We were lucky when we arrived - without asking we were given a huge suite overlooking the ocean, with a huge balcony and luxurious spa bath. However, even our less lucky travelling companions were happy with the quality of their standard rooms. Service everywhere in the hotel was excellent.

When we visited (early February) the pool was out of commission and there was no sign that any repair work was due to start, the whole area next to the ocean had been badly mauled by Hurricane Wilma. I think it will be some time before you can swim at the hotel, although there is a hotel along the way that will let you use their pool.

Minus points - 1 the food in the hotel was very average and 2 the timings of the shuttle bus into town were quite inconvenient.

I stayed at Chateau Miramar for 3 nights. It is a small hotel, but I was very happy
to live there after one week at downtown Havana in a hotel I did not find so good.
But at Miramar I found the peace and the good time I had been coming to Cuba for.
The only problem was that I could not let my girlfriend stay over in my room, so
I had to find some private arrangement for her. The location of the hotel is very close to
the sea, and loved to lay on the terasse and feel the nice breeze in the afternoon.
and have my lunch there with my lovely cuban girlfriend. I can recomend this hotel
to everyone who will have a peacefull place away from all the noice and the trafick
and exhaust. Here you a seaview and fresh air, so what else do you want?
The roomss are clean. the staff very friendly and the food very good.
