This is a great hotel, in our opinion much more beautiful inside than out. The room we stayed in (a suite) was very spacious, with a comfortable bedroom, a separate living room, and beautiful views from a huge balcony. The bathroom was also pretty big and had a lovely rainforest shower. Modern minimalist chic (in wood and glass) with some rustic elements would describe the décor well, with priority given to guests’ comfort.
The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive and very efficient. The food was delicious; breakfast was a real feast with all sorts of bread, pastries and rolls, home made preserves, a huge selection of fruit, cheese and hams, eggs, sausages and sweets. I like to have my morning tea with fresh lemon, and I did not have to ask twice for it; the first day I asked, the next days it was already waiting for me. The dinner was always tasty and portions were huge.
The facilities of the hotel are brilliant; a beautiful heated swimming-pool in a building made from glass, so you can swim admiring stunning landscapes, a well equipped gym, sauna, steam room and lovely quiet rooms, where fresh apples, and mint scented water are available for guests. We were totally surprised the hotel is 4 stars and not 5. We have been in many 5 stars hotels that should bow low in front of the Hotel Kaufmann.

Even though the Parisien plays second fiddle to the world-famous Tropicana (and to be honest it really is one rung down to it, both costume and dancing-wise), it still delivers brilliant performance that made us smile almost as broadly as its long-legged beautiful show- girls did. The vibrant, extravagant routine (with live music and really nice choreography) tells a story of different cultural influences that have shaped Cuban culture and we could easily follow the plot even though we don’t speak Spanish at all. Add to this colourful feathers, sequins, dazzling head-dresses and incredibly long eye-lashes, and you can depict the cheerful atmosphere of the show. Yes, it was kitsch, and yes, it was cliché, but we still enjoyed every minute of it.
From photography point of view it was a bit tricky, we only had our flashguns with us, and we were not sited in the first row. But we did the best we could to memorise it and so here you can find some of our images and a short video. For more please visit our Facebook page. Enjoy

We are back from a wonderful city break in Havana and so there will be many new images to share. Today we start, a bit randomly I admit, from the 360 degree interactive panorama of the interior of Convento de San Agusti, a beautiful church we found when we needed to rest from the relentless midday sun. Have a stroll inside and see if you like it. (To start the stroll click on the arrow and be patient

We spent our honeymoon in Le Touessrok, Mauritius, and we cannot praise it enough. Imagine a beach with white and golden sands, lapped by crystal clear turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, and surrounded by paradise gardens with swaying palms and thatched roofs of the beach umbrellas. How much more romantic can it be? The staff was excellent, the food was brilliant and the atmosphere was super relaxing.
As honeymooners we were upgraded to Frangipani junior suite, which was comfortable, tidy and spacious. There was nothing of opulent Dubai décor in it, but we found it functional, well kept and very clean, and it was equipped in everything you may need, including coffee espresso machines. If you know Marcin, you can tell how happy he was about it. Bathrooms were fantastic, with huge oval bathtubs and lovely step-in showers, fluffy bath robes and excellent amenities. There was a bath menu with all sorts of exotic baths that your butler would prepare for you at an additional cost (or for free if he felt like it). If you know Sylwia, you can tell how happy she was about it.
