Today was very frustrating. We drove from Trinidad to Varadero. We had saved the best part of the vacation for last. An all inclusive hotel that was supposed to have paddle boards, surf boards, kayaks, catamarans, hobby cat sail boats and more, plus all the food and drinks that you could eat and drink. We got there at about 2pm and our room wasn't ready. They said it would be ready in about an hour. So we had some lunch and hung out in the lobby. Our room didn't end up being ready until after 6pm, and they didn't even give us the room we reserved. We were supposed to have a family suite that had 2 bedrooms and a living room, but instead they just gave us 2 regular rooms. The customer service was terrible. This was supposed to be a 5 star hotel. The all inclusive food was sub-par, and they would never unlock all of the beach toys. They said that it was too windy and there were too many waves. This is the ocean for heaven sakes. To say we were disappointed is putting it mildly. The kids were really good sports and made the best of it. We still enjoyed swimming in the ocean and the hotel pools. And Garret loved the ice cream bar. He ate a ton of ice cream cones at each meal.

We said goodbye to our driver when he dropped us off at the hotel in Varadero.

The kids finally dragged their suitcases out of the room that they were holding them for us while we were waiting for our room to be done. They got their swimsuits on and went swimming in the hotel pool.
