Sol Varadero Beach

This resort was brand new and quite small compared to others beside it, but it was absolutely great! The employees were always so nice and helpful, the beach wasn't super packed with people and there weren't lineups everywhere for the buffet and the bar. The only drawback is that there were A LOT of Russians compared to Canadians, and they made the experience a little less enjoyable. They yelled and partied until about 5am and you could hear them clearly from your room. They left 2 days after we arrived and the ambiance was a lot more enjoyable and friendly. Would definitely recommend, and will most likely revisit. [Details]

Plane was delayed 4 hrs. We (4ppl) decided to stay at the hotel instead at the airport and take a taxi later. We had bracelets until 12 am, but Mr. Bighead Sponge Bob, kind of frustrated manager, made a circus (he demanded the participation of security) that we were not "supposed" to be there. We lost 1/2 hr until his own staff at the reception explained the situation. No apologies made, we shall escalate this. [Details]
