    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.

    This is our first trip to Cuba just to ensure ourselves about the tales tell of bad food, lousy services from Government employee.....etc. Chose Iberostar from Trip Advisor and it turned out all stories that we have heard about Cuban resorts are just the myths or we may just be the lucky ones - however many thanks to Iberostar Varadero resorts management and staffs that changed our views about Cuban resorts. The hotel room is super clean with dedicated cleaning staffs, Food at Buffet restaurants are very good with many varieties to keep our appertise alive until the day we leave, beach front is a crystal clean and calm all week long (A La cart restaurabt food is not up to 5* level)..... Too many good things to say but also there is something Iberostar Management can improve on, first, the staff customer service behavior from food service and bar tender should be consistent and equally toward all guests regardless of their skin colour not only after receiving good tips from them. (we are asian canadians) The cocktail preparer skills of the bar tenders at the pool and beach side kiosks is really needed to be much improved - they are not really cocktails just some alcohol and water..... But the cocktail drinks from the Lobby bar is expertly prepared help lighten up our spirit during week night amazing entertainment shows Cheers and will be back soon
    Excellent Experience

    Iberostar exceeded my expectations. I wasn’t expecting to be blown away but I definitely was. The food was excellent — buffet, restaurants, bars, mini grilled food restaurants by the beach & pool. The restaurants did an excellent job at giving excellent service. We really enjoyed the Japanese restaurant, our chef Javier put on a great show! The entertainment was excellent: games & activities during the day and talented dancers every night from 930-1030. The night club was from1030-2am Drinks: At first I wasn’t too happy with the drinks but if you ask your bartenders to prepare it a certain way, they will. The CocoLoco was delicious and if not, a good old tequila shot. The cup sizes aren’t too big so bring a cup with you. Music: during the day the music at the pool and beach was very old and the same songs over and over. During the night time, the club did play new songs. I suggest you bring a speaker with you to the beach. Rooms: were nice and clean. The a/c was perfect. The views were incredible. Customer Service: everyone was friendly and helpful. I was truly in paradise. Excellent Experience— can’t wait to go back.

    Currently staying in the resort and reality isn’t the image that is sold to you before coming:- - Cocktails extremely poor quality and no flavour (Basically coloured ice) - Spirits what you see aren’t what you get, as I witnessed major brands bottles being filled with cheap replacements - All drinks are in glasses (sometimes plastic) and not great for beach - Rooms big but seriously require upgrading, dirty & tired - Shower cubicle is actually revolting and likely to contain legionnaires - Ants everywhere in the room and seem to be getting worse as week goes on - Mini bar consists of 2 cans of beer (different kinds, one not to our taste but can’t be swapped) bottle of water and couple of cans of juice and are replaced daily - birds are allowed to enter restaurants and eat of buffet tables (incl. food areas) There are some good things like hairdryer in the room and short walk to the beach but very much basic overall. Hate to see what other hotels are like if this is classed as top. Photos to follow
    Fantastic hotel!

    We stayed here in Oct 2018 for 1 week. The hotel was faultless, the sun was shining and the location was great. Close to the beach and plenty to do at the hotel which meant you did not need to travel any further afield. The food was delicious with restaurants you could book into if you fancied a change from the generic buffet style. Havana rum is really cheap to buy here, however there is a limit as to how much you can take back through customs. The hotel itself is spread out and the rooms are well equipped. Men could wear smart tailored shorts of an evening, long trousers didn’t seem to be required for the evenings. I would return to this hotel.
    Wonderful Week

    We just returned from an amazing week at Iberostar Selection Varadero. This was our fourth trip to Varadero and our first at this resort. We picked this resort based on the reviews and we were not disappointed! If you're looking for the most beautiful beach, and amazing, friendly service, look no further. To start, the staff are wonderful, friendly, and the service they provide is excellent. A few stand out, and I wish I could remember all of their names: the bar tenders at the beach and in the lobby, Susan and the animation team, the wonderful servers in the lobby, the waiters & waitresses in the a la carte restaurants, and Judy, the lady who cleaned our room. Another thing that sets this resort apart is the quality of the room and bed. The King size bed was very comfortable and the room wasn't a bit damp. This was the first time I can remember not having a damp room! The food is good with a wide variety. The meal we had at the Gourmet a la carte was my favourite and would rival any fine restaurant. We will definitely visit this resort again and would recommend it to anyone looking to relax and enjoy the exceptional Cuban hospitality!
