I'll tell you how I can, maybe it will be useful to someone.
Transaero flight, specially took a direct flight.
A maximum of 30 minutes drive from the hotel. We drove wary, but everything pleased. Settled immediately in the standard on the 3rd floor, the rooms are certainly not a fountain, but for 3 it is. We left our things and looked forward to where to have a bite, although the state after the flight was pre-fainting and there was no mood. We found a bar by the pool, sat down at a table, freaked out for a long time, not understanding whether it was necessary to come up ourselves, or to wait for the waiter, they practically don’t understand Russian or pretend (but as it turned out later, you can speak Russian and they all understand ). We took some sandwiches, of course, there is too much bread, I didn’t eat it... we also had a bite to go to the beach. Just entered the water and do not believe it, all the irritation, fatigue, all the negativity disappeared somewhere. Life started to get better. . .

Later, my husband passed through the reception, the girl called him and began to explain that your number is not GUD and for an extra charge she will put us in a super room. We went and looked at the bungalow closest to the beach....well, this is heaven and earth, two rooms, each TV, air conditioning is just a beast, spacious, comfortable, in general, very nice, beauty....I immediately paid extra 50-60 cookies, in my opinion, I don't remember exactly. 30 seconds to the beach. . .
The territory is huge, we looked at some zones only on the last day). The infrastructure is extensive, but not everything works, and more is not needed.
Nationalities of vacationers: many Spaniards, Colombians, Canadians, then Russians, Germans and English very few. Local families come for the weekend, very noisy guys, they sweep away everything in the restaurant, crowd....in short, they strain, but this is only for 2 days, on Sunday evening there is silence again.
Everything in the hotel is surrounded by greenery, a lot of living creatures, beauty. Hotel employees often give presents: local handicrafts, shells, fruits, coconuts with milk are opened and presented to you, they will not refuse the promotion, but if not, then no).
Their salaries there are super beggarly 15-17 dollars, this is a good salary. Therefore, they do not refuse gifts, basically they need women's tights, hair clips, perfumes, T-shirts....apparently they have a shortage. We went to their local stores (for our own), zero choice, empty shelves. But the people themselves are very cool and kind, in such and such conditions!
The food is very good, there are a lot of meat dishes, always the freshest fish, sometimes there were seafood, they are not very friendly with salads, they don’t know how to make them, there are a lot of fruits, mostly pineapples, watermelon, papaya, guava, mango....juices for breakfast , guava juice mmmm. . .
Ala carte restaurant, by reservation, themed dinners, was for everyone, I liked it, pleasant atmosphere.
Evening animation, dance show, well done guys are trying very hard. After they ask for money, but you should have seen what kind of darned tights the girls are wearing... tin.
There is alcohol, of course I haven’t seen Chivas, but more often you need to look under the bar counter, they squeeze good alcohol, but I’m not a fan, cool gin. You can safely buy rum in a hotel shop, and even better in a dutik, you won’t find it cheaper.

Do not carry any other currency, only dollars, the rest is simply not profitable, and you cannot change Russia at all.
Room cleaning for 5. No tip and on time. On the first day, a huge cockroach was found in the room, apparently climbed through the ventilation grill in the bathroom on the floor, after they put an urn on it... there were no more mustachioed friends.
As for the climate: it was surprising that even though the climate is humid, things dry quickly, like at home. The wet season and its effects were not noticed. It was calm for 4 days, the ocean is like a mirror, my heart shrinks as I remember.
The beach is large, there are plenty of sunbeds, there were few people on the beach, even in places it was deserted, which could not but rejoice.
In short, I advise everyone to this hotel and I myself will return there with pleasure, it is impossible not to fall in love with Cuba.
