Paradisus Princesa, Varadero

Hi Deborah, well we are back from a wonderful trip. Paradisus was very nice, and the food was great so that was nice!! Also, theres live music at the buffet everyday, and its just perfect for every meal, we even bought their CD!! The ALA Cartes were excellent too. The beach there is actually man made, with lots of crushed seashells, but still beautiful none the less. We went to Varadero a few times to the beach there, its even nicer, and a lot more powdery. The room was beautiful, very clean and cleaned well every day. The grounds were very nice. The people in Cuba are amazing, you can walk anywhere, anytime and feel totally safe, that in itself is a very good feeling. We met up with a guy from the resort and his wife in Varadero, they invited us to eat with them and brought us all over Varadero. We went bowling, did some mechanical bull riding, and went for a nice walk through a beautiful park. It was just ausome. We took a trip to Old Havana, and that was amazing, the city is beautiful, even though its falling down!! But the architecture there is just gorgeous. The water was a beautiful blue and crystal clear. I did some snorkeling almost everyday in front of the resort. Saw some huge starfish, and a few schools of fish and a couple sea slugs, but not too much else, its mostly all white sand, so not a whole lot going on down there!! There were a few jellyfish rolled up on the beach, but didn't see any when snorkeling or swimming. The weather was ausome, other than how windy it was there. Some days if you were in the shade, it was a bit cool due to the amount of wind, but that made great for playing in the waves. It was sunny everyday!! it was a bit cool a couple nights because the wind was still pretty strong, but most nights was no problem wearing shorts and a tee. (Someone mentioned that the week we were there was known as the windy week, Cubans know that this week every year is extra windy-- if that makes any sense?!!) The shows at night were actually quite good. The pool show and the acrobatics show i guess were very cool.
We would definitely go back to Cuba, we both loved it, and we thank you for providing us with another perfect trip!!!!
Attached are a couple pictures.. If you need to know anything else just let me know..
