Rated as a two star hotyel. I have stayed here many timjes. It's the most reasonably priced hotel in all of Varadero. Last time it was $40/night including a buffet breakfast with a limit of one egg. The pool and rooms are clean and there is a safety deposit box, T.V. with cable, and on a good day hot water! They have Cubans staying there as well.

Hello,
I am looking for a nice catamaran trip and good price.
Can you advice a company and tell me the cost ?
Thank you.
Stefano.
Hello Stefano,
I remember a nice catamaran tour at Cayo Las Brujas, Santa Maria. It was a singla day long tour. On the way, we did snorkeling, swim with dolphins and also visit a strange ship wreck.
I don't really remember the price, maybe €20/person?

Here we are at Varadero. Here you can find the most important hotels and touristic villages all built along the coast......it's a beautiful place with an incredible sea....even if most people think to make a trip to Cuba visiting Varadero only.
Well It's a beautiful place but it's not Cuba the real Cuba I mean. If you wanna descover the real cuban atmosphere you must go to Habana......and more...
The Cuban convertible peso CUC is the sole currency accepted for payment of goods and services. It is no longer at par with the US dollar. Foreign currency can be exchanged at Cadeca exchange booths found in Cuba's international airports and in urban areas. as well as in banks and major hotels. Exchange of US currency is subject to a 10% fee in addition to the exchange rate difference. Canadian currency - cash and traveller's cheques with the exception of American Express, may be exchanged for CUCs without the 10% fee. CUCs can be exchanged for Canadian dollars at international airports before leaving the country. It is not possible to exchange CUCs outside of Cuba.
NB My hotel offered 90 CUCs for 100 Canadian dollars. A little bank kiosk in the Hotel offered 94 CUCs for 100 Canadian dollars. I changed just what I needed for our tour to Havana, two departure tax of 25 CUCs and a bit of pocket money for tips and souvenirs, just so I wouldn't have any leftover. I spent my last two CUCs at the airport so it worked out well.
Update: December 2010
As there was no bank yet at the RIU, we could be taken by golf cart shuttle to the nearby La Serenis Resort where there was a Cadeca Exchange Booth. I got 50.75 CUC for my $60.00 CDN or an exchange rate of .84583.
Not really a tip, but I can't fit all my pictures into "Overview".
Anyway, motorvehicles are part of the allure & culture of Cuba, so here is a Cuban post office van!
This mid-to-late 1980s Dodge Caravan is made in Canada, as are most "American" cars built since the early 1960s that one sees in Cuba.
When you are going home from Cuba they follow the rules very closely when it comes to the weight of your suitcase so remember not to bring too much stuff that you have to take home again. Mosquito Repellent -Mosquito Repellent -Mosquito Repellent
I can´t say that enough bring the strongest stuff you can find. I have heard that white tigerbalm (not sure if it´s the right name in english) should be good.
