The largest waterfall in cuba we were told. The water is sourced from mountain spring. The natural surroundings are beautifull and relaxing. Many people go there to take a swim to cool off. Definitely worth visiting. The road to the fall is unfortunately not in a good shape.

Best activity I went on in Cuba!!! Absolutely stunning waterfalls that you can swim in, there's even a jungle tour to a cave. We got a taxi from Cienfuegos and got there around 10:30 (come as early as possible because it got busy later on).

Beautiful landscape and natural pools for a refreshing swim! Go early in the morning and you will have it all for yourself. Stunning views.

We went from cienfuegos to El Nicho. Trip was suppose to cost 15 euro pp we ended up paying 20 euro pp for the trip and 10 euro pp entrance fee. We were travelling with 6 in one car. Make sure to watch out for 'all included trips'. I really cant grasp the idea that a government organisation would ask for euro instead of CUP. El Nicho itself is beautiful, small and bit crowded (we went in low season). The place itself is not big, 500m walk from the parking. Water is very refreshing cold. Image shows all entry prices for El Nicho and wide surroundings.

Beautiful setting and lovely water for swimming. Short walk through some easy terrain to get to the pools - good fun to go off the trails and explore the surrounding jungle. Quite expensive access.

Such an amazing place to visit. It is usually packed, but even so we managed to have a good swim in the pools. Recommend 100%

Beautiful place . Waterfalls are worth the hike . Safe nature trail

Attention: always ask for the price of the food and drinks, also the chairs and the umbrella (we are not even sure, if the umbrella is really private property..!) the prices are similar to europe, actually even more expensive! + the beach is pretty with nice sand

I loved that this beach have umbrellas already there to protect you from the Sun.

Very good diving, there is even a small cave to swim through. The bay is shallow, covered with sea grass which gives home for zillions of animals. The food at the beach restaurant is quite good. Very friendly guests helped with translation.

Beautiful beach, better cocktails, great way to spend our last day in Cuba

Lovely beach. Spectacular sunsets.

(Translated by Google) A nice beach, but I didn't like the dirt from people throwing beer cans everywhere. It's a nice place, it's unfortunate that the people are so dirty. (Original) Una linda playa, pero no me gustó la suciedad de la gente que tira latas de cerveza por todos lados. Es un lindo lugar, lamentable que la gente sea tan sucia.

(Translated by Google) The beach is mostly frequented by locals, but unfortunately it's very dirty and full of abandoned cans. The sea isn't great, but you can grab a bite to eat at the kiosks behind it. (Original) Spiaggia frequentata soprattutto da locali, purtroppo molto sporca, piena di lattine abbandonate, mare niente di che, possibilità di mangiare qualcosa ai chioschi alle sue spalle.

Punta Gorda in Cienfuegos is a stunning peninsula where the sea breeze meets elegant colonial charm. The views over the bay are unforgettable, especially at sunset when the sky turns golden and pink. You’ll find quiet streets, colorful villas, and relaxed locals. It’s perfect for a peaceful stroll, a drink by the water, or watching vintage cars pass by. A highlight of Cienfuegos that beautifully captures the city’s serene, romantic spirit.

Nice place to rest from city noise

Beautiful and peaceful area.

Beautiful area. Lovely park at the end with a bar making excellent pina colada

Very nice, absolutely a highlight of any Cuba trip

I love cienfuegos ,and it's beaches ,i really recomend going ther.

'Serenity combines the romanticism' is the best definition for the place!

Very pretty place, but I have never been inside.

Top👌

Pretty nice place :)

(Translated by Google) Really interesting, the architecture of Cienfuegos is very modern and seems to have been recently restored, it's really fresh (Original) Veramente interessante, l’architettura di Cienfuegos è molto moderna e sembra restaurata da pochissimo, è veramente fresca

Super elegant, peaceful and clean park. Very central and surrounded by many venues and nice cafes and restaurants. Sometimes it even hosts sone nice evening events. Great place to meet locals ❤️🇨🇺

A big concrete park just down the road from our hotel - Meliá San Carlos - and opposite the main theatre, the Parque José Martí is a nice place to relax and go for a stroll. Old men playing chess in the shade and tourists like us taking photos and listening to our respective guides talking about José Martí - a Spanish guy who is a bit of a national hero after devoting much of his life to the cause of Cuban independence. This park, a big monument in Plaza de le Revolución and the country's main international airport, to name but a few things, are all named after him and I'm sure there are many other sites around the country named in his honour too.

