 | |  |  | Coralia Club Playa De Oro: not a 4 star | Tip Rating:    Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
I just came back from Cuba, July 2005
Reception at hotel: Long lines ups and did not get requested room. Next morning , was able to change room, great view. Front desk staff not very quick and helpful.
Rooms: Very clean. No issues, however, very basic for a 4 star (i.e.: no Kleenex/tissue, no bottled water, empty fridge, no conditioner or moisturizer, glasses not wrapped, no clock, etc..)
Facilities: good location, nice size hotel, well laid out. Entertainment and animation was good. Discothčque however was not busy, very bad smell (musty) and played same music mix every night. Bar choice also very limited there.
beach: Excellent, although lots of broken chairs and difficult to get an sun umbrella/papalpa
Bars: staff not friendly, had to wait numerous minutes before being server, while they tended to other things like cleaning counters, filling ice buckets...They are not client oriented at all. You advertise that the beach bar has beer/wines, but not so.
Restaurant: this is the worst part of this hotel. Definitely not 4 star. Same items for breakfast, repetitious buffet, the grill at the Rancho only has chicken thighs (no white meat) meats are not tender, overall food very bland. The pool snack bar serves cold hot dogs, with ketchup, mustard, mayo diluted with water. Toasters in the morning was either burning bread or not toasting at all. Whenever they were good items (such as tortellini one night) it would be gone within minutes as word went around that that item was good. Prosciuto was cut by an attendant, not thinly as it should be but in 1/4 slices...try to chew that !...Overall, food was not appealing, not tasty, lacked variety...I'm not a difficult person and usually can eat everywhere/almost anything, but with some elementary food preparation...
Last thing..noticed that if you tipped, you get attention. (bar attendant, waiter, etc..) which I believe should not be necessary to be served normaly in an all inclusive resort.
beach, but then again , most varadero hotel have it too Leave a Comment Theme: HotelAddress: Coralia Club Playa De Oro

In Varadero, we stayed at Superclubs Puntarena. This is not a new hotel but is extremely well maintained and spotless. We couldn't imagine friendlier staff anywhere. The resort is comprised of two 'towers', one called Puntarena and the other Paradiso. They are situated at either end of the property with all the amenities located in between. The food is excellent with a choice of a buffet restaurant in each tower, an a la carte restaurant in each tower, an outdoor grill, an ice cream bar and a snack bar with a surprisingly North American menu (pizza, fries, BLT, hot dogs, subs and burgers). There are seven bars with two that are open 24hrs. There are a large number of organized activities (optional of course) plus many water oriented activities from paddle boats to catamarans etc. that are included. Any motorized recreation devices are by fee. All in all an extremely comfortable and friendly place.
Book an oceanview room and wake up every morning to the golden glow of the sun on the beach outside your window. The rooms are not elaborate but very nice just the same. Ceramic tile floors and cool colours seem to be very popular. Each room has a safe, although anything left out was never touched. There are gift shops and beachwear shops. Cigars and rum are also sold in the stores in the resort. An exercise gym is well equipped and handy when trying to burn off some of the exotic food and drinks that are available. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelDirections: The resort is at the western end of the peninsula, bordered by the canal on its' western side. This location affords you all the pleasures of the beach, but without a lot of people from other resorts on the beach.
