Hello tourists! Rested in Cuba in Varadero, with her husband, at the beginning of April 2011.14 days. I'll tell you about everything in order.
TOUR OPERATOR Lanta tour
Irresponsible, disgusting attitude towards tourists! First, we were settled in the neighboring hotel Mercure Playa de Oro 4 *, the most disgusting, and the guides themselves said that it was worse than Turquesa 4 *. And indeed it is! When asked why there were no places in our hotel, the representative of Lanta Tour did not answer anything ...Perhaps this is the tricks of the Cubans themselves, of course. . When we ordered 2 excursions from our guide, one was canceled without warning us, and on the other they forgot about us, we had to spend our nerves and money on calls to the guide, find out when they would pick us up ...as a result, we went at the hottest time and everything burned down . . Well, this is Cuba. In general, they have nowhere to hurry and no one cares)))) They took us from the hotel, too, wonderful. .
Due to the fact that the Lanta-tour bus was an hour late (all this time we were not sitting in the pool, but at the reception and thought that they had forgotten about us again), we arrived at the airport last and we got tickets not nearby ...
TRANSAERO Airlines (direct flight to Varadero)
Fed terribly little! My one-year-old child would only eat...but not my husband. In general, the flight there was more difficult than the flight back. There flew 13 hours because of the headwind, there was terrible turbulence and all the time the sun was behind us. Sleep was problematic. Back, on the contrary, they flew 10.5 hours and almost all the time at night. Slept. And I didn't want to eat. The chairs are terribly uncomfortable, they give blankets, it’s impossible to watch anything on the built-in TV, take either phones with movies or laptops!
Hotel Be Live Turquesa 4*
Good two-story houses, cleaned every day and made all sorts of birds and animals out of towels. The furniture is good.
There are ants that bite hard and saw 1 cockroach, but this, I think, is the prerogative of all bungalows ...I just don't really like huge hotels with giant beaches. . But there are no ants. The bed mattresses are comfortable. We had 2 large beds, we just pushed them together. In apology for the problems with checking in for one night at another hotel, we had a bottle of rum in our room, 2 bottles of soda and pressed coconut ) Pleased )
The territory is sufficient for walking, well-groomed, the staff is wonderful and friendly! We lived in three hotels in Cuba and have something to compare. The food was good, there was not much variety, of course, but the soups were different every day and were delicious. And a SEA of delicious tiger prawns! ! ! The fish is tasty but small. Freshly squeezed juices every day! Only the season they have fruit in September (coconuts for sure), and when we beat, in April, except for oranges, the fruits were not ripe. . But orange juice in the morning is also not bad))))
The best cocktails: mojito, pinocolada, cubalibri, cubata, romponche.
Animation is, but she did not impress me. . I thought there would be more Cuban motives. There would be more musicians, they sing and play awesome! ! !
The beach is wonderful, as in all Varadero. Only here there were not enough sunbeds after dinner)
Ocean TALE! ! ! But there is nothing and no one in it. Masks were not needed.
In general, a solid 4-ka! Not for people with high demands, but for young people and the elderly. By the way, there were a lot of the latter there. But it didn't bother us. There are plenty of young people too. There are not many Russians, mostly Spaniards and Canadians.
We went to Cuba for the sake of nature, for the sake of culture, and not to sit in a hotel. All conditions were good. But still it's not 5*...
Tours
We went - Havana + Pinar Del Rio (with an overnight stay near Havana) - I liked it very much! The hotel was Occidental Miramar 4 * 20 min drive from Havana. The hotel is good. The rooms are great! Havana is a VERY beautiful city. But 1 day is not enough!
It is better to book a hotel there yourself for 5-7 days and study)))
We rode, not far from the hotel, on boats through the mangroves) I highly recommend! Just pay the guide another 10 cookies per person and he will arrange an unforgettable tour of the open ocean for you and only for you! There are also scooters. In general, it is easier to go there on foot, without any excursion programs, it will be cheaper. There's also a zoo.
We took scooters from the hotel (15 kuk per scooter for 3 hours) and rode along the coast, into the city, and if you go left, as you leave the hotel onto the main road, you can drive a little and get to the bats in the cave.
Let's summarize:
Cuba is worth a visit! It's a completely different world! For the whole trip they gave 115 thousand rubles. With you for souvenirs and excursions another $ 1000
