Guardalavaca, Holguin’s top travel destination, will get an all-out facelift and enhancement in terms of hotel guestrooms in an effort to cater to an increasing tourist demand
Holguin is just another focus of attention for Cuban investment in the travel industry. Guardalavaca is undergoing right now a major enhancement of its hotel rooms, an effort going on as well as in other parts of the province in order to meet the increasing demand of circuit tourism.
There are plans in the offing this year to build the Ordoñez Hotel in Gibara, an unfulfilled dream of the residents of Villa Blanca, coupled with the execution of two small hostels in the provincial capital.
As far as these two investments in the city of Holguin, one standout is the Libertad Hotel, nestled in the like-name street, right in the heart of the location. An ongoing study project the construction of a small hotel run by the Encanto Group, featuring 10 to 15 rooms and an inner patio overlooking Miro Street.
This lodging is perched on the same location where Major General Calixto Garcia had his own horse stalls, next to the freedom fighter’s birthplace. The project intends to recreate each and every locale as it looked back in those days, but with due respect for the history of the only patriot who fought in the three independence wars of 19th-century’s Cuba.
The groundwork on a 7.2-hectare piece of land in the beach of Guardalavaca, also in the province of Holguin, came to a close quite recently. This is the place of choice for the five-star Albatros Hotel, the largest and most comfortable ever built on that beach.
