The Iberostar Playa Alameda was highlyl recommended to us by the agency we booked with. I was hesitant since it is not located on the spectacular varadero beach per se but around the peninsula on the atlantic side. nevertheless we were pleasantly surprised by the overall experience including the beach, which was very pretty. Let me start by saying that... More

I visited Cuba for one week, as of March 30th 2013. I stayed with my family at Iberostar Plaja Alameda in Varadero. The location is excellent and I have to recognize that the colour of the see is magnificent and the sun brings you the expected energy, which makes you oversee certain minuses like the insect net blocked (so we...

We did not enjoy our time in this resort. We arrived late after a difficult drive and had not reserved any hotel. More out of desperation we checked into this hotel. The reception staff were not particularly friendly, warning us how expensive it was and maybe we should try elsewhere. We persevered and booked for 2 nights. The rooms were... More

Let me start by saying I would certainly go back to this resort. The pros: Our room was very clean (3rd floor, 13th block) no bugs, although we did have a gecko share our room for a night or two. Our maid Milagros was great and left us some great towel and bedspread art through the week. The food was... More

We traveled April 19-27th with a group of 8. We loved every minute of our vacation. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, great service, good food. There were many activities to participate in and we had a blast! Hotel was kept very clean and great rooms! Will definitely return : )

We were at the hotel the first week of April. I can't believe some of the complaints and reviews I have been reading. Some of it sounds like a different hotel than we stayed at. I never saw it listed anywhere as a 5 star only as a 4 star. We have stayed at many resorts in other caribbean countries... More

We traveled april 27 - May 4th with a group of 24 for our wedding. The wedding cordinator at the resort was awesome. Everything was really organized and turned out exactly how we wanted. They had us setup on the beach. It was decorated beautifully and the band playing was fantastic. The rooms were nice, we had a great view... More

This vacation was booked on a whim, 2 days before departure. The other place I was in the middle of paying for sold out and the next place she offered was this so I just took it, I knew nothing about it whatsoever when I booked. When I arrived and got of the bus I was pleasantly surprised and kind... More

We arrived late at night and no one brought us to our rooms. Lighting was terrible in pathways and in room stairways. Rooms need renovations. We are a family of 4 and they gave us 2 dbl beds, which are not real dbl size. They are much smaller. The beds are pushed together and you can not move them. Small... More
