Be Live Havana City Copacabana: Our Stay at The Copacabana Hotel in Miramar Cuba

I love this hotel. It's by no means a high end hotel but it has it's charm. The thing I like best is the ocean pool since there are no real beaches to speak of in Havana, you have to travel quite a ways to get to one.

Memories Miramar Habana: Very pleasent. Great staff.

Beautiful grounds. Nice swimming pool. Food usually good. Easy to get anywhere. Close to the ocean. Safe. Clean. We would go back again. Room service would have been nice or a coffee maker in the room

Hotel Atlantico: 3 Star Hotel

Overall this is a decent Hotel with a great beach. If you have any disability then its not for you. There are stairs and more stairs with no elevators. The food is very basic and I suggest you bring spices. Basic drinks with cola being the only mix...no juice or 7up. We took an updated room and it was decent. Cleaned every day. We found staff to be friendly and helpful.

Hotel Atlantico: 5 STAR BEACH, 1 STAR RESORT

THE FOLLOWING IS BASED ON OUR OBSERVATION AND CONVERSATIONS WITH MANY OTHER GUESTS WE SPOKE WITH IN GENERAL CONVERSATIONS: 1. FOOD WAS THE SAME ALL DAY EVERYDAY 2. PEOPLE SERVING US WERE NOT TOO INTERESTED. IT SEEMED LIKE WE WERE BOTHERING THEM WHEN WE ASKED FOR SOMETHING. 3. RESORT OVERALL WAS DELAPIDATED AND WOULD NEED MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS. 4. SUNWING REP WASN'T VERY KNOWLEDGABLE. WE HAD TO POINT OUT PLACES OF INTEREST. 5. BEACH WAS FABULOUS. ** THE 2 STARS BELOW IS FOR THE POOL. WE'VE [... read more] BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD AND OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE ALWAYS VERY LOW AS WE NEVER EXPECT IT TO BE LIKE HOME BUT IN THIS CASE, THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE FOR THE $ WAS NOT WORTH IT.

Hotel Atlantico: disappointing

We had been told this was a good hotel, 3*. It was barely okay. The food, while not surprising for Cuba, was repetitive and often dry (chicken). They never had any yougurt, the first time in over 40 years of going we have seen this. And not one mojitto. These are the things that make Cuba acceptable. The beach was lovely but dirty. The staff were kind and helpful. The bedspreads were very dirty. There were lots of steps, though i had requested no stairs, This was definitely not the right resort  [... read more]for us. We would not go back there.

Marazul Hotel: Oldie but goodie

I like Hotel Marazul/Tropicoco, I have been going every January for 5 years, my comments are based on those 5 years that I have experienced. But I think it is almost dead, the staff are still wonderful people, they do a great job looking after me. The hotel lobby is more empty than busy, it used to be a friendly busling environment but not so much now. The Animation team is all but non existent, items advertised for things to do through the day (bingo, dance lessons, etc.) did not happen, of a [... read more] 7 day week there were 2 decent shows in the evening, the other days a disc jockey just played music hoping people would come down and dance. Food, the food was normal for Cuba, I never got sick never had problems but one gets tired of the very same thing day in and day out, basically the same gruel every day, if there were more local restaurants on the street I would suggest they change to being a breakfast only place. If it were not for it's proximity to Havana I would classify it as a useless hotel, the beach is great but that is about where it ends. To make matters worse the price for Marazul/Tropicoco has gone up substantially from previous years, sorry, but Hotel Marazul/Tropicoco is not a $1,000.00 a week hotel, they advertise 3 star, to me at best is deserves only 2 stars. Further in the survey/review it asks if I would recommend the hotel there is only a yes or no choice but my choice is maybe as over the years I have enjoyed being here and if I learn that it is improved I would say yes but at this time I will mare the survey question "no" I will still investigate coming here in the future but I am now looking elsewhere for my January vacation.

