The Cuban tourism group Gaviota and the Spanish chain Roc Hotels agreed on Tuesday to sign a hotel management and marketing contract for a facility located in the tourist center of Cayo Santa María.
Through a statement, the parties indicate that with the new commercial agreement the Spanish company will market the Hotel Lagunas del Este II, formerly known as Ocean Casa del Mar, under the name of Hotel Roc Casa del Mar, according to a report from the Prensa Latina (PL) agency.
Both entities agreed to cancel the contract for the Hotel Roc Lagunas del Mar, which due to various circumstances (including the COVID-19 pandemic and renovation works), could not be inaugurated under that commercial name.
The disclosed text indicates that the new inauguration of the tourist facility, with a five-star category, is scheduled for next January 27, in which the rules and work procedures of the Roc Hotels patron will be applied.
