Accommodations


We have reserved a block of rooms at the beautiful Hotel Iberostar Laguna Azul (ILA) in Varadero, Cuba.  We were fortunate enough to visit the resort prior to our wedding and received a full tour of the property and guest rooms during our last visit to Varadero last August and this is what we discovered.
