It’s almost time for our next TRIP!
We are heading back to CUBA and the Gran Muthu Rainbow Hotel in Cayo Guillermo! Can’t wait! We were there back in MAY, 2022. At the time, we practically had the place to ourselves. There were few visitors, as the pandemic was just receding and travel was only beginning to open up.
This has to be one of my favourite resort style vacation spots. It’s LGBTQ friendly, but not only that…it actually caters to the LGBTQ community specifically. Don’t get me wrong, EVERYONE is welcome. The catch is that everyone who does visit needs to be welcoming to LGBTQ guests. If I’m not mistaken… we were actually required to sign a legal document upon our arrival, ensuring that we would not discriminate against any guests staying at the resort. The straight community has definitely heard the good word about this resort…because judging from recent YouTube videos and comments on Facebook…it looks like the resort has really caught on with all travellers to Cuba. I think that’s a great thing!
We’ll be flying down there on GOOD FRIDAY (April 18th). I hope to take some video for YouTube. We’ll see how disastrously that plan plays out. Intention and desire don’t always come with the follow-through. I want to start travel vlogging, but I don’t know if my personality will allow it. But this is as good a place as any to give it the ole college try.
The rooms at this resort are quite spacious and beautiful. I loved the hanging chairs! I can’t wait to sit in one again. (-:
There are two beaches at the Gran Muthu Rainbow. Before we discovered the second, we really worried that the first was the only one. It’s pretty but definitely not the least bit user friendly. The one in front of the pool in the main area is a rocky outcropping…and access to the water is ZERO.
But there are some beautiful lounges and some nice views…okay to sit and look out at the water, but that’s about it. If you’re a reader, consider THE perfect place to sit and read away the day!
Once you walk the length of the entire resort, you will come across the beautiful user friendly beach. This is where we spent A LOT of our time in 2022. We honestly had it almost all to ourselves every day. I’m betting it will be a crowded hot spot during our upcoming trip!
The Grand Muthu Rainbow Hotel is a haven for the LGBTQ community. I cannot stress enough how fortunate we were to experience the acceptance we felt there. It was pure magic. During the entertainment, I was always dabbing at wet eyes. It felt like we had arrived at the most welcoming place on the planet. You can’t describe the feeling…you have to experience it to know what I’m talking about.
We did one excursion while there the last time. This time, we’ll be staying at the resort.
We are at the packing stage right now. We take about a week to get through this stage. We pack, we unpack, we pack again. Can’t wait!
See you in CUBA at the GRAN MUTHU RAINBOW HOTEL!
