We are after a week of round trip by the West for five days in Cuba this hotel-and have us wonderfully relaxed!
The hotel is exclusively for couples or singles without children. The has contributed to the beach and the area is also for that reason very beautiful and quiet.
The beach is super wide (a rarity in Varadero)
The food is very good (a rarity on Cuba)
The room and the whole area were very well maintained (a rarity on Cuba)
