The Cuban group Cubanacán S.A., with a strong presence in the Island's tourist market, is the main operator in Guardalavaca, a tourist destination in the eastern province of Holguín, where it provides a wide range of services, including lodging, to meet the needs of the most demanding vacationers.

"Your home away from home" is the slogan of the Club Amigo Guardalavaca, the oldest hotel in that eastern Cuban beach resort, which was inaugurated in July 1976.

The establishment, which for many years was the only hotel in the territory, has 234 air-conditioned rooms and operates under the "all inclusive" modality.

The hotel has shops, a club and swimming pools for adults and children, and a large group of followers, faithful visitors who stay there every year to spend their vacations in direct contact with the area's almost virgin nature.

Travelers can also stay at the 233-room Atlántico Hotel and its bungalows, which are surrounded by exuberant vegetation that adds freshness and shadow to the strip of sand along the coastline.

The bungalows contribute 136 rooms, which are complemented by a network of services ranging from children's programs to laundry and car rentals for those who want to tour the Island by themselves.

Cubanacán's offers for both adults and children also include table games, activities by the swimming pool, aerobic exercises and dance lessons. Every night, the restaurants' menus feature a different theme, serving dishes from Cuban, Italian and international cuisine.

The newest establishment in Guardalavaca is the four-star, 437-room Las Brisas Hotel Complex, which was built as a villa featuring a neocolonial architectural style.

However, cultural activities are the hotel's major attractions, including shows such as "El regreso de Colón" (Columbus' Return), which symbolically recreates the Genoese sailor's landing in Cuba more than five centuries ago.

The presence of Cubanacán S.A. in Guardalavaca goes beyond running 900 hotel rooms, since the group also owns six restaurants of the chain Palmares, commercial centers run by the chain Universo, diving centers, facilities for horse riding, and motorcycle and bicycle rentals.

Cubanacán S.A. also owns two discotheques, one of which, La Roca, was built on a huge rock on the beach.

Cubanacán Travel Agency takes tourists to other places of interest throughout the Island, guaranteeing high-quality services based on the slogan of the Hotel Club Amigo Guardalavaca: "Your home away from home".
