It was my 4th trip to Cuba, the 9th for my husband; it was my first vacation in Varadero but the 3rd one for my him. All three times he went to Sol Palmeras resort. I love Cuba. Regardless of issues with food or rooms, Cuba’s coast is one of the kind and people are amazing. Vacation in Sol Palmeras was great by all means. 1st - the food was nice: 1. the first resort with tasty pizza (what a relief on vacation with the kids 😀) ; my son had a plate full of it at every meal, 2. focaccia (rosemary focaccia was my favourite) 3.there was a choice of greens and other vegetables, sometimes even avocados and guacamole 4. there were choices of seafood, roast beef, pulled beef, turkey etc on every meal 5. the seafood station had an amazing fish, even our daughter who is a very picky eater had 3-4 pieces of fish for every lunch and dinner, but honestly I’ve travelled a lot in my life but that fish melted in mouth and the taste of it… heavenly; of course one needs to ask chefs to spice it up while cooking, but they are masters (I wish I’d asked for their names which I will next time); I’d return there just to eat that fish again. The choice of sweets and resents isn’t as big as in other resorts, but for me that isn’t a must. There are a few small restaurants other than a main restaurant. We went to two and both had nice choices. With an extra fee one can get a fresh, big lobster and a steak dinner… and let me tell you that steak was the best I’ve ever had. The fact that our son gave it 10/10, which has never happened in any restaurant with any type of food speaks for itself. I guess it was the matter of non-GMO beef which we are used to in North America. 2nd the bar tenders are generous 😀🍹, if you know what I mean. The drinks were just right, not too strong, tasty and of a wide variety. My favourite was Daquiri and Pina Colada of course. There were virgin drinks for kids too, which they were really happy with. 3rd the room was the best I’ve had ever in Cuba. We got an upgrade to a Junior Suite - two connected rooms, one with a queen bed and one with a sofa bed, two tv sets, separate entrances from each room to a huge balcony with our own beach chairs where I could enjoy sunbathing without other tourists around. There was one common bathroom in the room, quite neat one. The room was worth every penny, gave both us-parents and our kids privacy and space to do what everyone enjoyed. 4th the front desk, customer service, cleaners, gardeners, technicians (we had an issue with the door lock), entertainment team were kind and helpful. Our special thanks to Juanita and Anna for fulfilling our requests promptly, to their best and with heartwarming kindness. Cuban kindness and warmth is a value that I treasure big time. I’ve also had my first and private trip to Havana. And oh man! I’m amazed, I love that city!! The downtown is so beautiful, those old buildings, historic places, local people, Hemingway’s bar Floridita with the best Cuban drinks and life music one wou
