We booked our trip through AirCanada Vacations as a spontaneous one to celebrate a 35th anniversary. This was our first trip to Cuba (won't be our last) and the simplest way to put our experience is that we truly believe this resort deserves the 5 star rating it carries. The place not only looks great with well kept grounds and... more

Paradisus Princesa del Mar .Veradero,Cuba Very nice resort with excellent scenery.Some of the staff are very friendly and helpful. We tipped the maid that took care of our room,apparently it wasn't enough for her to keep beer in our mini fridge. Supplies at the resort are limited,as they ran out of something everyday. Management needs to be trained to actually... more

Varadero: Paradisus Princesa del Mar Date: June 20 - 27, 2008 Reviewer: Mireille, Vancouver, Canada This is a beautiful adults only Resort. We had a wonderful stay in a junior suite.

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

We travelled from Havana to Varadero by coach on 21st June for an 11 nights stay at the PPDM and we were the last of a few drop offs and every time someone got dropped off, the hotel was more grand than the last so we were slightly optimistic that ours maybe nice…… Nice!!!!
