2 Best Hotels in Baracoa, Eastern Cuba

Baracoa's Seboruco Castle was renovated and transformed into this charming hotel with views of the town—from its quaint Historic Center to its Malecón—El Yunque, and the sea. Even the pool and its terrace offer panoramic vistas, though a 3rd-floor bar provides some of the best perspectives. Rooms mix comfortable, classic antiques with modern conveniences, and the attentive staff provides top-notch service.

If you like the idea of sitting in the shade on a rocking chair steps from a secluded, palm-lined beach, this guest house is perfect. The sands here are white, and the waters are protected by a cove. The house is simple, offering such basic comforts as a common TV lounge. As there are only a few rooms, you must make reservations well in advance through the nearby Hotel Castillo or any Gaviota office.
