Virgin Holidays View
It's on that fabulous Varadero Beach, and there are all manner of activities available, including windsurfing and catamarans, plus you'll find Cuba's only golf course right next door - it has a few water hazards, so bring plenty of balls! The dining selections range from La Arcada for romantic, candlelit evenings, to La Robleza, a grill for lunch! There are plenty of bars, too, with cocktails the speciality of the Jazz Bar, where you can enjoy nightly entertainment from dancers and musicians. The hotel also has lessons in all kinds of things including Spanish and cocktail mixing (sounds fun). To get yourself into the Caribbean vibe, why not start the holiday with a nice massage?
