We had a rest in November 2024, the hotel is old, the food is average, the animation is weak, it will be a bit boring for young people. Nearby is the Roc arenas Varadero Hotel, which is more fun and satisfying.The Brizas del Caribe hotel has two buildings, North and South, we took the south one, but it was closed for repairs, we settled in the North One on the 4th floor, the room is good but tired. The staff is very attentive and friendly, almost everyone at the reception speaks tolerable Russian, in general, if you are interested in nature and travel, you can stay at the hotel. We stayed for 12 days and didn't regret choosing a hotel.

We had a rest in November 2024. Normal. Russian is spoken at the reception. The staff is good. There are 2 bars in the lobby. One 24 there is a coffee machine, they make good coffee, Americano and cappuccino. There are also tea bags. The other one from 10 is already there with cocktails and other drinks. The alcohol is good, you can find something that will come in. The pinocalade ends quickly . There is a bar on the 2nd floor but it has not worked yet. The rooms are normal, gel shampoo soap on arrival. Towels were changed for 2 days. They cleaned every day. I caught good wifi both on the beach and in the room we lived on the 2nd floor. The beach is gorgeous, the sun beds are good, the place is full. The food is certainly peculiar, but you will not starve to death. Coffee is brought from the lobby in the morning. And in the morning, the juices are delicious, and so only water is available from drinks. From fresh fruits we had guava, bananas, papaya. The rest are canned. Of fresh vegetables, only cucumbers and sometimes avocado, carrot, pumpkin are pickled. There was no greenery at all. Ice cream. Well, and something else. Chicken, rice, potatoes, pumpkin, fried bananas (delicious), pancakes. In short, it 's not chic , but you can eat . The animation was normal. The territory is good. If the price suits you, go ahead. And maybe it's better to eat this way.

We stayed at this hotel with our family from 18.02 to 6.03.25. .The choice fell on him because of the attractive price.The reviews were contradictory, but the hotels had higher prices available to us, and the reviews were not particularly better, so we decided not to overpay.We paid for a tour with a room in the southern building, the price was, in my opinion, 20 thousand cheaper than the northern one, but I read beforehand that the southern building was under repair and in any case they were moving into the northern one, so they didn't hesitate to pay for the southern one)) They settled us, as we expected, in the northern building, on the 3rd floor,room with a balcony ))In the evening we heard the sound of the waves)) To our left is the construction site of the neighboring hotel, our balcony was very close to it, but we didn't hear or notice any noise from there at all. (I saw in the reviews that it is advised not to take the 1st floor, but here it is also not inhabited, at least on our arrival and it looks abandoned) The room turned out to be nicer than we expected, yes, the furniture is worn in places, but it's quite normal, we don't pay attention to such little things.For us, the main thing is a clean bed and a bathroom, and we had it all))But it was inconvenient for me that there were no shelves or a small locker for storing things, there is a rod with hangers and shelves for shoes at the entrance, so most of the things were stored in suitcases. Very friendly cleaners, cleaned the room daily, carefully, regardless of whether they left a tip or not.Nothing was ever missing. I also heard that many people didn't have a safe, we also had problems at first, they said at the reception, the master came right away and fixed everything, there were no more problems with the safe. There are enough outlets in the room, but not all work ... (European and American type) Well, the condition of most outlets leaves much to be desired. The rest of the room is normal, they even gave us an extra bed. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly for a week, then problems started,we went to the reception twice, took new passwords and everything worked fine, we caught on the beach and even on the catamaran when we sailed decently away from the shore)) We liked the territory of the hotel,neat,beautiful,calibri often fly 😍two large pools and one small one for childrenWe also reached the southern building, which is obviously not working, there was also a pool with water, clean.There is a gym and two sports fields at the entrance to the hotel. The beach is beautiful, there were enough sun loungers and umbrellas for everyone, there is an opportunity to ride for free for 30 minutes on a catamaran, sailboat and kayak (we rode on all of them) pelicans often arrive.During our entire vacation, the beach bar has never been open. There was live music on the ground floor of the hotel almost every evening, and there seemed to be some kind of animation, which we weren't particularly interested in, so I don't know exactly how often.We went to a performance by the pool once.There was also a foam disco once, and on the last day there was some activity on the beach with animators, like dancing there)) We periodically rested outside the hotel, so maybe we missed something. Well, the most probably discussed thing in this