Royalton Hicacos Varadero Resort & Spa

We stayed at the Royalton Hicacos Varadero Resort & Spa for seven days, and it exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the older part that had not yet been renovated, but the rooms are big and very clean. We also saw the rooms in the renovated part, and they were amazing. The resort is beautifully maintained and offers a perfect blend of relaxation and activity. Even though it is an adult hotel and there were parties, you cannot hear much because the rooms are on a side far from the loud music. The service was the highlight. From the warm welcome with a cold towel and drink upon arrival to the attentive poolside butler service, we felt truly taken care of. A special shout-out to Butler Renier, who came to our room to welcome us and answer all our questions. Knowing that Cuba was dealing with a food shortage, the food quality and quantity were impressive. Also, we had no problem reserving the restaurants. The hotel's entertainment made both the days and nights so much fun. Usually, we book some excursions, but not this time. We left the resort just once, to see Matanzas, which we had not visited when we visited Cuba previously. We did not want to lose a day in the hotel. Everything in the resort was well organized, from daytime activities by the pool to the incredible evening shows, which brought great energy and kept things lively without ever being over-the-top. The shows were amazing — engaging, impressive, and something we looked forward to every night. Another impressive feature of that hotel is the beach. Wow!!! I am mostly a pool person, but the sand, the view... oh, you need to see that. We have been thinking of returning to this hotel again and recommending it to everyone. It is rated as a 5-star hotel, but we were able to get a pretty good price. Over time, I think that the hotel was worth every penny. Thank you to all the staff, especially to Renier, who, over the time we spent in the hotel, became our friend

I’m very sorry about new situation regarding the jets fuel which cause closing Cuba resorts. As soon as it’s again open I’ll be more than happy to visit and enjoy the Royalton Hicacos Varadero. I was guest 7 times there and can’t disrobe with words how much we aa a couple and couple of my friends enjoyed everything the Royalton offer, an amazing service, the beach, food and whole atmosphere and vibe. The management with G.M Joanh David really take care about their guests. The front desk and Lobby Bar crew deserve special thanks for their service. They’re so nice, patient, polite with a smile offering their service. Jennifer front desk, Chewaly, Jasuri and rest of the Libby Bar crew are the best. Accommodation at the Royalton resort, beach, Dimond Club Salsa Bar deserve truly 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Wish the all best and can’t wait to visit and fully enjoy that amazing resort like all my precious 7 visit. ❤️🇨🇺❤️🇨🇦

Fabulous resort Not too big so very cozy The staff is wonderful So helpful and nice Love this resort

Very nice resort everything is easy to get too,very friendly staff and helpful, clean and well kept, the beach is super very clean couldn't ask for better and plenty chairs and shade.

We have been to Varadero, Cuba 5 times before and we found this resort to be our favourite of the ones we have stayed at. We were a group of 12 and we all agreed that we would come back here. There was a good variety of food to choose from in the buffet. We had a couple of “picky eaters” in our group and they were able to find enough food to keep them satisfied. We looked forward to having David and Alberto greet us in the mornings with warm smiles and hot coffee! We found the a la Carte Restaurants hard to get into with a large group since it was a first come first served basis, but our butlers Betty and Leo were able to help us. The rooms were nice enough and spacious, but we couldn't wait to get home to our bed. I liked that the toilet area was closed off, so you were still able to get ready if your partner was "doing business". Water pressure was good and there was plenty of hot water. There were a lot of activities available… beach volleyball, 3 pickleball and 2 tennis courts. Carlos helped us get hold of cornhole boards and even joined us in a game! The beach was beautiful and we never had an issue getting chairs even with a large group. We never spent a full day at the pool, but it was very pretty with rock waterfalls and several different areas to sit... also a swim up bar. We enjoyed the lobby bar and seemed to have claimed the covered shelter close to the bar, but not too close that we were disruptive to those wanting a quiet area to relax. Loved the shows at night especially the Rock Show!! "Michael Jackson" was amazing!! The grounds were beautifully kept and the gardens were lush! We will definitely come back once flights from Canada resume.
