время пребывания: Апрель 2010 г stay: April 2010

Probably I will repeat, but for 2 *, the hotel is very decent. The sea is located 150 meters from the hotel, there is a bar. Very surprised by the previous review. Everything was lying around in our room, even money. Not very big (I want to note that for us 30 CUC is a trifle, it's about 500-600 rubles, for them it's a three-month salary) All things were always neatly folded on the table and there was no hint of anything missing. On the third day, we gave the maid 1 CUC, unlike others, we always washed the floor, a trifle but nice. And upon departure, we were allowed to check out at 14.00, and not 12, as it should be. On the fourth day of our stay, the water heater broke down in the room, to our surprise it was repaired literally after 3 hours. Food is really scarce, but you won't die of hunger. Animation takes place constantly, for example, during the day you can play loto and win a bottle of rum, in the evening there is also something to look at. Especially on the weekends, when the whole hotel is filled with Cubans, the karaoke competition starts. Then I felt sorry for the children, their parents shoved them onto the stage in order to show off, in front of the assembled compatriots, everyone is dancing salsa. But at the same time, everyone behaves decently. . It is better to tip right away. For example, in the lobby bar, which we visited upon arrival, the bartender made us a couple of good cocktails, not sparing 2 CUC, we enjoyed his creations all the vacation, once at lunch we visited him, with a great desire to drink coffee, he offered us as always Mahito, after the evening gatherings, we could not even hear about alcohol. Then he made us a non-alcoholic Mojito, with something unknown to us, saying that after this drink we would immediately feel better. The taste of this Mojito was very specific, but literally, after 20 minutes, all the hangover syndromes, as if blown away. There are no Russian speakers there at all, but a charming girl is sitting in the lobby selling excursions. She has a friend Leonel, he studied in Moscow in Soviet times and knows Russian perfectly. It was he who was our guide, through him you can go on many excursions much cheaper and more comfortable. For example, we rode in Trinedad by taxi, on the way we dropped into many cities, bought in the Caribbean and much more. The pluses of the hotel, I would like to include that it is located in the very center of Varadero, and not on the outskirts, there is a souvenir market within a 5-minute walk, another important thing is a bank where you can exchange money at a very good rate. I highly recommend everyone to do this only in a bank. And it's better to go there with Canadian dollars and EURO. In no case do not take Dollars, a commission of 20% is charged for their exchange. Still there at a premium, soap, cosmetics, pencils, felt-tip pens, chocolate and chewing gum. All that was missing in the hungry Soviet childhood. But still, do not forget that all Cubans living in resort towns are not at all poor, they love to show up in order to steal more money from you, they all know Russian psychology very well, and they can cry for hours, our Leonel just killed us, the fact that his poor only daughter is crying for 2 days and 2 nights because her computer is broken. In Cuba, a computer in the provinces is equivalent to an Audi A8 in the fields of the Krasnaya Zarya collective farm in the Uryupen region.
