Hotel Tropicoco, Playas del Este, Havana, Cuba
Address: Ave. Sur y Las Terrazas, Playa Santa Maria del Mar
All-inclusive beach resort on East Havana Beaches. This imposing five-story hotel stretches on for a hundred yards or so in each direction from its blocky concrete lobby. This place hosts many group and package tours, and it's usually pretty lively. Still, it's hard not to find the Soviet-style architecture of this resort a little depressing, particularly the rectangular pool, wedged in to a shady area in an alcove of the building. The whole complex has been remodeled and the rooms and facilities are in decent shape.
The hotel was designed to guarantee guests a vacation full of rest and relaxation and it is a symbol among the beaches in the eastern part of Havana. The best feature here is the fact that a beautiful and extremely popular section of beach is located just across the street.

Choose from 7 km of white sand beach...Bacuranao Beach is the closest to Havana, and strictly speaking is in the Celimar, Habana del Este district. Through the beach runs the fresh water Bacuranao creek. The beach is not easy for the tourist to find, but is popular with the locals and the Habaneros.
Playa Santa Maria del Mar is a pleasant non-touristy beach, but packed with Habaneros at weekends. It has white sand with remains of coral and shells. Its waters are crystal clear with different shades of green and blue. Guanabo is a charming seaside town with a magnificent beach and a nightlife provided by many discos.
