We booked the Occidental at the last minute, as there appeared to be little else available and were glad we were only staying for one night. The foyer and the pool area are quite nice, the rooms are passable, the bed and pillows were pretty bad and the buffet was shocking. There appeared to be plenty of choice, which is... more

The good: very clean pool, large rooms, okay breaky buffet, pretty nice staff on the whole, nice views... The bad: questionable food and service in the lounge, over-priced dinners in restaurant, music at pool too loud (and bad), but only at times, little far away from downtown area... On the whole very good value... more

just had 4 nights in occidental lovely hotel, lovely room, staff very helpful only draw back hotel a little far out of havana centre and free shuttle bus was not very good only running 3 times a day but overall very good more

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely great. We'd go back any time. Situated in the Miramar district of Havana, it was about 10-15 minutes by shuttlebus to Old Havana. It was a large hotel complex with pools, restaurants, a bar, entertainment and a good buffet (Cuban food). The room was super with an ocean view. Although it was a... more

Our agent recommend we stay out of town & we were glad we took her advice. Central Havana is awesome but spending all your time in traffic fumes and noise is not our idea of a holiday! Having spoken to others the standards are also better out of town. The hotel we chose was superb and the room was more... more

The hotel is a few miles from the center of Havana, so the free shuttle bus was a boon. We used this several times - though it only holds 20 so when more than this were in the queue the excess could not board, On one occasion the bus simply did not turn up for a return journey so the... more

I stayed here for a week with a large group of people. Overall I was happy, our room was big & always very clean. The food was buffet style & was ok, but it was always the same so you would get a little bored of it after a few days. There was a great choice & selection, but after... more

Just returned from Cuba 10 night AI Blau Varadero followed by 4 nights in Occidental Miramar which was very, very disappointing. The main areas of complaint were the overall condition of the hotel and unhelpfullness of the staff. The entrance is fine, as is the a la carte restaurant in fact we had quite a pleasant meal there on the... more
