. We stayed here for 11 nights and relaxed into our holiday. Hotel staff very helpful throughout the stay. Food was OK no problems although it was repetitive but that's the same at most hotels when you are there a while. Entertainement on an evening was very poor and there was no where to go aoutside of the hotel which is something we like to do, I like to experience local culture. You could have been in any country as no identity to Cuba Drinks incredibly watered down. Overall we had an OK week and my review is based on my choice and type of holiday that I prefer
    lovely and accommodating

    please keep in mind when reading other reviews Cuba is more than 10 year behind the US and UK this hotel is a fantastic clean and well laid out with great customer service good food and well stocked bars tip the waiter and they soon remember your face and return no matter how complicated your drink order the rooms are very specious and clean however the resort is well space which is both a pro however for those whom struggle with walking may want to request a room closer to the lobby as some such as ours are quite the walk from the pool dining room and lobby spot on food especially for those who enjoy fish but dont worry they have a wide range of options for all times of day including midnight snacks as theres a little area where food is available all night the hotel is located straight on the beach with both a beach bar and snack bar available white sand calm seas absolutely stunning the hotel excels in alot of areas but its night shows area very impressive as they clearly take pride in their performances on for 8-12 then live music and a night club out front till 3am the shows are well worth going to see all in all if i were to go back to cuba again i wouldnt stay anywhere else
