IBEROSTAR Varadero

Thank you for such an excellent vacation that we have had at this Iberostar hotel, throughout our stay we enjoyed the best quality of services and exquisite attention thanks to Roberto at the buffet. The beautiful beach with super entertaining activities makes you remember your childhood, we enjoyed very good dance classes and a very lively Bingo. The cleanliness of the rooms is unsurpassed, all thanks to Lizandra, excellent welcome and customer service, very well prepared meals and refreshing drinks. It's a real paradise

The hotel is absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. Idelsis with guest services would greet us every morning to make sure we were having a good day and had everything we needed. It was nice to see her smiling face every day. The entertainment staff is amazing from keeping us entertained around the pool to dancing the night away at the disco. I can't say enough about the staff at the resort each and every person makes you feel welcome and special. Our maid was a sweetheart and took very good care of us. The pool is huge and the beach is beautiful. The dubble decker bus comes to the front entrance to the hotel $5 and you can ride the bus all day. The food was what was expected and I could always find something I liked. I would come back to this resort in a heart beat. I can't find anything negative to say our hole experience was awesome.

I booked my clients here at the Iberostar Selection Varadero and they told me they had a great anniversary trip. Special thanks to Franklin for all he did to make this a memorable trip. Food, beach and room were all great. Staff was helpful and very kind.

We visited Iberostar Varadero Selection the 2nd week of January. We have been to Cuba several times and this Hotel was by far the Best ever! The staff, rooms, entertainment team were amazing. The food at the buffet was the best I have ever had in Cuba. Fresh bread every morning, smoked salmon, omelet station, turkey, roast beef and on and on. Whether you went for breakfast, lunch or dinner it didn't disappoint. The resort wasn't to capacity so many open pool chairs and even more beach chairs to choose from. The little beach bars and fresh bbq lunch everyday next to the turquoise water and sandy white beaches, just perfect. Only thing you might want to bring with you is a little bug spray as the beach "no-see-ima" bothered my husband. It will not disappoint you. So get down there Canadians, they are missing you.

We have stayed at Iberostar Selection half a dozen times so far, either with my wife or with our extended family, including our grandkids. This was our first visit in January, and after checking the 14-day weather forecast, we decided there would be enough sun to go. Thankfully, the forecast was mostly accurate; in fact, we experienced even more sunshine than expected. Our friends who arrived a week later were not this lucky, they had bad weather. Despite all the media reports regarding electricity and other issues, we encountered none of them. The only noticeable difference was in the guest composition and hotel occupancy, with more visitors from Eastern Europe and fewer from Canada. In my estimation, the occupancy was about half or less. We didn't notice any significant differences in food or drinks either. The usual Cuban assortments were available, which allowed for some room for improvement. However, we didn’t find this beyond our expectations given our extensive experience with Cuban hotel cuisine. One aspect we were completely dissatisfied with was the entertainment. The volume in the arena was so high that I had to wear earplugs to preserve my sanity. The content was also questionable; I would prefer to see more traditional Cuban bands with minimal electronic assistance, but that’s just my personal taste. If anyone in a managerial position reads this, please speak to the animation team and ask them to lower the volume. As usual, the hotel’s greatest asset is its staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and prompt in addressing our concerns or providing the necessary services. We would like to thank them all, especially Rebeca and Yaritza at the reception desk and Zoa and Yanelis at the bar. We stayed in room 1643, and our maid was excellent as well. They are incredible and always make our stay a little better. Thank you so much!
