Ξενοδοχεία με Casa Museo de Polo Montanez, Las Terrazas

I stayed here for 2 nights as part of a 3-week independent trip around Cuba and I absolutely loved it. It was the most welcome respite after 4 nights in Havana and I was so pleased I decided to go here (desite some of the previous reviews - you must remember this is a rural hotel in Cuba). Las Terrazas is a beautiful and tranquil place and Moka has the most perfect location from which to enjoy it. My room was really clean and spacious (2 comfy double beds, plenty of storage/hanging space, safe, fridge, A/C, ceiling fan, fabulous bathroom with huge windows overlooking Las Terrazas' natural lanscape, some toiletries, excellent water pressure, quality loo paper, and a large balcony with furniture to enjoy yet more stunning views. I thought it was wonderful. The bar and restaurant do a good job (typically Cuban fare and limited choices.....not a problem for me), but there also other lovely dining options in the village, as well as a wonderful coffee bar - all with the same relaxed a**osphere and wonderful views. Above all I found the staff to be absolutely delightful - every one of them was professional, pleasant, helpful and friendly. Not once did one single member of staff pass me by without smiling and greeting me. Furthermore, due to some unusually bad weather, at various times the hotel (and the whole area) was without running water, electricity or internet. The staff took great care of me and gave me good advise. Actually I felt blessed to have had no option but to just spend the odd hour or so sitting on my balcony watching the most spectacular and dramatic thunder storms.....then pop to the hotel bar for a mojito 😊 Honestly, I was sad to leave and I would happily have stayed longer. I loved the vibe of Las Terrazas - it was good for the soul to slow down, relax and enjoy the wildlife and scenery. If I ever return to Cuba, I will definitely return to Moka (and it's so close to Havana).
