We have stayed at Club Puntarena for the past three years and are booked to go again in a few weeks. Can't Wait !!!! We look forward to seeing our Cuban friends and making more! We spend our evenings fishing in the Canal ouside the front door of the hotel, many Cubans would join us. We had a great time.... more

The following is a list of things that we wrote up while sitting in our resort... 1. Bathroom lights don’t turn on - at some times during our trip, the power in the entire hotel went out... 2. Toilet does not flush – no running water - 1 of the 2 rooms our party stayed in had trouble with water/toilet... more

My daughter got married at this resort in January, and they did a great job with the wedding. Having said that, I doubt if I'd return. Here's why. The food was utterly hideous. I'm a food safety expert, and I was horrified by the mayonnaise salads, 'cold' meats, salad dressings....etc. etc. etc. sitting for hours at a very warm room... more

This was the third time my husband and I came to this resort. The first 2 times in was under Superclubs, so maybe that made a difference. Well, it was not much fun this time. Our room was not cleaned much during the 2 weeks. Our first night there we killed a cockroach and kicked it to the baseboards. Well... more

On one hand I really enjoyed my stay because the place had lot to offer, on the other hand it was frustrating seeing how much potential stayed unused at Puntarena. For example, there are 3 elevators in the building but only... more

I travelled here april 18-25 with my roommate, we are both 23 year old single females, and after reading and weighing all the different reviews, decided to go here. WE LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!! It was soooo much fun!!! First of all, yes there are down sides, but when you in cuba, there isnt' really a down side. Yes, there is only... more

W e went to Gran Caribe Club Puntarena MAY 2008, and i guess it was okay. Where do I start... My boyfriend (25) and myself (22) won this trip playing "press your luck" with a Toronto radio station Z103.5, so we didn't have to pay anything besides the taxes which was GREAT!! The service was good, nothing to complain about.... more

My mom and I stayed at this hotel from April 4th to the 11th. This is my 4th time going to Cuba and my 1st time in Varadero. First off yes this is a 3 star Cuban hotel. The ratings are different than Canada (lower) and if people did more research before booking this hotel they might have booked the... more
