Reviews and Ratings
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.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The location was a bit disappointing being at the end of the Peninsula, yet offering beautiful views. The dining experience was enjoyable with a variety of options. The facilities were well-maintained.
I had a great view of the pool and ocean from my room, which was clean and equipped with a king-sized bed and a small sofa. The service was exceptional, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The location was beautiful, right by the beach, and the dining options were a mix of good and disappointing. The facilities were decent but had some drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although clean, started to show some minor wear and tear. However, its convenient location and easy access to various amenities were impressive. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a great experience. The dining options were lacking variety but were still acceptable. Overall, a good value for money considering the facilities provided.
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 location offers the best of both worlds with stunning views and a vibrant Marina atmosphere, though it may not suit everyone's taste. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of delicious food options. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of the stay.
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.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was lovely, with a small kitchen perfect for basic cooking needs. The hotel's layout was convenient, making it easy to access all amenities. The service was attentive and caring, and the location was ideal, just a short walk from the beach and shops. The dining options were varied, though some improvements could be made. Overall, a great value for the money.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the friendly staff and comfortable rooms. The dining experience stood out positively, with excellent service. However, the location was a bit far from the town, and the facilities could use some improvement.
My stay in THE LEVEL Ocean View Grand Suite was made even better by the lovely Yundita. However, the room could use an update to maintain its 4.5-star rating. Tipping the room chamber was necessary, but it was a comfortable experience overall.
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.
Staying at the apartments was a great all-inclusive experience. The rooms were equipped with large flat-screen TVs, clean, comfortable, and offered a hassle-free stay. However, some additional maintenance is needed. The location provides splendid views and some memorable interactions, while the dining options catered to everyone's tastes.
Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms needed better maintenance and were quite far from Varadero town, the service was exceptional, and the location offered beautiful views. Dining options fell short of expectations, but the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel sits at a slightly elevated point behind the beach, offering a lovely view of the marina. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and provided a nice view. The service was exceptional with staff going above and beyond, especially the bartenders Sol and Rosa. The location is good, a short walk from the beach and the parade of shops. The dining experience was enjoyable with a variety of options. The facilities were well-equipped and maintained.
