Iberostar Origin Taínos

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.

5/5 . I loved eveything about the place. Everyone should come here The beach was so nice. Julio, Daylin, Wendy, kenia, mayelin were amazing. The prices are good and I encourage everyone to come. Food is too much and we happily got fat eating all the delicious food

The hotel is very cozy and nice in a rustic style with a big green area. It has an incredibly beautiful beach with the light soft sand and amazing ocean The beach is always clean and spacious, free sunbeds were also available. The food is quite good, there is a lot to choose from, but very few vegetables. Rooms are nice and clean, but every day we had a trouble with magnetic cards, they didn’t work and we had to recharge them constantly. Hotel staff is very friendly, always ready to help: Daisy (lobby waitress), Yudel (bartender in the lobby) are kind and positive guys who make you feel welcome. Jaime and Osdenys, guys from animation team are cool! Osdenys funny and active is the best in dancing lessons ☺️ Jaime is always positive and caring with a sunny sincere smile was doing almost all the activities (volleyball, aqua gym, yoga, fitness), he managed to do everything creating a great mood for the guests In general it would be nice to have more activities at night, like live music, disco and beach party, cause except for the shows in the stuffy hall, where is nothing to breath, there is nothing to do in the evenings.

The Iberostar Origin Tainos is a charming, small resort with friendly and accommodating staff. Here’s a detailed review of our stay: Rooms and Facilities: The rooms were in decent condition, with comfortable beds and good water pressure in the showers, although we did notice some rust in the bathtubs. All four of our rooms had functioning toilets. However, the resort could use some light maintenance, such as repairing broken boards on the walkway to the beach, fixing outdoor showers, replacing missing tiles in the pool, and addressing the air conditioning issues and leaks in the buffet ceiling. Beach and Pool: Finding chairs and huts by the beach or pool was never an issue, even later in the morning or afternoon. The gym was surprisingly well-equipped for a resort, although the towel shack is inconveniently located away from the pool. Entertainment: Daytime activities were hit or miss, and obtaining equipment like ping pong paddles or volleyballs could be a struggle. No games are available after 6 PM, so consider bringing your own. Spa: Booking a massage is somewhat complex as you need to arrange it directly with the massage therapist and then pay at the front desk. Bookings can only be made from 9 AM to 5 PM. Wi-Fi: The internet was intermittent, and certain services like the Apple Store, Spotify, Snapchat, and TikTok were blocked. Food and Drink: The food was repetitive and bland, but we enjoyed daily ice cream and snack options like hamburgers and hotdogs. Condiments were hit or miss, and the buffet only offered beer at lunch and wine at dinner with no cocktail options. Drinkable water was plentiful, with bottles refilled daily and purified water available at all bars. However, the variety of drinks was inconsistent. Coffee: The coffee was excellent but only available at two locations. The buffet offered only basic coffee, as specialty coffees are not served there. Atmosphere: The resort lacked ambiance music in the lobby and ceiling fans to move the air. The theater had no air conditioning or ceiling fans, making it uncomfortable to watch shows. Bringing a hand fan is recommended. Additional Tips: - Mosquito spray is essential due to the proximity to a swamp. - Canadian travelers should avoid tipping with coins, as they cannot be exchanged outside Canada. Also, ensure your bills are in excellent condition to avoid issues with local banks or when purchasing. Overall, the resort offers a pleasant stay with some areas for improvement. Despite a few inconveniences, we had a good experience and appreciated the friendly staff and beautiful surroundings.
