Hotel Playa Luxury Cayo Guillermo reveals high standards of Gaviota’s new brand

The Hotel Playa Luxury Cayo Guillermo, opened on February 8 of this year, demonstrates the high levels of operations and services that the Gaviota Group is willing to achieve in its goal of reaching new standards and offering something different, that not only impresses but also makes each guest feel as if they are in a unique place.

This concept, presented during the Destinos Gaviota Tourism Exhibition 2024 by the Group’s Executive President, Carlos Miguel Latuff Carmenate, is the essence of the new Playa Luxury brand, of which the Hotel Playa Luxury Cayo Guillermo is the best example, according to guests who are already beginning to leave 5-star reviews online.

In one of the numerous traveler groups available on social media, a review reads: “We just returned from our trip (July 18-23). We’ve been to Cuba several times, and the Hotel Playa Luxury Cayo Guillermo is by far the best resort we’ve stayed at! The rooms were pristine and beautifully designed, the service was exceptional, and the butler service (via WhatsApp) made everything super easy and convenient.”

The guest adds: “We enjoyed lunch at the beach restaurant and snack bar, and dinner at Hemingway and Traditions (especially the lobster) was excellent. Breakfast at Hemingway had a great mix of pastries, fruit and hot options. Evenings at the Cigar Bar were a perfect way to relax, and the Lobby Bar had a great selection of cocktails before or after dinner. This resort exceeded all expectations. We can’t wait to return!”
