Awards & Reviews

The Palma Real Hotel Hotel stands out in Varadero for being the first grand hotel specialized in Cuban dances and music. The greater Isle of the Antilles is internationally recognized for rhythms like the cha-cha, the mambo, the salsa, the conga, the guaracha and the guaguanco; all these genres can be heard throughout the hotel, having the option of also learn how to dance with them during the professional dancing lessons.

A few steps away from one of the most gorgeous beaches in Varadero, the Palma Real with a 4 star category offers an exceptional opportunity for learning, dancing or just listening Cuban music. The lessons program covers the whole day and includes dancing and learning how to play typical musical instruments with skilled teachers. There is also a special program for kids. Highly recommended is the Salsa Club, specialized in authentic Latin salsa.

The lobby is at the same time a sort of Cuban music Hall of Fame and will allow you to enter in the world of Cuba´s musical history throughout time. For accommodation you could choose among several sections of the hotel dedicated to different musical themes. The rooms are large and comfortable, with a nice decoration and balconies overlooking the site of your preference between the sea, the swimming pool, the gardens or the city.

The installation has 4 swimming pools, divided in 2 different areas: one for relaxing and the other for entertaining, the latter has a wide entertainment schedule including parties with afro-Cuban folkloric music. Concerts, exhibitions and conferences about the Cuban culture in general are also widely available.

The restaurants and bars make emphasis in Cuban specialties. Next to the hotel is the popular nightclub Habana Club, offering free access to the hotel´s guests.
