Fodor's Expert Review Blau Varadero Hotel
Carretera de Las Morlas, Km 14.5, Varadero, Matanzas Province, 42200, Cuba
This towering, sloping structure has the boldest architecture in Varadero and an excellent reputation as a family-oriented resort. Inside the peninsula's highest building there's an impressive, 100-foot high atrium, draped with ivy that cascades down to a contemporary lobby. Sports facilities are abundant, with a huge quatrefoil-shape pool, tennis and basketball courts, and water-sports facilities. A walkway passes through a narrow band of trees to the wide beach. The brightly colored, contemporary rooms have two twins or a king-size bed. Suites have a separate living room and two terraces. The first child, age 2 to 12, stays free. Be sure to book a room facing the ocean rather than the road.
PROS
- very much family-oriented with a great menu of activities
- 24-hour snack bar at the beach
CONS
- waits for elevators can be tedious
- especially with small children
- half the rooms face the road and the bay
- bit of a walk from rooms to the beach
