Good value for money but this is very much in the style of a typical package holiday. Rooms-clean, well equipped, any faults were quickly repaired.Rooms cleaned daily. The television shows a few English speaking channels -enough to get the world news and catch the odd film. Food-good-the fruit juices are artificial, overall food is plentiful with good choice.Cuban restaurant my... more

Just returned to Scotland, following a fab two weeks there. The hotel itself was pretty good. Clean, tidy and the maids were fab. When we arrived we had a room in the main hotel with a rotten view so got asked to get moved, got moved to a bungalow the following day and it was superb, right at the pool!... more

We just came back from this hotel. The beach and the overall setting in Varadero are magnificent, but this hotel is just awful. - first of all, if you have a room on the same floor as the reception desk - REFUSE IT! They have a bar and a billiard table just next to the rooms. The noise is unbearable... more

The flight was with Air Canada and there was a small problem because they ran out of tourist visa cards, so half of the flight waited at the customs until they got more - anyway, besides that everything was fine. Our room... more

My husband and I stayed at Iberostar Tainos for 2 weeks between 18/06/08 and 03/07/08 travelling with First Choice. We arrived at Varadero airport (very small!) and were through fairly quickly without any problems and onto the transfer couch. The journey to the hotel only took about 30-40 mins. It had been raining when we arrived and it rained the... more

My wife and I have just returned from 2 weeks at the Iberostar Tainos and I would like to congratulate the resort and their staff for making this holiday a time to remember. Before going I read a few negative reports but went with an open mind, now having been ,I cant understand what they found wrong with this resort.... more

Visit to Hotel Tainos with Thomas Cook 20th June 2007. First of all the tips: Make sure your travel agent sends you a Visa to enter Cuba with your Tickets. Ours didn’t and the documentation said ‘no visa required – visa information last updated on 11.2.08). We arrived at Manchester at 7.45 for the 9.30 flight. Queued for 35 minutes... more
