Places to Stay


Hotels

  • Villa Playa Larga
    This hotel is situated in the middle of Bahia de Cochinos, near the longest beach of Ciénaga. It has 68 rooms divided into independent bungalows.

  • Villa Playa Girón
    Like Playa Larga, the rooms are divided into independent bungalows built on sand dunes, very near the beach situated in the eastern part of Bahia de Cochinos.

  • Batey de Don Pedro
    This accommodation structure is characterized by the typical building style of the Cuban countryside; as a matter of fact, it looks like a farmstead and is equipped with 10 rooms built with palm timber. Air conditioning is not necessary here, since the particular architecture guarantees a pleasant temperature.

  • Villa Guamá
    You cannot reach Guamá by land, but you must use a boat or motorboat of the Boca nautical base for the 8 km separating the dry land from the hotel.
    It is a very particular structure, consisting of huts very similar to those of Batey de Don Pedro, built on poles at the edges of 12 artificial islands. The islands are situated in the southernmost part of Laguna del Tesoro and are linked one to the other by wooden bridges. Transfers within the Villa can be carried out on foot along wooden bridges and trails linking all the structures among them, or by a raw boat which should be required by the guests at the moment of the hotel registration.
    Day and night tour are organized to admire the environment surrounding the lagoon, night hikes for bird watching, and day routes along the channels to admire terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna.
    In Aldea Taina there is a reconstruction of the life of Indios Tainos, who lived on the island before Columbus' discovery. Moreover, a group of artists has created statues representing the ritual dancing, in order to describe the history of the Cuban aborigines. All the statues in the Aleda are original works by the artist Rita Longa.

    In recent years, this kind of accommodation opportunity has been very successful, above all in the Municipalities of Caletón, Mario Lopez, and Girón. Many inhabitants have restructured their houses to rent rooms to the tourists. They are almost always provided with air conditioning.
