Before arriving to Varadero from the airport, there is a spectacular cenote called Cueva de Saturno. It's a fantastic stop for swimming in a freshwater cave.
Resort staff work very hard for low wages. Tips (in hard currency) make a huge difference in their lives and ensure excellent service. It's the most important thing you can do.
Small gifts such as medicine, hygiene items, school supplies for staff children or clothing are incredibly appreciated, often more than money.
Don't count on being able to buy even the most basic medications. Bring everything you might need, including mosquito repellent and high-factor sunscreen.
You can feel completely safe anywhere on the peninsula, at any time. Tourist safety is the top priority.
It's a popular way to get around, but be aware of traffic and road conditions. Always wear a helmet.
