Ocean Varadero el Patriarca 5 stars

The Ocean Varadero el Patriarca is a luxury hotel located in front of the fantastic Varadero Beach on Cuba’s northern coastline. The hotel is surrounded by tropical gardens that includes the legendary 500-year-old Patriarca cactus. The Varadero Beach is a 21 km stretch of white sand and calm, crystal water. The hotel offers guests a host of activities and facilities, and a ‘Privilege’ service. Tours and excursions are available, enabling tourists to experience the traditional Cuban culture.

Varadero is part of the Matanzas province, and is located on the 21 km long Hicacos peninsula. A good way to see the area is to go on the organized Varadero Beach Tour, a double decker hop-on hop-off bus that loops continuously around the peninsula from the downtown area to the seaward end.
