As far as I know, this is the only legal place for foreigners to stay between Villa Clara and the south coast. The architecture is typical of the Russian hotels operated by Islazul...lots of concrete. The rooms and bathrooms are basic but clean and functional. The beds are typically firm.

we stayed in this hotel on our way from Santa Clara to Trinidad (very beautifull road trough the mountains). The hotel was almost empty and the only other guests were the noisy Cubans next door. The pool did not seem very clean, but the rooms were more than ok with a tremendous view on the lake. When we arrived in... More

Our attempts to book the tour and hotel reservations in advance were not successful – we were unable to find an email address for the hotel, and did not receive email responses from tour companies. Attempts to coordinate... More

we had a lovely stay at this hotel. driving up we wondered where we had come to - imposing Russian style hotel looked unwelcoming - but the experience turned out to be quite the opposite. We were here on the second leg of our Cuban holiday and we had arranged to walk in the national park with a nature guide... More

surprisingly great place. the hotel is nothing special, though very very clean and the staff service is one of the best you can find in Cuba. The view to the lake: a dream!!!!
