I've stayed here several times to accomodate flight times and although I hesitate to write negative reviews ( as long as the bed is clean and the beer cold- it is Cuba, afterall), there are some issues that need addressing. The only beer available: Buccanero. No mint for Mohitos.( I had to supply some lime juice in a bottle I... More

Good place to stay if you want a cheap hotel in Holguin. No telephones in room (unit does not work) no currency exchange, breakfast at restaurant is included but sucks. Feels like a hostel!! More

I guess it all depends on one's tastes and expectations, and what one expects for $20 CUC's for one night. I stay at El Bosque for one night sleep-overs when I have an early departure/late arrival. $10 dollars for a taxi to the airport (takes about 20 minutes) and $3 to central Holguin. (Inexpensive by industrialized standars) Don't like the... More

Hotel El Bosque is out of town, a ten min walk/1km from the Pernik. Pleasant setting in quiet leafy grounds. We stayed two nights prior to getting our plane home. Pool and kiddy pool were clean and pleasant when we went. Rooms clean. Our shower room was new and clean, my mother's next door needed redecorating, and she ended up... More

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel in a chalet and agree with pretty much everything that has been said in previous reviews. The staff were pretty indifferent to customers. There wasno remote control as it was reportedly stolen by a previous customer. We were only told this on the 2nd night after being promised that it would be brought... More

Luckily we only stayed in this hotel for one night. The only good thing about this place is that the restaurant food is good and not expensive. The rest of the hotel, I am not sure it is to be desired. The room that we were allocated was big and is facing a busy street. Although they have security guard... More

the GOOD stuff - Well, I can't complain about the price! 20cuc for single and 30cuc for double, breakfast included. Hard to beat that! The hotel has a pool, a restaurant, with a couple of bars on site. It is situated in a quiet area not far from Hotel Pernik. The hotel grounds are a fair size with semi-detached bungalows... More

I was last there in January. The big news is that I have received word from my friend, the manager there, that the cost of a double room has fallen to 30CUC and the cost of single per night to 20CUC, Both prices include breakfast...eggs, toast, the "mystery" meat, and whatever limited fruit and vegetables are on hand. However tomatoes,... More

The Villa el Bosque started life as the Holguin Country Club, before the Revolution of 1959. It was then transformed into a motel; the parking spaces for the huge US cars at that time can still be seen next to the villas. The hotel affects a tropical appearance, with leave roofs and palm trees in the foyer, although there are... More
