BeLive Experience Turquesa Hotel, Varadero Cuba. 4 stars.

Poor Linda

Bad
The food was not great; almost everything was cooked on a grill. Food consisted of pork, chicken breasts, beef, some lamb, and fish. All of these were in 1/4 inch slices, usually overcooked. You had to tell the chef to stop cooking before it turned to shoe leather. They had good pasta, and grilled fried whole shrimp (head, shell and veins) about six times a week. Showers in the rooms had next to no water pressure. Toilets hardly flushed.

Nice
Oasis Turquesa was fantastic(4 Star). It was our first visit to Cuba. Our arrival and check-in went super fast. The resort is nice and small, very clean, the beach fantastic, and the staff and General Manager, Alois, were exceptionally friendly. They have recently renovated all the rooms which are on 2 floors. They were just finishing building an Italian specialty restaurant, which we did not get to try. As well, there is now a new Mini-Club for the kids. The beach was fantastic. They have the most shaded huts on the beach. The sand and water were great and sailing, kyacking, paddle boats were all included. They had all kinds of daily activities and the entertainment at night was pretty good. I have seen a lot worse. The aquatic performance at night in the pool was exceptionally done. The costumes during this 45 minute show were like a Los Vegas show. Now about the food. It's all buffet. The food is prepared fresh and displayed very nicely. Fresh fish all the time and pasta any way you want it, pizza always available and desserts were ok but almost always the same. I would have prefered staying for 10 days instead of only 7 day. Maybe on our next visit. I would recommend staying here if it's a nice quiet vacation you are looking for.
