Despite the consistent excellence showed since its opening over 20 years ago, operations have been suspended since February 15.

According to Addys Prieto, a public relations and quality specialist at the Iberostar Grand Trinidad, the decision was made due to the complex national power grid situation over recent months.

“Our hotel is fully air-conditioned.”

Iberostar was willing to pay for the fuel needed to keep the hotel open, but acquiring it proved impossible due to the blockade imposed by the U.S. government, the specialist explained.

The property, which enjoys great national and international prestige, had significant operations scheduled at the time of closure, guaranteeing high occupancy rates from the Turkish and Czech markets.

BAmidst campaigns against tourism in Cuba, the “Best of the Best” award for the Iberostar Grand Trinidad underscores the quality of the hotel, which is situated in the prime location of Trinidad’s historic center—a city designated a World Heritage Site in 1988.

At the close of 2025, its primary markets were Turkiye, the United Kingdom, China, Spain, and Italy.
