Iberostar Origin Taínos

Another amazing week spent at Iberostar Origin Tainos in Varadero, Cuba. The amazing staff at this resort is second to none! It honestly felt like we never left. They have become great friends and truly make it feel like we’re all family! Huge shoutouts to Alberto, Yudel and Claudia, Reisel, Daisy, Brayan, Yanet, Beatrice, George, Rodolfo, Eduardo, Daylin, Yaremys, Leo and Jania! The main lobby was our go to for our morning and evening drinks, all our servers are very good and always willing to please. The bar staff were fun, very social, genuine and so incredibly kind! The cooks and staff in buffet area were great, with friendly warm welcomes to delicious cooked food and quick service. The cleaning staff do a great job at keeping the rooms looking nice. The grounds are beautifully kept and the gardeners work so hard to keep everything looking fabulous. The food here was delicious! There were plenty of choices for every meal . Breakfast buffet has eggs, pancakes, French toast, yogurt, fresh fruit and lots of bread a great cheese selections and much more. Lunch buffet was delicious my absolute favourite was the pork leg that was slow cooked and then sliced and finished on the grill in front you . The pool snack area was great for lunches or those late night snacks when one or 2 extra drinks were consumed lol, and it offered burgers, hotdogs, sandwiches, pasta. Supper buffet was excellent. Lots of selection from beef, pork, chicken, fish, all kinds sides and some of the best ice cream I’ve had! We stayed in the bungalows again and highly recommend them. They have a walk in shower, large balcony with two chairs and a small table great for those morning coffees or late night drinks. Rooms were nice, clean, amazing A/C and nice hot water, everything you need. The beach is spectacular! The water is the most beautiful turquoise blue and you have the most amazing white fine sand for miles. It’s no wonder that these are considered some of the best beaches in the world. And we got to see some of the most gorgeous sunsets with some wicked colourful skies! The pool area is fun and lots of activities and entertainment happening throughout the day with music music and dancing. The evening entertainment is so good, from the live music to the full shows that are put on. All are very talented! The bars were great. Lots of options and great service. They have the main lobby bar, beach bar, pool bar and the Rancho bar. We never waited very long for anything at the resort. If you’re looking for the late nights, you’re able party until 5am and bars start back up at 7am lol the bar staff are amazing! I cannot tell you enough how great these wonderful people were. I know I started by saying how the staff stood out and I will finish with the same. This resort was great, but the friendly staff that goes above and beyond is truly what will keep bringing us back!

First Time in the Veradero Peninsula, It was my first time in Varadero and I always thought that it was a small little town with a beautiful beach. This hotel was able to bring the expectations of Varadero to a higher level. The Hotel had one the best beach because it’s in the middle of the peninsula and you’re able to walk for miles to the north and miles to the south. The hotel was nice and clean, the staff were very friendly. The customer care representative Jania was awesome. They made our stay one of best stays in this beautiful country. The entertainment was always on, at the pool and at the beach . The night shows were supreme. I am looking forward to my next possible time to make it to this hotel.

We visited the Tainos from Chicago, and it was not easy to make the trek from the United States. It was our fourth visit, and we are planning our 5th very soon. We have tried 2 other resorts but now know the Ibero Tainos is our Cuban home! The reason is the people, having been to 50 plus countries, I believe we know when we find passionate and sincere people. We truly love the nightly entertainment; the ballerinas and singers make every evening; they are passionate, and to come out every night smiling and interacting with the crowd makes our stay!! They are the reason we choose the Iberostar Tainos. Rosario, Saine, Yordan, Evis, and every other employee at the Ibero are the reason we return! I hope management realizes that they have something special and uniquely Cuban in their employees. Trust me; it is not like this at all other resorts. Thank you for the experience.

Excellent entertainment...the Ballerinas were top notch. I would recommend them nightly! Great music and exquisite moves! Costumes colorful and detailef. Food and accommodations were good. Layout of building easily accessible and pools were awesome!
