Paradisus Princesa del Mar Resort & Spa

David and Yaneth Newell, CA, 2012-02-05
We just returned from the Paradisus Princesa Del Mar on Sat Jan 28th 2012 this was my 5th stay in Cuba and my third in Varadero (I spent 2 weeks at the 5 star Riu Varadero in Feb of 2011,I have also been to Mexico 8 times,Jamaica once Punta Cana 5 times also Florida 5-6 times,Colombia South America 8 times and France,Germany, Switzerland)
So that being said I did not want to visit Cuba after last years stay at the Riu resort (bad experience and way too long a story but would not return there after last years experience the resorts are walking distance apart but worlds apart when it comes to food and the whole experience) the Paradisus is the 1st 5 star resort that is truely a 5 star that i have ever stayed in Cuba and I have stayed at 2 Princess resorts and 2 Riu Palace resorts in Mexico
the grounds are well maintained and groomed the Staff are second to none they are kind and cheerful from the Butler we had to the Grounds keeper that had a fresh flower for my wife every morning (he would always say with your permission to me before presenting her a flower or grasshopper he had made from leaves that he had cut) The food was outstanding we ate at theInternational/Cuban,french,Japanese,and oriental
and 3 nights we ate Lobster at the buffet.... yes grilled Lobster, even the beach grill is Ala carte and is a nice change from beach food that we are use to.The deep fried Calamari was
the best we have ever had.(and we are a group of 6 and we all agreed on that) The beef must be imported because it was tender and flavorful deserts where wow and Spanish
coffee after dinner finished it off. 12 year old Glenlivet scotch while watching the nightly show followed by closing the disco nightly ask Yoel and the disco for a flaming Sambucca you
will be surprised at what he will do with it. The nightly shows where fun Michael Jackson night was very cool. I cant think of a single negative thing to say about the food/staff/resort
We met with the hotel director(we wanted to tell him what a great resort he was running) I told him I would write a review that was worthy because its easier to write a crap review
than it is to write a nice one Anyways would i recommend this resort YES would I return YES I am looking to see if I can find a trip back late March/April of this year So cheers everyone hope to meet you 1 day at the Paradisus Princesa Del Mar

I was very much impressed by the quality of the service and friendly atmosphere. Cleaning lady of my room, her name is Regla, did great job in taking care of the cleanliness of the room and bathroom. The food and service in the reastruant exceeded my expectations. Entertainment program was great, entertainment team leader Felix and his team did terrific job to ensure guests have interesting exercising sport program as well as deliver professional salsa dancing lessons. Thank you very much for your hospitality, enthusiasm and dedication to your job.

Excelente el servicio de Princesa del Mar (Varadero). Pasamos una luna de miel soñada. Todo el personal está en los detalles mínimos. Especialmente Rigo, Luisa y Lidia... Saludos a ellos.

We had a great time during our stay at the hotel. The food was much better than I had expected, we used all of the restaurants and the service was very good in all of them. Usually I do not enjoy eating in buffet restaurants but I have to admit that this was the best one I have ever used and this was due to both the food and the staff. Our room maid Maria was very attentive and did a great job. My favourite place of all was the piano bar where we had a great time. The entertainers in there were great but especially the Huracanes (Orlando and Jesus). The staff in the Piano Bar were so happy and busy and made us laugh so much, so many thanks to Yuniel, Yusmila and Sandy.
