This resort completely met my expectations. It was clean and comfortable with beautiful surroundings and a great connected beach. The restaurants were nice and the buffet had everything you could ask for...everything from French fries and pizza (excellent by the way) to fish and omelets cooked just for you the way you like them. The staff were friendly and polite.... more

I went for a wedding in March of 2006. The resort was by far the best looking resort on the entire strip of hotels, and my group and I all had an excellent time. The food was ok, nothing special, but you will get that everywhere in Veradero. The pool was great and the beach was amazing. We spent our... more

Our stay at the Playa Alameda Iberostar was great, firstly many agents sell this as a 5 star hotel , First Choice sell it as a 4 star which it is really what it is, Firstly we have never seen such friendly staff who are so willing to help you, they dont ask for tips around the hotel but its... more

I'm... more

Anyone who suggests otherwise is either unlucky or downright picky. We have travelled quite a lot in the Caribbean and the Med and I can tell... more

WELL all I can say what was written wasn`t in our opininion true at all. Yes the hotel is in need of a little loving attention... more

This was our first time in Cuba. We spent 3 fantastic days in Havana which I can thoroughly recommend. It is an amazing city. We moved on to Varadero for 7 nights and were delighted with the resort. It's very clean, the rooms are spacious, the pool and beach are fantastic with plenty of loungers etc and the food was... more

It wasn't totally up to 3rd world caribbean expectations. staff Friendly Cleanliness was high, lots of entertainment and some wonderful views. Rooms were great. A huge size and laid out perfectly.
