We rested with a friend in this hotel from 20.08 to 27.08. 10. Let's start with the flight. We flew with Transaero, Moscow-Varadero-Moscow. Some kind of "premium class", for which they paid extra 5000 rubles. People don't overpay!!!! ! It's absolutely not worth it!! ! This “premium class” was invented by Transaero and the standards by which economy differs from premium are not indicated anywhere, therefore I did not find any differences as such. As it was originally announced that in this class there is more distance between the rows and the backrest leans back more than in the economy. IT IS NOT TRUE!!! ! Yes, the distance may be more, but the backs recline by 10 cm. No more! We flew back on the 23rd row, this is in front of the emergency exit, so our seats did not fold out at all !!! ! And again, if there are empty seats on the plane, then you can transfer to a premium for 1000 rubles.
And so about the hotel and Cuba)))). We arrived around 7 pm, their time. Everything went quickly at the airport. Went outside…. It's hot and very humid there. It takes about half an hour to get to the hotel. At the hotel at the reception, it took a very long time to register, although there were only 6 new arrivals. And so, they gave us the key and took us with suitcases to our room... We lived in a bungalow. First impressions of the room were terrible!! ! But then they got used to it, settled down and everything fell into place))). The room is large (in the main building the rooms are much smaller, but the decor is better!!! ), the candey worked very loudly, but it cooled perfectly, because. I like the room to be cool. The next day, or rather morning, because we woke up at 4 in the morning (the time difference affects), we sorted out our suitcases, waited for dawn and went to inspect the territory. The hotel is large enough, the whole area is buried in bushes, flowers and palm trees. We got to the beach and realized that you are in paradise! )))) The ocean is gentle, there were almost never waves. The entrance to the water is excellent. There were always enough sunbeds on the beach. We never sunbathed near the pool, we always went to the beach. Near the beach there is a bar where you can drink and dine if you don't feel like going to a restaurant. In the restaurant, the food is quite varied, but like everywhere else it gets boring very quickly and on the 3rd-4th day I start eating watermelons))). Once at dinner there were not enough plates, we were waiting for them to bring. The food has always been pork, chicken, fish, seafood. Side dishes rice, potatoes, spaghetti, vegetables, fried bananas. Fruits were watermelons, papaya, bananas, grapefruits. Freshly squeezed juices for breakfast. In general, the food was normal, we were not hungry.
Excursions were taken to Cayo Largo and Havana. o. Cayo Largo is just a fairy tale, heaven on earth! Snow-white beaches, palm trees, turquoise Caribbean sea…… Beauty. (photo attached) We took a private tour to Havana, with a guide in a rented car. It is much more convenient, because we stopped where we wanted to, saw all the sights and even those that are not included in the excursion program))) We bought rum, souvenirs, cigars not in the store, but through our guide, not legally. And after Havana, Vencento (our guide) offered to go to Varadero, because. there was a carnival. We walked around Varadero at night, everyone is walking, having fun, and mostly locals....Despite the fact that it's weekdays and tomorrow at work)))

P. S. Cuba has become our second home!! ! This country will never be forgotten! We plan to go to Cuba next year, but already at 5 *. CUBA-MY LOVE!! !
