The hotel is for overnight stays, there is practically nothing in the hotel that does not work. The water flows intermittently, the animation is 0, the gym does not work, there are no sun loungers, beach towels, the sea is nearby but no one cleans the sand on the beach, the bars and the restaurant are working properly and you can always have a tasty and inexpensive meal.

The rooms are cleaned every day, if you leave a chocolate bar you will get swans from the towels on the bed. In the rooms, TV and conder work properly 2 Russian channels, if you go on a budget to see Cuba, then it makes sense to go to this hotel.

I'll start from the road. Plane to Varadero from Sheremetyevo Terminal C d. b. take off at 8.50 am. We flew from St. Petersburg to Sheremetyevo Terminal B at 23.55. Until we got the luggage, until we got to the "shuttle" and waited for it to appear, while we were driving on it for about 20 minutes. As a result, the clock is 2 o'clock in the morning.

Until we got the luggage, until we got to the "shuttle" and waited for it to appear, while we were driving on it for about 20 minutes. As a result, the clock is 2 o'clock in the morning. After a full day of work, I would already like to lie down, but this is bad in terminal C. There are no hotels for a few hours. Okay, he put his wife with suitcases, and he went to smoke. I really wanted to after 6 hours without tobacco. On the return to the terminal, a beggar policeman was waiting for me (he is also the face of terminal C of Sheremetyevo Airport). He tried to get 500 rubles from me without a protocol for smoking supposedly closer than 15m from the entrance to the terminal. I don't give bribes to anyone. As a result, he rubbed himself around us almost all night. Either he will leave, then in an hour he will return with an old song. This annoyed my wife, but amused me.
The flight was delayed by about an hour.
The flight itself is quite exhausting.
Change money at the airport. The course is more profitable and there are no problems with queues at the bank, about which fellow travelers later told us on the return. In hotels, the standard rate is: 1 kuk = 1 euro.
Now about the hotel itself. The furniture is quite shabby, but you will seriously think about it only on the day of arrival and the next day. Then the ocean, excursions, etc. distract you from this trifle.
Beach. The beach is gorgeous. Of course, they could have cleaned it better, but there were no glasses or debris. Our house was on the border of the hotel and I brought sunbeds from the bar to us. As a result, my wife and I had our own private beach. The closest sunbathers were over 100m away.
Tours. We took two. The first to Havana, the second - three cities. Prices: 96 euros / person - Havana, 86 euros / person - second. Excursions were from Pegasus. They were a little more expensive than private sellers, but we did not regret it at all. Our excursions were conducted by the state company of Cuba and everything was without overlap according to a well-established program, and after private traders, people then spat home on the plane.
Food. The food is quite primitive. It is better to come to the beginning of the "banquet", in the end you will be left without meat. In previous reviews I read about a drinking cook. Now there are two of them. The other one drinks too. It doesn't seem to affect the quality. We didn't have any stomach problems. For 10 days they gave shrimp and squid once. Fish was a couple of times.
Outcome. I am satisfied. Minor everyday roughness of a person from the USSR did not disappoint in Cuba.

In general, I liked it very much. The staff is responsive. Any request is answered well. Not intrusive. Food. There is a lot of meat too. Usually pork. Shrimp once a week, squid too. Vegetables are more difficult. The cook is sometimes drunk. But it doesn't seem to affect food. Beach. The beach is not cleaned from algae.

Food.
There is a lot of meat too. Usually pork. Shrimp once a week, squid too. Vegetables are more difficult.
The cook is sometimes drunk. But it doesn't seem to affect food.
Beach.
The beach is not cleaned from algae. Of course, no glass. But overall untidy. The beds are squashed. The pool is much better. But there are no pelicans and gulls... and in general - the ocean...
Housing.
Ordinary housing. Removed daily. Stubbornly pushing the two beds apart, but not far, you can move back without problems.
Nothing was stolen in two weeks, which is also great.
Reception. Adequate. We wanted to move after the first night - arranged without problems.
Bar.
They love tea. But after receiving - everything is fine.
The same applies to the restaurant, where breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Hello ! Rested from December 15 to 29.2014. Feelings are ambiguous. Attitudes towards Russians / those who do not speak a language other than Russian / are unfriendly, disrespectful. In the eyes of only one "Give Cook". The rooms are not only cleaned, but also pockets are cleaned / and the safe is opened with the same card as the room /.

Hello ! Rested from December 15 to 29.2014. Feelings are ambiguous. Attitudes towards Russians / those who do not speak a language other than Russian / are unfriendly, disrespectful. In the eyes of only one "Give Cook". The rooms are not only cleaned, but also pockets are cleaned / and the safe is opened with the same card as the room /. draw your own conclusion. There were tourists who lost their personal belongings. This whole picture is not very pleasant. Towels in the room are changed once a week / although they are folded very carefully, thereby throwing dust in the eyes /. The food is very modest, not aesthetically pleasing, there is no sanitation / dirty appliances: plates and cups, tablecloths / there was a shortage of paper napkins. Tour. operator Pegasus offers the most expensive ex-ii / everything is cheaper from others /. They took 4 ex-s, of which 2 can be said that money is wasted, because the ex-driver does not know the topic and does not speak Russian well. lang. - in a word, a person is not in his place. It is a pity that such nuances spoiled my ideas about friendly Cuba. Everywhere they were waiting for some kind of dirty tricks and dishonest Cubans. Be vigilant: count the change, check the purchased goods, specify the ex-s plan. One pleased - great weather and a divinely beautiful and warm ocean !! !

Good afternoon. I'll start with the Aeroflot flight (everything was excellent: food, service, and most importantly, an individual TV with movies, TV shows, cartoons, music and games). Tour operator Tez-tour - well done. The pictures on their website are correct. About the hotel: a solid 3 by the standards of Cuba, everything was fine, but this hotel has 2 minuses.

Tour operator Tez-tour - well done. The pictures on their website are correct. About the hotel: a solid 3 by the standards of Cuba, everything was fine, but this hotel has 2 minuses. First: food, two weeks for breakfast, lunch and dinner, everything is almost the same (rice, pasta and spaghetti, pork, chicken, some fruits and vegetables). Second: there is no animation or any, they entertained themselves. The hotel is designed for a relaxing holiday without breaks and revelry. There are other places for this (for example, on 62-63 street there is a corner bar with an evening performance and dancing until you drop, the Havana disco, the Pirates' Cave). Who wants to eat seafood, they cook very tasty in a restaurant on the ocean, called Barakuda (landmark 61-62 streets and a large lobster at the entrance). We went to Havana on an individual tour in a retro car with LYUDMILA!! ! Who is interested in the phone, write to the mail alena. v@list. ru. Who will be in Havana, be sure to go to the restaurant La Casa. The environment and the food are just OUTSTANDING!!! ! Get ready for a long service, as Cuba is very calm, measured, Cubans take their time and live life to the fullest, enjoying music, dancing and very loud conversation, so relax and RELAX! !! ! In a couple of days you will understand that Cuba is the island of Freedom! Have a good trip!

The hotel is 30-40 meters from the ocean. We lived on the second floor. Everything is very clean, everything is in the room. The food was very good, a large selection of seafood, some shrimp with a dozen different cooking recipes, fish, too, of all kinds. Local beer of very good quality, who wanted - dry wine.

In the morning, there were already a couple of bottles of rum and liquor by the coffee machine for those who had gone over the day before. We specifically chose this hotel so as not to climb into the stone jungle. The staff is very polite. I took with me all the worn junk - so, shirts, T-shirts - I left it in the department, people don’t show off there, the salary is 15 greens - you won’t be dispersed. I really liked Cuba!
