Located right at the end of Varadero peninsula en an exclusive zone for high level hotels, the 5 star Paradisus Princesa del Mar stands alone in its majestic setting. To get an idea what the Paradisus brand is for Melia you need to imagine absolute perfectness and exclusivity. Like its bigger brother Paradisus Varadero, the Paradisus Princesa del Mar offers similar traits but is limited to over 18´s. With 630 accommodations, divided into specific segments and price ranges, with major differences in price being seen in Sea View and Royal Service. The hotel is divided into 388 Junior Suites with a further 50 Junior Suites offering tremendous Ocean Views. Then there´s the 24 Deluxe suites divided in half with 12 Romance and 12 standard décor. The 36 Junior Suite with Royal Service are divided into 16 with the Romance décor and 20 with standard. Royal service is a type of private butler service who arranges every aspect of your stay personally. Finally, there´s the 8 Master Junior Suite Romance Royal Service, 24 Junior Suite Ocean View Royal Service, 20 Royal Service SWIM-UP Pool Junior Suite, 10 Royal Service SWIM-UP Pool Master Junior Suite, 28 Suite with Royal Service , 28 Luxury Suite with Royal Service, 2 Master Suite Royal Service , 2 Presidential Suite with Royal Service. Yes, that’s a lot of prices, room types and levels of service. In effect, the major divisions are room size, royal service (or not) and room décor. For those rooms without the private swim up bars, there are 3 massive resort pools with no less than 7 whirlpool Jacuzzis. It’s pretty easy to find a quiet place to hang out due to the oversized layout of both the resort itself and the pools.

Particularly attractive and unique to this hotel is the Health & Wellness center which offers a myriad of pampering from Sauna areas, steam baths, icy plunge pool, health & beauty treatments to private massages. The royal palm tree lines entrance offers a glimpse of what guests will experience as the impressive entrance reminds you of the entrance to a noble palace. The resort is constructed in line with recent tastes, offering low one and two level separate dwellings spread across a pristine exotic backdrop. Photos of Paradisus Princesa del Mar don´t do justice to the absolute splendor of the place and, seeing is definitely believing, when you arrive. Even aerial photos of Paradisus Princesa del Mar don´t portray the sensation one gets when wandering around this mammoth resort. Rooms are equally impressive with tall ceilings and first class décor which (if this was possible) is even implausibly better in the more expensive “romance” sections. If the cost is no object to you and you have no children then the Paradisus Princesa del Mar Resort is as about as good as it gets in Cuba, and then some. The hotels size seems to be at odds with the general sensation one gets when staying here, on one hand there are 630 accommodations but on the other, there´s an uncanny sentiment of solitude. The architects of this resort seem to have done a brilliant job of dividing the property at angles and sporadically so that each separate dwelling feels decidedly private. Of course, to bring this experience into stellar proportions, you need only request the Royal Service which includes private and personal staff who will tend to and organize every aspect of your stay as if you´re royalty (hence the name).

Eating at the Hotel Paradisus Princesa del Mar is also heavenly. This is not the typical hype but truly astounding food, all day, every day, and all the time. The most basic meals (which are exquisite) are served at the Gran Terraza buffet. A good place to start your eating experience at the hotel and also see fellow guests, the selection and variety is quite simply excellent. Venturing away from the buffet there´s the Port Royal Beach Grill which besides offering the typical high level meat cuts of T-Bone, sirloin and filet steaks, there´s also the chicken and pork, all of which is great. Salads at this Beach restaurant are brilliant offering a side dish from heaven. A little more formal are the aptly named “Marseille” French restaurant and the “Firenze” Italian restaurant both of which transport you to these European nations for some startlingly creative meals. And, for guests seeking Asian flair, there´s the delights of the Sakura, Japanese teppanyaki restaurant and the Bamboo, Chinese restaurant both, again, simply outstanding. Finally, there´s the Barbecue restaurant which, despite facing fierce competition from the prior, rustles up some tasty meals with some divine bbq sauces. There´s one restaurant left which is called the Hill Top Hideaway which is reserved for Royal Service guests only. As can be imagined, this restaurant pulls out all the stops and even prepares meals requested specifically by guests in advance along with a broad menu of varies European cuisine from 21 countries.

Staying at the Paradisus Princesa del Mar Resort is something to be cherished, the service, the food and the accommodations are at such astronomic levels of excellence that only staying here will properly detail the exquisite nature in which this hotel is run.

Hotel PARADISUS PRINCESA DEL MAR Varadero is one of the few hotels that do not require prepayment or deposit to Book.
