This is the worst hotel we've ever stayed. We're in the middle of a compensation claim. I will leave more feedback later. Don't waste your money here go somewhere else. Very very disappointing. I am writing this to prevent other people going through what... read more

Solymar is not unpleasant but not special either. This was my tenth visit to Cuba - so yes I like it. It was also third time I had booked into Solymar. First time (1 night) drank too much was sick. Staff fantastic help. Second time arrived at airport 8:30... read more

Barcelo Solymar was a fantastic hotel; the staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to help.

The front desk staff were totally unhelpful to the point of rudeness. You had the feeling the rest of the staf... read more

I READ WITH DISBELIEF AT SOME OF THE POOR RATINGS GIVEN TO THIS HOTEL AND THE RESORT IN GENERAL. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FOR GODS SAKE ITS A COMMUNIST COUNTRY STUCK IN THE 1950'S, AND WITH THAT IN MIND I THINK THEY DO A WONDERFUL JOB

I just wanted to add what a wonderful resort this was. First Choice were amazing. Very comfortable flight with loads of leg room and an easy transfer.

We stayed in a bungalow and it was exceptional. The food is pretty good (though somewhat r... read more

We went to Varadero, Cuba last year for a romantic break together! We loved the Barcelo Sol Y Mar!

The people were friendly, the sea was clear, the beach was beautiful, the rooms were spacious and cleaner than we thought they would be.

This hotel was a shambles from start to finish this hotel ruined our holiday, the only nice thing was the beach but I wouldn’t go back to Cuba or this hotel just for a beach.

The food was appalling, they don’t know the meaning of hygiene ther... read more

Virgin Flights. Virgin fly into Havana which necessitates a 2 and a half hour transfer. Although it is quite a long transfer it was worth it to experience the Virgin flights. Plenty of leg room, free drinks all the way and first class service.

All I want to say the person before has said it all. It was a fantastic holiday. The only downfall I would say is that the food at the buffet is warm not hot and some days it was cold, but to me that’s the fun of holidays.

There was always ... read more
