Playa Prohibida

Δεν θα βρείτε καλύτερο γεύμα στην Κούβα από αυτό. Φτιάχνουν φρέσκα θαλασσινά ψημένα σε ξυλόφουρνο σε πολύ λογική τιμή. Η θέα είναι απόλυτα εκπληκτική και προσθέτει μια ολοκληρωτικά νέα διάσταση στην εμπειρία. Όταν επισκεφθήκαμε με την οικογένειά μου, ήμασταν οι μόνοι εκεί, κάτι που φαίνεται να είναι αρκετά συνηθισμένο. Η εξυπηρέτηση είναι άψογη και αν ποτέ έχω την ευκαιρία να επιστρέψω, θα το έκανα χωρίς δισταγμό.

The location, atmosphere, food, and staff at this beach are absolutely fantastic. There are no buildings in sight, just beautiful land and ocean on both sides, creating a calming and relaxing environment. I highly recommend trying the lobster seafood dish, which is absolutely incredible and priced at $20 US or $25 CND. During our visit, we had the pleasure of meeting Lenny, who can be seen in one of the attached pictures. It's quite amusing because Lenny doesn't actually own or work at this place; he just visits frequently, so now it's even named after him. If you're willing to spend $40 US on a taxi, I definitely recommend making the trip to Lenny's. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. In fact, it might even be the highlight of your vacation.

Το φαγητό σε αυτήν την παραλία είναι εξαιρετικό, με ένα πιάτο που κοστίζει $25 και περιλαμβάνει ουρά αστακού, γαρίδες και ψάρι. Είναι πραγματικά μια ευχάριστη εμπειρία. Επιπλέον, θα λατρέψετε την όμορφη θέα του ηλιοβασιλέματος. Η διαδρομή με το ταξί από το Memories Flamenco κοστίζει $35, το οποίο περιλαμβάνει και την επιστροφή. Φαίνεται σαν να είναι μια διαδρομή 15-20 λεπτών. Ο οδηγός περιμένει εσάς ενώ δείπνατε στο εστιατόριο. Αν έχετε μια επιπλέον πινακίδα κυκλοφορίας, φέρτε την μαζί, καθώς τους αρέσει να τις συλλέγουν και να τις κρεμάνε στον τοίχο.

Το Lenny's ήταν ένα φανταστικό μέρος για να απολαύσετε μερικά ποτά και να απολαύσετε το καταπληκτικό ηλιοβασίλεμα. Το τοπίο ήταν απόλυτα εκθαμβωτικό, με ένα όμορφο μονοπάτι που οδηγεί σε μερικές πέτρες. Παρόλο που δε φάγαμε εκεί λόγω έλλειψης επιλογών για χορτοφάγους, το άρωμα του φαγητού ήταν πειθαρχητικό. Σίγουρα θα πρότεινα το Lenny's αν αναζητάτε ένα θαλασσινό δείπνο μακριά από το θέρετρο.

If there was a rating of 4.5, this beach would have definitely received it. I was pleasantly surprised because most things are usually overrated. The greeting, atmosphere, and overall setting were very good. I've heard that the sunset there is amazing. When I arrived, I was greeted at the front door and given the option to choose my seating. I also enjoyed a cold beer while walking around and taking a few pictures of the great view. When I was ready, I placed my order without feeling rushed. There were quite a few other guests, but it didn't affect the service. The presentation of the food was great. The grilled lobster was cooked perfectly, the shrimp and white fish fillet were delicious, and the veggies and rice complemented the meal well. It was a bit pricey at $35, but it was a special treat for my vacation. Each beer was $5, which was reasonable. I do want to mention that there were some reports of a dirty washroom, but I personally used it twice and didn't find any issues. There is a flush water bucket for the toilet, which may seem unusual, but it's not a big deal. The beach is right there, so the water is filled up by an employee. There were also reports of no toilet paper, but that is false. As for hand sanitizer, if it was important to me, I would have brought my own, which I did. Oh, and there is plenty of sanitizer available at the front entry if you keep your eyes open. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth the money and the $35 cab fare (round trip) from Playa Paraiso, for example. Cheers, Dan
