I have been visiting Cuba for 10 years now, and every time Melia Cohiba is my only destination, i am really amazed by the level of service and the hospitality offered by this authentic hotel.

However, as a loyal guest, allow me to confirm that the hotel need some interior renovation, i believe some of the furniture should be renewed, beside that everything else is really great.

Furthermore, i will be also visiting the hotel this year on the 25th of February, and i am sure that my stay will be delightful as usual.

Recently spent 3 nights at this hotel whilst on a 2 centre holiday in Cuba. It is a large and busy business type hotel situated along seafront some 3/4km from central Havana.The hotel runs a free shuttle bus into Havana.We were on 16th floor which gave great views over the city and the sea.There was a large choice of breakfast food although cooked food was rather limited.Musicians played during breakfast.Plenty of staff on restaurant duty but seemed more intent on chatting amongst themselves than serving guests.The rooms were large but were disappointed with the standard of cleaning and also having to pay 3CUC for each sachet of coffee used in the room.The swimming pool was good & warm enough to use in January,towels are provided.We did not eat evening meals in the hotel but used a nearby restaurant on the recommendation of a local. This was called Artechef where set meals(several courses) were available for 15-27CUC. We found the meals good but service variable dependent upon which staff were on duty.

We didnt book this Hotel , we ended up here because the NH Parque Central Hotel had overbooked and sent us here , when we tired and it was a thunderstorm. However , massive reception/entrance to the Hotel , its on 20 floors , the lifts were a horrible feeling , they sort of went up and down all the time , however , the rooms were large and clean , little antiquated but thats ok , the maid service was excellent and they left little notes saying they hoped you were enjoying your holiday etc , so sweet . ! The service was fantastic and lovely musicgroups played at meal times ! the breakfast and dinner were amazing , everything you could think of and Im really fussy and dont eat meat etc.(even chilled Cava if you wished for your breakfast !!!!) it was a really great stay. Across from the Hotel there is like a shopping precint with a supermarket which sells rum , water etc all so cheap. Then there is a super cafe/bar/nightclub , we ate there , we enjoyed their live band , jazz/bongo/salsa , a mixture and it was amazing value. After 20.30 you must pay a minimum entrance to this bar of 10Cuc per person convertible(pesos) but you get 4 mojitos for this price each and a live band !!! Then there was another havana cafe/nighclub next door to the Melia Cohiba hotel and it was very international (20cuc entrance per person) no drinks included and we nearly fell asleep it was so boring. The Hotel has an enormous swimming pool , we tried it once , cold in January. but they supply swimming towels , and the pool is surrounded by loungers and an outside restaurant , very nice. The hotel offers also a FREE courtesy bus to central Havana , only 5kms away , and it gives you various pickup-drop-off times which was so good. The hotel does have a business centre with a very busy clientele trying to check email etc , it is expensive , around 6cuc for 30mins but it is not broadband isnt fast but is okay if it is a necessity. I would say Sol Melia Hotels must be the best , I live in Spain , Andalucia and we have used them in Spain also and they never disappoint.

I stayed at the Melia Cohiba in December 2011 while on a people-to-people program with Insight Cuba. The hotel is a business class hotel, providing all services/amenities necessary (money exchange, internet, concierge, bar, restaurant, etc.). Being part of a program tour, I did not spend alot of time in the hotel or my room, but it was clean and comfortable to return to after long days of scheduled activities. There is a market directly across the street from the hotel where you can purchase bottled water, snacks, etc. inexpensively. The staff were friendly and helpful overall. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and not busy at opening. Cabs appeared plentiful at the hotel entrance, if needed and the city was very accessible from all points.
