The paradisus royal is a beautiful, clean facilities. The service (butler Rolando and isaac) is perfect. Small complaints (squeaky door and loose toilet seat) were within hour period taken care of. A highlight is the staff at of the pool bar: attentive, well presented, always friendly and not at all 'trinkgeldgierig'. And all inclusive is really all inclusive. Except for we tipped in the two weeks no cent needed! read more

The hotel complex is really very nice and by gardeners maintained daily. The international restaurants disappoint tasty but the buffet in the choice and quality of the food really good. The staff at the hotel is without exception friendly and helpful and with school english everyone well. The hotel beach is an absolute dream. The bathroom has gotten a bit old - the problem but you have in any hotel where daily sand from the beach in the rooms It was the bed however great. Wide selection of drinks at the bars and professional bartenders to complete the whole. The ... staff is each guest the same friendly, whether it give a tip or not. I liked to something, because the average salary in the month at about 16 Euro is! We had a great week. Thank you very much paradisus valadero read more

80 rooms at royal service and 680 rooms in the normal area. The cleanliness in royalservice was very good.
For breakfast we often 15 minutes on our Cappuccino wait, this staff in the bella mare is very begriffsstützig and extremely slow. Be careful with the lunch, it may stones in your pasta were hiding. The butler have only one point: tickets for your dinner give. During our time there were mostly austrian, german, english and a few russians and canadians here. read more

The stay in this hotel was very relaxing and you can recommend with a good conscience, if the royal area. A painful experience with the pool; i had a lot of 'joy' at home. Unfortunately we did not have a suitable remedy for everyone.
In the royal area there is the white buggies, with which you from a to b driven could. Be careful with the and exit! My man has himself literally the skullcap broken, so that we the cuban health who were, as the wound sewn had to be. Thanks to the director Antonio hernandez for its quick ... help to and in hospital.
Further i would like to express my sincere thanks to holiday check (mrs and mr h.) for their prompt and unbureaucratic aid after the return. read more

Facilities/room: very nice hotel with great pool area, well maintained garden, 55 2 stöckligen apartment houses and lots of space for all. After 16 years are all rooms in need of renovation, haus 18 complete. Our room (junior suite, house 12) in comparison was dusty and dirty (bathtub and hair, 2 cockroaches), on complaint was cleaned or rotation. Afterwards clean and peaceful. When booking king size -bed (mattress 2 time 2 meters) or twin -bed (ever 1 meter x1, 90 meters ) reserve.
The 5 stars are cuban stars, more but not in Varadero. Really all inclusive.
Next to buffet-restaurant ... (good and plentiful) still 6 specialty restaurant with an upscale ambience and for example classic live music, of which good: romantic, not good: italian and japanese, moderate mexican. Perfect drinking water (ice cube) by special treatment-no digestion problems. Beach: on the doorstep, large enough, many loungers, in the water initially sharp rock and mussels, sand was fine to coarse and unfortunately sand fleas! Nearly no mosquitoes.
Animation music: only at the beach, not intrusive, unfortunately from 11 hours -16 hours loud music, but you can on long beach by far. Evenings from 9:00 p. m. till about 23 hours at the open air -theatre show -program, fashion shows, afterwards peace. The indoor disco fun club (until 1 o'clock) always was ice cold and empty. Always happy live music with good musicians (quarter, classics).
Audience: from 30 years, no americans, many nice canadians, spaniards and south americans, more russians (without any problems), little german - it is only spanish and english spoken.
Value for money: good. You should the hotel but never online through melia. com alone book (for example suite 450 € for 2 people, with package 180 €).
Only real disadvantage 11 hours prior. read more

