Havana - The Riviera Hotel And Juanita

[Nino]

My voice echoed from the empty expanse and bare walls.

The bar was still visible and I could only imagine the noise of the roulette wheel and the electronic noise from the one-armed bandits and all the action and people gathered there back then.

What a great experience that visit was.

I did it again a few days later and was still impressed and awed by the place.

As to the Casa del Tabaco and Juanita - she was, like me, suffering from a tough case of coughing and bronchitis, so I shared with her the medicine my wife had sent over.

But still, the best medicine was her warm smile, her familiar hospitality, her cigars and the bottle of rum on the table that Norbert, Hannes, Tobias and I shared.

What can I say - I see myself back in that bar having a quiet drink and a good cigar.

Soon.

Very nice Nino. Great pictures. There is a roller by the name of Reinaldo at the Melia Cohiba now, nice cigars.

Juanita always has a smile on her face and despite my poor Spanish I always enjoy a visit to the riviera to see her. Not to mention that her robusto customs are fantastic.

Hello Nino,

Very nice review and pics as alway.

I remember hearing dreadful stories from various tourists about this hotel during my time in Havana, definitely interesting as long as you're not checking in

Nevertheless is part of the Havana's skyline.

All the best y hasta pronto en la farmacia .... lo necesito

Yeah, I guess it's not the best hotel to stay in - heard that many floors are closed and it's basically only partially used.

But that makes it even more quieter and ghostly ... and I don't need tourists around me anyway

Ven cuando quieras si pasas por Frankfurt - te esperamos.
