Booking problem
Cuba Hotel Closure or Relocation: What Travellers Should Do
When a Cuba hotel closes or a booking is moved, travellers should compare the replacement carefully instead of accepting only the hotel’s star rating.
Quick answer: request the change in writing, compare location and services, keep receipts and contact the seller before accepting a materially weaker replacement.
Compare the replacement hotel
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Location | A peninsula resort and a downtown hotel are not equivalent. |
| Beach | Confirm direct beach access and current conditions. |
| Room type | Verify occupancy, bedding, accessibility and premium sections. |
| Services | Compare restaurants, pools, WiFi, elevators and children’s services. |
| Transfer | Confirm airport and hotel transportation. |
What to request in writing
- Reason for the closure or relocation.
- Name and address of the replacement hotel.
- Room category and included services.
- Any price difference, refund or credit.
- Cancellation and insurance options.
Keep evidence
Save the original booking, screenshots, emails, chat messages and receipts. Photograph the room and unavailable services after arrival when the replacement differs from what was promised.
