Havana Cabana

Key West, Florida Keys

Star rating

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. And the largest pool in Key West comes complete with a Cuban-style pool bar serving suitably tropical cocktails alongside a bit of live music to get you in that holiday mood.

Wonderful hotel with Cuban theme. Staff was great especially Chris the manager. Lite bites and fish tacos were nicely prepared. The room was well appointed and had private balcony with two chairs and small table. We were on the first floor and had a view of the bay. We definitely will make this an annual visit. Dan and Wendy

This is advertised as adults only but it is NOT! False advertisement! Kids are in the pools and hammocks, large parties of families taking up lounging spaces. I'm a school teacher that saved up all year and specifically wanted adults only vibe for my vacation. The hotel decor and pool are really cool. The shuttle is an added bonus. The housekeeping staff was exceptional but..... They make it difficult to enjoy food and beverage facilities. There was often no one at the bar to get drinks or order food from . There is no ice machine to get ice for your room even though they provide an ice bucket. They make you get it from the bar which may not be attended. No coffee available in the front lobby and nobody at the bar to provide it at 7 am. The music playing from the hotel pool to the Cuban Lounge was the same everywhere, Spanish club music from 2000. I was looking forward to a Cuban feel but the music left it feeling like a cheap Cancun resort. The staff (Gabby)at the pool was rude and accused me of drinking and eating snacks that were not bought from them. I did have a grocery bag of items that a friend had picked up for me when she went to the store. I had them stored under my lounge chair until I went back up to my room. Even if there is a rule of no outside food and beverage, I shouldn't be attacked for it if I'm not consuming it and I'm a guest that have paid you $1500 dollars with resort fees tacked on. I even apologized and took my bag right up and found her again and apologized for confusion. But even the next day, when I had just an ice bucket in my hand and I asked the food and beverage manager where I could find an ice machine, her response was " YOU MAY NOT FIX YOUR Own DRINKS AT THE POOL" ! I told her I just want ice for my room and not to worry, i wouldn't be. She was sooooo rude and told me I would have to ask the bartender for ice. So, then I have to wait for 3 other people ahead of me to order and get their drinks prepared just to get my ice bucket filled so we have ice water for our hotel room. What an inconvenience! I went to the front desk and spoke to 3 different people about my concerns and no manager ever responded. Our whole party was disappointed with Havana Cabanas hospitality. This resort could be nice but the people running it will not have repeat customers. I have traveled all over and never been treated so rudely. Read less

All of the communication was so nice! I get emails welcoming us and texts once we checked in with a welcoming text to make sure we had everything we needed in our room. Other texts we to let us know about changes to the shuttle schedule or other special notices. Unfortunately, this was a holiday weekend and they must have been short of drivers as the schedule changed a lot and was not completely reliable. The rooms were clean and comfortable. They do have the best pool! Lots of trees to provide some shade and the bar is right there near the pool. We ate breakfast and lunch at the Habana Cabana and it was very good!! Over all the staff was very friendly and we felt very comfortable. Read less

Front desk was really kind and helpful. Room was just OK. Would not pay full price for the room again. There were stains on the floor and bathtub didn’t drain.

Front desk was really kind and helpful. Room was just OK. Would not pay full price for the room again. There were stains on the floor and bathtub didn’t drain. Where we were staying was supposed to be a premium room. The shuttles were really awesome. The pool concierge was territorial over the beach towels. The front desk told us that we could take two beach towels with us to the dry Tortugas and the pool concierge chased us down to get them back and told us we weren’t allowed to take them. So there is some miscommunication between interior and exterior. Read less
