We visited MCC the week of October 25th for our 3rd visit. We chose MCC for our vacation this time because we wanted to go to a place we could primarily just drop our bags and relax - and even with the shortages in Cuba, know that we would be okay… Mission accomplished. Thanks to Gippsy for a good room location near the main areas. We had a basic 2nd floor garden view room which is nothing fancy but lovely, spacious and clean. The bed and pillow were the most comfortable I have ever encountered in Cuba. Our room had a new fridge with a see through door that was nice. Everything worked as it should. The main doors could use some weatherstripping around them. I would consider bringing some of the foam stuff next time just to get them to seal a bit tighter. I’m sure something like that would be impossible to find in Cuba. The food was varied all week. You can definitely tell they are doing the best they can with what they can get each day. We always found something to eat. There were delicious cucumbers, pineapple and grapefruit a few days; olives every day. I liked the cold pasta salad, veggies, meats and cheeses. I must comment on the bread that was plentiful all week, and we often toasted it in the buffet. It was sooooo good that I asked where they brought it in from. I was told they make it on the resort. I want you to know that this bread is excellent - I actually miss it! They had amazing churros by the pool our first few days. The man who makes them is really sweet too. I will comment that in the evenings, both my husband and I though the fresh seafood/meat for grilling at the buffet never looked “fresh”. You could tell it had been sitting uncovered somewhere for too long - so we avoided it “just in case”. I would suggest they keep the cuts fresh, and covered, for dinnertime if at all possible. We had eggs all week at breakfast….and fries, burgers, pizza, sandwiches at the poolside grill. There was good sparkling wine all week. I saw red wine all week. There was lots of alcohol to choose from; however, mix seems to be the issue currently. The only pop (soda) we saw all week was cola… We improvised lol. The beer varied from Cristal, Buccanero and a Cuban beer in a plastic bottle. It was all nice and cold. We saw pina colada mix and mohitos some of days at least. The cappuccino and frozen coffee drinks were all delicious and plentiful. The staff were as great as ever. They work so hard and are so happy to please. They are currently working 16 hour days with one day on and one day off usually. By nighttime, you can tell they are tired out but still plug on with smiles. They are heroes. I pray conditions will improve for everyone in Cuba very soon. It is so tiring and discouraging for them, I know. The animation team is still so great. Chino, Maite, Chocolate Mama, Annie….love them all - they are great with the guests. The activities are good for young and old alike. Great to see Tamara, Yanelis and Jesus again in the
