Compact shopping center. There are cafes and eateries, pizzerias. Alcohol and tobacco stores. Departments with clothes and souvenirs. There is also something like a supermarket, the choice is certainly not great. Rum, cider and champagne are mostly on the shelves. There is also some canned food and a section with dishes.
An empty center. Only clothes, bags, souvenirs. Rum, cigars. On the second floor there are nice pebbles with lobster pizza. There is no change anywhere. On the ground floor, almost everywhere, except for souvenirs, you can pay with a mir card with a ruble account. There are turtles swimming in the pool. Cool. In the supermarket, the ball is rolling. Just coffee and water. Beer and basins of some kind. that's it.
An ordinary shopping complex, there is a food court, a swimming pool with turtles. A rum and cigar store (prices are average compared to Varadero and Havana).
It's very decent for Cuba. The bar has very tasty cocktails. There are clothes, bags, a separate alcohol and cigar store, the price tag is average and higher, depends on the product. There is a place to eat. There are few people, very calm and even sleepy)
It's not a bad price for Cuba.
But...
the choice is meager, but the most necessary things are there. Souvenirs are better to buy at the market in Varadero. And rum and cigars are available here. Try the coffee in the center of the shopping center, it's not bad enough. But there must be local pesos
Previously, Ameca Plaza was almost the only large shopping center in Varadero. Now, in a competitive environment, it has lost its importance. Everything is also on the ground floor of a grocery supermarket, and the rest is mostly shops with upholstery and clothing. Cafes don't work on weekdays. For a change, you can take a tour bus for an hour.
A large shopping center by Varadero standards. There are Branded clothes, a good perfume store, as well as boutiques with inexpensive things, and there is also alcohol. You can pay with a Russian unionpay bank card.
A small shopping center on site, you can find things made in Italy at an inexpensive price. The supermarket accepts card payments. If you pay in cash, the price tag is doubled)
The mall is not bad, the store has everything that is usually difficult to buy in Cuba, but only cards are accepted. Although it is possible in cash, but it is more expensive))) It's a strange policy. Nice security and location.
In the Market, which is on the 1st floor, they cheat with prices. The prices are the same , but at the checkout she counts according to others. She said that the prices are in euros, but she counts in dollars when paying with a card, as a result, instead of 2 euros, 3.5 dollars miraculously comes out. As it turns out, there is no answer. We did some small purchases, a couple of cans of lemonade, I didn't pay attention for the 1st time, we stopped on the way back, and now I saw that it didn't add up. There was no such thing in other stores, both on the price tags and punched.
It's good to walk to the store. A large selection of souvenirs at the market near the shopping center. You can change money on the market. It's not as profitable as in the city, but it's possible. You need a card to make purchases at the shopping center.
America Plaza, I really like it! When I'm in Cuba, I will definitely be there👍 Good prices in the store for coffee and rum. And there is something to see in boutiques. And what a beauty around him, you can take a walk !!! 😘
A small shopping center with a grocery store. In 2023, it was possible to pay only with a card. At the entrance to the grocery store, they also took currency in cash, but with an overpayment. The rest of the shops with souvenirs and clothes work both for cash and for cards. There is a paid toilet and a couple of places where you can have a snack.
Well, like our shopping centers, shops for tourists, cafes, and even a small pool for three turtles on the territory, you can go, especially since it is next to the Melia Las Amerikas hotel
Everything is expensive, just like in hotel stores, even more expensive. A T-shirt for $ 25 is too much, even in a / n it is much cheaper. The grocery supermarket is half empty. Nothing particularly interesting.
A large store by Varadero standards, there are clothes, shoes, and groceries. Drinks, including alcoholic ones, at reasonable prices, there is a pizzeria nearby on the embankment.
There's nothing to catch there. We went to the store, took a jar of cold beer and water in the amount of $ 2.5. At the checkout we give $ 5, the cashier (by the way, they are very peculiar ladies there, as a selection)) he takes the money, puts it in the safe and says goodbye :)))
It turned out that it was necessary to pay with a card. Who doesn't have it, it will kindly help you solve this problem for $ 2.5)))) And they know our situation perfectly well. In general, there are no words. We laughed and left. There is a souvenir market nearby, where you can find something for gifts. Inexpensive. And the shopping center was not impressed. And the prices there are more expensive than in the same Varadero.
It is difficult for Russians , since it is difficult to get cash , and our payment systems are under sanctions , those who are ready to accept cash , the price is immediately above average . The choice of course leaves much to be desired, but there is everything you need - top souvenirs and necessary things. It was lucky that at least in the cigar store, they agreed to sell rum for cash, otherwise they would have left without souvenirs. But the price of the sample is 70% higher than it was possible to buy in Varadero.
A normal shopping mall. For Cuba - excellent. There are SIM cards, there is a post office, a man turns cigars and is happy to bargain) there is something out of clothes and rum too)
Some stores accept cards (not mir), some do not, prices vary, including depending on the forms of payment. There is a poorly functioning bank branch where you can withdraw money in pesos, but the exchange rate is bad
I expected more. In fact, there are very few shops. Or look for cheaper tours to Havana, do not buy into the promises of passage to the Capitol, or go shopping in Varadero. In fact, it is not worth paying attention to
There is nothing special in the store, you can buy a local SIM card, bags, a few gifts, and that's it, and there are no people. We lived nearby in a hotel, how can you not come there all the time siesta(
Sad Shopping Mall! In general, it does not differ much from the total mass of stores in Cuba! Of course, there is no assortment! It is better not to waste time on it, but to go to markets and small shops, it will be much more interesting and fruitful!
Supermarket, as we have in Russia in the 90s there is nothing really, there are several rows with the same cans in this supermarket there is simply nothing to buy. I don't know why they occupy such a huge area if all this can be placed on several shelves.
Exclusively cheap consumer goods are sold. And there are also several cafes where locals buy food and drinks for the beach. Melia hotels are extremely unlucky to have such a neighborhood.
You can't call it a shopping mall. Empty shelves in boutiques, there are only rum and cigars at crazy prices. It's easier to go to other stores. There is one toilet for everyone with a long queue.
The shopping center is surprisingly advanced and modern for Cuba.
Although, like everywhere else, there is nothing in the shops. Well, this is Cuba 🤷♀️
