This (basic) hotel pretends to give you more quality than they do. Airco didn’t work, water in shower was very slow and not warm, rusty bathtub.The receptionist promised to have the airo fxed, but nothing happened. More

Hotel la Granjita has its dark ochre coloured octagonal thatched chalets in an extensive woodland setting full of wildlife which makes for a very pleasant atmosphere, although there is only a little room to sit outside and no chairs for that purpose either. The bar by the small pool does reasonably priced snacks and of a rough and ready nature... More

We spent two months in Cuba - 7 nights in hotels and the rest were spent in casa particulares. We were in Santa Clara for 3 weeks and found the people in this city to be among the most friendly, sincere and caring on the island (and that is saying a huge amount). It was my favourite place because it... More

Mixed views on this hotel, where we stayed for 2 nights as part of a Voyages Jules Verne two weeks tour of Cuba. Rather far out of town, so unless one took a taxi, one had to remain within the hotel grounds. The rooms look nice from the outside, almost like rondavel Zulu huts with thatched tops. However although most... More

Rooms are thatched and dotted around a site with trees, etc. a little way out of town. Reasonable but not extensive pool area. Food better than average and staff much more efficient than the Cuban norm. More

The hotel is used mainly by tour groups, and is really only suitable for groups as the organisation revolves round their needs. The idea is... More

The hotel is in lovely grounds set out of town. it has thatched rooms, with large beds, air conditioning, TV and fridge.The bathroom was large although the shower head was broken so it was a bit like standing under a hose pipe! There is a safe that you get for a small fee - we could not get it to... More

This is a great hotel, we stayed over christmas as a break from casa particulares and wernt disappointed. One receptionist wasnt very friendly or helpful but the rest were lovely and the bar staff were fab too. We did tip but only 1 tip at the end of the night not after every drink. I think we sampled almost every... More

PricillaBath, 4 March 10 has got it about right. Be very careful at the bar and watch them like a hawk or your Pina Colada may not have any Rum and the waiter then expects a tip stay at the bar and watch them make it, pay and then take it away yourself. Food is OK. Only stayed two nights,... More
