No more Cuba for me...

Ron G (Oakville, Canada) on Oct 08, 2024

First things first, I have been to Cuba MANY times...I know (as a Canadian) you have to lower your standards a bit, you don't expect much food -wise, you go for the beach, safety, people, its cheap, etc...HOWEVER: I am writing in regards to my recent trip to Varadero Cuba the week of August 23-30, 2024. We stayed at the Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul which is rated a 4 Star hotel. This is NOT a 4 star hotel by any stretch of the imagination... Good: Outside the pools are great. If you have kids, they will love it. The beach is also fairly close - simple, beautiful...you will enjoy that as well. Bad: This hotel is nothing close to a 4 Star Hotel...the main lobby is nice, beyond that the rooms are really dated, and hope for the best in regards to working AC, water, toilets. If you get all three - WOW, you are lucky. Other guests told me horror stories... A significant amount of the hotel staff were rude...that was the most shocking part of the trip. They EXPECTED tips for everything, all the time, everyday... The food, you are not going to starve to death, but you are not going to get fat either, that's for sure. Caribbean fresh fruit was a treat...There were multiple guests that we met that became ill due to food poisoning, my partners son got food poisoning that last night of our trip - which made for a horrible travel day. One day we ventured out to eat local - only to be shocked at the dual menu policy in Cuba: One menu for tourists in USD, and other for locals in pesos. We went to a "highly rated" place called Mohito's - DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. We waited 3 hrs for some tacos and some fish that cost me $100USD...HORRIBLE BLATANT RIPOFF!!! From a security perspective we were placed at the far end of the hotel (family rooms) in which none of the lights in the very long hallway were functioning. In the evening - the hallway was pitch black. Very unsafe and very unsettling - even after multiple requests to fix the lights, some lights. One of our bathrooms did not work. The hotel is old, dated...none of the security boxes worked...terrible. The worst ripoff (and frankly dangerous) experience was the Air Canada Vacation promoted catamaran/snorkeling trip. The catamaran trip itself was nice, along with lunch at the deserted island (the BEST meal all week, by far). However, the snorkeling was non-existent (dead bleached coral, no fish) and there was ZERO supervision or life vest equipment given to the passengers/snorkelers entering the 15 feet deep water. Many kids, many compromised (i.e.: not strong) swimmers entered the water with nothing more that an optional floaty wrapped around their waist. Very crowded...It was shocking, very dangerous...someone will drown one day. I have been to Cuba many times (I.e.: I know what to expect) - but advertising vacations/hotels that are grossly subpar and upselling very expensive excursions that are outright dangerous is not acceptable. Air Canada (and others) are damaging their brand selling these garbage vacation packages and more concerning dangerous excursions. Cuba has lost its way, its no longer cheap enough to put up with all the BS described above...very sad. Recommendation: Spend a few bucks more - and eat well, drink well, have a great time. Time is finite - don't waste precious vacation/down time being miserable...
