Those who love tranquility and relaxation already have a place in Cuba that offers them that and much more, because through Resonance Blu, a program created exclusively for the largest of the Antilles by the Canadian hotel group Blue Diamond Resorts, you can enjoy music and parties with Resonance Musique, that is, you will have two experiences in the same facility.

But on this occasion, we will refer extensively to the first mentioned on the beach of Varadero, the first in the country. To do so, we interviewed two specialists in charge of Resonance Blu, who kindly offered us in detail what this program offers.

The idea of Resonance Blu arose to offer a tourism of relaxation and knowledge, which includes wellness techniques, with passive and active exercises for oneself. It includes Taichi, pilates, yoga, and nutrition treatments. Everything is always with specialists, explained Francisco Silva, delegate and developer of the Resonance brand in Cuba.

At Resonance Blu, he continued, there are two types of services: the free part included in the tourist package and the personalized wellness treatments, through an additional payment by the client, which includes numerous treatments such as ozone, acupuncture, psychology and nutritionism.

“It is something that does not exist in the entire Caribbean, where there are beach hotels with spas with therapeutic massages, but not a specialized wellness attended by specialists. This is only for the Resonance Blu brand in Cuba, that is, it is exclusive” he said. With this, clients can get to know themselves, treat themselves. Anyone who comes looking for the beach and has some physical problem during the period they are here, has the possibility of contracting these treatments, he explained.

Nowadays, when tourists come to Varadero on vacation to enjoy the sun and beach, and need some treatment, they have to travel several kilometers, depending on where they are staying, to the Varadero International Clinic in the center of the city. However, we offer them this in the same hotel, which makes it easier for them to access the care they require, she said.

For her part, Yoslaine Yaili San Juan Manso, corporate representative of Cuban Medical Services (CSMC) for Blue Diamond, Resonance brand, referred to the specialists responsible for the treatments that a client can receive in that facility. We have a team of specialists with a lot of experience in everything related to physiatry, acupuncture, podiatry, psychology, psychiatry. We are well supplied in terms of all these types of specialties, she said.

These specialists, she continued, have been in several brigades, including international ones, so they have great experience in missions and maturity regarding this type of project. The client who knows that he needs any of these treatments, can buy these services from Canada, although he can also do so once he is staying at our hotel and feels the need for this type of consultation, because they come with arthritis, osteoarthritis or another condition, she explained.

Also, she continued, we have ozone therapy consultations, which is a very important treatment, and which is carried out for seven, ten or twenty-one days, according to the patient's situation. In addition to this, she added, we have a nutritionist, who is in charge of supervising the food of the clients in the different Blu facilities to guarantee adequate nutrition for the clients.

In other words, everything in this program is thought out for the benefit and satisfaction of the clients. This new Blue Diamond brand, Resonance, is already active in addition to Playa Azul, in Cayo Santa María, Santa Lucía, Camaguey province and in Marea del Portillo, in Granma.