Hotel Atlantico: Great combo of beach + Havana

On a lovely beach, in a low-key area, moderate cost, and close access to Havana - great combination. Rooms were clean, well-kept, comfortable, and everything worked. Good range of food, and good quality. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Hotel Atlantico: Great stay

This hotel was so cute and cozy. Staff was amazing and so is beach. I would definitely come back again and recommend this hotel. It's three stars but worth it ... I actually stayed at a 4.5 star and this was better

Hotel Atlantico: A great week away

We had an absolutely fantastic time here. The beach is incredible and the access to Havana very good with the free shuttle every day. The staff are very friendly and I love the 24 hour café overlooking the pool/ocean. There were recreational activities by staff such as Rosa (e.g., bocce on the beach, dancing lessons) which were fun. The rooms are dated but the beds are clearly new as the mattresses were excellent for me. There were some plumbing issues but once I became familiar with these issu [... read more]es I had no problems (e.g., the cold water shower tap was relatively limited whereas there was much more water coming from the hot water tap so the trick was to turn on the cold water full initially and then slowly increase hot water until it was a good temperature).

Hotel Sevilla: A grand old hotel

This hotel build in 1908 is in very good shape including the guest rooms, the lobbies, the gardens and the pool. The decor is very Spanish. The staff we encountered were marvelous. We had 2 lovely notes from the maids. There were different genres of music frequently in the main lobby and at the 9th floor dining room. The staff at reception were very informed when we asked questions. The food was excellent. The hotel history is fascinating. We were fortunate to have one of the staff give us a [... read more] tour and inform us of the history. Built is 1908 and added on to in the 1920's it has has many reincarnations .... a hospital, a school and accommodated 2 large casinos. People staying there included the mafia who were running rum to Miami during the US Prohibition. The mafia were very involved in the 2 casinos. Al Capone stayed in room 615 when he was in Havana. General Batista occupied the 9th floor when he was a dictator in Havana. The social and financial conditions of the working people were explained during the rule of Batista and Castro. We loved ssstaying there and would go back to the Sevilla The only disappointment was the sporadic hot water.

Villa Bacuranao: LOVE this place !

I've stayed here now as a solo female about 8 times. It is only a 15 min. drive from Havana ~ 5 cent bus, $5 round trip shuttle, or a $10-$15 private taxi. The pool is amazing and super clean. The beach beside the hotel is pretty nice. The rooms are VERY basic and the food is bad - but you get what you pay for. I meet the nicest world travelers here, and this place also has THE BEST STAFF EVER. Sometimes this place is pretty quiet, other times it is quite a fun party place... you never kno [... read more]w what you're going to get. I've been to many hotels in Havana - including some of the really expensive ones - but my heart belongs to this hotel. LOVE IT !!

Marazul Hotel: Terrible Vacation, Never Again

Didn't give to us brief meeting about the hotel and services, the resort don't have porters so I had to load the luggage all the time, the Elevators Don't work, we eat the same poor meal three times a day 4 days in the road, the room was dirty and I kill my self one cockroache, the AC hole was not seal, the towels very old and with holes, the room didn't have phone and the front desk told us the problem was line broken, nobody clean the room in 4 days, one day I went to Havana and call back to t [... read more]he Hotel many times in 30 Min and nobody answer me in the Marazul resort front desk, in the restaurant buffet many plates are cold, the food heat don't work, drinks like water or Pop serving warm, just one meat and they served small portions, I had to removed my self the use plates because the are lazy to do it, the last day in this nightmare the lady in the front desk told me that she didn't have not phone line working to call anywhere, I request to speak with the Director Manager and he never ever give me his face, he always sent others, the front desk keep the money change rate fix at .69 cent canadian dollar per CUC, when the bank have .74 cents, when I complain they change to .73, the was robbing me 5 Canadian Dollar every 100 dollar I change to CUC, I have lot of pictures that prove what I said, if anybody would like to see it just email me, this Vacation time was huge NIGHTMARE

Villa Bacuranao: Great Experience!

