Hotel 2-Star di Matanzas, Cuba

Hotel in the heart of Varadero. Not in the hotel area. The location is very convenient. To the beach 2 minutes. Very good and not expensive bar in the hotel. For breakfast, ham and cheese omelet or ham and cheese sandwich + coffee + cola. They clean every other day, change the bed / towels, wash the room, everything is fine with this, the staff is friendly. There are almost no Russians, only locals. The room has air conditioning, refrigerator, cable TV, everything works. A soft bed, a shower, a toilet without complaints, the water has a weak pressure and heats up for a long time, but this is not critical. For tourists who do not care / do not need animation / all inclusive is ideal. Sleep, have breakfast, and get away/go away for the day - perfect.

The hotel is very cost-effective; all meals are included; there are two beaches and two swimming pools; the property is spacious; the building hardware is very good; there are many European, Canadian, and Russian guests; check-in is limited to 4 pm; the bar is open only three days a week and one night, which is a bit of a sparse schedule; the large pool lacks cleaning and water changes; there is a difference in treatment between Canadian and travel agency residents; tipping is key to good service in every aspect; you need to change your money before entering the hotel; the self-service omelette and meat buffet is very slow and you have to wait in line; there was a power outage and the lack of energy storage diesel engine made it difficult to issue room cards; there is only a few Wi-Fi spots, not in the dorms; the cell phone signal in the dorms is poor, so you have to go to a small beach near other hotels; the rooms have large TVs; the mosquitoes are very aggressive, so you need to bring all the pest control spray;
