Advantages: You'll visit a little secret place! Disadvantages: Just for a day.
...'s not really much going on there, but it's probably because of the hard economic situation that the country is living.
There's also a Museum called Bellas Artes but in my opinion is there mainly because a major r city is supposed to have an art museum.
There are also two more main public buildings that deserve a look, the Palaciodela Legislatura, which is the Parliament and it's located opposite of Moreno Park, the Palacio Municipal. Is impressive because the building is in a German renaissance style while on each side there are modern towers.
My favourite place is called La Republica de los Niños, that would be the Kids Republic.
It's a scale-model city that Evita Peron sponsored for educational and enjoyment purposes. It's great to be in there and find the Parliament House in a child size! The little city has all the main public...

Advantages: Great location in a safe area of Old Havana, Great food & music Disadvantages: noise from the bar and restaurant downstairs
...El Meson dela Flota: Mercaderes b/ Amargura and Teniente Rey. Old Havana, Ciudad deLa Habana, situated a few steps from the Old Square.
La Meson dela Flota is found in a safe and renovated area of Old Havana. It is in fact more like a restaurant with rooms rather than a hotel per se, but has the advantage of excellent food at reasonable prices (for tourist eating places - £10 for a lobster brochette, rice and salad - very filling and delicious) and live music every night with Cubano-Flamenco concerts.

Advantages: Comfortable hotel, laid back surroundings, good for non-swimmers Disadvantages: poor telephone service
...The Hotel Condessa dela Bahia is part of the Mar Hotels chain, who offer, good, clean and comfortable rooms. This particular hotel is in the middle of Alcudia on a 7km stretch of pure golden sandy beach. The hotel lays directly on the sea front, so is ideal for those who want a beach holiday. The Hotel has 5 floors which is served by 2 lifts. The staff are very friendly and all staff speak English. Prices in the hotel are very reasonable - a large pina colada will set you back only 750PTE (under £3). A buffet breakfast and dinner is served with very flexible hours. I had one vegetarian guest with me and he was very well catered for. A full entertainment programme is available in High Season from end June onwards with activities during the day for all the family. The evenings enterainment is carried out on stage at the back...
