Blau Varadero: Good resort on a great stretch of beach and very well reviewed.
>
Paradisus Princesa del Mar: One of the best hotels in Cuba, adults only. Well above average food, a rarity in Cuba.

Superclubs Breezes: All three resorts have excellent beaches. The Jibicoa is about an hour from Havana and has great snorkelling. The Varadero is a age 14+ resort while the Bella Costa has a great kids program so is a good choice for families.

Iberostar Varadero and Melia Las Antillas: Good adults only options.
