Bahia Principe Varadero 4 1/2 01/24/2004
Reviewers Rating:  Excellent
The resort is set amongst tropical gardens, overlooking a wonderful, pristine blue beach in Varadero. It is neighbouring Sol Palmeras and Brisas Del Caribe. I walked over to those hotels, and was dissapointed with my findings...so don't bother with those ones, unless you've been there already.
The Bahia used to be the former club med, and just opened this summer (03). The food offers a wide variety, large buffet, 3 alacarte's, Italian, Gourmet and Seafood. There is plenty of seafood grilled all day long on the beach barbeque/grill, and in the restaurants. Very good value for your dollar..
Very nice decor both in the rooms, and in the main areas. All new furnishings, designs luminate the hotel. A strong Spanish influence is present.
The main highlights:
The food/drinks
The clean, and comfy rooms, plenty of TV channels
The helpful/friendly/good looking staff
The spectacular beach areas (2 beaches to choose from)
close to Varadero, and Plaza Americas by bus or taxi 5 minutes.
Pueblo Cubano (live Cuban Salsa Bands on Weekends)
Safety and overall comfort.
I would definately return to this resort, but my heart is set on Santiago de Cuba. The Bahia Principe is ideal for anybody, except families with small children. There are plenty of stairs and the resort is quite large.
It should be at least 5 STARS!!
