Riu Varadero in Varadero, The Cayos, Cuba

Riu Varadero details

The ClubHotel Riu Varadero combines a beachfront location with a great pool scene and a lively entertainment programme.

With more than 20 kilometres of sand, crystal waters, and coral reefs, Varadero beach is the most popular beach in Cuba - and this brand new hotel has it all as its backyard.

Aside from its location, this property has a few other things to shout about. For starters, it's got three swimming pools, as well as a separate kids' pool. Two of the pools are big affairs, while the third is located at the adults only Deluxe Wing section - it's smaller, exclusive to Deluxe Wing guests and has a more laid-back vibe. Sun loungers and parasols come as standard, plus there are two swim-up bars and a couple of snack bars serving cocktails and light bites.

Elsewhere there's quite a selection of restaurants. Alongside the buffets, you've got themed venues. Down at the beach, meanwhile, there's another restaurant that comes with a bar.

Lastly, there are the bedrooms, which are spread across the one-storey main building and the little annexe blocks. They're well-equipped with extras like minibars, satellite TVs, and air-conditioning. Plus you'll get a private balcony or terrace as standard.
