We had been to Cuba 5 years ago as our first "together" trip. When deciding wedding venues, Cuba was it! We enjoyed ourselves as much the second time. It was AWESOME! The staff (entertainment (Natalie and Chang) to wedding planner (Yanet) to front desk to bars (Yasset)) were great! Helped with everything! And definately remembered faces, which was a nice... More

Cuba was amazing. We all absolutely loved it and there were 6 of us in our group. Everyone we met on this trip was fabulous but we especially loved everyone who worked at the resort. We have vowed to come back same place, same time next year (and this is big for me because I like to see different places)... More

Landed back this morning, so I wanted to do a revieiw whilst things are fresh in my mind...... Firstly the resort is absolutely stunningly beautifull, smaller than we expected but clean with lovely well tended grounds, beautifull beach with pristine clear water, where you can walk for miles. The gardeners are so friendly and often give you a flower, and... More

Wonderful quality and variety at the buffet and many restaurants. We ate gluten free without difficulty. The evening entertainment was exceptional and fun with... More

Check-in: Our room was not ready when we arrived so we took the time to enjoy lunch and the scenery. It was a welcomed change not having to wear hotel bracelets like at other all inclusive resorts. Room: lots of closet space, a comfy bed, decent sized balcony. The air conditioner was not cool enough, even on its coldest setting.... More

We were originally booked to stay at the Breezes Varadero but Westjet overbooked the hotel so we were upgraded to the Paradisus and I'm glad we were. The service was excellent the hospitality was great everyone was very helpful. The food was good for buffet style but we really enjoyed our lunches at the racket club the atmosphere was wonderful...

We travelled around Cuba and visited all major places. Most of the times we stayed in "Casa Particulares" - so private rooms of families - not from the state! We were always very happy - the families where really nice and very attentive. Since it was my birthday we wanted to stay the last 3 days in a very good... More

This is a nice hotel in a good location, but a few things to be mindful of: 1- They charge a whopping £20 per person per day to use the basic Spa Facilities. 2 - Whilst the buffet had a good selection and the staff are very nice, the food was often cold and undercooked. Take care of the omelettes... More
