Hotel Covarrubias, accommodations are spacious and contemporary styling (Hotel Covarrubias)
By: cubaism Expert, Cuba Posted: 2010-04-10
We like this all-inclusive beach resort, despite its reclusive position miles from anywhere on the north shore of Las Tunas province. In fact, it is surrounded by miles of impenetrable mangroves and lagoons – great for birding – and the ...

Hotel Encanto del Rijo, one of our favorite provincial hotels (Hotel Encanto del Rijo)
By: cubaism Expert, Cuba Posted: 2010-04-10

The Port Santo stands atop a craggy bluff on the west side of Baracoa harbor (Hotel Porto Santo)
By: cubaism Expert, United Kingdom Posted: 2010-04-10
