Dining overview
A buffet restaurant serving national and international cuisine and one air‑conditioned a‑la‑carte restaurant (“Santa Lucia”) with smart‑casual dress required; plus a 24‑hour lobby bar and pool bar.
Beach
MixedA quiet private beach stretch is the property's strongest asset, though few recent voices weigh in on sand or water quality.
low confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Private, uncrowded shoreline
- Holguín coastline setting
The beach is small (about 285m by 50m) with fine white sand, calm shallow water and natural vegetation. Access to the water can be rocky and may require water shoes.
Pools
WeakThe pool is small and reportedly dirty, not a place you'll want to spend the afternoon.
medium confidence
Heads up
- Small pool footprint
- Cleanliness complaints
One main outdoor pool with a children’s section and a pool bar; modest size and quiet atmosphere.
Rooms & suites
Combination of one‑storey standard rooms and two‑storey bungalow rooms (total ~128) equipped with air conditioning, safe, satellite TV, minifridge, and balcony or terrace.
