Family Arrives At Hotel In Cuba Only To See It Looks Nothing Like The Brochure
Most of us tend to daydream about escaping our hectic day-to-day lives by hopping on the next flight to a tropical paradise. We’re sure just about everyone would love to get away from their worries and relax for a while on a white beach with clear blue water, or by a pool.
Well, the Evans family decided to save up money to have their dream vacation in a popular beach resort in Cuba. They were sure it would be the trip of a lifetime. In the weeks leading up to it, they couldn’t help but picture themselves lazing around the gorgeous pool and enjoying all the amenities the four-star hotel promised they would get in their brochure.
However, things turned out rather differently than they expected. When they arrived at their vacation spot, they realized the hotel looked nothing like the pictures they had seen.
