Have a guided tour of Havana . its well worth the 10 pound or so
Then go on foot the following day and pop into the local market and nice looking place to eat that you saw on the trip
Beggers vendors etc are not a prob . worst you may get is a few small kids asking for sweets

Varadero is nice for a couple of days but you will soon get bored of it unless all you want to do is sit on a beach. You might as well not bother going to Cuba if you don't go to Havana and by that I mean spending at least one night there. Hotels can be expensive so you can stay in a casa particulars with a family (like a b&b). Plenty of good places to drink in havana. If you're not with a woman go to club tropicalia where you can take your pick of the local girls.
Vinales (the tobacco growing region) shouldn't be missed either and is an easy day trip from havana.
In all honesty id suggest three nights in havana. If you still are bored of varadero after that you should go down to Trinidad.

As with other comments - you must go to Havana for a couple of days. It's a wonderful place.

Visiting Havana for at least a day is a must.
It is a World Heritage site & one of the most interesting & beautiful cities in the world
You can get a bicycle taxi along the length of the Malecon (promenade), La Ramp is worth a visit, with interesting & exotic shops
Club Tropicana is well worth a visit, colourful costumes & truly amazing gravity-defying dancing
There are some of the most stunningly beautiful women in Cuba (nudge nudge wink wink!)

Get a lock in at the Bacardi factory and have a hike up to the hills to Fidels and Ches rebel camp.
Havana is worth a trip, they're still very much wrapped up in the revolution which is odd as it was so long ago

Veradero's great. Enjoy the sun and Cuba Libres. Make sure you spend time in Havana - my only regret is that I didn't get to see other places such as Trinidad, Santiago etc. They're supposed to be worth a visit. Veradero's where the luxury is though.

Went to Cayo Coco the year before last, which was lovely- but no help to you.
Spend a night or two in Havana. Absolutely WONDERFUL city.
