Hotel Aguas Azules^{(3 stars)}

the rooms are old, but clean. Air-conditioned, safe against price. TV but no German channels, so no TV.

Against the drinks dining is fine. I could also six star useless. The food was also a tasty, however the selection is limited. Against there are however the appropriations, not every day of every dish a low cost, but every day only a dish costs, on the other from a other and so on you have almost every day a bit other eaten. There is very often Prawns, fish, and red meat. Salad and fruit is very poor. Kitchen style is rather typical of the country. Boiled, roasted bananas, time error bars, pumpkin, etc. I enjoyed it. I have but also definitely not my local kitchen longed for, but the Cuban palate addicted. Every afternoon and evening there is live in the music. In the lobby of the more often wing played. Violin concert a time I attend. The atmosphere is very friendly, nice. The staff they were glad for tips and then also be a lot more trouble. the coffee in the lobby is very delicious...

the staff are always friendly. But sometimes for unsereinen to left. Caribbean and socialist serenity, what a but definitely not to disturb. Just the soul infect leave. With English you come through, only German will difficult. Cleaning of the rooms was always excellent. I never had to complain. In the hotel there are very small Fitness studio, behind this one sauna, child care is offered, currency exchange in the hotel. the only thing problem, which was annoying after a while, even the staff try, after a two sentences with a exchanged have, cigars or other there were instruction. Be careful! All counterfeiting, the cigars, the outside of the tubes or buy original factories are all from some by-products, or similar abara rotated. Are mostly 1-2 CUC the piece, very attractive, but this is price not worth it, because it also not enjoyable therefore, rather. A few cUC more pay but the true tobacco enjoy. In Trinidad there tobacco key which they could work, the process also good and relatively cheap tobacco. Original cigars of Guantanamera are also very cheap and excellent taste.

two pool landscapes, with a you have your absolute peace, with the other was something going on. At the beach there is also a snack and drinks bar, you have to lunch not to the hotel. The hotel's own beach is about 3 to 5 minutes achieved.

the hotel is on a very large area laid out. There is not a large volume of complex, but rather spacious. Partly are also in the hotel area two-storey bungalows, the in my opinion preferably are, as in all the hotel are hotel guests loud, very late to your room, entertained noisy in the hallways and slamming doors too. If you have a early riser is, as I, the creepy. This would happen in the event of the bungalows not, since you are the only one neighbor shares. But for the behavior the hotel guests the hotel can do anything about, but only to sleep was changed. In comparison to the surrounding 5 star hotels, which I from time to time also visited and I received information from fellow traveller, the Aguas Azules had a bar, open 24 hours (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). It is true that the hotel older hotel is, but I believe that in his age fantastic condition. It was always always everything was clean. I am all inclusive and was very satisfied with it. In the hotel we had mixed clientele, young and old, but much more than in young other hotels, because this hotel to the surrounding rather reasonably priced and probably the younger the more expensive could not afford. The hotel is 4 star rated by category, of my tour operators with 3.5-star. I stayed for two weeks all inclusive about 1530 euros paid, a fellow traveller has a few for a hotel five star hotel 2500 euros paid. A thousand more, for the same beach and sea. Clear this is a 5 * hotel little better been, but it was a thousand more in absolutely no way value. The value for money is in this hotel so unbeatable. In the hotel were too many Canadians, both French, as well as English speaking. The way without exception very open minded and very friendly were. (unfortunately) the unpleasant or other German on, but there were very few German tourists in the hotel.

The airport Varadero is one half an hour away. But neither noise from the planes a flight nearby in the sky and see. The town center of the double-decker bus in Varadero about 10 to 15 minutes reachable. The specificity of the double-decker is, you pay for 5 CUC one (is about 5 euros) and you can the whole day in order to go, get off and re-enter, in both directions, as often as you wanted. This is also very regularly until 20 o'clock. If you were the surrounding hotels to consider, in the town center that is you want to go, etc. the best possibility. In the town center you have also options for shopping. Entertainment possibilities of course in the hotel, with entertainment and the hotel's own disco. In the town center there is the famous notorious 62 street, to me by my guide has been recommended. I had a place for nightly parties asked. The party starts against 22-23 hours initially in and on the street to, loud music and Getanze, salsa, etc., afterwards go slow on the Havana Club at the end of the street and until 3 o'clock at night there... However here you will get a big disappointment, turned out to be at the club look at a huge large brothel. Almost all women in society prostitute (very sad). Hardly any people there, the only to celebrate are there. Went there once and then never again. Opportunities for excursions offers the tour operators plenty of. City tours and other, with the prices extremely overpriced are. It is worth definitely the tour in the capital Havana (Havana). Dreamlike nice, as in the picture. Definitely book. One day was but way too short, at least two, if possible even three days, there is lots to see and lots to experience. Here one experiences the real Cuba. The old town is just dreamlike. Not to mention, the bars at the top of the buildings, from which you beautiful view of the city, the people of the variety and so on the only thing sobering is the fact that not so many were offered (consumer goods). Socialism stop, but it is also true, that you all consumption 'mess' really you don't need. The shopping is not as at home with a surplus of goods. What you in absolutely no way do (a only Torture), it is essential that all three cities tour organizers praised (Trinidad, Santa Clara, Cienfuegos). You spend the whole day in the bus, about 9-10 hours and in each stop 15 to 20 minutes about. It was a torture, the is unparalleled. So my tip, definitely Trinidad, Cienfuegos and Santa Clara visit, very beautiful cities worth seeing, however spread over several days. You may for example only transfer book. Go early, get firstly a place to stay and remain on a site on night. Otherwise you have anything from the city or tired. Santa Clara is important because of the Che Guevara mausoleums, with tomb and museum and huge large monument of Che. Trinidad is a wonderful town located on the Caribbean coast. Here you can get everything Cigarren, hand bags, chains, jewelry etc. for almost free. Varadero is exaggerated overpriced.
