Delighted and charmed
Ravi et charmé

After two trips to Trinidad, I found this offer in Cienfuegos at the Meliá San Carlos. Transportation number 1 takes 1 hour and 20 minutes by taxi from Abel Santa Clara Airport. The hotel is nice, well-renovated, beautiful, clean, and very well located for exploring Cienfuegos. Don't rely on the hotel's breakfasts or coffee. Opt instead for the coffee at José Martí Park and the excellent, inexpensive restaurants in the evening on or near the Prado. The Meliá staff didn't speak French and seemed uninformed about local activities. Bring a beach towel. There's a pool at the neighboring hotel, and the beach is a 20-minute walk away; it costs about US$20 round trip if you haggle. It's useful to exchange US dollars for pesos (approximately 410 to US$1), which is handy for some museums, buying bread or clementines on the street, or paying at restaurants. There's no electricity in the evening, but there's a generator for the hotel, restaurants, and bars. I paid US$100 for a view of the city. Magnificent for photos and a general view of Cuban life. We didn't regret it, but be warned: while quiet in the evening and at night, in the morning at sunrise and throughout the day it's a very noisy and lively street. We will certainly return for the kindness and smiles of the Meliá staff and Cubans in general, and for this incredible and surprising city at every turn.

Après deux fois à Trinidad , il y a cette offre à Cienfuegos au Mélia San Carlos.
Transport no 1 de 1h 20 de l'aéroport Abel Santa Clara en taxi
Bel hôtel bien rénové , beau , propre et très bien situé pour découvrir Cienfuegos
Ne pas se fier sur les déjeuners ou le café de l`hôtel. Préférer le café au parc José Marti et les excellents et pas chers restaurants le soir sur le Prado ou aux alentours
Le personnel du Mélia ne parlait pas francais et semblait peu au courant des activités Prévoir apporter une serviette de plage
Piscine à l`hôtel voisin et la plage à 20 minutes vous coûte environ 20 US aller retour si vous marchandez
Utile de changer argent us en pesos (environ 410 pour 1$ US) pratique pour certains musées ou pour acheter pain ou clémentines sur la rue ou pour payer aux restaurants
Pas électricité soir mais génératrice pour hôtel et restaurants et bars.
Payé 100$ à l'achat pour vue sur la ville. Magnifique pour photos et vue générale sur vie cubaine Nous avons pas regretté ,mais attention car si tranquille le soir et la nuit , le matin au lever du soleil et toute la journée c'est une rue très bruyante et animée
On y retourne certainement pour la gentillesse et le sourire du personnel du Mélia et des Cubains en général et de cette ville incroyable et surprenante à tous les coins de rue
