You will swim and sunbathe ... do not worry. Weather average daily temperature +25...+26°C, night temperature +16 +17°C, ocean water temperature
+23 +26°C. Take everything: - creams, swimwear, sunglasses... look in January-February, jellyfish with long tentacles (like ropes) swim up to the shore, which can sting painfully...
Usually they buy shells home .. especially valuable are "Tritons", "Caracols" and "Pearl of the Caribbean" ... they also buy stuffed crocodiles ("cocodrills"). often carry cigars and "Havana Club"

I was treated to Cuban chocolate, I really liked it. Also, pay attention to products made of crocodile skin - bags, wallets, belts.

I will add:
It is advisable to take a light blouse with long sleeves with you. In the evenings, if you leave the room, it may seem cool.
The sea is warm, we swam from eight in the morning. They didn't die.
And as a gift you can buy cigars, handmade toys and the most delicious - Cuban coffee! We bought a separate bag and took coffee beans to everyone as a present. And now the coffee is running out - it means it's time to go to Cuba again :)
It is interesting that everyone writes about jellyfish in winter. We were in February - the sea was clean, not a single jellyfish (We rested in Varadero). But in August there were a lot of small jellyfish near the shore. It seems nothing special, but it is unpleasant when something touches you.
Have a good rest!

There are jellyfish .. at this time of the year. A jellyfish stung in January on the beach of Dupont's villa in Varadero. I had a mark on my body from shoulder to hip for six months ... It stings like electricity ... as if scratched with a wire ... but it’s still great there even in January. The Cubans themselves believe that the season ends in September, while ours swim all year round .. the water is 26 degrees in January-February. I have been to Cuba several times and at different times of the year. In January it is more comfortable at sea than on land.
Do not take anything edible with you (sausage, fish ..) everything will be confiscated at customs and thrown into the trash. Only sealed canned food (sprats...)

Take coffee - you are rightly advised. There is coffee in large brown jars (coffee in beans), many are looking for cocoa butter, I bought it, but then, not knowing what to do with it, I threw it away ... Do not bring coconuts home, they only add extra weight. But the stuffed crocodile will always remind you of the trip...

Luggage allowance, is it 23kg or 25, I don’t remember? But we had an overweight of 5 kg (there was no place to weigh it), we asked for 200 euros, we opened the suitcase and threw out 3 ill-fated mangoes. But my daughter was in February-March, she says that there really was an invasion of jellyfish (Portuguese boats) that sting a lot, as described above, be careful. We were in Iberostar Playa Alameda, this is the penultimate hotel on Varadero, I liked it. We took 3 buggy safari excursions , water safari and in three cities (this is a whole day) - I recommend all three, worth the money. We brought coffee, cigars and rum. Rum at the airport is more expensive than we even had at the hotel. We flew to Paris Air France-chic ! Paris-Kyiv UIA-tolerant. You will pay great attention to the connection in Paris, if you are flying on the same flight with a transfer as ours, we got on our nerves. If you have a direct line, then it's fine.

Luggage allowance is basically 23 kg per 1 adult, no one was rummaging around in our bags. We checked in a bag with 19 kg of coffee. Everything was calm. Cane sugar is also sold in Russia, I see no reason to bring it. The guide said about cigars that no more than 50 pieces (now I don’t remember the exact number). We had more and no one checked either. Yes, and you can buy cigars in duty free as much as you need. However, you can also buy rum and coffee there.

The baggage allowance depends on the airline, Aeroflot has 23 kg, Transaero has 20 kg. We always take 2 suitcases and a hand luggage bag, the hand luggage allowance is 5 kg. The hand luggage bag must be of such a size that it can fit in a shelf, its size is determined as follows: the sum of the lengths of all sides cannot exceed 100 cm, if more, they will be forced to check it in.

We were in Varadero in November. Strange, but among the souvenirs we did not meet a single stuffed crocodile! They didn't pay any attention to the shells either. But we saw a lot of products made of leather, wood, beer cans. They sell a lot of paintings and small pictures with views of Havana, accessories for smoking cigars. We read that in Moscow there is a restriction on the import of alcohol (no more than 3 liters per person), they strictly measured the amount of rum so that it would be enough for souvenirs and for themselves. And at Sheremetyevo, no one cared about our luggage at all. Regarding hand luggage: we flew with Aeroflot, there were a lot of Cubans on board back and forth, so they went into the cabin with suitcases. Our hand luggage was not only not weighed, they did not even look at the registration.

But how do you like flying with Aeroflot? How is the service there now? They say that it’s better not to get involved, but to fly with other airlines.
