Our final stop in Cuba was Varadero, it was a debate whether to come here or not
since it is a major resort destination. However, we spoke to a few Cubans who
said it was stunning regardless of the resorts and if you stayed in one the
resorts a little down the beach then it was very enjoyable. We chose an all
inclusive resort. All inclusive was
everything apart from top shelf liquor and massages. After arriving just behind
a large tour group we took 45 minutes to check in – appalling. We dumped our
bags in the room and rushed down to the 24 hour snack bar and ordered Cuba
Libres while waiting for our burgers. This was my first experiences of
turquoise water, it was stunning and looked like it had been airbrushed. The
water was warmer than anything I had experienced and cleaner than you could
possibly imagine. It was the most typically beautiful beach I have ever seen.
And that was us for three nights, eat drink and sleep. The
only decision was where to do the eating and drinking. On the final night we
were treated to the most spectacular thunder and lightning storm I have ever
seen. It took up the whole horizon looking out towards America and had four
centres of activity where the lightening would originate from. It went on for
hours and lit up the whole sky.
The all inclusive experience was very enjoyable but this particular
resort has a long way to come. Things like not cleaning the toilets regularly,
not clearing plates, a strange booking system for some of the restaurants,
little and non coherent information about the resort and what facilities are
there and how it works.
