Still a nice all inclusive Hotel and destination
TOGuys on Mar 21, 2025
Blau Veradaro March 2nd to March 9th Our 4th time at this hotel. The last time we were here was 2013. We were given a room upgrade on the 6th floor as returning guests. The bed was comfortable, and the ro...om was spacious. There were both 220 and one 110 electrical outlets. There was some wear and tear on some of the cushions on the chairs, but nothing significant. The mini fridge had 2 cans of beer and a few bottles of water in it, which were restocked each day. We chose “Bay View” which is the side looking over the hotel entrance and towards the road. We like that side, there is morning sun and afternoon shade on the balcony, and you cannot hear the activities from the pool side. The Hotel and grounds are still very attractive and well kept. The staff are all very nice and welcoming. Although we were not drinking hard liquor, the brands stocked were recognizable brands. There were soft drinks and some non-alcoholic drinks also available. I would recommend you bring a thermos mug/cup to reduce the waste generated by the flimsy plastic glasses they use at the pool and beach bars. We were always able to find chaise lounges around the pool or on the beach. There was the occasional mosquito in the evenings so bring insect repellent in you want to be insured of not getting a bite. I didn’t get any bites, my partner got a few. The food was plentiful and there were lots to choose from on the buffets. Some things were absent but considering the hardships the Cuban people experience with shortages, this is to be expected. Breakfast buffet included cereal, breads and baked goods including croissants, smoothies, (sometimes there were less selections of fruit than other times), salads, hot vegetable items, eggs and an omelette station. There were sausages some days, but not bacon. Coffee was served at the table, and there is a coffee shop open 7am to 5pm everyday where you can get a variety of coffees. There was yogurt and milk, although I suspect some of the milk was made from powdered milk, it was quite suitable. Some days there would be items on the buffet and then the next day they would be gone. Items like peanut butter, prunes etc. nothing significant. The lunch buffets were plentiful and there was always fresh fish, (sometimes very boney) and pork cutlets made on the grill. There was also a pasta bar at lunch. French fries were only available at the beach bar where hamburgers could be had as well. The staff rotate between roles, and someone should let the cook at the beach bar know that one cannot empty 2 large bags of frozen fries into a deep frier and expect them to cook evenly or in less that 15 to 20 minutes, as I witnessed one day. The next day there was a different cook who understood how deep frying worked. The wine served at meals was good, coming mostly from Spain or South Africa. The a la cart restaurants were both nice and the food was nicely presented. The service was excellent, the wines were very nice. The customer representatives on the duty desk where you request your a la cart restaurant reservations are very nice and accommodating. We asked for and received some extra a la cart vouchers, as we preferred the a la cart restaurants over the buffets. There is lots of music and activities during the day. We tried out rifle target practice, and although they were older air guns, it was fun. Thanks to Larzarus for letting me take a few extra shots! There was also archery practice at the firing range, and games and activities at the pool. Personally, we didn’t like so much music at the pool, so we moved to the beach where there is no music but the sound of the surf. And the beach is beautiful with clear water and white sand. The entertainment mostly consisted of musical presentations and dance shows. The shows were over at 11pm and even though the lobby bar was open late, the hotel was quiet after that. We went into Varadero one day by bus, but there is really very little to see or do. There are some bars and restaurants there as well. We would recommend this destination for a relaxing holiday, of good value. A final note. On the bus ride back to the airport the host thanked us as Canadians for our assistance. Just visiting Cuba helps the whole island and is a major source of income for the country. We were thanked as a country for our help and assistance by Canadian corporations who help in their oil and gas industry without exploiting them or taking all the profits offshore. We were told how all the Cuban rum is aged in Canadian 10-year-old barrels, and only Canadian barrels, and we were told how all the food grade paste used in the manufacturing of the cigars comes exclusively from Canada. It made us feel proud, and hopefully more Canadians will support the Cuban people buy choosing Cuba as a holiday destination.
An amazing week!

We truly enjoyed our week at Blau! The beach is amazing, the room was beautiful, food was good and the vibe of the resort is laid back and fun. The staff was helpful, everything was clean and we had no sho...rtages. I would definitely return. Great resort for couples.
