The hotel

Life here couldn’t be simpler: swim, sunbathe, sip poolside cocktails, swim again. Havana Cabana Key West is a place to escape it all, although the fabulous concierge service will happily help arrange trips out to experience the rest of island life – whether it’s golf, beaches, or a bar crawl – if doing nothing does nothing for you. The unique spirit of Cuba is reflected at Havana Cabana, from the dining to the decor. The largest freshwater pool in Key West comes complete with a rock waterfall, a hot tub, and a Cuban-style pool bar serving suitably tropical cocktails.

Love this hotel. So fun, so eclectic. We love the pool and the pool bar. It’s the perfect spot for sun or some shade, a light breeze and a drink. Very relaxing. This was our 2nd stay here, and would definitely come back again. We had our wedding reception here in 2019 and our guests still talk about the hotel and fun they had- 5 years later.

This place is awesome! The pool is lovely and the food is great. The mojitos are yummy but the other drinks are okay. The only negative I would say is that there was a lot of smoking while we were here, so if you’re looking for a smoke free hotel, this isn’t one.

The staff is very friendly, especially Nat and Chris at the front desk. They’re the type to never deny a guest, even their most ridiculous request. Thank you, Havana Cabana, for making our Key West trip a great one! Read less

First up, the service from the front desk was great and really helpful. Enjoyed the pool, bar and shuttle bus service into town. It is difficult to judge value but slightly mifed by the resort fees as I'm not entirely sure what I was paying for? My issue with sleep quality was that every night I was woken by people returning from town and our room… Read more

My issue with sleep quality was that every night I was woken by people returning from town and our room opening onto the parking lot probably didn't help. Read less

Mary was the majority of my encounters when it came to customer service and she was a joy to speak to. She was very welcoming and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to be treated as nowadays good customer service is hard to find. Give her a raise! She’s amazing.

Not a family hotel given adults continuously smoking around the pool and a room which was next to the construction site adjacent as well as the very busy main road. The only thing that drowned it out ironically was the very noisy air conditioning. I had emailed 5 days before our visit on this matter, spoke to reception about not receiving a reply… Read more
Not a family hotel given adults continuously smoking around the pool and a room which was next to the construction site adjacent as well as the very busy main road. The only thing that drowned it out ironically was the very noisy air conditioning. I had emailed 5 days before our visit on this matter, spoke to reception about not receiving a reply on arrival (the guy at reception said he didn’t know the main email address when I asked him to verify it!) and was told the manager Christian was busy but would be in touch. Even after 5 nights staying there - as well as filling out the Wi-Fi customer service questionnaire - I was never contacted. Very poor guest service by management. Certainly not worth c$500 a night including resort fees, taxes etc. Read less
