<BR>Thinking about going to Beaches, Varadero early June. We have heard that it not quite up to par for a "Beaches". Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has been recently to help us decide if we should go or not and what to expect. <BR>Thanks.

Rob

Irene, we just returned on Sunday. Overall a good trip. Remember that Beaches Varadero is about half the price of the other locations so keep your expectations realistic. <BR>What's Good: <BR>Reflections Buffet <BR>Italian Resto. <BR>Fusion <BR>Pool <BR>Beach (really good) <BR>Lobby Bar (the best lime daquiris) <BR>Friendly Staff (they're trying hard) <BR>Comfy Beds <BR>What's OK? <BR>rooms <BR>Entertainment <BR>Activities <BR>What's not so good? <BR>Ranchon Buffet <BR>Disco <BR>All in all it's a pretty good value. The bugs seem to getting worked out with each day and we had a great time. If you have any specific questions drop me an email or leave another post. Cheers, Rob

Thank you Dawn and Rob. Rob, I don't understand when you say Beaches is half as much as the other places (may be it is where you are from). From Canada it is a little more expensive than the other properties. I think we now feel more comfortable about chooing Beaches, Varadero (if it is still available). <BR> <BR>

Irene

Sorry Rob, I misread your statement and now understand what you meant when you said Beaches Varadero is cheaper than the other Beaches property--my husband cleared that up!!

Toby

Irene/Husband: <BR> <BR>Please explain what Rob means by "Beaches is half the price of some of the other resorts". I still don't understand? <BR>

"Beaches" (the chain of hotels name) Resorts in Cuba are cheaper than other Beaches Resorts in the Caribbean.
