Veradero is a peninsular approximately 3.5 hours by Viazul from Havana. This tranquil popular destination on the Florida Straits is lined with hotels offering fully inclusive packages. For three nights, we stayed in Cuatro Palmas, Mercure Hotel, with its own private swimming pool overlooking the sea with four restaurants (International, Cuban, Italian, Buffet).
 
Choosing a holiday resort is an excellent option for great food and free flowing drinks whether you intend to sip on beer all day or knock back a few Cuba Libres (rum and coke). A tourist bus will take you up the peninsular where you can visit other hotel resorts or go into the central market to purchase handmade Cuban souvenirs.
 
At night the resorts display plenty of entertainment, but just take a step out of your hotel and you will just need to follow the Samba music to find the nearest late night street party. Varadero is a popular destination for gay couples enjoying their honeymoon or a romantic break away.
