Spending 28 days in a well-appointed Studio Apartment with a pull-out couch in this hotel was a fantastic experience. The rooms were much nicer than most in Cuba, and the view was breathtaking. The room amenities, including a variety of drinks replenished daily, added a nice touch. However, the price could be a bit high for some travelers.

The hotel offers a classic room facing the pool side on the fifth floor, making it convenient to access various amenities such as restaurants, bars, the marina, and pools. It is among the better accommodations I've experienced in Varadero, with easy access to all facilities within the single building design. However, some improvement is needed in the dusting maintenance for a more pleasant stay.

I was amazed by the breathtaking views of the pool, ocean, and Marina from the rooms, making for a truly relaxing stay. The rooms, though a bit worn, were clean and provided all the basic necessities. The service was consistently friendly, but there were occasional delays.

The hotel rooms were beautiful overlooking the marina, cool, and pretty big, allowing us to cook and enjoy a more homey atmosphere. However, there were mosquitoes inside our room. The service was happy and helpful, but there were instances of mix-ups with our order. The location was amazing but required a long walk along the beach to escape noise. The dining experience had limited options and cleanliness concerns. Facilities were satisfactory.

Upon arrival at the hotel, it was a short 5-minute walk from the main building at Melia Marina Varadero. The room I stayed in had a single king-sized bed and a small sofa, but it really needs a new shower head. The service was friendly, especially the lobby bar and restaurant staff, although there were some areas lacking in preparation and knowledge. The location, while nice, had some negative changes and areas for improvement, like the beach chairs. The dining experience was mainly at the beach or poolside restaurant, with some busyness noted. Overall, the facilities were decent.

Although the rooms were not dusted during our two-week stay, they were identical to others and convenient for shopping during store hours at the nearby grocery store. The service from staff like Lester, Rosa, Laura, and others was exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering amenities like car hire, 24-hour room service, and more. The dining experience had varying quality, from a lackluster choice to enjoyable beach and poolside options, with commendable vegetarian choices and home-baked bread. Although the facilities weren't explicitly described, the overall experience had its highlights and drawbacks.
