We stayed at the PPDM for 10 nights as part of our twin centre honeymoon to Cuba and I have to say that it exceeded all our expectations.

The Good side: Great installations and very good room service. The "Not so Good" The main Buffet restaurant was closed every evening No variety on the Menu at the restaurants a la carte. Very little entertainment. more

Once we had passed the passport checks, our luggage were... more

From the reviews on here Paradisus Princessa del Mar seemed to tick all the boxes. We holidayed in Cuba 02/05/08 to 16/05/08, stopping three nights in Havana and the rest in Varadero.... more