José Martí Park in Cienfuegos, Cuba, stands as a historic and vibrant heart of the city, embodying its rich cultural heritage. Named after the revered Cuban national hero, the park is surrounded by significant landmarks that highlight the city's neoclassical charm. The beautiful Cienfuegos Cathedral and the impressive Terry Theatre frame the park, each telling a story of the city's past and its artistic legacy. In the center of the park, a statue of José Martí serves as a constant reminder of his enduring influence on Cuban history. The unique Arc de Triomphe, the only one of its kind in Cuba, adds a distinctive touch to this lively square. Regular cultural and social events transform the park into a bustling hub, attracting both locals and visitors to experience the vibrant spirit of Cienfuegos.

Nice place to wander around and enjoy the beautiful buildings and street life. The crowd on their smartphones linked to the local WiFi place!

The park is the central point of town with the only triumphal arch in Cuba erected by homesick French settlers. It is surrounded by the most important buildings such as the Cathedral, Government House, Teatro Terry, Palacio Ferrer, musical dome.

Gorgeous! Ask your taxi driver to drive you around the park even if you are just driving through Cienfuegos. It's worth the detour!

Nice square in the town with a theatre on one side (it was being refurbished when we visited).

Great place to hang out and swim for the day.. you can pick out a secluded spot for peace and quiet too. The food and booze are plentiful ... Not the best, but you can drink all day ! We cycled there from Playa Giron.

It's a jaw-dropping place!!! I visited during late September. I terribly got burn but wether was wonderful to chill with my wife. $15 will satisfy you with compact lunch and free drinks from 10am until 4pm.

We loved this place, incredible still blue water for snorkelling, buffet lunch wasn't great but drinks were good and overall great value for money.

Awesome place even though the road to get there is a bit damaged

Nice beach, you can spend the whole day without going anywhere. You can rent a mask and swim a little. Snorkeling is not very good as the coral reef is poor and old. They do not want to restore it. The beach works on the system all inclusive. The cost of visiting 15 convertible pesos. There is parking, but it is not free! Place for a single visit. Around you can find a lot of interesting places.

Did an awesome diving lesson... 35 CUC... Thanks for all

I went there but not with a guided trip. I had the worst experience in the entire Cuba. They tried to get money to watch our bicycles when our Airbnb host told us that we shouldn't pay anything if we arrive by bicycles. Then, the kitchen was already closed (we arrived 2/3 hours before closing time) and they asked us to pay the full price for the whole day when it includes food. The worst thing of this entire experience was their behavior. They were very rude, entitled and, most of all, they were extremely unpleasant because they were cursing us in Spanish. And I know Spanish

Small museum, but a good visit to see the history behind the invasion.

Museo Girón is a powerful and deeply moving place to visit. The exhibits are small but filled with real stories, photographs, and artifacts that bring the events of the Bay of Pigs to life. Walking through the museum, I could feel the pride and resilience of the Cuban people — it’s not just history, it’s emotion. The staff were knowledgeable and happy to answer questions, giving more context about what happened and how it shaped the country. If you’re interested in Cuba’s past and want to understand its spirit beyond the beaches, this museum is a must-see.

Small museum but good to see Cubans view of the US invasion to Cuba. If you ask you can also get a book with english translation. You can also use the toilet there.

Awesome and it has WIFI.... When your done go to the far beach called Playa Los Cocos which is nicer than the hotel one. If you like adventure ask about renting a horse. Ask anyone as they all know the guy who rents horses. They are well cared for, well fed and the 2.5 houres tour cost me 10CUC (I gave him 20 as I had the time of my life).

Interesting museum to get to know a bit better the Cuban history.

Nice and well organised. Good to learn the Cuban view on the invation of the US

Very small museum split into two wings charting the failed CIA-backed invasion here. Unfortunately, everything is in Spanish which makes it difficult to connect with the exhibits. Bring a translator if you're visiting. The intact ex-WW2 vehicles outside the museum were the most interesting things here. You may also have a chance to watch an English subtitled short film about the invasion at the back of the museum, otherwise the whole place takes 30 minutes max to complete.

This is honestly the most beautiful cenote I’ve seen in Cuba. It’s a cool mix of fresh and salt water. You can see freshwater creatures on top and saltwater fish deeper down. The right side goes from around 2 to 3 meters deep to about 23 meters. The left side is even deeper and way more impressive. If you keep going to the far left, that part is absolutely amazing. Most people don’t go that far, but you should definitely try it. Totally worth it!

A nice place to relax away from civilization. We came across a crab migration, there were hundreds of them. You can rest and then go to the other side of the road to the Caribbean Sea where you can snorkel

As a first-time scuba diver, I had a great time at Cueva de los Peces. For 35 USD, you can go snorkling in the Cueva and go scuba-diving with a guide in the sea, on the other side of the road (you can also just do snorkling for 5 USD and they will provide you with a mask). My guide gave a crash-course on basic safety tips and held my arm throughout our dive while showing me giant crabs, eels, fish, corals, etc. I felt safe the whole time.

