Sol Palmeras is a great complex. The staff are very friendly and the accommodation is good. Some fellow guests staying in the bungalows complained of insects in the bungalows, but there were none in the hotal. However the food is not that great, the buffet has a variety of food but it is cooked in an interesting way. Also it is the only restraunt that is not air conditioned. The other restraunts on site you have to book for but they do not serve the quality of food that you would expect of a similar restraunt at home.
There is a lot of poverty in Cuba and staff relay upon their tips. It is usual to give 1 or 2 pesos for a small service and to leave a 1 peso daily tip for the chambermaid.
If you have any spare clothes?shoes (even if used) or any cosmetics or shampoo (especially toothpaste or tampons) please do leave them either in your room or give them to your rep, they ensure that those in desperate need receive them.
If you 'roll your own' cigarettes take all papers, tips and tobacco with you as you cannot get them in Cuba. Theme: HotelComparison: about average
