Hotel Jagua
This is a large hotel to the south of the city, around 2km from the city centre. the building itself is a square concrete block and fairly unattractive. however, the rooms and facilities are pretty good by cuban standards. for cheap water and drinks, visit the shop outside the hotel, opposite the entrance, rather than the hotel shop itself and pay half the price.