One of the nice attractions of the area of Playa Giron. Across the road there is a nice beach. Don’t forget to bring bathing suit. The water in the Cenote is amazingly nice to dive and swim.

Amazing fresh water stream -- super deep and crystal clear it feels like you're swimming in bottled mineral water. Suprisingly quiet as well as most people hang out at the beach nearby instead (which is awesome for snorkeling). But this spring-fed stream is just so magical with lots of trees around it as well

First off this used to be a great place. It costs 200 pecos entry but there are no fish. Apparently with the hurricane a few years ago, there are no longer any fish. This is a small cenote and seems somewhat dirty. It gets hoards of bus traffic. We did go snorkeling across the road and that was pretty decent. You have to go about 100m out to the right or left to find some nice coral features.

Best time of my life here! Bring your snorkelling gear and do both sides of the street. When in the cenote, go through the rocks into the smaller part and continue to the end (don't worry it is safe). You can swim down there for an extra 10 minutes one way. It is actually prettier too! You feel like you are swimming in a jungle! I had the crocodile as food, it was fine. Heads up: all the choices at this restaurant are 15CUC so no savings here but there is a booth in the parking lot that offers sandwiches and good BURGERS for 3CUC!!! The ocean part is to die for. I saw huge schools of fish after only a few minutes. I personally liked the corals here, lots of colour and variety. Don't believe the Debbie Downers. There are over 20 dive sites within 10 minutes and many shipwrecks put there on purpose for our entertainment. This is snorkelling paradise! If you try a little you can even see monster groupers, come on, where else can do do all of this FOR FREE???????? Yes I did say free.

Once a beautiful place, but now a dilapidated one. Missing tourists, crumbling equipment, broken boats and hungry crocodiles. When you start talking to the local workers, it is very sad and frustrating. At the restaurant I was first given an overpriced tourist menu and after a reproachful look I was given a half Cuban menu. Even the entrance fee to the farm is, according to the (offensive) Cuban tradition, more than 15 times higher for tourists than for locals.

We were lucky that the criadero (nursery) was practically empty when we visited. It as very hot, so avoiding delays caused by crowds was great. Very educational and well looked-after nature park with loads of Cuban crocodiles at every stage of development from hatchlings to enormous mature adults. Everything was explained to us in great detail and I learned something new about the Bay of Pigs invasion: A lot of the invading troops were killed and eaten by these crocodiles in the swamps around where we were standing. Typical outdoor public toilets, but this time the worst so far. No light, extremely humid, all urinalshadbeen smashed off the walls, no running water to either flush or wash one's hands, and still the matronly guardian of the toilet paper was outside with her wicher bowl! Lunch was included and OK, following the usual pattern of you eat what you're given, no choices and you pay for any drinks - not even water is included. After lunch, we were due to go on a boat trip around the swamp etc, to see the crocs, but it was far too hot and there was no cover on the smallish boat so we decided against going out on the water and barbecuing ourselves! All in all a good visit to see the animals.

It was very interesting, I've never had such respect for crocodiles until i saw them in action for their meal :D Definitely recommend

Very good facilities! I didn’t expect that. You can the Cuban “version” of crocodile, an ancient fish which they try to reserve it before its distinction small crocodile, at a large facility There are shop and restaurants.

Good place to see crocodiles. Gets very crowded in waves as each tour bus arrives. You have to pay to use the washrooms 1 CUCwhich would be ok if it had toilet seats, didn't smell so bad, was actually clean, and provided you with more than 2 sheets of toilet paper. You can pay to feed or hold a croc, 1 CUC.

We also only paid 5 CUC and got a drink for free. It was nice seeing the crocodiles. Hopefully for a good reason, as they stated, that they raise them because the crocodile babies otherwise die. Not so much to see otherwise.

Excellent fun but bring lots and lots of sun anti mosquito spray and loose change in case you want to fishing rod-feed some crocs.

50 CAD$ FOR 2 ADULTS+ 2 KIDS. 5$ each child for camel ride. June 2025. Few people. Shadow, 30 min show. Good for kids

Nice show for kids. There are two shows per day, at 11:00 and 15:30. If you want to swimming with them, there are 3 slots per day, 9:30, 11:30, 16:00. Best is before show, in the morning. Bring the small bills EUR or USD. Entrance for two adults plus one swimming was 80 euros. Pictures and video are another 50 EUR (55 usd or 70 cad per price list). In bar you can buy a beer or lemonade, there is no water and espresso machine doesn’t work :-). Prices are 5 EUR/USD per any drink.

