“I have been to 10 different hotels along the Varadero stip. Villa Tortuga was the most bang for your money and the most fun out oof all the hotels. Absolute blast and I was there 3 times. Some of the others I went multiple times as well but none of them were as fun as Tortuga.”
★★★★★
★★★☆☆
“I loved this hotel. I never imagined the staff would be so kind and helpful. The service and overall quality were excellent. The rooms were spotless, the green areas were spectacular, and the entertainment team was simply amazing. My deepest respect to them—thank you for your charisma, your enthusiasm, and so much more. In short, thank you to all the staff, from management to support personnel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart; we will be back!”
★★★★★
“Would not recommend, staff are friendly but there was little food offered, at the start of the beach so not much activity as a little far from Varadero centre. Rooms are very dated and not the most pleasurable stay however if you are looking for a cheap stay it would surfice.”
