Royalton Hicacos Varadero Resort & Spa

We spent a great week at the Royalton Hicacos. The hotel is very well maintained, with nice green areas and everything very clean. The beach is one of the best I've seen, white sand and crystal clear water, perfect for swimming and relaxing.The staff was the best part. Always willing to help, with a smile, making you feel welcome. The bar guys and waiters are lovely.The food was good, with variety at the buffet and à la carte restaurants. Maybe some days a specific item was missing, but nothing serious. Overall, very pleasant vacations. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for rest and good service in Varadero.

Excellent adult-only resort. The beach is spectacular and the staff is the best in terms of attention and friendliness. The facilities are very clean and the food is varied and tasty; for me, the best was at the Ranchón Playa restaurant. Ideal for relaxing and forgetting about everything. I would definitely repeat.

We stayed at the Royal Hicacos in July 20-25 and had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The resort is beautiful, well maintained, and has an amazing atmosphere. The beach is absolutely spectacular crystal-clear turquoise water, soft white sand, and plenty of space to relax. The pool area was also excellent and perfect for spending the afternoon. What really made our stay special was the staff.. thank you Thais for everything. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. Their service made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our vacation. The food was normal good, is Cuba and is not good timing for them.. but for the price you get you get what you pay and more.. . we especially enjoyed the à la carte restaurants and the beach restaurant. The entertainment and activities also gave the resort a great atmosphere without taking away from the relaxing feeling. Our room was comfortable, clean, and well maintained. Overall, the Royal Hicacos gave us exactly what we were looking for: beautiful beaches, great service, good food, and a relaxing Caribbean vacation. We would definitely come back and highly recommend Royal Hicacos to anyone looking for a great adults-only resort in Varadero!

Once again at my favorite resort. This time there were fewer guests, but the excellence remained. It's always worth coming back to see our friends.

We can't wait to get back. Our 2026 trip was cancelled by our Canadian carrier, and we sorely missed being at the Royalton Hicacos. We are hopeful of getting back in 2027 to a place and staff that are close to our hearts. We think of them often. In the meantime we wish the best of luck to all of the wonderful people who work(ed) there.