We flew with Air Canada but they dont offer excursions with Dolphins, so we Booked through Nexus Tours in our lobby to see a show and swim with the dolphins. It was $75 USD per person if we took the bus on our own, which was our only choice as the tour only offers pick up and drop off one day a week and we missed it. With direct transfers it would have been $90 USD. The hop on/hop off bus is $5 per person (USD or CAD cash) and it drops you off across the street. The Dolphin show itself is kind of short and its hard to see due to people standing at the fence instead of sitting in the bleachers during the show. The dolphins do some tricks and interact with the trainer which is really fun to watch. The dolphins look healthy and happy, despite the areas they live in not being big enough in my opinion. When it came time to swim with them, we were brought to a different section, told to change into our bathing suits and got a life jacket. My husband and I were with a group of two other women. There is NO opportunity for you to take pictures of your interaction on your own cameras unless you are with someone who is not also swimming. Anyone with you who is not swimming with them will be waiting on the dock and can take some photos/videos. However, the swimming is really just creating photo opportunities for the photographers. You get a kiss from the dolphins, touch their stomachs, they pull you around in a circle, you do a little jump and then do another circle and its essentially over. We did throughly enjoy the interaction and being in the water with them was really cool, but I do wish the importance was put on the experience of the customers and less on the photos. When you're finished, you rinse off and are told to go get your photos. You cannot buy individual photos, you need to buy the whole package. It was $50 USD or $65 CAD. They had no connection for credit cards and we were essentially told too bad. We pushed because we didn't bring cash (our mistake) and after about an hour someone came with a machine. We were charged $65 as Canadians...but our card was charged in USD so we paid $90 for the package instead. They should have charged us $50. So yep, we got scammed and didn't notice until we got back to our resort. Nexus tours was not helpful in correcting this. We got about 20 photos in total for two people and an 8 minute video including the experience of everyone else in the group. Overall, it was a good experience and I didn't feel bad for the dolphins and their conditions as an animal lover. Nothing felt cruel about their envirnment or treatment which I was nervous about. Mostly disappointed in the payment issue.

Paid $40 for family of 3 (two adults, one 4yo), our Spanish is basic but they were explaining everything in English, too. Pic with the dolphin cost $5 for one but both us took a pic. Show takes about 30min. There is really cool playground, too. The only minus...bathrooms. Don't let me start it...

We tried to visit the place after reading the info on their website and my own personal experience from visiting the place years ago. Unfortunately, the price they charge is not what they advertised on their own website. It is not $60 but $83!!! We were shocked but when I showed them the info on their website, they did not acknowledge it and pretended that they knew nothing and the ticket is $83. This is an extortionate price for a few minutes in the water with the dolphins.

Very very informal business. Few things to take into consideration: 1. If you don't speak Spanish, you better buy a tour in your hotel. If you speak Spanish and want to go to buy your tickets at the door, be ready to negotiate the price. The first price that I got was US$80 and I had to push the price down. 2. If you decide to swim with the dolphins, be aware that you cannot take pics but you will be forced to buy a package that includes pics (around 100) and a video. You will also need to negotiate the price as the first price is $US110. 3. The washroom is very dirty

Absolutely amazing, I we have really enjoyed the show and swimming with dolphins. Very helpful stuff! If you have time definitely recommend.

During my trip to Cuba I visited Varadero 3 times, on each of my 3 trips this place was a must stop. The views are beautiful, the staff are lovely and the drinks are to die for. One of the bartenders said they had the best Pina Colada in Varadero, and I agree, it was definitely the best one I had! Love this park and cant wait to visit again on my next trip!

Wonderful place, very, very beautiful park, with amazing mini lake and awesome landscape, special thanks for wonderful bench, very nice view from top, and very good small bridges, very nice location, inside park few good restaurants and music club, with great music performance every day, i mean Beatles club, THANK YOU VERY MATCH AND GREATEST GRATITUDE FOR YOU DEAR PARK !!!!!!!

The parc ruined my wedding. We paid a big sum of money to use the bar in the parc as a private event. They did not respect that and allowed anyone in. The alcohol we had purchased disappeared very fast because random cubans who were not part of our wedding were drinking our alcohol, people who we didn't invite ate our wedding food. As the bride, I didn't eat at all because they forgot to make my food completely and then they shut it down hours earlier than what was in the contract. My husband had put his backpack behind the bar to keep it safe and someone stole it. Some random lady who was not part of the wedding let my 7 year old autistic kid get on the paddleboat without knowing who she belonged to, I caught that just in time and got her before she was completely on the boat. It was pitch black at that point. They didn't respect anything. Never book a wedding there.

Nice park for a walk or to go jogging in the morning. A couple of animals are running around and they have some nice restaurants and bars which open in the evening. The mini golf place is pretty messed up but I guess it is not active anymore, same for the pool at the back of the park.

