Отзыв об отеле Tuxpan Review of Tuxpan Hotel

We rested in Cuba with a child of 4 years in February from February 6 to February 21. In short, Cuba is the place where we most likely will not go again. To be honest, I still don’t understand why it’s worth flying in an airplane for 14 hours, and then living with a 9 hour time difference. There are places on earth where you can fly closer and the hourly difference is less and the service is better, but the cost is the same! But you can watch it once. Not more. And so in order.
We flew with Transaero. Boeing 777 aircraft. The aircraft is new. They flew well. We were a little worried about how the child would endure the 14 hour flight. Transferred well.
Passport control upon arrival went through quickly. Baggage was released quickly. We had an individual transfer to the hotel, so we had time for dinner upon arrival at the hotel. They say that who had a group, did not have time for dinner. While we were in the dining room, we were issued documents for settling.

Tuxpan Hotel was built in 1991. Named after the city in Mexico from which Fidel Castro's flotilla sailed to make a revolution in Cuba. Therefore, on occasion, he was even at the opening of the hotel. (Relevant photos hang in the hotel lobby). It is said that the hotel had the best disco in Varadero. But the disco was closed. The hotel has changed owners and is gradually falling into disrepair.
The room is very small and very mediocre. But the air conditioning worked, and very quietly. Plumbing worked, hot and cold water without interruption. The bathroom had an antediluvian hair dryer. There was a refrigerator in which beer and gas were waiting. water. TV set. From Russian channels shows "NTV America". Since we had a side bed, it was almost impossible to walk around the room. You can only access the balcony from the side.
Before leaving for Cuba, I read a lot about the fact that they have a voltage of 110 V in the network. So no problem! The hotel has all European sockets, and since all adapters for household appliances operate in the 110-220 V range, everything works.
The food at the hotel is so-so, but you will not stay hungry. Breakfast bacon, ham, cheese, scrambled eggs juice, toast, fruit, coffee. Lunch two kinds of soup, fried chicken, meat, fish, fruits, beer, wine. For dinner, several types of ice cream. The pool has a grill bar where during the day they make hamburgers, hot dogs.
Alcohol no problem. Surprisingly good Rum, Irish Whiskey, Tekkila, Beefeeder Gin, etc. Any local cocktails All this in any quantities almost around the clock. By the way, I didn’t like the local “Crystal” beer.
We were not lucky with the weather. It wasn't hot. One day I even wore a sweatshirt. The sea was stormy for several days. For a couple of days, the beach guards did not let the sea, as jellyfish swam in the sea. Such blue bubbles. They say they are very dangerous. But, I must say that the sea is really beautiful, the entrance is quite gentle. Very clean. Whenever possible, swimming was a great pleasure. Loungers are full. Choose I don't want to. Anytime. And the pool is the same. There was practically no animation. The child was bored. Pools two in one there is a bar.
We went to Varadero by taxi cost from 5 to 9 cookies. The city has an amusement park (0.5 cookie). The child is quite interested. There is a children's toy store. There is a dolphinarium.

All excursions in Cuba are organized by the state. The company "Kubakan" therefore the prices are the same everywhere. Tours are not cheap. Tour to Havana 67 cookies per person (1 cookie = 1 euro). My friends and I took an individual tour to Havana for 400 cookies. Since there were 5 of us, it turned out not much more expensive than a group one, but much more interesting.
Buying cigars from the hands is really cheaper. For example, a cigar in a store costs from 8 to 13 cookies, and from hands from 1 to 3 cookies. Since I don't smoke, I can't comment on the quality. But it looks the same. And they give you stamps.
