Cuba!!! ! Finally! How I have long dreamed of this trip! And it happened.
The prices during this period - mid-December - were very reasonable, and we, taking advantage of the end of the year, finally took an unfinished vacation and waved for a chocolate tan and exotic impressions!
After Havana, which I wrote about in a previous review, we went to Varadero.
On the way, 3 hours, or a little less, it turned out to be a long way. And it's good that we first lived in Havana, and only then to the resort - I would not have survived such a tiring excursion. Yes, and in Havana, of course - now I understand this - you have to live in order to take a walk and stare at it all ! ! Words cannot be conveyed. In Varadero, of course, everything is more or less touristy, there is no such exotic.
So, about the hotel. I chose it based on the reviews, they were all good.

I wanted the hotel to be on the sea, the territory was spacious and there was a lot of delicious food and animation. Such a stupid fun holiday. It turned out that this is the case in almost all hotels, but in ours - especially!
The room was given in one of the houses, on the 1st floor. Our number was 1701. Walk 5 minutes to the reception. The balcony overlooked a clearing with hammocks - cool idea! He went out, lay down and lay down reading a book, when the din and fuss were fed up.
The room is large, in yellow and blue tones, swans are twisted on the bed from towels. There is everything - a mini-bar, and an iron with a board, in general, everything. The beds are big. No complaints. Air conditioning worked, plumbing ok.
The beach is wonderful. But in the morning and in the evening. There are a lot of people during the day. Everyone was stuffed like herrings in a barrel. Full of merchants of all sorts, tired a little. Cool birds flew in, such as pelicans. So funny, trained or something, I did not understand the meaning of their demonstration to tourists. Maybe another money making thing. In Cuba, in general, everyone earns as they can. Everyone is offering something.
There were no problems with food. Just in excess. You can eat around the clock - even at night. But, to be honest, I don’t seem to be a gourmet, but somehow it wasn’t very tasty. They don't know how to cook well. But I leaned on fruits! As they say, they were the best for the hostess!
Lots of cocktails. I tried the entire menu and realized that of all the huge variety, I love mojitos the most. He drank it for the remaining three days. And I even learned how to do it and now I try it at home myself!
An unpleasant surprise was that everything in the SPA center was scheduled for a couple of weeks in advance. We didn't get in!
The shows here are great. Not third-rate animation, but just good such productions. A huge room for a show. We went every evening, and always different!
In general, we rested for five. Despite some shortcomings, I recommend!
