Traveler Review By: Meristema from Lisbon
Date of Visit: April 2006
Finally after reading some contradictory reviews I can tell my personal point of view.
I stayed at Arenas Doradas from 5th April to 13th April. We were a group of 29 people in our early twenties.
We didn’t know exactly what to expect, some said they loved it; others would say ‘never go there’.
Overall I can say it was not that bad but if I had to go to Varadero again I would definitely try another hotel.
Starting with the STAFF, they are definitely slow at doing things. Maybe we are just used to stress and rush in our lives but a little more speed in their actions would be nice. Also, they are not very nice (there are a few exceptions) and they are always expecting a tip, ALWAYS. If you want a special treatment I strongly recommend good tips.
The ROOMS were nothing special. Beds are not too comfortable. I’d suggest never putting your clothes in the wardrobe; you would probably find a bug among your shirts or jeans. Many rooms of our group had problems with bugs. Call it bad luck or whatever you want, but we killed three cockroaches in our room. I’m not even going to mention the mosquitoes, which I think it’s quite normal in a tropical place. As for the rooms’ cleanness, it’s definitely very bad. They wouldn’t even sweep the floor. I found the same very hairs in the same very places after the supposed cleaning session. And we tipped the maid, imagine if we didn’t! Sure, she did all you can imagine with towels (like swans) but I would prefer my room to be properly cleaned instead.
As for the FOOD it’s not as bad as I imagined. It depends whether you are picky or not. I think the main problem is that it’s repetitive. As for the Natura restaurant (the one you have to book at the reception) it’s not worth it. Nothing special. The ones by the beach or the pool bring nothing new but they are good for lunch as they are nearer to the pool or the beach. The breakfast is good; specially the croissants.
The BEACH is great. Although it was a bit windy in the last days, the first ones were great. The POOL is nice too but it’s not as big as it looks like.
The ANIMATION was bit boring, specially the dancing lessons (lol) and the night shows (I fell asleep in all of them). Here we are used to a great nightlife which it’s something that does not exist in Cuba.
Obviously a four star hotel in Cuba it’s no more than a three star hotel in Europe, so if you want something really decent try a five star hotel… Nonetheless we had a great time.
