Good morning from Varadero, Cuba. I have come to show you a little bit the place where I am, the Starfish Cuatro Palmas Hotel. If I remember correctly, this is the third time we have visited this Hotel and the last one was two years ago.
We had said that we would try to come every year but due to life's circumstances it was not possible for us to fulfil this wish. We like it here. The facilities are nice but simple and the staff are super friendly, and also very efficient, which makes us feel at home.

Perhaps for many people and mainly for international tourism this is a cheap hotel. It comes out at about 30 or 31 USD per night, according to the informal exchange rate we have right now in Cuba and the only one that exists because the state does not sell dollars.
However, for the average Cuban, whose monthly salary is less than 4000 CUP, it is not cheap. We are talking about 9999 CUP per night per person and we have booked 3 nights.
We spent the whole year saving for this moment when we can be here together, enjoying some... very idle time. Oh, hallelujah, we don't have to cook or do any chores at home. We have breakfast, lunch and dinner on an all-inclusive basis and can indulge in leisure and pleasure. There is nothing like this sea and the breathtaking views of sunrises and sunsets here.
One is left naked in front of so much beauty ... LOL
This is a hotel that is visited by many Canadian tourists. They are very sociable. In fact two years ago I met an older gentleman with whom I talked a lot and laughed too. Guess what... just yesterday we were talking about him and today we met him in the lobby bar. We couldn't believe it. He says he thought of me last week. He just arrived last night at 10 o'clock.
And I wonder... what are the chances of us meeting here again if we never had any communication after we met here two years ago and chatted a bit?
This cat says it's all very strange.
But let's see that here in the Hotel there is a small stall selling handicrafts.
There are no dogs here, only cats. Unless there are any wearing a costume.
Lots of hats because the sun is so strong... I don't want anything to do with the beach right now. I prefer early in the morning or close to sunset.
Here I am having a beer to refresh myself. I forgot to tell you that all drinks are included, you can drink all day long, and get drunk as you please... I hardly drink at all.
However, I have noticed that the customers are very respectful and handle this accessibility to drinks of all kinds very well.
They agree with me. 😁
Am I seeing correctly or do cats and owls look alike? I see a lot of cats wearing costumes here too.
If you have a secret you can keep it in one of these little boxes. They seem to be difficult to open. Or maybe we can put our Hive keys in here.
They sell a lot of things for decoration like rattles, souvenirs, handmade clothing and also these nice wooden spoons for those who like to have their kitchen well stocked with utensils and useful things.
I wonder what this lady is doing? LOL. She says she has a lot of friends in Hive that she can't neglect.
She has a friend.
Just now the Canadian gentleman passed by.... I had a bit of a chat with him, telling him about Hive and I hear there's some action in the pool.
Aqua gym.
Maybe my mother and aunt are around. Maybe there are even cats dancing, who knows.

Oh, que lugar tan hermoso y agradable, me gustaría visitarlo ya que veo que atienden muy bien a nosotros los gatos 😺🥰 jejeje.
Que sigas disfrutando de tus días de relax, feliz fin de semana 😺🌞💃🏻
Jejeje... me has hecho reír! Creo que sí, que efectivamente deberías visitar Cuba y este Hotel.
Ooops, ya regresé al otro paraíso que es mi casa.
Gracias. 😘
Jejeje, por supuesto que me encantaría conocer Cuba, mi hermana ya ha ido dos veces y le ha encantado así que ya me toca a mi también 😁🤞🏻.
Ahhh bueno, a disfrutar de la casita también 🥰.
Saludos 😺🤘🏻🤗
😜💯✨
I see some owls that want to take the limelight from the cats, typical of owls haha 😂
What a nice hotel, expensive or not, a permit is fine 😁
You have a lot of relatives around the world. They told me about you. 😄
The hotel and the time there are always wonderful, Buhito. It's worth spending three days of pure leisure.

Woo 😍 Those views are incredible 🙌 love that the staff are friendly and efficient, makes all the difference. Enjoy your chats with the Canadian gentleman... Maybe he'll become a Hive friend too! 🧡
Yes, it is. I am spreading the word of Hive. Hahaha... Sounds like a cult.
Thanks 👋🏻🏖️
The hotel is for cat lovers 😍 as well as it looks so much good about it's location and architecture, crystal clear pool I love everything about it.
I can clearly see ocean from the hotel.
Yes, that picture where you can see the sea behind... because the sea is so beautiful and blue here.
I will surely post some more pictures. Just stay tuned.
Thank you, @mojiko-blog 😊
I'm looking forward to it
👍🏻
Looks a great place to put your feet up and relax.... No aqua aerobics, thank you...just pina coladas!!
You really know how to enjoy life! 😄😜 There are moments when that's all I do. I put my feet up and order a lot of piña coladas.
LOL, One life one chance
Live it never dream it
I miss places like this.
Oh, I hope you will be able to enjoy such a place very soon.
A very nice place. I hope you enjoyed your stay there with the fur friends. 🫶
Thank you. I am having a good time, for sure. 😉

