When Shane was younger he had a guys trip to Cuba……they paid like $400 each and I am sure you can imagine what type of experience they had…….seriously guys…..what did you think would happen??
The food was terrible and they had to cross a road to get to the beach that they shared with the locals…….and when a man tried to sell him his 15 year old daughter for $10 well lets just say that was the kicker…..It took me till now to convince him to try it again!
We booked last minute, I got a great deal to Ocean Varadero el Patriarca for a quick 4 night get away! It was just what we needed!
We set out for the airport on a beautiful Sunday afternoon….I love the airport and always go early so I can not have to rush!
We arrived after dinner…….we threw our stuff in our room and went to look around…..
a.k.a.
Sweet!
We had a great trip! The resort was pretty good and even the food was ok! I mostly eat fish and fruit when I am in the Caribbean so I have never really had a problem in Cuba……
We hit the beach early in the morning until about 2 pm and then would move over to the pool for a few hours……
There was a great little coffee shop where we grabbed a iced coffee every afternoon…..
Evenings were fun….Just having a late leisurely dinner without rushing or having to clean up after was great!
Evening looks……
Night two
Night three
and night four
And some other random pics…..Just because……..
Overall it was a fantastic trip…..We stocked up on a few staple items!
yep!
I think we will head down to the Bahamas in August…..looking at resorts ….hoping to book in the next two weeks!
Looks like lots of fun! I have been to Cuba 3 times and always loved the resorts.

My boyfriends brother in law is actually from Cuba and while he prefers being a Canadian citizen he has some great stories about growing up there. Hoping to visit with him someday and get the “local” experience.
