Where to Stay (Room Selection & Renovations)

• Renovation Status: Guest reviews indicate that B-blocks and C-blocks have seen more frequent cosmetic refreshes due to their high occupancy. E-blocks are often cited as having the most “vintage” feel, with some plumbing and AC units showing age.
• Quiet & Sleep: Request Blocks E7, E8 or D7, D8. These are furthest from the Lobby Bar and Siboney Sala de Fiestas, ensuring you avoid the evening music and theatrical noise.
• Convenience: Blocks B1, B2, and C1 are the ultimate “logistic winners.” You are less than a 2-minute walk from the Restaurante Buffet, the Piscina, and the main path to the beach.

Top Spots & Hidden Gems

• Guest Favorites: The Piscina (central pool) is the social hub, but the thatched-roof areas near the Snack Bar are the best spots for shade and breeze.
• Secret Locations: Behind the Mini Club, there is a lush garden path that is rarely used by guests—ideal for a quiet morning walk. Also, the CADECA building is often quieter for Wi-Fi access than the main lobby.
• Dining Tips: At the Snack Bar, guests rave about the “Cuban Sandwich” and the local Cristal beer. In the Lobby Bar, ask for a “Spanish Coffee” in the evening—it’s a traveler favorite.

Practical Layout & Distances

• Walking Distances: The resort is relatively compact. Walking from the furthest E-block to the beach takes approximately 7–10 minutes at a leisurely pace.
• Accessibility: The Hotel Layout is mostly flat with paved paths, making it stroller-friendly. However, a few “shortcuts” between buildings consist of grass or uneven stone—stick to the main circular path around the Piscina if you have mobility issues.
• Beach Path: Note that the Resort Map doesn’t show it, but the path to the sand can be hot; always wear flip-flops as there is no boardwalk directly to the water’s edge.

Map FAQ

• Where do I get beach towels? Usually at the Club House near the pool area.
• Is the pool heated? No, the Piscina relies on the Cuban sun; it’s warmest from 2 PM onwards.
• Where can I change money? At the CyberCafé CADECA near the entrance; check their specific operating hours as they differ from the front desk.
• Is there an elevator? No, most blocks are low-rise (2 floors), so request a ground-floor room if you cannot use stairs.
• Where is the best Wi-Fi signal? The signal is strongest at the Recepción and Lobby Bar, though quality varies throughout the day.
• Where is the evening show? Most entertainment happens at the Siboney Sala de Fiestas.
