Hotel Barlovento Reviews: "GOOD TRIP" user a CubaHotelReservation.com user, canada - date posted: April 27, 2008
Great trip for a week. The hotel is really good and clean. Cuban food is very good but quite different from Canadian food. If you want Canadian food, better to stay in Canada. The staff is very friendly, 80% of the guests are French. We went for a safari in jeep (great). Good gifts to bring for the staff is nail polish, lipstick, makeup, perfumes. We like the vacations so much we are sure to return. From the hotel to the city is only 5 minutes. Great. Linda and Chantale Alma

Es increible la amabilidad que dan los trabajadores de ese hotel sin saber a veces si van a obtener alguna retribucion por el buen trato y en especial resalto la agradable sonrrisa de una simpatica camarera de el bar playa (la china) quien nos mantubo casi durante una semana en ese bar como si fuerasmos familia y lo sorprendente fue que esa amabilidad fue para todos los turistas iguales y yo y mi esposa pensabamos que era muy personalisado para nosotros.Me encantaria que se le hiciera alguna mencion a los mojitos que en particular prepara ella en el bar playa.Y algo que resaltar es la seguridad y el trato humano de los trabajadores de ese hotel. En realidad se los recomiendo a todos los que no tienen informacion sobre hoteles.

Hotel Barlovento Reviews: "best resort in varadero" user a CubaHotelReservation.com user, canada - date posted: March 16, 2008
I've been to cuba 3 times , in different resorts every time... Barlovento was the smallest , rated the lowest , but surprisingly it was the best resort of all by far. Very clean, excelent staff and service, and the best location. The food was as good as any of the other resorts....but the location is perfect for walking the town at night and trying outside restaurants. I recommend this resort to anyone and will return next time I go to varadero. Not sure how the resorts are rated exactly but this one is totally under rated. It deserves a much better rating. Cleanliness is key , and most places are lacking that, even the 5 star places. The staff here was unbelievably friendly , where other resorts they were overworked and grumpy to people.

Hotel Barlovento Reviews: "What an amazing staff!" user a CubaHotelReservation.com user, canada - date posted: March 15, 2008
I am just returning for the second time in 2008 from the Barlovento in Varadero, Cuba and I have nothing but rave reviews of the staff and the hotel! This hotel is clean and attractive but the staff is the shining star for sure! The first trip in February 2008, I was accompanied by 4 of my girlfriends and we had such a wonderful time! We enjoyed all of the staff who are very warm and friendly and incredibly helpful - I have nothing but the deepest respect for all of the staff here. I loved it so much, that I returned for a second trip in March 2008 and this time I travelled with my teenage daughter. We were both amazed at how helpful, friendly and inviting the staff are at this hotel! Particularly the Animacion staff of Yovani, Alberto, Leticia, Regla, Alex, Legna and Dinorah - we were awed by how incredibly accomodating this staff was to us! We love them all and we would love to thank each of them personally for making our vacation incredible!
The food at the Barlovento is better than most other foods we ate in both of my trips to Varadaro (we did try some local cuisine to compare to it and it certainly doesn't compare). Food is not a huge factor for Cuba overall as we discovered on a day trip to La Habana as well - it's either very bland or very salty (to be fair, I am a chef and restaurant owner myself, so I can be a bit of a critic). At the Barlovento, however, the Mexican restaurant called El Cactus, the food was always well above par - and the staff of Ramone, Mango aka Junio, and Yanet went above and beyond the call of duty! The beach grill for lunch was always excellent with Chef Luis being exceptionally helpful and pleasant. The Creole restaurant was very tasty and for those travelling as a couple, this restaurant is also very romantic. The buffet hacienda restaurant was so/so but if you choose wisely, the omelettes are made a la minute and are always very tasty (I would recommend bringing ketchup from outside Cuba for ketchup conneseiurs, lol) We encountered many servers during my two trips to the Barlovento but shining above them all was Annabel who I made efforts to find and have her serve us during our stays -- what a lovely person! Thank you Annabel!! Muuaahh!
There are 4 bars at the Barlovento with rotating staff but I would really like to thank Teo, Josehp, Hilda, Miquel, Jaquelin, Gretel, Javier, Joel, Pelly, Leo and last but not least, La China for making both my trip in Feb and my trip in March amazing! They were incredibly welcoming and, not only did they remember me, but they went out of their way to make each and every day special for me/us!
Thank you, my Barlovento/Cuba friends and we wish God's blessings on you forever! You have created wonderful memories for us that we will treasure always!!!! I hope that you will make sure to thank your staff personally for me and I will definitely return many times to the Barlovento!
Sincerely, Darlene Whitmore

Hotel Barlovento Reviews: "Just back" user a CubaHotelReservation.com user, netherlands - date posted: September 21, 2006
We just got back from a one week stay at the Barlovento hotel. We had a fantastic time there. The rooms were good and clean, the staff was very friendly and the meals in the mexican restaurant were perfect.
The meals in the buffet restaurant did not have a lot of variety, but were still fine.
If we go back to Cuba, we will definitly come back to the Barlovento hotel.
As for excursions: the catamaran trip (crucero del sol) and the trip to Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Topes de Collenates and Santa Clara were excellent!

Hotel Barlovento Reviews: "The Barlovento lived up to our expectations!" user a CubaHotelReservation.com user, canada - date posted: April 23, 2006
My boyfriend and I just spent a week at the Barlovento from April 13 until the 20th. We had a great time. The resort was small and beautiful, with three great swimming pools and 4 great bar areas. Most of the staff was really friendly and we really enjoyed the uncrowded beach and the availability of chairs around the pools.
The rooms were basic, but we hardly spent any time in them. The beach was amazing and the water was warm! The nightly shows were sometimes very impressive, and others.... kind of boring. The resort was really quiet after the shows ended, not too much partying. The best part of the Barlovento was the location. It is right at the beginning of the downtown strip and conveniently located near the markets and restaurants. We went to the Italian restaurant across the street twice and it was tasty. The snack bars were also impressive.
The food at the Barlovento was okay. The buffet got old very quickly and I ended up eating a lot of cheese and fruit. The Mexican restaurant was our favorite and the service there was amazing. Don't be surprised if everyone expects you to tip, it's customary. Our housekeeper was also very good and we left her a lot of little treats throughout the week.
I'd recommend the Barlovento for anyone looking for a conveniently located resort that wants nice beach and pool areas and friendly staff. The bartenders at the bar beside the stage were our favorite!

Hotel Barlovento Reviews: "Very Happy Camper" user a CubaHotelReservation.com user, canada - date posted: April 13, 2006
Me and my girlfriend went to Cuba for the first time on March 31 until april 8 th. We stayed a the Barlovento and we had a great time. The beach was very nice and we never had a probleme getting a chair on the beach. The employees of the resort were very nice and polite. The only little thing his that if you want to have a great meal you are going to be dissapointed. The food was ok but not great. The mexican dinner was the best one we had there. The place was amazingly CLEAN.