Have in this hotel after a round trip a week's swimming vacation spend. The complex as such is beautifully designed, directly on the palm-tree beach and everywhere on the complex you had a wonderful view in the palm beach and the sea.
The pool area is very generously designed and there are also enough sunbeds to the pool.
These are however optically not very inviting. So well, we had a towel which one darauflegt and it is better.
The pool is not heated, yes definitely not is necessary, is but unfortunately not very clean. The reinigungsaktivitäten may be instead of ..., but.
Whirlpool was unfortunately cold, already in the paradisus del mar was the case.
I can unfortunately not understand, a jacuzzi is only a hot tub, although the water temperature is available.
Unfortunately this was in the spa area so. Not comprehensible. These areas we cannot simply use, but only against payment and then the whirpoll cold.
Unfortunately the 5 stars are not the associated standard.
Especially the bathroom is strong to be desired. Duschebadewanne with operation, the unfortunately not very welcoming appeared. Water pressure so small, that it was difficult, the hair wash. Even after this of us complained, this somewhat improved but still not so, that it is a pleasure at the to shower.
The room (sea view ) was very spacious and we had a wonderful view on palms and sea. Unfortunately but it was not as clean as we had wished.
The curtains were quite dusty and unfortunately also not more with all hooks and eyes appropriate.
The closet was missing a door handle, allowing the heavy glass door unfortunately only very difficult to push left. The iron was functional, the cable but very serious.
Furthermore was not probably for the planting angedachte border of the balcony with sand filled in the many cigarette butts and old cigarette packets were. Must that be.
We think, if the manager this facilities a bit more about the details would be taken care of, it could surely one of the most beautiful attachments in this area his. And i believe not that one just behind socialism can hide. Since money enough it costs for the guest and staff are in this country not as expensive. It would therefore be possible clean attractive accommodation to create. read more

We had the royal -service booked with gourmet -restaurant bella mar. From gourmet was no trace to find. We were 2 weeks in this hotel; daily the same menu for lunch and for dinner though another menu, but also daily the same dishes and the same side dishes. Of variety no trace. The dishes were also dearless, tasteless and qualitatively inferior prepared. This also applies to the other restaurants in this hotel. For a stay of 3a 4 days ok-but not for a longer stay adequate. Beach the royal area = you could not into the sea go, since only ... rocks are. To the left or right a hike make, then it will be only possible, without rocks into the sea to come.
It was in january 2013 because a kaltwetterfront not very warm; strong winds and maximum daytime temperatures of 18 degrees.

In short: very nice and well-kept beach. The food corresponded in any case never a 5 star hotel. Lukewarm food (is typical of the country) no variation in the food, konservendosenobst or vegetables. However in other hotels the same class also the same food. The bar of course with the best cuban rum (this 5 star ) apart from that a great country. 2 weeks in the hotel were ok and relaxing. However next year prefer Mexico. read more

Cuba - we wanted Karibik and got mediterranean feeling. Salsa there were for lunch at the beach and with the dance for half an hour in the afternoon. That was it. Evening trötet a bad saxophonspieler' strandgers in the night', every evening the same program. In the 'disco' every evening the same songs in the same order-no one goes purely, absolutely dead pants.
Tried with the food - you can fish, meat and pasta directly from a chef make let. There is unfortunately gewürzknappheit, there is only salt and pepper, in a nursing home, more seasoned. And today there was ... no butter, but the morning then no sausage. I have not gained weight, this is what.
The staff are very nice and hard-working, although it doesn't bother me, for the smallest attention tip is expected.
The sport: the rackets without rubber coating, 3 billiard tables but only balls for 2. only a soccer and a Volleyball for 3 fields. The lesson is every day the same.
At christmas was the audience still mixed, after more than half of russian.
This hotel is way too expensive - it is reasonable value for money not. Cuba diffusion just too far and the general food shortages also proposes to the hotels by. For the money i can in the dom. Republic 4 weeks.
The great beach could not offset and i will surely not go again go there. read more