A very nice little park, it was rainy so we didn't see too much in it, but it was a very nice little walk around.

I'm not sure what others were expecting from this park but for us it was beautiful I'm very much worth visiting. We hired a boat out on the lake and had a good walk around the grounds stopping in a bar for a mojito or two!

the Pina Coladas we're delicious strong!!!! Try it without rum, it is very refreshing. The service is excellent. Loved this place. My family and I were here for a full afternoon. Worth it.

Plenty of souvenirs, nice people.

A nice little arts and crafts market and the place to go for souvenir shopping. Many interesting items and maybe some handmade by local artisans. Vendors are friendly and prices are reasonable. The same souvenirs are offered at several stands throughout the town.

Almost all the stores have the same type of stuff. Better to take the US dollar to get some value for money. Everything is inflated in Canadian or Cuban pesos.

A good place to buy handicrafts and souvenirs, but if you do not speak Spanish, they offer higher prices so you should bargain 😉

Arts and crafts market. It was a 20 minute walk from our hotel, Club Kawana. Good place to buy locally made souvenirs and support local artists.

So great..stop and have a cerveza y people watch

A nice street with a lot of shops and bazars. Nice for a walk in the evening

Crystal clear, chilly water with varying depths and caves all around. Awesome place to chill and admire the beauty. A must see if you're into these sites.

I recently explored a captivating cave with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming. Went with the family, and the ethereal beauty and tranquility of the cave created an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend diving into this hidden gem!

They got drinks and life jackets if needed. Life jackets not included in the price. The water was a good temperature. Floor was when in the water was hard to walk on. It went from 1m to 2m to 20m real fast. Would recommend

This was a pretty cool place to go! The water was lovely. The walk down is beautiful! We spent about 1.5 hours in the water exploring. When we were done we went up top and had drinks and food and then changed. The cave is a lot smaller that expected. It was very busy, I would suggest going in the morning! We were there for 2 hours and had about 30 minutes to ourselves then the buses from excursions came. They have spikes on the deck posts to hang your bags from. They have a life guard. We took a cab from our resort and asked if he could wait and take us home. We paid 80 CAD and we got two hours of swim time. Total time with him was 4 hours (The excursion was $75USA per person) this was saved us a lot of money. Things I wish I brought: - toilet paper - swim goggles - water proof flashlight for the cave

A beautiful cave with clear turquoise fresh water. You can dive, swim or snorkel. The place is actually not big. We arrived at 9:30am so it wasn't that crowded. But I can imagine that it must be jam-packed in the middle of the day when it's hot outside and nice and cool in the cave.

This place was incredible!!!!!! The whole experience. That being said go alone and not with the excursion. I read that the excursion you only get so much time in the caves and it's expensive.. we took a cab from our resort. Paid $5 each to get in and swam for 30 mins or really as long as you want... the water temperature and colour are JUST AMAZING!!!! There is a small little bar where we got drinks! Also if you were already there check out PLAYA CORAL only 5 mins from there!!

Amazing. Cool waters, beautiful cave, small crowd during March. I jumped from one of the sides after climbing up the rocks, very fun experience. Best cave I've visited in Cuba.

Not the most colorful, but regardless a great experience here. Really made me want to try scuba diving.

I was there last week and have never seen such different species in my life ever, it was amazong. 40 minutes snorkelling and Saturn cave swimming $45.. I'd do it again..

Good snorkeling through a very nice reef. The guides are very friendly and the dogs are too. I highly recommend getting a piña colada in a coconut if you go.

A nice beach for snorkeling. Lots of fish and coral. About a 30 minute drive from Varadero. 10 CUC for he snorkeling tour. But it is a public beach and you could bring your own gear and go out on your own.

Good beach for snorkelling. unfortunately it was destroyed by huricane irma so there is no shop or anything. there still is a beach and the snorkelling is still available. going into the water can be a bit tricky though. there are some locals selling pina colada and on a rare occasion lobster. we found these portugese man o war when visiting so not such a good idea to test the water. later is was better

Fun beach with white sand and coral mix. Free entry, and there's a small shop that offers food and drink. Good sea life in the water with lots of tropical fish and stingrays. Makes for a fun time!

Beautiful spot with a nice piece of reef filled with fish. Great staff who take you out for your excursion.

Bellemare Cave is an excellent place to escape from the hot sun and explore something unique. If you’re planning to visit Varadero to Havana, it’s the perfect halfway stop, definitely worth a visit! The entrance fee is very low and it includes travel guide. Our tour guide, Eric, was amazing, he explained everything so well and really took care of the group throughout the visit. You can hire a photographer for an extra cost, but most smartphones capture great pictures too (just remember to buy a ticket if you plan to use your own device for photography). The cave itself is fascinating with beautiful natural formations, wonders of nature! The humidity is quite high inside, highly recommend wearing light clothing and well gripped shoes since the ground can be a bit slippery. Overall, we had a very cool and refreshing experience!

