I was in Melia Las Antillas from 17.04 to 1.05. 11. At first, I was settled in a bungalow number 6202.1st floor. When I arrived, I was shocked in my room, because it smelled of dampness. I decided to change it, but at the reception they told me that there are no available rooms. As a result, I changed the room through the Russian-speaking hotel staff - Anna, who turned out to be just a great smart person, if you have any problems with the number, etc. , even you don’t know where you can walk in Varadero, she will tell you everything , just go to the reception and ask Anna, they will call her. They gave me a new room in the main building on the 3rd floor 3209, he arranged me in everything, the room itself and the quality of cleaning.
Food. Excellent, for breakfast they make fresh squeezed juices from any fruit that you show from the presented ones. Lunch and dinner are also good, there are always several types of meat, fish, shrimp every day, mussels every other day, but very tasty! Fruits: bananas, pineapples, mangoes, papaya, watermelon, melon. They gave lobsters that were grilled several times. , they are tasty.
The staff is friendly and smiling, in general Cuba is all very positive. And it's just great!

The hotel area is a lot of greenery, beautiful, but too lazy to clean it up: coconuts, fallen yellow leaves from palm trees lay on the grass all my vacation. But you can ignore this if you are in Cuba.
The beach is great, wide, there were enough sunbeds for everyone. Nothing is stolen on the beach, because. there are no local residents. The ocean just shocked me with its beauty, warmth and comfortable bottom. The bottom is even sandy - just stunned. I went into the ocean and you don’t want to get out of it, you can lie in a panama hat and drift along the waves - Super!
Now I will write a little about the cons of the hotel:
1. there are no showers on the beach, which is inconvenient, you need to go to the pool to wash yourself. Some of the guys from salt and the sun were allergic to the skin. Since it is desirable to wash off sea water immediately.
2. Near the bar counter (pool bar), there are no racks with seats, sometimes you want to sit down and sip a cocktail right next to the bar.
3. Animation is very weak. This is a big minus, because there is nothing to do in the evening. They sing and dance at the animation. Twice there were competitions - "Miss Hotel", a good fun competition, but the competition - "We are a couple" - is rather weak. They called 4 couples and announced only one competition for them - just dance to the music that the DJ puts on, and so they made 10 songs, and they got very tired themselves and, accordingly, tired the audience.
I think that the animation program needs to be radically changed, then people will immediately reach out.
4. Disco - located in the building, next to the Pepperoni restaurant. Small, but vacationers do not go to it. The first time I came to the disco there were only 3 people, only once we had a lot of fun at the disco, because we came with a group. The music at the disco leaves much to be desired. We need more different styles to ignite the holidaymakers!
Now a little about excursions:
1. Havana - I recommend this tour to everyone, a very interesting city, amazing architecture. Be sure to look in Havana for a black room with a lens (an invention of Salvador gave), any moving object can be seen through it.

2. The island of Cayo Largo is just a fairy tale, as in the Bounty advertisement. I advise everyone, it's just a heavenly place!
The only thing is that on this excursion you will visit the iguana island - it has an uneven surface, so walking in shales is uncomfortable, take comfortable shoes!
3. Cienfuegos - I was shocked, very beautiful, French architecture, I also recommend it to everyone.
4. Belyamar Cave is also an amazing place, stalactites and stalagmites (calcium deposits)
In general, my impressions of the trip are super! For me, Cuba has become a place I want to return to. Just take a good mood with you on vacation, and do not pay attention to the little things, and then your vacation will be a great success!!!!
I convey, hello, to everyone who knows me, with whom we rested in this hotel: Irina, Lyudmila, Yulia, Sasha, Lena, Vadim, Sergey, Masha.
