Baseball and Cuba go together like a burger and home fries; something that has been known for years. Many of the Major League Baseball’s ’star’ players are Cuban’s who grew up playing the game.

For Cuban’s it isn’t just about a favorite pass time or a competition so much as it is about a party. It’s the country’s version of a friendly game of Monopoly.

Plus it’s within walking distance from pretty much everything. There are only 19 specious rooms set in a typical Caribbean colonial architecture house. All rooms have AC and bathroom. The hotel has a pool and a restaurant, called Bert’s Bar, which looks like a typical sports bar (with TV and snacks).