I was at the Villa Bacuranao and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a off-resort experience. While the hotel is modest and offers only the basics, it's main advantage is proximity to Havana (15.8 km from hotel to El Capitolio according to Google maps). I rode on a local bus for something like 10 cents per ride, but there is a shuttle every 30 min for 5$ and your ticket is good for the whole day. The ambiance at the hotel is great, the locals and tourists alike enjoy the swimming poo [... read more]l and bar, there is great music and it is easy to make friends. NOTE: if you're looking for comfort, this place may be a bit of a challenge for you. Food is not greatest, beds are not the most comfortable, on occasion there is no hot water, lol. I didn't mind any of that. There is great food to be found nearby for cheap, there is also a convenience store where you can stock up on some basic stuff like water, alcohol, dry food, some cosmetic products etc. Anyway, I enjoyed it so much I am planing to go back very soon. Cheers!

Marazul Hotel: NEVER AGAIN

Food was terrible . dinner was the same reheated food we had for lunch.thr hotel was dirty and tge would never clean it.

Hotel Atlantico: A semi-average Cuban Resort

This was our 9th trip to Cuba, and the Atlantico Hotel is a 60 year old hotel that is showing its age. The pool should be emptied and repainted it is stained and faded. There are three or four dogs which wander around the hotel lobby and pool area, we happened to see two different dogs urinate against flower pots in the smoking area just off of the lobby. On the plus side there is hot water, but conversely no real water pressure, and if you happen to be in the shower and some one flus [... read more]hes the toilet look out! The staff is friendly and helpful, the lively entertainment staff do a good job to engage the guests in various games and if you participate, you might win a bottle or two of Cuban rum as my wife did. In the dining room, which is buffet style the food is bland, most of the vegetables like mashed potatoes, and cauliflower are cold. The pasta is served with a thin tasteless sauce. In two weeks we never saw a slice of bacon. There is butter available, but only at breakfast, with none at lunch or dinner in spite of lots of bread. No pepper at any meal and no red wine, the only wine is a not very good white. On Christmas Eve, the kitchen staff stepped up to the plate and had a fabulous spread ready for the quests, with an amazing display of pastries and breads, with roasted turkey, but no stuffing nor was there any gravy. The beach is lovely with plenty of beach lounge chairs available with umbrellas. Bring bug spray because there are lots of sand fleas to bite your legs and arms, plus a few tiny mosquitoes to taste your flesh.

Marazul Hotel: No cockroaches, even they wouldn’t stay here

Well it’s very old dated and falling apart the food is bad . But there was rice and beans and chicken every meal. No spaghetti bar, no alacart restaurant. The swimming pool is brutal smells like sewage at the pool and snack bar that never had any food, the main bar or only bar in the lobby had terrible service and no mixed drinks. The front desk people were friendly. And helpful. Virtually no entertainment, mostly Cubans staying at this resort with children. fantastic beach [... read more]. Free shuttle to town, elevators worked a few days no bell hop. It was a very cheap vacation. We love Cuba would not stay at this resort again.

Hotel Atlantico: Habana 500 years celebration

We had a great time in Habana and at Hotel Atlantico. The hotel isn't anything fancy but you can expect a 5 star hotel when you pay for 3. We really enjoy the beach front , that was probably the best part of the hotel. Some of the live music was very good . Overall we got what we pay for.

Melia Habana: Amazing Hotel

The Melia Habana has a great pool, beautiful lobby bar, great restaurants and an amazing cigar store. There is an excellent Café which serves delicious ice cream, offering a variety of flavours. If you wish to eat out, the Concierge will give recommendations, book the reservations and arrange for taxi service. There is a bus providing free transportation to Old Havana several times a day. Comfortable beds, great service and friendly staff. I recommend this hotel when staying in Havana. .

Iberostar Grand Packard: Very happy with hotel after upgrade

Location was outstanding- centre of Havana good view of traffic and Spanish Fort Restaurants were outstanding - great food at North America prices Others facilities not used Friendly staff helpful Great walks out of hotel

Melia Habana: Fabulous hotel & located on the water

Very elegant hotel, superbly maintained, with a great pool, fitness centre, bar, restaurant and cigar store. The staff were very enthusiastic and gifted in serving our needs such as making reservations at restaurants in Havana and arranging excursions.
