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 modern resort is located right at the tip of the beautiful Hicacos Peninsula and gives you a sense that you are really getting away from it all. With all the highlights that would be expected from a Varadero resort – the white sand beach (which is reached by buggy), the large lagoon-style pool and the numerous facilities and activities – the Meliá Marina Varadero also has easy access to the developing promenade of the beautiful Marina Gaviota Varadero. This ever-developing complex currently features a selection of eateries including a gourmet seafood restaurant, a small shopping arcade and a bowling alley. The all-inclusive package includes three meals a day at the main buffet restaurant El Pilar, and two evening meals per week at a choice of four à la carte restaurants, including the Latin eatery Don Ernesto and the Italian Don Peperoni. You can find a nod to Cuban culture at the cigar bar Vuelta Abajo, which is named after the famous cigar producing district in Piñar del Rio, and the rum bar Daiquirí. With décor inspired by the sea, the modern rooms and suites offer a calm and comfortable sanctuary. The colours of the world outside your window are reflected throughout the room with blue and white tones. The spacious Classic Rooms overlook the resort and its lagoon pool area or, for a supplement, the marina itself. The Level Rooms are on the fifth to sixth floors and guests choosing these rooms can enjoy a host of extras such as access to the VIP bar and à la carte restaurant.
This fresh and modern resort is minimalistic in style and features a spa, watersports centre and kids’ club. For relaxing breaks, there are lovely shaded spots with hammocks, or sun loungers by the four pools. A stone’s throw from the beach, there are exclusive areas where you can indulge with a spa treatment. These range from small rustic cabins to massage gazebos right on the sand. As you would expect from an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean, there are plenty of options when it comes to drinking and dining. Alongside the main buffet restaurant El Coral, there are four other restaurants, all of which are à la carte, there’s also a beach restaurant and snack bar. The resort’s various bars are dotted throughout the grounds, including in the lobby, by the pool and close to the beach – you certainly won’t have to move too far for a refreshing juice or Cuban cocktail. The rooms and suites are set in five buildings which are split between two different sections – the Hotel and Star Prestige areas. While the Hotel section welcomes guests of all ages, the Star Prestige section is solely for those over 18 years old, making it an excellent choice for couples or groups looking for a more exclusive experience. The Standard Rooms, which are located in the Hotel section, and the Star Prestige Standard Rooms overlook the resort’s grounds while Standard Sea View and Star Prestige Standard Sea View Rooms have views of the Caribbean Sea from the terrace or balcony.
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.
