Spent 4 nights at the Xanadu Mansion in March 2012. LOVED the location and room and service, but thought the bed was far too soft, and bouncy. Also - would recommend that anyone going there save ALL of their receipts and double check EVERYTHING against the final invoice you are presented with when you check out. There were a few... More

My wife and I stayed at Mansion Xanadu for 3 days over Christmas 2011. Fantastic historical building with incredible huge rooms, high ceilings, and balconies over the water. Great rooftop bar to watch the sunset, private beach right under your balcony, and great restaurant. Dinner starts with being serenaded by grand piano and flute music in the sallon, then grab...

We had a fabulous stay at the Xanadu Mansion in Cuba. The Mansion is very well cared for and maintained. Our room was fabulous with a gorgious view of the water. Since this is an older building, the shower did not have the best spray but we managed just fine and had no trouble getting hot water. The food was... More

Don't get me wrong, this place ticks a lot of boxes for me, but if you want to be cossetted in cotton-wool go to the nearby 5-star hotels. However, if you like the quirky, historical and totally unique stuff, then this won't disappoint. First impressions upon arrival were "awesome!" with the odd OMG! later. Huge bedrooms (and beds) and bathrooms.... More

We stayed here for 4 nights. The location is marvelous: one side overlooking the Caribbean Sea and the other side overlooking the golfcourse. The atmosphere is special: the mansion is kind of a museum, and it is special to have in this place your accomodation. There is also a very nice bar on the topfloor. The room itself was ok:... More

This hotel is really a pearl in Varadero. The beaches aren't that great and Varadero is such tourist place (like Cancun or Playa del Carmen) but this place makes the difference. They only have few rooms there and all of them have nice balconies and beautiful views. My boyfriend and I spent a night there and enjoyed everything. The dinner... More

Xanadu is the gorgeous mansion just east of Varadero, built by the Dupont family in the early 1930s. It was expropriated after the Cuban revolution in 1959, yet remains as beautiful today as it must have been at inception. It is also the home to Cuba's only golf course. Our group of 4 had lunch there in March of this... More
