Overall a very nice hotel. However when we checked out, they greatly overcharged us for the minibar. Their records were terribly inaccurate. As well, we couldn't go into the pool area after dark for some reason. The lighting was fine and there were various seating areas that would have been lovely to relax in, with a drink and a book.

I was also quite disappointed that we could not go into the pool area after dark. There was plenty of lighting.

Stayed for a week on vacation and had a great time. The Melia Habana is a hotel where everything works and the staff was consistently friendly and helpful. The room was clean, food was good, and we always felt safe there.
Although it is beside the sea and some Cuban locals were swimming nearby, it is very rocky and you would likely want to use the pool or travel to the Playas del Este for the beach. [Details]

High standard for Cuba. No concerns with my stay. For those considering a vacation stay, the shuttle to Old Havana was very convenient running six times daily.
The weak points
Need to commute into town by shuttle or about $10 taxi ride. Fee for wifi service.

Overpricey for not much 5stars

first thing they welcome you with is a scam . They welcome you and mention that the system do do the room key is down so the valet will come for you and open it. He dosen't leave before having his tip. 5 minutes later, you go and they activate your key. as they do, they mention that their system is down to other client arriving to the hotel. I've been seeing this scam at least 6 times during my stay. I suspect that the receptionist split tips with the valet to keep it going.
room was good but as you expect from Cuban resort, 5stars there is about 3.5 stars in US or Canada so if you expect the royal room, you'll be disappointed.
Know your price, at the hotel, the buffet is $25 and the next door hotel (Neptuno)have an equivalent buffet for $15...
Pool close very early even with lit lightning all around, they still close it at about 6pm.
they have a very good gymnasium with about everything you can possibly want. [Details]

Melia Habana

We had a wonderful stay at the Melia Habana. We do not speak Spanish and had no trouble getting what we needed. The staff are awesome. There is a free shuttle to Old Havana which is a must to see a number of times. Old Havana is like nowhere else in the Caribbean. Its like Europe except it has better weather. If you don't want to take the shuttle its only $10CUC each way. Was surprised how cheap everything was at the hotel and in town. Food at the hotel was excellent and there lots of places to eat in Havana with good prices. The rumor about Cuba having bad food must be originating from some of the cheap resorts. Can't wait to go back again. [Details]

Hotel is run down. Floors and walls are dirty. Linens are old. Food was awful. Service was non-existant. Wi-Fi is sooo slow and you are being charged $8.-/min. Basically, hotel has 5star prices and 1star quality. [Details]

Food description on the menus made it sound so good but the actual food was bad. We ordered a tiramisu that was melted. It looked and tasted like it had been sitting on the counter for hrs!