One of the tourists attractions that put Cuba and Matanzas on the map. For foreigners you need to pay USD5 entrance fee and another USD5 for phone or camera.

Not only being the largest and deepest cave system in Cuba, it is beautiful as well. You must join the guided tour to venture in. They accept US$ only. Our guide managed pretty well both the Spanish speaking and English speaking groups in one go. A must-go when you visit Cuba.

Amazing! We walked for 700m inside. Lots of cool cave formations. Their Tour guide was great. Kids enjoyed having their own flashlights to check out little tunnels etc, but would have been fine without it also. It wasn’t as physically demanding to climb in and out, someone of average fitness level can do it!

Fantastic tour of the caves that have Calcium carbonate crystals forming since years. Good tour for $5 plus $5 for bringing your camera. A must visit in Matanzas.

This is an awesome experience but if you are claustrophobic and you can't walk a lot I wouldn't suggest this because there's only one way in and one way out and it's really beautiful it's just a lot of turns ups and downs and the stairs take forever to leave but overall for the price it's amazing and historical.

Great place for exploring. Be prepared to sweat. If you are old bring a fan and water and your puffer if you have breathing problems. Also if you go down you need to go up so any mobility issues will be tested. I went with my mom and mother in law who are in their 60s and it was tough for them. If young and able I highly recommend it!

Such a great place to stop on the way to Havana as it's the half way mark. Washrooms, drinks and a little place to get a sandwich. The views are spectacular.

Nice beautiful view on both sides of the mountains and of the coast. Offers an area to refresh or pick up souvenir. Gives you a great view of the bridge

Beautiful view. Looks like the sea gets to the sky

Perfect place to stop. Amazing view, refreshments, and souvenir shops.

Breathtaking views from the top. Tallest bridge in Cuba; one of the wonders of Cuban Civil Engineering. There is a small restaurant that has washrooms and other shops where you can purchase souvenirs. They offer piña coladas made with real pineapples ($5 CAD/ USD for 1).

Very scenic place to view the mountain. Excellent place with drinks bar, shops and very very clean rest rooms. Surely stop by if going to havana from varadero.

This bridge is absolutely stunning! It feels like you are in the middle of the jungle. The view is spectacular and there is a small shop that serves fresh pina coladas for $5. Definitely worth a stop on the way from Varadero/Mantanzas to Havana.

Super relaxing on weekday ofc, abit crowded on weekend. The beach is beautiful

AWESOME

Beautiful beach, crystal blue sea. The sand is fine, the beach is neat, and the sunny furniture is not expensive. You can also drink and eat something on the beach. Real enjoyment.

Love this beach! Very quiet. Cabanas aren’t too expensive to rent. The service is great and the drinks were the strongest I had while in Cuba.

A very beautiful beach full of friendly vendors!!! Highly recommended

The guys that work there are attentive. You can rent chairs and umbrellas for 2 cuc. You also order food and they'll bring it right to you on the beach. The food itself was excellent albeit a little pricey. The first few feet in the water is sandy but after that it almost becomes like concrete and is very hard and rough. A nice beach all the same.

Went here for our last day in Cuba it was a pretty windy day but it was very hot! It was my first time seeing, hearing and touching the sea! (Very salty indeed lol) The sea made me feel better and relaxed. Melted away all my stress and worries. I love that I had the opportunity to play with the waves and feel like me again. The sun can really kiss your skin! My friend and I ordered a wonderful fish plate with rice and salad, and 2 bottles of water ($7,500cup in total) and coconut drinks (one with rum ($350cup), and one without rum ($300cup)) it was great I felt like I was at a Jamaican event but really and truly I'm at the beach in Cuba! I would love to come back to this beach again but this time with my family! 30min. from the hotel we're staying at but it was well worth it! It was a legit icing on top! Beach chairs are $100cup each, and umbrellas are $100cup each.

The water was stunning and the food was delicious! Santa Maria del Mar is about 20 minutes from Old Havana - a quick getaway from the city. The beach was not crowded. We rented an umbrella and chairs. We really had fun enjoying the beach, great sunny day, and friendly people.

