Whether you’re travelling alone or with your family, if you’re heading for the beaches of Cuba, you’ll never be short of sunshine and fun.
With summer temperatures throughout the year, the island’s destinations and hotels have an exceptional advantage in the diversity of the outdoor activities they are able to offer.
Given our commitment to taking good care of the natural environment, the properties operated under the Meliá Hotels & Resorts brands on the island provide guests with a wide range of experiences in natural settings, offering a better quality of life and a feeling of general well-being.
Here are three of the best-rated hotels according to our customers in terms of the fun and leisure activities they guarantee.
Meliá Internacional Varadero, great times for families
This 5-star all-inclusive hotel provides an enormous amount of variety and entertainment for guests of all different ages and origins.
The size of the hotel and its design allow guests to enjoy a large number of services, meaning there’s always something to do or discover. The large beach and central pool are the settings for an endless stream of games, cocktail competitions, dancing, sport, and recreational and educational activities.
Music and themed events take centre stage in the evening, and over time have become a hallmark of the hotel. The neighbouring Cabaret Continental also complements the entertainment options with a fantastic programme of concerts and shows. Although it’s not actually part of the hotel, it’s very easy to reach from the main lobby and a great addition to the evening entertainment options.
Meliá Internacional Varadero regularly welcomes large groups, meaning that its team has become highly specialised in organising events and designing customised entertainment programmes.
But there’s no doubt that the guests who have the best time are the kids, thanks to a wide range of activities, play facilities, slides and a children’s pool.
The dining options at the hotel are the epitome of creativity, where the flavours and presentation of meals and drinks are constantly evolving to create unique and entertaining experiences for diners.
And if you prefer something a little more relaxing, the YHI Spa awaits you with a wide variety of treatments and services that will make you feel like never wanting to go home.
Meliá Las Antillas, paradise for singles
Leaving the Meliá Internacional behind and heading for Plaza las Morlas, our next hotel is the Meliá las Antillas, an adults-only hotels for guests aged 16 and over. This classic hotel is the headquarters of one of the most popular events in Varadero, the “Singles Fest by Meliá Cuba” which is held twice a year, generally in June and September.
For the entire week, the Meliá Las Antillas becomes the most fun hotel in Varadero, with daily parties, beach games, competitions, excursions and activities related to local traditions. Singles events are a great way to make friends and forget any feelings of stress or boredom.
For the rest of the year, the hotel is also very lively, customising the entertainment experiences to the likes of the different types of guests that stay in each season.
The facilities are also perfect for honeymooners, who are guaranteed a very special welcome programme with fun options for couples.
Meliá Las Dunas, pure air and healthy leisure time
Three words define the Meliá Las Dunas: spaciousness, hospitality and dynamism. Large, comfortable rooms, a great choice of cuisine, a fun entertainment programme for kids, beach activities and experiences for groups are also on offer at this hotel in Cayo Santa María, one of the destinations that has also emerged in the last two years as a venue for great music festivals.
There’s never a dull moment at this all-inclusive hotel, which has an experienced entertainment team and leisure options for all different types of guests. The exercise and yoga sessions on the beach are very popular, as are the “white parties” organised around the main lobby.
And for travellers who want to explore the surroundings of Cayo Santa María and nearby cities a little more, the Gaviota Tour travel agency catalogue is available for you to book excursions.
