The tainos is a very good all inclusive hotel. Except the hangers, the always down and the way too cold set air conditioning in the theater i can absolutely nothing complain about. It could be however also on the mediterranean. Varadero is a tourist place and the typical karíbische flair i found here. That is the only reason, why i would not recommend. If you Cuba experience and feel wanted, could be better to Havanna. The evening shows with absolute professional dancers really had a very high standard.
