THE HOST IS NOT Cuban and most of the empl.are from south America that is the picture here. I travel to Miami every year and it's a different culture, I remember the Versalle used to be run by Cubans and it was clean and the service was great....so please don,t go around putting different culture down because Miami was made a Metropolitan city by the Cuban imigrants.
