If you leave the resort, make sure you ASK FOR THE MENU BEFORE YOU ORDER ANYTHING. F*cking commies charged me and the gf 30 CUC for a shitty meal and 1 beer at a restaurant in Varadero city.

Take the bus from the airport to the hotel. Taxis will rip you off.

Make sure you bring all the cash you will need. There is no ATM or CC capacity anywhere in Cuba. And BTW, Cuba isn't cheap since they make foreigners use the CUC. Whatever you think you will spend, bring 2X that amount.

Bring CDN. The USD exchange rate is horrible and subject to a 10% penalty or something like that.

Damn, Varadero has one of the world's best beaches, but the country is definitely a POS. That's what they get after 50 years of unrepentant communism!