Went here way before the pandemic and I really enjoyed our trip here! Coming to Havana, Cuba and visiting the beach? Why not! Santa Maria Del Mar will be the perfect choice for you, beach lovers. My colleague and I really loved it when we got a chance to come and visit Playa Santa Maria del Mar. We booked the cool, pink taxi to take us here from our NH hotel in Havana. It took us around 45 minutes drive along the legendary route of Maleçon overlooking the coast of Havana. We really had fun enjoying the beach, great sunny day, and friendly people. When we arrived, it was around 11 and not many people were there. But we managed to enjoy fresh coconut water, playing around in the shallow beach, get ourselves cool hats and take tons of pictures. The beach is clean and you can rent the beach lounge and the umbrella lining on the shore. I forget how much the trip cost but I guess it was around USD 100 for both of us and the taxi took us back to the city and dropped us at the Museum of the Revolution, Museo de la Revolucion. And the last surprise that I love from our trip to the beach is the purple vintage car I saw parking there on the beach! Super cute indeed! Make sure you bring your change when you want to dip in the water. I didn't use the toilet but I saw toilet and showers nearby. If you want to buy or order something, make sure you ask the price first and clearly. I really had fun there and although we didn't really stay for too long, it was a lovely trip!

Beautiful plaza in Havana beside the St Francisco de Asis Basilica. It’s a very nice place to take pictures for weddings. The architecture is very beautiful all around. This is another touristic place with seeing and exploring.

This is another one of the many beautiful Plazas in downtown Havana, with a number of very interesting art installations. Lots of cafés are in the area.

Our tour guide for the Havana trip recommended to see Havana by horse and buggy as my husband uses a cane and walking tours wouldn't be a great idea. We got to see alot of new and old Havana real life. We visited John Lennons bar for those who grew up with the Beatles music very interesting will all the Beatles music

A plaza surrounded by gorgeous heritage buildings. It's next to a modern road, a great starting point for a walk to the old town that is vehicle-free.

Plaza de San Francisco de Asís Square was built facing Havana port in the 16th century. That time Spanish galleons would stop here on their way through the Indies to Spain.  Here you can find a lot of pleasant cafes and restaurants and definetely it is one of the most interesting squares in the city.

One of Havanas most popular open squares, located just across from the cruise ship terminal. There is plenty to see. From the old Cathederal, the Fountain of Lions, surrounding architecture or an ourdoor cafe this is a great place to begin your Cuban adventure!

This is one of the most touristy plazas in Havana as it is right next to the cruise terminal. You will see lots of tours being offered, it is a good starting point for exploring Havana. Beautiful church located to many other churches and points of interest. Come here in the early morning and you will have the place to yourself!

This is probably one of the mostly visited public squares of Havana. There are a number of art installations which give the place an artistic feeling.

A wonderful place to be during the day; a nightmare at night if you’re living right next to it! People don’t sleep, once the music is done late at night, drunk people start fighting and dogs start barking! Lots is going on this place 😓 though I like the day vibes and architecture of this square.

Driving an antique car, listening to Habana music and taking a stroll through the old town of Habana is definitely a life enjoyment.

Fabulous place to see. Don’t say your name to the guitar players and use Eddy for your tour guide

Plaza Vieja is one of the most beautiful and lively squares in Havana, surrounded by stunning colonial buildings and filled with vibrant cafes, restaurants, and art galleries. The architecture is impressive, and there’s a lot to explore in the area. However, be mindful of the sun, especially during midday. The square has limited shade, so it can get quite hot. I recommend visiting in the morning or late afternoon, and be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and water to stay comfortable. Despite the heat, it’s a must-visit spot to soak in the atmosphere of Old Habana

Beautiful plaza with colonial style buildings surrounding the plaza and brick paved. There are several restaurants and bars in and around the plaza definitely a must visit. You can see the buildings and surroundings have been beautifully renovated. Just beware of the usual scams and beggars that may approach you.

This is described as a visual feast, showcasing a blend of architectural styles baroque to Art Nouveau, each with its unique character. Some have stained-glass windows and arched structures and along with this being the main Havana Square makes it a great place. However in the past it witnessed public events like executions, processions, and bullfights. Unfortunately some of the more iconic features were abolished apparently in the late 1930’s. Plus, this is one of the main places to get wifi connections in the weird way to access the internet in Cuba.

Beautiful plaza in Havana in front of the cathedral de la Virgen Maria. Nice place to take pictures and visit one many churches in the area. The architecture has been well preserved. This is a touristic place so it is very safe but can be crowded depending on the time of visit.

This a big square right around the Cathedral of Havana. It is best to go early in the morning, when there are not many people. There are a few men who just want to impose their classic cars rides. Other than that, you can relax and explore the area.

One of the best landmarks in old Havana. Beautiful old cathedral. You can find Old women dressed in traditional clothes that are diviners sitting right next to the Chatedral. It also worth going inside, there no waiting or lines, the entrance is also free. But be respectful and beware that there might be Mass at the time of your visit.

Beautiful plaza. The main cathedral is gorgeous as well although it's not open to tourists, at least not during my visit. A couple of museums nearby and restaurants as well. A bit pricey just to keep in mind since you'll be paying in CUC as a tourist.

