i loved the hotel and the hotel staff were all friendly goin back soon

The Riu Turquesa is a smaller resort with about 200 room or so. This resort was for sure a 4 star resort, with one resturant and one snack bar. It would not take much to turn this resort into a 5. We were there for one week in March. To get the negatives out of the way first; the rooms need up dating. The matteres was old. The food was good for the ...

The whole experience of Cuba, for the first time visit, was wonderful. Tour guides, staff, location, foods, beach, etc. The only difficulty that one might encounter is the walk for the bus into Varadero. For us it was not problem, but it might prove a hard-ship with tourists that have a problem walking. Looking forward to a return vacation.

The service staff are great. Pool is beautifull. Food was AWSOME. Been to Cuba a couple of times and the best food is at the Riu. Rooms are clean and handy. I especially liked the bungallo style rather than the traditional highrise you get at so many resorts. 1 min walk to the beach. 40 min from airport.

This was our first time to Cuba, the Hotel was great and the staff very friendly and helpful. The food was not too bad, there was a good selection and always something to tempt you. The beach was first class, must be one of the best i have been to so far, clean sand and beautiful clear sea.

It was our first time in Cuba but were prepared as to expectations. We were not very happy at our arrival, but certainly did not upset us for very long. We checked in at 6:30 am and were told we could not get into our rooms until the earliest, noon. Were told to just enjoy the facilities - nothing was opened. No tour around the resort which was ...

We had a great time, The layout of the resort was not congested like most of the other hotels in the area, the staff and service were excellent.

We enjoyed the food as there was always something at each meal that we enjoyed. The kids too had a wonderful time.

The pillows were not the greatest.

Would go back again.

Canadian tourists January 2007. Family of 4. Riu Varadero...Cuban paradise. Exquisite beach, wonderful staff. Little concrete, old fashion Cuban decor. Cuban, authentic, glorious, not commercial.

Rooms are one star.Rundown rooms.Receptionist needs training in dealing with people. The service is good only if you give a tip.The worst hotel i have ever been to.The hotel rating is not right.
