Arenas Doradas is a pretty nice hotel, the food there is...interesting compares to Canadain food thats for sure. But I didn't go to Cuba just to complain about the food. The pool were pretty nice and the beach is good too. The people there a pretty friendly..and spoke pretty good engilish...sometimes...It is mostly clean too...There wasn't much for the kids... more

Ok, we just got back. I would not recommend this hotel. The lay out of the resort is nice. The beach was very good. However if you had money you were treated well. The food was the worst I have ever had (I have been traveling in the Carribean for 20 years). The lunch at the beach bar was sometimes... more

My boyfriend and I got an amazing deal so everyone keeps say "...for that price..." but I wouldn't have stayed there even if was a free trip! This hotel is by NO means a 4 star! This was my 6th time in Cuba and after this experience I'm not sure if I will go back. I know you don't go... more

We stayed here from Oct.25th-Nov.1st. From the time we got off the bus, from the airport, until the time we got back on the bus,to the airport, the staff made us feel welcome. No problem with check in. Long line to check in, but you just wait your turn. Drinks for all waiting, which was nice. We stayed in room... more

The air worked although due to high humidity, the water condensed on the floor below the register. The maids did an excellent job of keeping our room clean and stocked. Food was typical, bland, and boring. But it... more

Just got back from a week in the Arenas Doradas resort in Varadero, Cuba... Got hit with Hurricane Ike which affected our 3rd and 4th days greatly, and 5th day a little. Can't blame the resort for the weather, but made a mental note never to go in hurricane season again; although one woman says she has been many years... more

We arrived in Cuba on August 29th, just in advance of Hurricane Gustav, late at night. Our Saturday was very rainy all day, but starting on Sunday we had gorgeous weather and sun. ARRIVAL: Our tour guide Armando was there waiting for us to direct us to the right bus. We saw him daily throughout our stay and he was... more
