bonjour à tous, j'avais deja fait un intervention sur le sujet de holguin, mais plusieur nous on dit de ne pas aller la mais bon .....
nous nous sommes fait conseiller varadero, quelle hotel serai le mieu pour nous, 4 gars qui veulent bouger, aller dans les bars et rencontrer des gens trippant !!!!!!
date du depart, 28 ou 29 decembre. forfait tous compris!!!!!!!7 ou 8 jours pas d'importance!!!
merci a l'avance pour vos precieux commentaire et suggestions!!
J'étais au Blau Varadero en avril (http://www.blau-hotels.com) et mon expérience est mitigée.
L'hôtel est loin du centre (comme bcp d'hôtels de ce standing). Le bus officiel pour les touristes (bus rouge) ne respecte pas tjs les horaires (déjà qu'il ne passe pas souvent) mais comme pour tout à Cuba, la solution reste la débrouille. Bcp de bus s'arrêteront n'importe où pour vous proposer de vous emmener vers le centre ("downtown", en cubain dans le texte). Le taxi revient à 5 EUR et si c'est une antiquité des années 50, le prix passe à 15 EUR.
En ce qui concerne l'hôtel, la nourriture était très bonne et assez variée.
Ma chambre se trouvait au 11e étage (sur 13 je crois) et malgré cela, j'entendais les animations jusque minuit.
Si vous aimez les cocktails, préparez-vous à ce que certains jours les barmen ne sachent pas faire de mojito car ils n'ont pas reçu de menthe...Bienvenue à Cuba !
La clientèle est cosmopolite : des canadiens francophones et anglophones et des européens.
Les canadiens francophones étaient relativement calmes, contrairement aux anglophones qui se comportaient comme des porcs.
L' hôtel est gay friendly.
Pour ce qui est des rencontres, les contacts avec les cubains seront limités au commerce car ils n'ont pas le droit d'être avec des touristes.
Il y a des bus pour les cubains et les touristes, pareil pour les plages et les prix.
Voilà, je crois que c'est un bon aperçu.
J'espère que je ne vous ai pas découragé 😕
Si vous avez des questions plus précises, n'hésitez pas !😉
Je vous suggère un hotel en plein coeur de Varadero, soit le Mercure Cuatro Palmas qui devrait être fraichement rénové en décembre, ou bien le Barcelo Solymar a environ 5 minute de marche du centre ville.
Aussi il y a l'hotel Amigo un peu plus loin vers la Péninsule, qui a une disco assez connu et couru qui s'appelle le Momba (je croit)
Salut!! Pour ma part, je ne choisirais pas le Mercure Cuatro Palmas, car c'est vrai qu'il est en réno et que l'hôtel est fermé jusqu'au 15 décembre 2007. Par contre, connaissant Cuba, j'aurais peur que les rénos ne soient pas finies...😉
bonjour nous partons trois couples a l hotel club lookea oasis varadero le 4 fevrier si quelqu un y est deja alle j aimerais savoir comme il est merci😉
ahhh dommage que tu y aille pas un peu plus tard moi et mes amies on va au breezes bella costa a varadero c'est un 4 étoiles et il parait que ca bouge beaucoup dans cet hotel la et il y a plusieurs bars a coté nous on y va du 10 au 17 janvier
I’m planning to go to an all-inclusive resort next April. I know it’s the start of sargassum season, but I was wondering if it really affects swimming. Do hotels clean the beach? Is it still possible to swim?
I’d like to book an all-inclusive trip next April. My criteria: 1) no sargassum, 2) 4 stars or higher, 3) ability to snorkel right from the hotel beach, and 4) safe.
Hey, I’d like to know which hotel in the south doesn’t force you to wake up at 4 AM just to reserve a shady chair, whether it’s at the beach or the pool.
Hi,
For my husband's 50th birthday, we're going to Mombasa for 10 days and 8 nights in March 2026.
I found a hotel, the Kappa Club Crystal Bay Resort, and online reviews for this hotel recommend a guide named Omar. I contacted him via WhatsApp, and he's offering a 2-day, 1-night safari in Tsavo East, a "blue safari," and a Marafa Canyon day trip for 400 € per person.
I’m asking for help from people who’ve already done these excursions because I have no idea what these offers entail.
Thank you for any advice you can give me about this trip.

