Reviews

Cuba is an unusual country with a strong character and wonderful, wonderful nature. The comfort and coziness with which the guests of Varadero 4 * hotels , including the ones discussed in this review, allow you to forget about the worries of everyday life, get impressions from the trip and enjoy your vacation in full force.

If you came to rest in Cuba with your family, visit the hotel Blau Marina Varadero - reviews about it as a clean, comfortable and conveniently located hotel with cheerful and friendly staff can not but please against the background of a general, not very fun picture of the life of the Cubans.

Many tourists with pleasure noted the good location of local staff to Russian guests, perhaps the unity of spirit and brotherly love developed historically. Be that as it may, all the guests noted excellent service in the rooms and on the territory, the work of the animation team also pleased many.

All the guests of the hotel were delighted with the wonderful nature of the park area, and of course, no one was left indifferent by the large beach with white, clean, gentle sand. Tourists traveling with children noted that children enjoyed a special pleasure in digging into it and building castles and canals.

But this hotel did not suit the taste of any youth company and those who came to Cuba for vivid impressions of a noisy life. Young people should choose hotels that are closer to the center of Varadero, and the distance from the hotel "Blau Marina" can be an advantage for those who appreciate tranquility and relaxation from the hustle and bustle. Therefore, for tourists who like a measured vacation, the hotel staff is ready to open the doors with hospitality, to meet and service at the highest level.
