What you should know
What to Know
This is Cuba, so pack patience and adjust expectations: supply shortages can thin the buffet or bar selection on any given day. Request a room away from the pool bar if you want silence, and book Don Diego and special dinners through Customer Service on arrival.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- On-site medical center handled issues well
- Customer Service (Rafa, Yaneisy) very helpful
- Porter service to rooms at check-in
- Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel
Heads up
- Room-location requests not always honored
- Supply shortages can affect buffet and bar
- Some visible wear on the property
Request ground‑floor room if avoiding stairs; bring cash for tipping (staff appreciated small tips); Wi‑Fi may cost outside or not in room; watch pool deck—it may be worn or slippery.