hotel is the dining room.I read about the meager menu beforehand, but based on the experience of previous trips in other countries, where I also came across reviews that people did not have enough food where we could overeat, and decided not to pay attention, because we are not picky and were sure that we would not have problems with this.But honestly, when we first came to breakfast, I was surprised and thought that I would lose a lot of weight during this vacation. I don't remember exactly what was there, but there was definitely no bread, it seemed like there were only lettuce leaves, cabbage and hot food that did not make me feel hungry.In general, at the first breakfast, I, a person who came here with full enthusiasm and could not understand how it could be so sad with food that for me it would be a joy just not to cook for these 2 weeks, was a little upset.But my sadness didn't last long, literally the next day or even by lunch / dinner on the same day, there were more choices and after that I ate heartily)Delicious bread appeared.The vegetables were always cucumber, lettuce and cabbage, almost always carrots, beets, tomatoes (red), sometimes radishes.There were scrambled eggs and fried eggs every morning, except for one day, and the children also loved fried sweet bread for breakfast, which is made in the same place as the omelet.Of the sweets, there were always some apparently local fruit dishes, to be honest, I don't like experiments and I haven't tried them, but just as often there were cream buns, custard cakes sprinkled with sugar, delicious cookies I ate once, but I rarely paid attention to the sweet table. There have always been sausages, cheese, and butter.A fruit plate from which we ate only pineapple and the child sometimes took papaya and bananas (when they were)the watermelon was not delicious at all.There was also delicious ice cream almost every lunch and dinner.There was always a choice - chicken, beef, pork and fish, I ate baked potatoes once, there were always two types of soup for lunch.The children loved fried bananas, they were like French fries for them))There was rice and pasta every day.twice (the third time was in our absence) we found lunch on the street, where meat was fried over a campfire, it was very tasty.We went to the snack bar several times and ate peculiar burgers, the children really liked it, they never found French fries, although I heard from people who were on vacation at the same time that they were lucky enough to eat in the snack bar fries))In general, there was enough food for me and the children and it was delicious, but not quite for my husband, he said it would be difficult to hold out for another week..I wanted a familiar, homemade meal)))But in general, we didn't go hungry, there was always a choice of what to eat, and overall I'm happy. The main disadvantage of the dining room for me was that I hadn't heard of before the trip - it was cockroaches... fortunately, we didn't see them often, but it was unpleasant ... sparrows also fly, but that didn't overshadow our rest)) The staff is mostly pleasant, but there were also comrades at the bar who poured normally only for tips..but it seems to be the same everywhere in Cuba, maybe I'm wrong.. By the way, washed disposable cups are sometimes used at the bar ... so it's better to take thermocups with you, as many recommend, but according to my observations they are taken to all hotels)Unfortunately, we decided not to take it, but we got out by buying a 0.5 bottle of water and then using it as a personal container))) By the way, we went on an excursion with a Cuban woman and she told us that in Cuba they collect empty plastic bottles on the street, then pour tap water into them and sell them as new... so be careful.. A mosquito was seen in the room once, and someone bit the children a couple of times, but not much, but I don't think it depends on the hotel here, we walked along the shore to the right side to other hotels and saw adult men from 5* with badly bitten legs. Overall, we liked the hotel, but we have nothing to compare it with and we are not at all picky, we easily adapt to the conditions and try to notice the advantages))And the main thing in our vacation was the beach and the ocean, and they are definitely beautiful here, and I also really liked the hotel area, it turned out to be much better in real life than I looked at in the reviews!By the way, I also read that many people complain of poisoning, we have 2 children and 2 adults, this fate has passed, although in Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, we experienced stomach problems at least once on every trip, but here everything went fine)) In general, we have only warm memories, yes, there are some there are some shortcomings that should be fixed and improved, but in general, in my opinion, there is nothing so terrible that would overshadow my stay at this hotel, I would come back here))Of course, for the sake of curiosity, I would visit some kind of melia)))but if such an opportunity is not expected, then I will calmly return to Brisas)) And another point about the price, I have heard from many people-"we expected something else for this price" and so on, but don't people understand that the lion's share of this amount goes to an air ticket and comparison with Turkey and Egypt? completely inappropriate..
