The hotel

Shaking up the seaside scene in Varadero, the new Meliá Internacional has managed to find a spot on the resort’s ever-popular sweep of sand, giving you the promise of glorious beach days and hypnotic sea views. Its attractions aren’t all natural though – with more than ten dining and drinking venues, six spectacular pools (including a fun splash pool and children’s pool), the YHI Spa with its infinity pool and teen spa, and a boulevard lined with many of the hotel’s cafés, restaurants, and bars.

I can only say that our vacation was exceptional. Big thanks to all staff and especially to Maxel, the Level Manager, staff at the Level restaurant, cigar shop, snack bar and hard working cleaning ladies. All staff is simply awesome. The room, hotel and beach were always clean, The entertainment was fantastic and added a special touch to the hotel and overall experience.

Great hotel, pricey but worth it. The rooms were lovely clean and just as in pictures we stayed on the level which meant concierge service All staff really helpful, restaurant of a good standard for Cuba (remember not all food easy to come by so don’t expect Michelin quality) Whole country going into lockdown for Covid 19 and staff obviously worried for the future yet they continued to work hard and most had a smile. Great service across majority of staff and good beach staff. Entertainment was good possibly more adult oriented. Read less

Also at the beach Sergio would make sure to keep Moitos coming, he was very friendly and nice. This place is a nice quiet place to relax, the beach is awesome, the restaurants are all good, the only exception is the Hacienda (Mexican) the service was slow and the quantity was very small, but it tasted good...we where told afterwards that we could of ask for more, but I think the server should of ask us if we wanted more, it’s there job to do so. Very satisfied with our vacation, too bad we had to cut it short because of the Covid-19 situation, sooo sorry for you guys, hope to come back visit you 😉 Read less

This was our fifth trip to Cuba, 4th to Varadero, first time to Melia Internacional. It was a wonderful experience. The hotel and rooms were lovely, service was outstanding. I would like to send a shout out to the people who serve in the Cubano, for breakfast and lunch. Rosa Maria, Miryan, Nora, Yoseilan and Lazaro made us feel at home and very special. The servers at the beach were great, and the servers in the Blue Bar were awesome too. Oh and a special mention to the young man in the Tex Mex restaurant, he use to serve in the Melia Marina in the Level Restaurant I lost his name. I would think you should take advantage of his outstanding customer service and add him to your Level Staff. He was one of the factors that brought us back to the Melia Marina 3 times. We tried the Internacianal because we hoped to run into him again. We were there from February 27 to March 5 Room 6607 Read less
