Very small pools, mainly for kids. But there was a rooftop pool that was small but nice.
No where to get coffee before restaurants opened. Walked to OXXO & waited until 7am for it to open & got coffee.
Rooms were nice & big.

My room was simple but for my taste fabulous. Everyone is friendly. The main drawback was the skimpiness with supplies. No water is provided and only one cup of coffee to be made in the room without extra charges. Such small things that cost ao little add a lot to the experience and it is a bit miserly not to go that extra step. The breakfast is also quite limited beyond unhealthy options. Otherwise it's a gorgeous hotel.

We did not have hot water in our shower, food options were horrible. Location was good as well as the maid and bartender service. We would not recomend this hotel due to the very limited and poor food choices.

They had amazing staff but once we arrived to the room the door handle broke off. Also the showers had hair from the previous people that stayed in the room. The hallways that lead to our room were very humid and the whole inside building was just hot in general. I wouldn’t recommend.

This property has very little to do except sit at the beach or pool (which is great if that is your preferred activity). Pools are small with limited seating. No night activities. Food was mediocre at best. Unfortunately there are not many restaurant choices. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
There are paid restaurants within walking distance.
The beach is clean with good seating options. The water has a lot of waves and not great for families with small children.
No drink service or swim up bars

The property is very tired. The rooms almost shabby and skeevy. Pictures on Expedia look nothing like what property is today. Pool under reconstruction!! Really unappealing.
Thank goodness the staff was helpful and friendly.

I would not reccomend this "resort". The rooms were moldy and uncomfortable. The food was the worst part though. It was not good and we ended up leaving the resort to eat meals. At one point they served me raw meat and when i brought it to their attention they did not care nd kept serving it to other guests. So after that we were wary to eat the food aside from it being really gross anyway. The people that worked at the resort were so nice though and the location is awesome.

I can honestly say I was truly disappointed in this booking. For the amount I paid for you would atleast expect fresh food. This place seemed like a ghost town. The hotel is way out dated. The staff was accommodating but this place is just not worth it. Take my advice, spend a few hundred dollars more and go stay somewhere where you won’t find dirty coffee machines and glasses in room and a place that will provide you with good atmosphere food clean and modern.

This is for families only. Do not go as a single person or couple. Food was terrible at best. There are two buildings, i was unaware that the building was under construction. I will not be back nothing but screaming kids, place was over crowded with children and most of the time i felt that i was in everyones way. Very unpleasant experience. The staff was extremely friendly especially the people at the front desk. I give the front line staff top marks. They moved me to the other building that was not under construction.

The location is excellent, bar service is good at the pool, very limited choice of drinks. Food is good enough to get by but far from excellent. The building is dated, ac in bedroom didn’t work, toilet plugged the first two days, lights are poor, only one plug in in the bedroom, cockroach’s in our sink and under fridge, key cards quit several times. I would probably look for another place rather than stay there again.

I like the price of the hotel. I needed a hotel room not too expensive because I only needed it for one night as I already had reservations somewhere else for the rest of my trip. The price and hotel description of Villa Varadero met my criteria. The hotel would benefit from a touch up, a renovation. The elevator is old, and it made a scary noise as it was moving. The towels were clean, but they were stained. The breakfast buffet had plenty of options to choose from, but the quality and flavor of the food was not the best. My daughter and I didn’t eat our food. The staff was friendly, and the service they provided was good. Thank you!

We arrived around 8pm due to the time we landed. Our room was not like in the pictures. We had two double beds instead of a king. They offered us a room with King bed but the room was small, as well as, the bathtub and shower were small, gross and outdated. The shower sprayed everywhere. So we ended up looking at a few other rooms before going back to our original room which had very firm double bed mattresses. The staff were very nice and as accommodating as could be. Unfortunately everything was closed when we went to get food. We did find an incredible Italian restaurant called Portobello that offered to feed us what they could and gave us drinks and a bottle of wine to take back to our room with us. They saved our first night in Mexico. 8 stars to the staff at Portobello

What can I say? Food was horrible all the way around between three restaurants and a snack bar. Rooms were filthy and the bathroom had mold crawling up the walls. There was no one tending the beach or pool areas so there was trash everywhere. Game room was a joke. I wouldn't pay more than $60-80 a night. Basically you're paying for a room. It was ridiculous to have to walk around with a cup to get served for beverages. Sort of like prison. No cup no service

Room was fantastic for space. Beds are only doubles so my 6’4 husband was uncomfortable but we knew that going in. No way to lock balcony door so having a toddler in the room made this fun. Staff was very accommodating and friendly though not many actually spoke English. Google translate was my friend. Pools in building 1-3 are very cold. Pools in building 4 were very nice but the bar wasn’t open as long. Construction going on in the hotel right below our balcony, staff was exceptional with moving us rooms. Food options are minimal. Snack bar and 2 buffet restaurants that operated at different times so usually only had 1 restaurant option. Hot water was barely warm. Beach was huge and always beach chairs available and clean. There was birds all over. In the restaurants on the tables/chairs/ buffet counters. Staff was good about shooing them away but I’m sure it was very hard to keep sanitary

Lot's of appliciances or other things were broken or needed maintainance. Staff was very friendly but some bar tenders were quite inexperienced and sometimes quite tired. Rules were never enforced. Rooms didn't have good noise (and smell!) insulation. The live music was not to our taste and very loud. Lot's of noises in general (from playgrounds, etc). Beach was very nice when people there followed the rules. It seems like their target audience is mexican families from the rural areas. Experience was not comfortable for people coming from up north.
