For example, we have installed 76 beach umbrellas, which complete the shaded area on the beach, confirming our commitment to make it as comfortable as possible,» said Assistant General Manager Yoel Luis Hernández Lantigua.
He added that an innovation in the growth of tourism is that in this beautiful stretch of sea we have been able to create an area exclusively for German clients, thus satisfying a segment that has special needs.

Other highlights to delight guests included renovating the lobby, especially the main entrance, and enhancing the sports facilities by refurbishing a tennis court and working on another basketball court.
To continue delighting visitors, this hotel never tires of adding value, and to its suggestive offers to generate the best experiences, they now propose La Parranda del Chef, an interaction of this beer (Parranda) with traditional cuisine.
«It is a kind of pairing between the drink and the dish of the day, and a surprise for those who come back from the beach, thinking they are going to take a shower to have lunch, and suddenly, on their way, they find this well-placed offer, set to our dance music, just where we have the Cuban Days on Saturdays».
