We rested from December 20 to January 3. The hotel in general draws on a normal 4, the only negative is that if the windows overlook the pool, there is no sun in the room all day long (this is good from many sides), but there is a smell of blossoms and high humidity - nothing dries out. The hotel has a 24-hour pool bar, grill bar for lunch, a beach bar and a shared restaurant. The food is normal, the grill bar every day: fish, veal, pork ribs, well, the accompanying potatoes or rice, or all together. Alcoholic drinks are poured unchildishly - in buckets, if you give a couple of cookies, hawai... The quality of the drinks is incomparable with Turkey and even more so with Egypt - everything is much better. The ocean is a MIRACLE, Tuxpan has the best coastline in Varadeo. The water temperature was somewhere around 26-28, air during the day up to 30.
We traveled a lot of excursions, but I advise Havana with a visit to the Tropicana without spending the night (although we didn’t really like the Tropicana, but it’s worth visiting at least for show, the island of Cayo Largo is something unusual and Safari (create your own island).
In general, Cuba is a country of very slow and even lazy chegiwars, with wonderful nature and it is simply necessary to visit there. A cheerful country, terribly in love with its revolutionaries and, as it seemed to us, living today...

P/S
Fidel stands on the podium. The crowd is chanting, making noise. . . Fidel takes a drag on a sumptuous cigar and says:
- Cubans! American propaganda claims that we can only smoke cigars and dance! This is not true?
- No, Fidel! the crowd roars.
- Isn't that right, Cubans? Fidel asks again, sipping his cigar.
- No, no, Fidel!
- Isn't that right, Cubans?
- No, no, Fidel!
Fidel (to himself, thoughtfully):
- Hm. Isn't that right, Cubans? No, no, Fidel! Isn't that right, Cubans? No, no, Fidel! - and Fidel himself begins to hum it rhythmically, and after him the whole crowd begins to dance: "Isn't that right, Cubans? No, no, Fidel"... And everyone dances...
