It really depends on where else you have been. Varadero is a nice beach. It is not --IMO-- as nice as Tulum, or as nice many beaches in Brazil.
Insofar as culture, because Varadero has a lot of resort hotels, they have shows nightly for their patrons. The music in the clubs in town is also very touristy, not very "authentic" IMO, more a crowd of drinkers than a crowd of music aficionados.
You could try Cayo Jutias nearer to Vinales.
