🙂Salut!!! Je suis toujours à la recherche d'une critique sur l'hôtel Sol Palmeras à Varadero... Au pire c'est ma première fois à Varadero, donc j'aimerais bien avoir une idée sur les Hôtels sans reproches et qui méritent d'être sur mon carnet de magasinage... Merci à l'avance
je reviens de Cuba, nous avons rencontré des Québéquois enchantés par leur hôtel: le Villa Cuba, pas très loin du centre de Varadéro, nourriture sans reproche, apparement rare à Cuba, 5 restaurants à la carte, belle plage, et ils ne payaient pas cher.

Merci beaucoup d'avoir répondu à mon appel... Je vais faire une recherche sur le Villa Cuba... Je sais que côté prix il est très compétitif à Varadero.
De mon côté, j'ai souvent lu des critiques qui n'étaient pas très élogieuses du Villa Cuba...
Tu sais, le Sol Palmeras appartient à la chaîne Sol/Melia reconnue pour la qualité de ses hôtels et de sa nourriture.
Je suis déjà allée le visiter et j'ai souvent mangé là-bas à ses tout débuts alors que les "tout-compris" n'existaient pas.
Je te le recommande sans hésitation. Pour une qualité encore plus grande, tu peux choisir le Melia Varadero. Il y a aussi le Barcelo Solymar qui semble très bien.
Merci d'avoir pris le temps de me donner ton opinion...je suis en plein magasinage et ce n'est pas facile de choisir, je veux me donner le plus de chance possible de faire le bon choix.
Pourrais-tu me parler un peu du staff, courtois ? parle le francais ou pas ? et aussi de l'état du site et sa situation sur la plage de Varadero...qualité de la plage ?
Je magasine présentement pour Cuba, Varadero et voici les derniers prix trouvés pour dép. 08/05/04 : Villa Cuba : 1, 119 Jets Go Paya de oro : 1, 149 Arenas Blancas : 1, 119 Sol y mar : 1, 369 Sol Sirenas Coral Resort : 1, 109Pour une semaine bien entendu. Mais que choisir? Personnellement La chaîne Sol Mélia c'est tout ce que je connais et 2/2 je n'ai pas été déçue. Sol Cayo Guillermo super sauf pour l'étroitesse de la plage (largeur d'une chaise puisqu'il faut la bouger à marée haute!) Sol Cayo Santa Maria, super aussi et la plage est mieux, mais très isolé du monde, pour ceux qui rêvent d'être sur une plage déserte allez-y tout de suite! Santa Maria sera éventuellement relié à Cayo Guillermo. Vous en aurez pour des heures à marcher sur une plage vierge aux eaux limpides ou plusieurs oublient le maillot! Les désavantages de Cayo Santa Maria sont qu'il est loin de l'aéroport... et c'est le lieu de naissance des maringouins. Calculez 3hres d'avance à l'aéroport + 1 heure de voyagement + 2 heures de préparation avant le départ et votre journée est presque finit... Alors qu'à Varadéro et Cayo Coco, en moin d'une demi-heure bingo sur la plage ou presque!
Y aura-t-il d'autres personnes du voyage de l'âge de 17 ans dans la deuxième semaine de mai à Varadéro? C'est ce que se demande mon fils? Répondez-moi quelqu'un!
La Puce, est le nom de mon plus jeune chat, une "petite" chatte qui aura 9 ans le 9. Je dis "petite" car elle est minuscule contrairement à sa mère, Grosse minoune qui, elle, est bien portante...
Ce n'est jamais facile de conseiller quelqu'un sur un choix d'hôtel. C'est tellement personnel... Ce que je peux aimer, toi, tu peux le détester!
C'est certain que si tu veux une certaine qualité à Cuba, surtout au niveau de la bouffe, tu devras choisir un hôtel de 4* et + car les gens n'arrêtent pas d'écrire "Cuba, c'est Cuba".
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!