Awesome job @nanixxx! Keep pushing yourself and you'll reach your Hive goals before you know it.
Wowww what a place!!! I love it and this sculpture!
But you know cats are my downfall!!!!! And those owls! Oh I love everything!
😁 I just to learn another word,downfall.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know - cats, rooms, views, owls and all of that - nice.
but a piano, covered and hidden behind Mamani? 👀
Verás.
No es un piano común y corriente.
😄
Tchaika. A Russian piano 🎶
No? Y qué hace? Toca solo?
Jajaja... Tiene un 🔒 lo ves?
sí, lo he visto 🔒
Why did they do that to the Russian piano?
😅 🤷🏻♀️
You know that if you come here one day, this piano must be unlocked for you to play.
That marble lady looks familiar, I think she visited me recently. I love seeing you happy, and also those “how many chances are there of ...” coincidences. Nice see you later photo.
A hug and greetings to all
She has a reputation for escapism. She often escapes from the hotel to visit certain people who speak the same language as her.
😄
A hug, gracias por enviar saludos para todos.
I know it 😁
I don't know how long you will be there, but I wish you all the best.
Saludos y abrazos para toda la familia
😜
De ahora mismo... ¿Ves? A cat-friendly hotel.
Reservamos aquí 3 noches. Son 4 días en total pues la salida es mañana a las 4.
Lo veo, quiero ser 😺. 😅
Disfrutar del día que os queda. 🤗
¡Gracias!
¡Ay qué lindo todo! Las vacaciones son algo que siempre hay que tomar regularmente, ¡sigue disfrutando!
😅🤪
💯% de acuerdo! Gracias amiguita.
😉🐱
I love that sunset shot and that the hotel is cat-friendly, hehe maybe someday I can visit it and take Milo 😹
Enjoy your vacations and unwind. I love the beach but lately, I also try not to be too exposed to the sun, so I love sunsets by the sea.
Enjoy 😘
The sun is terrible. I now have three colours... It's like a work of art with solar gradient.
😜🤭😂
Jaja!!! Gosh! I think you need to take some sun to even out that tan. If you had wanted to do that gradient on purpose you wouldn't have made it 😂😂.
😂😅
The first one I got from my cycling trip to Baracoa. And then here... The canvas is completed.
Thanks @coquicoin for your good wishes. Hopefully one day you will come to Varadero, you know you can even bring the cat.
😉
It is undoubtedly a hotel for a pleasant rest, with many attractions. If it is exclusive for an ordinary Cuban, what can we say for an ordinary Venezuelan like me? I had a very pleasant stay in it. Best regards, @nanixxx.
It is really very expensive for people who only receive a salary for working for the state. It is a sad reality. I, if I only worked as a journalist, would not be able to have this experience.
Thank you my dear friend for the visit. 😉
Mamani con su libreta!! Jiji, pronto veremos el resultado 🤭.
Están lindas esas artesanías de madera, al menos diferentes de las que puedes encontrar en otros lugares.
El universo conspira...que probabilid hay de que coincidieran con el Sr. Canadiense?...y ahí están 😆.
Porfa, manifiesta que para el próximo año elaboren alimentos libre de gluten en ese o cualquier otro hotel de Varadero!!! Yo he manifestado, pero tú sabes que yo..... jajajajaja.
Amanda yo vengo al hotel con ellos porque ellos prefieren así, por el tema del todo incluído, pero a mí me sirve cualquier lugar donde pueda disfrutar de la naturaleza. El lugar de dormir lo mismo puede ser una casa de renta, que una casa de campaña...lo que sea. El río, la montaña,el mar, es lo que me hace feliz.
Pues nos vamos a acampar para Canasí, ahí hay todo lo que te hace feliz...y más!!!
✨💯
Awwww!... It's a beautiful place, simple, neat and looks well maintained!... But the best of all is that cat-friendly thing!!!... What could be better in a hotel? .. Ah... And that last sunset seascape photo... What a photo @nanixxx friend!... A poem, a postcard!... Thank you for sharing this enjoyable post!

Gracias amigo 🙏🏻. Es tan agradable poder disfrutar aquí. Hoy el hotel nos invitó a una cena para clientes que han estado acá otras veces. ((Uf, creo que comí más de la cuenta)) El restaurante estaba lleno de huéspedes. Se ve que muchos prefieren este hotel.
¡Un abrazo y feliz noche!
:)) Buen provecho pues!!!!! hahaha... Feliz noche a todos por allá!
Jajaja... Fueron trasladados sus buenos deseos a todos. Gracias.
