We were actually booked into the BeLive Turquesa, but unfortunately it was still closed for renovations and we were rebooked into the Las Morlas. What must be said is that you need to know the situation in Cuba before you travel here. It is not comparable to other countries where you can also go on all-inclusive holidays. The Las Morlas is a small, cozy hotel right at the beginning of Varadero. You can easily walk into the center, which has huge advantages as you save a lot of taxi costs :) Everything is a bit old and needs to be renovated urgently, a lot of the furniture is very worn and the bathrooms are really just a disaster, there is no other way to put it. The rooms themselves are cozy and modern but there is rust, stains and signs of wear everywhere. There is mold in the hallway and the hotel itself is in need of renovation. The pool area and the garden are always well looked after and very clean, and are also very cozy and beautiful. The whole staff is just great, everyone there does their best and we felt very comfortable and would like to say thank you again to the whole Las Morlas team :) Unfortunately our room didn't have such a nice view, we were in the corner so unfortunately no pool view or anything like that, we wanted to change our room because the bathroom was also really bad but unfortunately that wasn't possible because the hotel was already fully booked, but we accepted it and were relatively satisfied in the end, you really only sleep in the hotel. :) You just have to know that you're in Cuba, there are days when there's no bread or eggs etc. The food itself is OK but Cuba isn't exactly the best ;) What we really missed was some entertainment, there was a mini team which did a little shop demonstration in the evenings but unfortunately there were no sports activities like aqua gym fitness etc. Especially because there's not much to do in Varadero in the evenings it would be great if the hotel offered something :) Otherwise we were happy and would recommend Las Morlas to others ;) The bathrooms urgently need to be renovated and some of the furniture needs to be replaced (hotel lobby etc.) but Cuba simply doesn't have the resources for that so we fully understand the situation. You won't go wrong with the Las Morlas, you just have to be aware of which country you are travelling to ;) PS little tip: take wet toilet paper with you, that saved us as there is little toilet paper and take thermos cups for drinks so you don't support those plastic cups that unfortunately fly around everywhere on the beach as holidaymakers don't have any rubbish bins. ;)
