The hotel was in good condition . It is a three star hotel however.
The pool was the greatest attraction of the Hotel.
The poolside bar and patio only had drinks but absolutly no food.
The complimentary breakfast was limited to a sandwich of ham and cheese on a small roll.
Maybe and egg if you are there on a lucky day. Most days not.
They came along with a glass of juice made with Cuban water, which I dare not drink.
They served this a few pices of cut fruit.
Half a cup of coffee, It was hit or miss if they had SUGAR to put in the coffee.
The small hotel restaurants on the lower level has two choices for a meal. Ham steak or fish.
My last two days they had a hamburger steak. That was it.
Most of my meals were eaten in restaurants away from the hotel at several of the downtown parks.
The room was clean and well cared for. The TV and airconditioner did work well.
They promised internet cards to buy during my seven day visit. But the internet cards were never available.
I had to go to the central park, sit in the sun, and connect ot the internet.
Half of each day the electricity was off, therefore no internet.
However, it is still the best place to stay in Holguin
