The serene Paradisus Princesa Del Mar Resort & Spa is a romantic retreat on the white sands of Varadero yet doesn’t skimp on both facilities and activities. This is the perfect destination if you wish to reconnect with one another and just unwind on the gorgeous beach or on a cabana by one of the hotel’s three pools. Alongside a host of activities, including beach volleyball, t’ai chi, catamaran sailing and scuba diving, there is also a selection of unique experiences such as salsa classes, wine-tasting, art classes, cooking demonstrations and Spanish lessons that will really enrich your stay. Dining here is a pleasure with both local and international cuisine on offer at the numerous restaurants. Each of the resort’s suites are spacious and full of light, echoing that idyllic fresh Caribbean mood. Paradisus Junior Suites each have a balcony or terrace that overlooks the pool and gardens, or you can enjoy a sea view for a supplement. Suites Oceanview provide couples a few added extras including a whirlpool bath and a bottle of Champagne on arrival. The real standout rooms at the resort are the Junior Suite Royal Service and Junior Suite Royal Service Oceanview where guests can enjoy upgraded services as well as the use of a range of exclusive facilities. Royal Service guests staying for six nights or more will also receive free airport transfers.
This popular rereat has an excellent choice of dining options, friendly service, fabulous facilities and a relaxed atmosphere making it the perfect spot for a post-tour beach escape. Float your worries away in Cuba’s first and only janzu pool at the luxurious spa; explore the clear and warm waters of the Caribbean; or just lounge in one of the thatched cabanas or on the beautiful beach. When it comes to dining you can choose from buffet and speciality à la carte restaurants which serve a range of cuisines including Japanese, Italian, Cuban-Asian fusion and Mexican. Suites are set in a series of one and two-storey buildings throughout the resort. Paradisus Junior Suites are split level with a small seating area and a furnished balcony overlooking the gardens or, for a supplement, the sea. Royal Service If you’re travelling as a couple or group, we highly recommend upgrading to the adults-only Royal Service for your stay at Paradisus Varadero Resort & Spa. Not only will you have access to all the facilities at the main resort, you’ll also be able to dine at an exclusive restaurant and the majority of restaurants and bars in the Family Concierge section. You can also enjoy access to a private pool and beach area and you will have the services of a dedicated butler in your Junior Suite Royal Service or Junior Suite Oceanview Royal Service. Family Concierge The Family Concierge section of Paradisus Varadero extends the ‘Royal Service’ concept to those travelling with younger guests. There’s a dedicated family lounge as well as exclusive kids’ and adult’s pools and a private beach area. On arrival, your kids will receive a beach kit which includes a backpack, cap, sun cream and an inflatable. Even the turn down service is tailored to kids with milk and cookies served at bedtime.
Varadero is famed for its 12-mile silky swathe of sugar-white sands and jewelled waters – one of the best stretches in the Caribbean and a sliver of this is given over to Meliá Internacional’s beach, which wraps enticingly around the resort. A new face on the beach resort scene, this contemporary hotel is sleek and stylish – the monochrome lobby dotted with modernist sculptures; a gallery-white restaurant brought to life by oversized floor plants; whitewashed rooms accented with flashes of teal or purple. Choose a Classic Room which overlooks the resort or a Classic Sea View Room that have far-reaching Caribbean vistas from the furnished balcony. The Level Room Sea View Room is similar but with a host of other benefits such as access to an exclusive adults-only lounge. It’s all about laid-back tropical living here: wake to breakfasts of pastries and fresh fruits before taking to the water with a spot of diving or windsurfing. After a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool and an al fresco lunch, flake out on those powdery soft sands before hitting the spa for a massage to replenish sun-drenched skin. Later in the day, nab a seat on one of the low sofas dotted across the lovely outdoor terrace and linger over a glass of wine – the best spot to watch the sun go down in a fiery blaze. The food and drink scene is as varied as it is tempting, with plenty of restaurants taking in everything from Italian and Mexican classics to Cuban and Caribbean flavours. There are also 15 bars including toes-in-the-sand haunts, swim-up counters and lofty spots perfect for sundowner cocktails.
