    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    Six restaurants and private access to the sands are the calling cards at Ocean Vista Azul.

    Location-wise, Ocean Vista Azul has it spot on. A private path leads you down to a beach. Plus, the waterfront eateries and downtown salsa bars of Varadero are just a short drive away.

    Inside, the hotel has design-magazine good looks, with marble floors, bright-white walls and wood-panelling. Rooms come with perks like coffee-makers and flat-screen TVs. Some have ocean views, too.

    My wife and I decided to visit Cuba with our six month old daughter for our first family vacation. We decided to visit the ocean vista Azul based on a recommendation. We decided to upgrade to the privileged package and we are glad that we did. The resort itself is pretty nice resort and easy to navigate around it. They have two pool and a third if you upgrade to the privileged packaged. Five restaurants that you can chose from and one buffet location on the resort. The beach itself can be a bit of a walk to get two but they have two sections for it at this resort. The food itself is decent for Cuba I have had worse and better it’s essentially a hit or miss. The bad: The service itself could use an upgrade especially the room service should not take two hours to bring you your food. The one beach that they are still fixing after Irma wrecked it two years ago was a pile of sand and a large tube they are using to fix it. The price of late checkout my wife and I will use late checkout when we need to but the fact they charged us 33 bucks an hour after four was absolutely ridiculous never paid so much for it before. Also if you feed your baby formula make sure you bring a kettle if need be because the resort apparently does not have one. I recommend giving this resort a try if your traveling the Cuba but if you do definitely upgrade for the privilege perks it will definitely enhance your vacation.
    It’s your vacation, make the best of it!

    We were a family of 7 with 3 separate rooms and stayed for 2 weeks from Aug 3-17th. I stayed in room 4202 and have to say that my room was very clean and had towels daily, thank you to my maid Lesly for making us comfortable. The resort is very nice and grounds were clean. Entertainment staff are excellent, especially those at the beach, very friendly and keep you on your toes. The food was okay, we had lobster on several occasions and there’s always something to choose from. You won’t go hungry. We were a bit fed up the 2nd week so we decided to go into town to eat, we went to Nonna Tina (Italian restaurant) and it was Amazing! The prices are cheap and the food is authentic. The service at the lobby needs to be improved, they need more waitresses to serve everyone in the evening. The Beach: Beautiful beach, enough chairs and palapas for everyone. Only downside are the stairs leading to the beach, not accessible for those with mobility issues. Overall everyone was friendly and accommodating, they did their best to please everyone. A lot of people complaining as they expect top notch service: all I could say to these people is: you’re on vacation, make the best of it or just simply stay home!

    I just got back from a recent stay at this resort-hotel and yes, it is structurally nice with very nice pools and beaches BUT do not let appearances fool you! If you opt for a simple room, you will have access only to the worst food and drinks within the resort. The buffet is disgusting with horrible food and dirty tables and utensils! Personally, I opted to upgrade to an inclusive Privilege Frontal view package but believe me it was totally useless. My room was not infront of the beach as I assumed. To make matters even worse, the bed cover and blanket were stained with dried blood. Now you tell me, is this reason alone worthy of giving this hotel a 5 stars? No, I don't think so! Totally disgusting! Worst part was I requested the problem with the hotel staff and was ignored and not until I went back down to the lobby to complaint after a few attempts over the phone, it wasn't until 11pm that someone showed up at my room to remove the disgusting bedcover and bring me a regular blanket. My problems seemed to keep on mounting. The second day, after going out to the beach, I noticed the cleaning person had already been in the room and had taken out the dirty towels but did not replace them with clean ones! I once again, called the reception area to ask for clean towels and was told that there were none available until after 1pm. It was after 3pm and the towels still had not been replaced! At night time, my cousin and I were in the mood for a little dancing and since we had been told that there was a place within the resort that had music and entertainment, we decided to give it a try. Much to our surprise, there was NO music or entertainment in the hotel resort! Another lie. Also, the lines checking in were totally big and seemed to take forever to get someone to check you in. Yes, Varadero has really nice beaches but if you think you are going to find a 5 star hotel in Varadero, then good luck to you!

    This resort is a fantastic place . The incredible beaches particularly at sunset and pool areas, the great food in the buffet, the rooms. The amimation staff play water sports and dance classes . The entertainment team made the difference for us. The girls that work in the mini club are amazin with a mini disco and ativities at the beach for childrens (Nena and Lulu). Felix is always happy and Charlie DJ wow is so good .All the staff is friendly and so nice. So we will visit this hotel again for the staff that work here
