10/10 – Uitzonderlijk
24 juli 2024
Hotel is great!
The Hotel is great.
Pros Hotel:
- Friendly staff, especially Alex, he is the best! Anthony is great as well and the ladies in the kitchen prepared a very nice breakfast every morning. It’s a simple breakfast but really delicious.
- Our room had a balcony and it is great to have for drinks and a cigar in the evening
- Airco is a must and was great
- Bed was great
- Bathroom was great
- The neighborhood was not bad
Cons Hotel:
- The room should have WiFi but it didn’t work.
- WiFi in general in the hotel was poor but it didn’t really matter to us other than letting our family know that we were okay every evening.
General remark: find a shop for drinking water because you will need it in the summer. There is a mini bar but water is rather pricey.
Do not go to Vinales as a day trip, nothing to see but bad roads and people trying to sell the idea of cigar making. It’s a rip off.
Havana as a city is bad (even knowing this a bit), it was worse than expected. Extreme poverty and a lot of people wanting to rip you off with everything and every single day. We were approached every day at least 15-20 times. It gets to you after a few days. Be prepared for this.
The airport in Havana is a tragedy. Extreme heat inside and no fresh air whatsoever and of course no airco so you will suffer in the summer, I really mean suffer.
In conclusion, the hotel is great but know what you are getting yourself into if you want to visit Havana.
For cigar lovers, buy them only at official shops.
