The Gran Muthu Rainbow Hotel, located in Cayo Guillermo, has established itself as the most luxurious and exclusive destination for the LGBTQ+ community in Cuba.
The YouTuber Alejandro from the channel Literalmente Cubano visited the hotel and shared some insights with his followers. He mentioned that a friend invited him to stay, with an offer costing $257 for three nights with an all-inclusive package. During peak season, the price can be significantly higher.
The food offerings were limited. "It's the basics, as always," said Alejandro, noting that while there are several specialized restaurants within the facility, they do not operate daily.
This resort is managed by MGM Muthu Hotels but is owned by Grupo Gaviota S.A., part of the Cuban state monopoly GAESA, which is run by the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR).
Inaugurated in 2019, the hotel stands out not only for its location in Jardines del Rey, an area of great natural beauty but also for being an inclusive and welcoming space dedicated to celebrating diversity.
Specifically designed for the LGBTQ+ community, the Gran Muthu Rainbow offers a unique experience on the island, combining luxury, comfort, and high-level entertainment. It is the ideal place for an unforgettable vacation, although it is only visited by tourists who can pay with hard currency.
Among its attractions are pool parties, gala dinners, and specialized nighttime entertainment, ensuring unforgettable moments in a safe, respectful environment, though inaccessible for Cuban workers whose salaries are insufficient to guarantee daily meals for their families.
The management of the Gran Muthu Rainbow claims that this hotel is the perfect refuge for those seeking a space where diversity is celebrated in every corner and boasts a team of professionals capable of providing excellent service, something uncommon in most of Cuba's hotels.
In 2019, this hotel was included in the list of Cuban companies with which Americans are prohibited from doing business. That year, the U.S. government added five hotels to the blacklist: Gran Hotel Bristol Kempinski in Havana; Grand Aston Varadero Resort; Grand Aston Cayo Las Brujas Beach Resort and Spa; Gran Muthu Imperial Hotel and Gran Muthu Rainbow Hotel, both in Cayo Guillermo.
