Varadero

Popular with Italian tourists, the 4-star Hotel Barlovento is located on a great stretch of beach in downtown Varadero, and is especially convenient to Varadero's shops, restaurants and galleries. There are two large pools, tennis courts, water sports and childcare services. The 273-rooms are all air-conditioned, and very well equipped with satellite televisions and other amenities.

Whether you stay at the Barlovento or not, be sure to have breakfast there at least once, as it has become known as one of the best in Varadero.
