Iberostar Playa Alameda ReviewLocated on the eastern edge of the peninsula, this is one of the newer and more upscale resorts in Varadero. The rooms here are housed in a series of three-story units spread around the resort's expansive grounds. The rooms are all junior suites, with two twin beds or one king-size bed, separate sitting areas, separate tub and shower units, walk-in closets, and either a balcony or terrace. Thick iron headboards, marble-topped tables, and large Italian tiles lend the rooms a fair amount of class. A broad pedestrian-only avenue leads from the reception and restaurant area to the large complex of pools, which includes a well-designed children's pool and play area. The resort's dance club and nightly cabaret theater are well removed from the rooms, so noise isn't a problem at night. There's an inviting bar with a lookout tower down by the beach. Facilities: 7 restaurants; 2 snack bars; 4 bars; lounge; dance club; 2 pools; 2 lit outdoor tennis courts; small, well-equipped health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; nonmotorized watersports equipment; bikes; children's programs; game room; concierge; tour and activities desk; car-rental desk; salon; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; 4 nonsmoking rooms.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
