We've booked a double room and when we arrived we saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85NWyvxw2kw - the windows were not quite closing (and it was 10°C at nights in Jan) - the bathroom door looked like it has survived a war - the tap was hardly coupled with the basin - the shower had an erectile disfunction and the hose was torn...

We stayed there twice, beginning and end of trip. It offers, what you pay for: nothing spectacular but perfectly okay. The room was clean, the beds good, the room fairly quiet (that is: AC-noise does not bother us). For a little extra (10 CUC) we got one of the bigger rooms (109). We reserved this room twice. The investment was... More

We stayed at Dos Mares twice during our visit to cuba. Our first 2 nights were great. Nice big room (209) with an obstructed view of the ocean but ok. The room was very clean and quiet with 5 windows for a cross breeze. The breakfast is standard cuban fare but sufficent to tie you over for a bit. We... More

The hotel is what you pay for. We had quite a big, clean room (we had to pay little extra). Theres TV, bar downstairs and breakfast included (Cuban standart). Beautiful beach behind the hotel. There was a a small lizzard in our room to be honest. They wanted us to pay for luggage stoage the day we were leaving which... More

Dos Mares is perfectly fine for the cost. Our room was small but quiet enough. There are very few twin rooms. If booking ahead, be careful that you book for Dos Mares itself rather than its sister hotel, the Pullman, most of which is on the main road and looked to us very noisy. More

We stayed both at this hotel and at the Pullman a week later. I would recommend this hotel over the Pullman. Like others recent reviewers, we found it noisy: earplugs are a must. I may well be better if you have a room on the inside (not facing the street (Calle 53, I think it is), but ours was just... More

I have travelled to Varadero 35 times in 33 years and this was a first time stay for me at this hotel although very familiar with its location and style over the years. I was travelling with a friend on short notice trying to budget travel this time and booked two separate single occupancy rooms for a weeks stay. The... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in Feb 2011. Room was clean, small, and noisy. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was fine. The noise killed me though. Bring ear plugs. Air con is noisy but it helps drain out the noise from the street. I don't think I could recommend it. More

The noise from the road was by far the worst we’ve ever heard in a hotel room. Lorries, coaches, Collectivos, Motor bikes, singing and shouting people could be heard until 4 O’clock in the morning and sleep was not possible. Even the use of earplugs didn’t allow sleep. Finally at 4 I feel asleep totally exhausted. Due to the noise... More
