"Direct flts. were fantastic w/ Transat. Accomodations were good for a 3 1/2 star. Grounds could have been more colorful. Entertainment was sketchy and not the greatest. Afternoon events (by the pool) would have been a fun thing. Maybe need to revamp the entertainment staff. Not a big deal, though. Food was very acceptable, considering what you hear. Service was good. Beach was just a short walk w/ bar and snack bar available through the hotel-- all free. Close to downtown, which was very handy for days you just wanted to walk & browse and considering all the 5 stars were near the end of the peninsula and would have required taxi or bus to get into the town. Price was excellent and could have been even better if we'd booked a few days later. A very good vacation......." [...]

"My fourth time at this hotel. The hotel is under new ownership. I did notice the number of staff have been cut back in various areas (front desk, beach bar, grounds) and this did make a difference in service. Also, there was not enough chairs at beach; was the first time I had to rent one from another hotel! Overall stay was good, food ok, weather great, staff great! I will definitely go back again.

"We had a great experience at the Bellevue Palma Real. I would recommend this resort for a fun good time. That being said, the food is not the greatest but was edible and I would go back. The staff at the resort was also wonderful." [...]

"Although a ways from the beach , the hotel sit in a nice area of town close to everything, the service way also ok, this would be it with the positive. One lady at the front desk to check in a whole bus, unable to get a safe until the next day???, unable to get beach towels until the second day, don't ask about trying to get fresh ones, the beach has nowhere near enough chair where as the 2 hotel on either side (Cuatro Palmas, Arenas Blancas) had all kinds, the room are very simple at best fairly clean but in need of repairs, the food was not very good, the coffee at the buffet was also terrible, the bars and the Italian restaurant had good coffee and good espresso. Ther's one more positive it was cheap. Varadero is a beautiful location, if the weather cooperate, I would advise to pick another hotel. I will be back but not at the Palma Real." [...]

"This was our fifth stay at this hotel...it has definitely gone downhill here. Things are falling apart and some are beyond repair. It has been sadly neglected! The food was absolutely horrible and lots of people couldn't wait to leave! It was a busy time as it was spring break for some! Lots of things going on at the pool....I don't think I would swim there or sit on any lawn chairs as they were so drunk it was unbelieveable...sex in the pool, sex on the chairs, sex on the pool deck...yes in broad daylight! There was a fight one afternoon at the pool as well...lots of blood everywhere...not cleaned up...just washed into the pool! Sad that this is going down hill.....might be beyond repair! The staff really do try their hardest with what they have though...I have to commend them! Trip to Havana was awesome!" [...]
