Playa Giron and other nice beaches

[waitressvn]

I am going to Cuba for 3 weeks, and would like to help with the
itinerary. I want to spend 3 days in Havana, and rest of time in
northern part of Cuba - since we are going with 2-years baby, we dont
want to go travel a lot and dont want to travel farther then Trinidad.
Besides Havana, Cienfuegos and Trinidad i am not sure which other
places on this region are worth to visit. I prefer nice beaches with
palms and nice snorkeling, and i want to limit the places to minimum. I
would like to know:
1) Varadero - is there good weather in January? Because i have read
different stories... So is it worth to go there? The plan is 3-4 days
there...
2) Playa Giron - i have heard that there is nice snorkeling, but i have
read, that there is bad hotel and that there isnt nice beach, because
there is a bad-looking wharf. Is there somewhere besides it some nice
beach and accommodation? 3) Playa Ancon - it easy accesible when we
will be in Trinidad, but how many days is enough there? Is there nice
snorkeling?
4) Maria La gorda - it looks nice, but isnt it too secluded to go there
with a baby? Is there nice snorkeling?
Can you advice me some other nice beaches in that region, especially
with good snorkeling ?
Thanks for every advice
