Hello all
We plan to go to Varadero and have looked at the Superclub
Puntaren in early June. We would be very grateful if
anyone has stayed at this hotel, or has any general
comments on the area (building work, oil wells etc...) We
definitely intend to go to Varadero so maybe we will see
some of you out there!

Hi ukcouple-22,
I haven't stayed at the Punterena, but have been to
Varadero before (3 times).
I've stayed at Suberclubs Club Varadero & I've booked to
stay at Las Brisas del Caribe in June.

You already seem to know about the Oil Refinery...as far as
I know the main problem is the smell (depending on the wind)
Also, the Punterena is a bit "away from everything".
Most of the hotels are located on the other side of
Varadero Town so there's a lot more happening over there.
*
Anyway guys, I've seen almost all of the hotels which are
on offer in the UK brochures so if you need any advice feel
free to e-mail me. I'm sure there are lots of things I
could tell you, but I'll be writing forever!
I'm off to that hotel with my boyfriend at the end of June (25/6) any tips you want to pass on. Feel free!

There is a new resort in Veradero called BEACHES. It just
opened in March of 99. I have stayed there myself in March
and it was great. Super modern, each room has a safe, there
is three places to dine, the food is great, volleyball
court, super huge pool. Great beach, and lots of fun, disco
dancing, nightly shows. For disco I suggest you check out
the La Rumba it is the place to go in Veradero, but do not
show up until after 12 midnight, that's when the action
starts. NO need to worry about security there are police
everywhere in Veradero, on just about every street corner.
THe HOtels have one at ecah entrance on the roadway. ( to
keep the cubans out of course). Anyway the island is
paradise to discover, the people very friendly and when you
give a tip to cuban staff members at the hotel a dollar is a
lot of monet, because they only get paid 10.00 a month, yes
10.00 only. So, a dollar is a lot of money to them. Tax cab
to Veradero from the hotel is 10.00 or 5.00 if you hagel
abit. Car rentals are expensive, $180.00 us f
Just checking to see what impression people have of
Superclub Veradero. I was wondering what the food was
like, facilities, etc.
...thanks in advance
Excellent hotel - I've stayed there twice & would not
hesitate in recommending it to anybody.

The hotel hads it's own disco. This can be a little quiet

There's also a piano/kareoke bar which is really popular.
