“Our 17th Barlovento Experience was the best so far”

Our second home in Varadero, this may have been our best vacation (#17) ever. Once again our room was comfortable and always clean thanks to our housekeeper Clarisbel and we enjoyed hot showers everyday. The food and beverage supplies were plentiful and delicious. The beach and ocean are the bes… more

“Roc Barlovento – Value for the Price”

We paid $950 from Ottawa, and for that price the resort was acceptable. Overall rating: 6.5/10. Grounds: The resort looks tired and run down in many areas, which was its weakest point visually. Landscaping was well maintained. Entertainment: Repetitive and fairly boring, with similar dancing and singing every night. The main singer, however, has an excellent voice. Food: Food was repetitive but consistently flavourful. The bread was excellent. The Mexican à la carte stood out with very good tacos and also served a decent breakfast and lunch. The Fusion à la carte (beef or chicken fajitas) was just okay. The omelette station was great, and the staff member was always smiling. There was no bacon or orange juice available during our stay. A beachside snack bar served sandwiches that looked good. Bars & Drinks: The lobby coffee bar was excellent, with friendly staff. The lobby bar was well stocked with no major shortages. Wine and beer were usually available, though occasionally missing in restaurants. The beach bar had good frozen drinks. Rooms: Our first room (2nd floor, main building) had several issues: broken locks, non-working safe, no hot water. We were moved the next day to a 3rd-floor room, which was better overall. Hot water was inconsistent throughout the week, with low pressure and mostly cold showers. One traveller in our group experienced theft by a replacement maid, so keep valuables secured. Balconies are very small and only have one chair. Air conditioning worked well. Pool: Basic pool areas with plenty of seating and shade. Water features were not working, but the pools were usable. Beach: Excellent beach with lots of shade and seating available at all times. One of the highlights of the resort. Off-Resort: We enjoyed exploring Varadero. A horse and buggy tour cost $40 CAD for about 2–2.5 hours with multiple stops. Dining off-resort was great—excellent pizza at Kiki’s and a delicious meal at El Toro Steakhouse. Local markets were fun and worth visiting. Overall: Not luxury, but acceptable for the price. A good option if beach access and value matter more than amenities.

“Don’t go”

This was our third time at ROC Barlovento, and probably our last. Although the property and beach is beautiful the buildings are in desperate need of repair. We paid to upgrade to ROC Plus, I feel it was a waste of money. There was nothing “superior” about the room, especially having no hot water … more

Key features of the moderation of reviews

There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.

Our criteria for collecting guest reviews

After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.

When will my review appear on the website?

Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.

How long will my review stay on the website?

Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.

Can I get a reward for my opinion?

No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.

Can a review be edited?

No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.

Will my review appear on other websites or publications?

Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.

If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?

No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
