Hi Everyone! I'm newly engaged and just starting my wedding planning now for next year. I am stuck between 3 resorts! The Paradisus Varadero looks beautiful and they offer beach reception which I would love! and the beach looks the nicest, but this resort is a bit pricey per person.  Does anyone know if they have a disco there?  I also received quotes for Iberostar Varadero and Iberostar Laguna Azul, they are only $50 apart in price, and about $300 cheaper than the paradisus.  Can anyone tell me which out of the the two is the better resort? and has the better wedding venues? I've done some research but I'm still torn!

Thank you!!

Hey hun!  I was stuck between all of those resorts too!  I have never been to any of them before either so it was really scary to pick out a resort for my wedding and pretty much pick the place all of my guests would vacation to.  I was torn right down until the day I actually booked.  I was torn mainly between Iberostar Laguna Azul and Iberostar Varadero.  I did so much research and I went with the resort that had better reviews around the time we want to get married.  I found that the Iberostar Varadero had better September reviews than the Iberostar Laguna Azul.  I really loved the Spa Terrace for the Iberostar Laguna Azul but I also loved that the Iberostar Varadero was a smaller resort.  I totally understand it's a tough choice I hope that I helped a bit.

 

Good luck!

Hello to you both.  @diadiamond - I went to a wedding at the Iberostar Varadero resort in May 2014 and it was absolutely lovely.  You made a great choice.  All the best to you.    PS.  I live in Ontario too, not far from Toronto!

@shanb thanks hun!  I see you're getting married at Paradisus Rio de Oro in Holguin.  My parents went there and absolutely loved it!  My step-dad is a vegetarian and my mom only eats halal meat, but they both enjoyed the food options they had.  You picked a great resort too!