Mosquitoes and heng- hengs

Were royalservice. Pool service was the best. Rest was adequate. Hotel was great overall, but if you the price-performance ratio is, you would rather more under royalservice expect. Velvet ' butlerdienst' we have ourselves or often criticize, then things (for example. Defective) repaired. On the day of departure early complain, otherwise on generally room 14:00 taken away. For children not really suitable. Cuban flair we have in the hotel forgive looking for. According to our impression were the entertainers rather from the guests entertained have been. Motivation der' disco'mitarbeiter was zero, therefore always empty. Tip is very recommendable, but ... not in advance, but piecemeal. Havannaausflug with domingo, he speaks perfect german was really übersuper. Lots of mosquitoes and heng- hengs (bite massive) after council domingo we and with rum rubbed (it has helped) and rooms massive cooled down. Would and all go again despite actually too high price. Guests were especially canadians around 35 to 55 years average age in royalservice. We had bungalow directly (30 meters ) at the sea-terrace was awesome. Beach was rather stony, we went to beach (approximately 300 meters) from normalservice. Very many salamander (a lived in the room) bothered us but not. Varadero centre (taxi about ever 15 Euro) we were once, must not again his. Prices generally always absolutely clearly agree (for example. Taxi, drinks. Horse-drawn carriage). Without english is communication so good as not possible (german also in the hotel rarity) weather was up to 2 days, where it was very windy, alright had for dinner jackets for everyone. Bring sunglasses, since it so good as never to buy them (my broke and paid after a long search 65 Euro in americacenter ) it was nice terrace for coffee in the du pont villa. Trip with domigo after trinidat was nice, especially which we on the way there visited had, but drive is quite long (with vintage cars simply about 3 hours) price domingo (with vintage cars) we paid all inclusiveHavanna 200.-,trinidat 300-. read more

Very nice hotel, with many möglichlichkeiten the discovery. Architecturally refined bungalows, great room with outdoor shower! Definitely 'royal service' select, there is not only the better restaurants, but also kind personal care, also impossible things are possible. Flowers fast in the town bought, internet is free and the entrance to the own fitness area recommendable.
Especially cheap, the free airport transfer. Everything has in the pre-season beginning december very good, a lot should however demand, is just Cuba! But who to Varadero and somewhat more than hotels searches, is in the right place here. Guests international, canadians and russians, next ... to german and spanish.
Price comparisons worth it! Between 199 to 350 euros are possible! Tip in addition, the upper room in the bungalows are just light, quiet and the balcony with couch a dream.
Once at the start some tip helps always and also the gardener not forget.
Restaurants are all not particulary good, ambience plentiful, but rather movie set, the best food is in the royal area! At noon, the grill visit! Fish is sometimes a few hours from the water in/out privileges, fresh it is not.
Breakfast really good and not freshly prepared egg dishes forget. read more

Standard/general:
The standard is more like a 4 star hotel. We were in the hotel alamada Iberostar, the very good with the paradisus good and at just 4 stars. The sanitary facilities in the bathroom were old and a 5 star hotel not appropriate. Everything else was perfect! Great, large room, nicely furnished, lots of space! The area is very extensive and green, very well-kept!
Beach/sea:
The beach is but here can't be beat! The bay in front of the hotel there is a dream! It is hundreds of meters shallow into the water, meaning you can and see to ... the bottom! A karbischer tükisgrüner dream! There are enough chairs present and it's not allowed to reserve chairs, has here but also no one necessary, because you'll have the spoilt for choice, where you want to lie.
A great choice of meals and delicious food. You have to, since it was often fresh on the grill prepared, some time.
After the check-out we were a shower in a aneder room, unfortunately, there was a brief before departure a problem. Our key card didn't work, since it's a large area was, we back to reception which unfortunately much time cost to re-establish, that the new card did not work. Our collection through the bus moved ever closer. In the 3. try it folded, to our misfortune, there was in the room no towels and no hair dryer, so that we do not dry could.
Little later came the bus, with air conditioning and two women sat with wet hair and now hope no cold.
Oh yes, the luggage pick-up we have complained about the miserable service, whereupon a ' special-open ' as compensation for the inconvenience was done. Exactly how it will be, i understand soon by mail.
Entertainment;
Great sports facilities and the around the hour! The show in the evening is worth seeing. The hotel disco was rather a bar with a dance floor.
Conclusion all in all a great hotel, delicious food and very friendly staff. Sobalds of the organization is, mistakes can happen (see no towels for showering). If you overlook that can: it is worthwhile itself! read more
