We ate here after reading a review in the Lonely Planet guide - we should have read up more about it on here first! They were very keen to get us in but after that the service went downhill despite the high staff to customer ratio! There were a few dishes we fancied that weren't available so we ended up... More

In the restaurant, the really know how to sell the recommended dinner, I'm sure they'll convince you, but once the food arrives is completely tasteless and it is expensive. There are better restaurants near by. The service started good, but once they started getting more people, it became really bad. The show is not bad, but is not amazing either,... More

This is a restaurant with room. With rubbish service and loud music from the live band and salsa dancers till the early hours. Service was rubbish staff rude and arrogant. Breakfast was poor...i stayed in three hotels in Havana and this was the worst Stay in santa cruz down the road much better hotel.

My husband and I stayed here in March 2013. The website was misleading and at no point did it state it was a restaurant. We arrived after a long flight to rude staff that ignored us for 30 minutes and then proceeded to tell us our room was having maintenance issues. We were transferred to another hotel for the night.... More

We did not stay at the Hotel but visiting the Plaza Vieja on our first trip to Cuba we came upon the lovely looking restaurant with people sitting outdoors at the tables on a pedestrian sidewalk enjoying lunch and drinks. We therefore joined them by relaxing with a cold beer and a snack to celebrate my birthday. It had great... More

The food and flamenco are as fake as the maritime decor. As if that wasn't enough, the waiter encouraged us to go for a deal including dessert, but when we the bill arrived we were informed that the dessert he had served us was not included in the deal - that only covered 'marmalade'! I deducted the price of the... More

El Meson de la Flota is a spanish restaurant with 5 rooms above it and I stayed there with my partner and a friend this November. The large spacious, airey rooms with floor to ceiling doors and windows are finished and furnished to a high standard. My friend had the Rayo Room which was more like a suite rather than... More

El Meson de la Flota is in the most perfect location you could ask for to wander the streets of Havana Old Town. The rooms are recently modernised and are well up to the standard of much more expensive hotels, with very comfy beds and good air conditioning. The staff are helpful, the food is not at all bad by... More

We were seduced into eating here by the prospect of a Flamenco show and the fact that the restaurant looks very attractive. As others have said the menu choices are limited but that is true of most restaurants in Havana. My wife chose chicken and when we were told there was none we made to leave. Miraculously - after checking... More
