stJan 30th to Feb 2, 2012. I stay 3 nights and 4 days at this resort. This colonial hotel isthe oldest in Varadero, it's not a North American hotel standard, Everything is basic, furnitures, bathroom...but the rooms with a balconies at the second are nicer and Clean and air conditionning & water are working well. There no Internet connection, no phone in your room, and most of the travellers are South America or Russian...not canadians, europeens !
Food is OK not a lot of choice, but if you are not picky you will fine something you like. It's Cuban's food (congri rice, beef, pork, sometime chickens...with vegetables) and for deserts; fruits, cake and cookies every night and lunch! Breakfast are the best meals of the day with a cook who is cooking your eggs or an omellet for you.
Most of the personnel are really nice, animators are really friendly...I had 3 really good basic spanish lessons and the Night shows I saw were good !
The value of this resort is between 30-35$ CAN a day all inclusive ! This hotel is the first hotel in Varadereo...at 4-5 km from downtown, there no public transportation (red bus) So you have to take a taxi to go downtown.
I had a nice 4 days but my expectations were low, I was there by myself to rest...the beach is nice but has clean has other resort in Varadero, I went before. The pool was clean every morning. One hour after the shown around 11:00 PM the disco music stop...so people who want to party goes out and other ca go to sleep!
I have save on the resort, and I book one day in La Havana with the Sunwing Representant ( his name his Orlando, really nice !)
My opinion 3-4 days is OK ...if you go there to read, rest, but not more a week can be little long, because of the food, the resort is not well located & and not a lot of thing to do !
