IBEROSTAR Varadero

Such a great vacation, been to Cuba many times and had no expectations as I was fully aware of shortages. Came stocked with snacks and spices and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and selection of food. The beach was absolutely gorgeous, never issues finding a shady spot at the beach or pool. No need to wake up early to reserve loungers. The resort was clean, well maintained and the staff was amazing. (The womens bathroom in the lobby was missing toilet seats wasn't expecting that) A special shout out to Yohani at the buffet. He went above and beyond and always working so hard. Always smiling and making sure everyone in his section was happy. Our morning omelette person was great and the ice cream servers were awesome. Wish I could remember names. Fresh eggs every morning was a pleasant surprise. Dayron at the lobby bar made the very best drinks. He knew our drink orders and made them amazing every time. Even surprised us with recommendations and each one was fantastic. I wish I had tried his espresso martini earlier in the trip. Alex at the pool, we did rifle shooting with him almost daily and he was so great. We really missed him our last 2 days. Overall no complaints, tried 2 of the specialty restaurants and both were good but most days preferred the selection at the buffet. Will definitely be back!

The service was the best!!! Thanks to these guys for making our vacations such a wonderfull experience, specially the Public Relationships Deparment. 100% recomended.

This was my first time in Cuba and it far exceeded my expectations. The food was excellent. As vegetarians, our group had no issues finding enough food to eat. There were fresh eggs every morning, amazing bread and butter, pasta, pizza, mashed potatoes, cooked vegetables (potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli), fries, lots of fresh fruits (including amazing mangoes), ice cream and it doesn’t end there. One morning they were even serving freshly fried doughnuts at the buffet. The food was well seasoned and we didn’t feel the need to use salt/pepper/hot sauce which we had brought with us. The sit down restaurants were able to accommodate a vegetarian meal which was nice. The staff were super friendly, attentive and helpful. We never came across a staff member that seemed like they didn’t want to be there. A special shout out to Ale (Alex) at the towel hut, Dayron (bartender at the Lobby bar), and Yohan (server at the buffet). The entertainment each night was great. The pool and beach were incredible. The resort grounds are great. The rooms could use some updating but overall we had no issues. Would definitely return!
