Valentin El Patriarca Varadero

It was a great vacation and the service was superb! People are very gentle and helpful. They even celebrated our Canadian Day with a special dinner prepared just for us. We encourage everyone to come here and enjoy their special celebrations and shows!

Family and friends- a group of 12 adults had a wonderful time at this resort. It is a very pretty, well maintained property. The staff members are friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Front desk staff Veronica is a young, bright, bubbly kid (I say kid is because she is the same age as my youngest child😄) She helped us with connecting to the wifi. Thank you 🥰The wifi is strongest in the lounge area but once it gets busy… it gets frustrating.🤣 This, the property can improve on. The food was great to my opinion as I am a vegetarian and they have lots of vegetarian choices at the Buffet.Shout out to Souse Chef Loius for the delicious meals. He was always making the rounds ensuring the food is good and guests are enjoying. One advice though-do not waste time in reservations. The food is basically the same out of the Buffet menus except plated in a fine dining experience. Additionally, for all three fine dining dinner they couldn’t accommodate 12 people in one seating, so we had to be in two different timings. The entertainment crew was fantastic. We loved the dance by the beach and pool. The Spanish lessons. Thank you.🥰

I have travelled to Cuba many times. I find the reviews given to be either exaggerated or written by the owners. My experience was not 5 star at all. Starfish had a way better food experience comparatively it’s a 3 star hotel. So if you have food restrictions or allergies I cannot recommend this resort. Secondly if you have mobility issues there are no cart pickups or drop offs. You will have to walk it. Also the advertising is highly suggestive and no there is no ocean view. You’ll need to navigate to the beach to see anything. Pools are nice however. Staff are always friendly and willing to try to accommodate you in English & French. To the best of their abilities. I cannot recommend this resort. Dated March 29th 2025.