Hi everyone, I’m writing here because I’m really torn—I want to go on a trip. A vacation? 10 to 12 days, maybe 14 days. Starting March 14th. I’m in a wheelchair but completely independent. I was thinking of going to Martinique, but apparently, the hotels aren’t all-inclusive, which might be a hassle. If you have any advice, that’d be great. Otherwise, I was considering Mexico—a long-time dream. At an all-inclusive hotel with accessibility on one level (since I’m independent but in a wheelchair). Do you know of any nice, budget-friendly hotels with activities in Mexico? Or Zanzibar is also an option for me, same idea.
Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any tips, that would be amazing so I can finally make up my mind and plan my trip without too much stress. I’m looking ahead so I have plenty of time. Feel free to ask questions if you’d like. Thanks for your feedback, have a great evening!
Hi everyone,
happy to be back on this site.
I’m tired of spending hours and hours searching for all-inclusive hotels for my first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
Can anyone recommend 5 or 6 hotel names that meet the following criteria? (I’m not too picky, lol)
1. All-inclusive
2. Adults-only
3. Beautiful beach and pool
4. Hotel for relaxing (no "factory hotels")
5. One-week stay in February 2026
6. A nice hotel (3 or 4 stars) but no need for an ultra-palace
Oh, and I almost forgot the main thing 😉: budget between 3500 € and 4000 € for two, including flights from Montreal-Mexico-Montreal.
Thanks to all of you for your recommendations!

I’m looking into November (first, will it be warm enough for snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh?) and especially for feedback on hotels. I’ve read that the clientele is mostly Italian or Russian. Are there any French-speaking hotels—or at least mixed ones?
We’re a retired couple and are looking for a hotel around 1,000 € per week.
We’ll be in Cairo beforehand and will take a domestic flight.
Thanks in advance.
We’re thinking of booking an "all-inclusive" trip so we don’t have to worry too much... for a week at the beginning of next September, but we’re torn between several destinations: Crete? Cyprus? Sicily? Sardinia? The only thing we’re really looking for is sunshine. Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!
Hi there,
I’m planning a stay at the Sian Kan in the Riviera Maya and was wondering if anyone’s been there recently. If so, are the location, welcome, services, and food still as excellent as they used to be? I’ve heard that since the train between Cancun and Tulum was built, things might have gone downhill.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there, I’m a 43-year-old woman planning to travel solo in early March. I’m not really into "commercial resorts," but if I find a place that fits my criteria, I might be interested. To add to the info in the title, I’m open to various activities, but ideally, it’d include snorkeling, hiking, dance (every evening if possible!), group tours, etc. I’d love to meet people (not necessarily a man—just people in general!). I’m not necessarily aiming for the cheapest resort, but since it’s spring break week and everything’s already pricier, 5-star options are probably out of the question. Thanks!
Hello!
What a pleasure to be back on Voyage Forum!
We’ll be in Venice from March 20th to 24th, and I’m looking (for two couples) for a hotel close to St. Mark’s Square—my husband can’t walk long distances. For four nights with breakfast, our budget is around 1,400 € per couple. To avoid too much walking for him, I’d also prefer a hotel where we could potentially eat dinner in the evenings.
If anyone has any recommendations, thank you in advance to those who reply!
We’re planning a week-long trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights.
We’re looking at staying from March 22nd to 30th: will we still be able to see the Northern Lights, or is it too late in the season?
We found a deal on Voyage Privé that seems like a good price, with a hotel in Reykjavik. If we rent a car, are there any interesting sites we can visit during the day, since we’re tied to returning to Reykjavik every night—or else we’d lose our nights at the hotel!
Hi,
I was planning a trip to Hurghada at the end of March, but it's the end of Ramadan.
Some people are telling me I should avoid it.
What do you think?
Thanks
Hi
I can’t manage to get in touch directly with one of the hotels in Prachuap...
like Prachuap Grand Hotel or Prachuap Beach Hotel...
has anyone been there recently?
or have any info?
Thanks everyone...
Hi there,
We’re heading to Argentina and Chile in February 2025. I’d love to know if it’s recommended to book accommodations (hotels, guesthouses, etc.) in advance, especially in Patagonia? Thanks for your tips!
Hi everyone,
I’d like to book 2 nights at a camp inside Etosha (Halali).
However, online, I’ve found two sites for making this reservation:
The first is the Etosha National Park site: https://etoshanationalpark.co.za
You can’t pay online there—you just submit a reservation request (enquiry).
The second is the NWR (Namibia Wildlife Resorts) site: https://www.nwr.com.na, where you *can* pay online.
Is the latter one reliable?
Thanks so much for your tips!
