The hotel

If family holidays are about building memories together, Iberostar Selection Varadero has all the tools you need. Arguably the finest family escape in Varadero, it sprawls along the powdery sand, so you get ample space to build sandcastles and paddle together. Backing the beach, its gardens feature pools with opulent touches like a rotunda, and its guest rooms spread through 11 buildings. You’ll never be short of something to do, with tennis, kayaking, and archery among its sports. And, while little ones are having fun at their Star Camp, you can indulge in the spa, before reuniting for evenings of colourful Cuban shows and dancing.

All 5 star resorts in Varadero offer many of the same amenities such as this one does from lobster, foam & beach parties, spectacular shows, champagne, water ballet etc, however what sets the Iberostar Varadero apart is the calibre of the staff. From the concierge staff to everyone in hospitality you will only receive stellar service but Kudos goes to the Animación Team. Special mention to DENNIS for representing the Iberostar Brand with a SMILE at all times. He is next level genuine and friendly yet professional. His magnetic personality sets him apart. This is what keeps us returning (6th visit to this resort but been to over 10 other ones in Varadero). See you in February! Read less

Very rarely do we go back to the same resort, but as we had such a great time last year we decided to return this year...and it was great again. Staff are amazing, entertainment great and the food without doubt the best we have ever had in Cuba. The refurbished buffet restaurant is a delight, bright, spacious. It takes dining to a new level

My wife and I have been to many all inclusive resorts, and by far Iberostar selection Varadero exceeded our expectations. The resort layout is very comfortable andeasy to get around. Very clean and updated, the rooms are spacious, bright and clean. All the amenities close and easy to find. Food was a wide variety of beef, chicken,pork, and seafood cooked fresh before your eyes. It was excellent drinks are very good not watered down. The services was absolutely amazing. The management (Arnold ) was very helpful down to earth and very friendly. Reception staff work tirelessly to ensure a pleasant stay. Our main highlight of the stay was Carlos guest services at the beach, an amazing intelegent young man that made sure we were comfortable and attended to all our needs from food and drinks at the VIP section at the beach. The professional bar tenders that made excellent drinks, and hats off to Adrian and Ela at the lobby bar for great service. Entertainment staff, Alfred, chocolate and all entertainment staff that worked day and night putting on shows that we never seen like them anywhere else. In my opinion Iberostar ratting is second to none. Read less
