Has Anyone Here Been To Cuba?
#4
I was in Veradero Cuba in February.

I think there are about a couple of dozen hotels along this penisula.

We stayed at the Sol Palmeras, part of the Sol Melia chain of hotels. The hotel is a little bit dated (probably about 15 years old) but it was nice enough. We actually stayed in the bungalos because I brought the kids too.

The beaches were excellent! The food wasn't bad. Our resort had a main dining hall with a large selection of food as well as 5 other specific restaurants. A couple of them were open air (thatched roof and no walls.) Even though you were eating outside there was an eerie absence of any bugs. None of the opening windows had any screens in the hotel rooms. You can't do that in Canada.

Be prepared for a lot of second hand smoke, however. Cuba does not have the advanced anti-smoking by-laws that we have here.

Book a catamaran tour if you go. They take you out all day, stop at a reef for some snorkling, stop where you can swim with the dolphins, and drop you off at a secluded island where they serve an excellent seafood lunch (2 huge prawns that circle your plate plus 4 mini lobster tails.) They give some time to enjoy the beach there before they take you back to the mainland.

Here is picture of Al Capone's house along the same beach:
