Cruise Ships in Cuba

"It was very clean, safe, relatively quiet, and was located in an area with transportation and good restaurants. "

"This is a beautiful property with enormous rooms and very good decoration. The bathrooms are huge and spotless, with nice touches. Best bathroom of our 2 week stay. There is both aircon and a good fan. The internal area offers a place to sit, as does the large formal dining/lounge room. Nice breakfast included. Javier and the team looked after us very well, and he speaks very good English, so can help you. You need to be aware of some street noise, mainly on a Friday/Saturday night. This comes from various bars and from some motorcycles. You won't hear it over the aircon/fan too much. Also, the power cuts make it difficult for everyone. Check the restuarant/bar has a generator - most do. The casa is located close to the beautiful square and a craft market, which fills with tourist buses each day and empties around 5.00 pm. But there is also local street life, with some bars that have music and a little port area nearby - at the bottom of the road where the craft market is. Power cuts were an inconveiniece, but the Palacio has a generator. Nice breakfast. If you like walking around (without too much hassle) then the Punta Gorda peninsular, just beyond the port, is a great place to walk 2-3 miles out and back. Good sunsets. One of the best things to do from there is visit the Niche waterfalls. Great experience. Javier can tell you about it, as we offered him and a friend a ride there on our way to Trinidad. Enjoy!"

"The staff is great, everyone's English is excellent, rooms were comfortable and clean. However it's located oddly enough in a neighborhood that looks like a war zone but is two blocks away from one of the best restaurants in town."

"Great property, great people who work there. Highly recommended"

"Balcones deserves six points out of five on every count: it was absolutely excellent! The place was charming and well located, and the staff were all brilliant. They were charming, helpful, friendly, and well informed, and not at all pushy. They offered as much contact as you wanted but were always ready with help or just for a chat."

"A unique hotel situated on several floors of an apartment building. Very good staff support. Great views of sea and city."
