Hotel Gran Muthu Almirante Beach: An oasis in Cuba

Located in one of the most iconic coastal areas of eastern Cuba, the Hotel Gran Muthu Almirante Beach offers a unique combination of comfort, nature, and local culture. Located next to the idyllic Guardalavaca Beach, this all-inclusive resort maintains an occupancy rate of over 90% year-round.

Guardalavaca Beach, with its turquoise waters and white sand, has been one of Holguín’s main tourist attractions for decades. This five-star property has capitalized on its modern infrastructure, high-standard services, and distinctive customer service.

Part of the MGM Muthu Hotels chain, the Gran Muthu Almirante Beach has positioned itself particularly among the Canadian market, the main source of visitors to Cuba.

According to the hotel, a large portion of its guests are frequent travelers from provinces like Ontario and Quebec, drawn by the warm climate, the safety of the destination, and the excellent value.

“We feel at home,” says Helen Dubois, a Canadian tourist visiting the hotel for the third time. “The staff are friendly, the food is good, and the beach is simply perfect. It’s our escape.”

Beyond the sun and sand

The Gran Muthu Almirante Beach offers more than just the sun and sea. Cultural excursions to nearby historical sites, visits to rural communities, and evening shows featuring local talent enrich the visitor experience, promoting a more comprehensive view of Holguín’s cultural and natural riches.

It features comfortable rooms, a lounge bar, a fitness center, a nightclub, a children’s water park, a play area, non-motorized water sports, and much more. Additionally, guests over 18 can request the “Maharaja Executive Service,” which allows them to enjoy an exclusive and private area of the hotel with private lounge areas, pools, and a spa.

It is also an ideal venue for ceremonies, family reunions, weddings, meetings, and other events, as it features large indoor and outdoor banquet and conference halls. When more than five rooms are booked, different policies and additional supplements apply for the benefit of the guest.

A plus for the hotel are the availability of personalized beauty and wellness treatments, massages, yoga, tai chi, and aerobics classes.

According to the information available on its website, the comprehensive entertainment and leisure program for all ages was created so that all guests can make the most of their vacation in Guardalavaca.

Parking is also included for guests, who can also charge electric cars.
