The moment I stepped into Varadero, I was captivated by the minty water—the gradation of blue and green seemed to melt the starlight of the entire Caribbean Sea onto the waves. Barefoot on the sugar-like sand, I felt not only warmth but also the gentle touch of coral powder. Local fishermen paddled their wooden boats close to the shore, pulling still-twisting lobsters from buckets and grilling them, the butter dripping sizzling on the charcoal. Lying under a sunshade, sipping iced pineapple rum, watching palm fronds write in the breeze, I suddenly understood the Cuban saying, "We are so poor that only happiness remains." As the setting sun silhouetted the sailboats, someone played "Chan Chan" on a saxophone in the distance, and the sweet aroma of sea grapes wafted through the salty air.
Best bluest waters you can find on earth! The white sand… the clear waters… perfect for a beach day!

It's really a beautiful place with tall buildings and a wide sea. It's like the pearl of the Caribbean. And because Cuba is not very open, the prices are not very expensive!
This is the most worthwhile natural landscape cave park in Varadero. There are very large caves with various forms of stalactites, which are very strange and magical. The whole park is also very rich in green plants, with flowers blooming all year round, and the scenery is very beautiful.
