My boyfriend and I stayed for a week at the Gran Caribe Puntarena and what a deal. The rooms were clean, food was actually quite good.

You can walk out several hundred feet and the water doesn't go above your waist. Varadero & Cuba The Bad... Hotel has three elevators...one never works, one rarely worked and the other overworked.