Great Plaza. Gives you a medieval feeling. Also the Cathedral is very impressive from the inside, just like Italian Cathedrals!

Absolutely beautiful, well worth the visit🤩

A must see in Habana. One of the best architectural samples of the Cuban Heritage. The sunlight turn the colour of the stone and the finishings in a super realistic image. You will be back in time in the age of conquisitadores. Authentic experience, do not miss this spot!

Revolution Square has great historical significance. Here you can see the image of Chegevara and the image of Chienfuegos on two different buildings. It is very spacious, in fact, there are no additional activities. But it is recommended to visit.

Revolution Square is a primary location to visit when you travel to Havana. It's got a huge space with a monument on the northern side. The wall murals of Che and Camilo are on the opposite side of the square. It is said that in the middle of the square, in the empty area, a million people can fit standing.

Nice plaza we stop on the car tour for some pictures and our driver took this incredible pictures for us .

The monuments are of Castro and Geuvara on the side of the buildings, just a parking lot distance from the Jose Marti monument. We saw both attractions while on a classic car ride in Havana.

Actually Revolution Square, is both a municipality and a square in Havana, Cuba. It is is situated in the Vedado neighborhood, overlooking the Malecón and offering great views of the sea and the city. It has been visited by many celebrities over the years. We enjoyed a stroll around plus the view.

Loved coming here this was a historical place in the history of cuba in this very spot many cubans have witnessed fidel castro do his speech which lasted over 7hrs. The area is a good place to stop and take a look around at the local buildings and famous landmarks. lots of the old classic cars stop here and this is a good place to see more of them in one place.

Massive square which want to celebrate the greatness of Cuba. There are several points of interest such as the monument to Jose Martin, considered the real father of Cuban people’s power. The wall to Camillo Cinfuegos and to Ernesto Che Guevara. The square has been gathered more than one million people during the speeches of Fidel Castro and also during the visit of Popes John Paul II in 1998 and Francis In 2015. For sure it deserves a visit.

Certainly worth a visit if you are interested in art. You can like this kind of “Cuban Picasso” art, but you don't have to. The vendors outside and the typical Cuban “pay to pee” are a little annoying. Plan 30 to 45 minutes for the look around. Definitely a nice change of pace.

An interesting part of Havana, just 30 minutes from the city center. It is very interestingly done, with a lot of various details. The ticket is only 100 Cuban pesos. A lot of small shops are also located here for the purchase of various souvenirs, paintings, sculptures.

Is it worth visiting? Yes it is . The validity of Picasso and Antoni Gaudi in the west part of Havana is extraordinary. For a hint, head west from the central park of Havana to the seemingly low-key district of Jaimanitas, where artist José Fuster has turned his birthplace and his neighborhood into a masterpiece of intricate tile work and kaleidoscopic colors . It looks a lot like Güell Park in Barcelona. He has embraced the environment and has made it his. Thanks for that...

Went here in 2019 as a part of a excursion tour and it was an amazing experience. I loved the art, the culture and everyone that we encountered were welcoming. My friend and I stopped to have some Cuban coffee at a shop set up in the middle of it. Great experience!

This place has been designed elegantly and worth to visit for 50 pesos. But would not takes more than 1 hour and I recommend to combine with aquarium. HAVE TAXI WITH YOU DURING THE VISIT AS YOU CAN NOT FIND TAXIS THERE. We stall 1 hour to take a taxi. There is a see food near by (Santy Pescador) which worth to visit.

A must do :) at 20 mins from Havana downtown. Super beautiful site to see if the artist Mr. Fuster. You a few to pay at the entrance and some artisanal shop beside the site with some beautiful paintings. They also provide you with a video in all the languages to explain the art.

What a pleasant surprise. Picasso and Gaudi influenced brilliant artist who expanded his skill throughout the neighborhood. Must see! Many local artists surround this house, selling their art too.

The Soroa Waterfall is a truly beautiful spot, surrounded by lush nature and a calm, relaxing environment. When I visited, the place was almost empty, which made the experience even more peaceful and enjoyable. The sound of the water and the scenery make it a perfect place to disconnect and appreciate nature. That being said, the walk from the road to the waterfall takes about 20–25 minutes, and the path is not in great condition. It has steep ups and downs, uneven steps, and areas that could be unsafe, especially for elderly visitors, children, or anyone with mobility difficulties. Improving and securing the trail would make the waterfall more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Overall, it’s a stunning natural attraction that is worth visiting, but there’s definitely room for improvement in the infrastructure.

Great place for an afternoon walk. You can even jump on the river to cool off. We visited in December and it was very quiet.

The landscape is absolutely amazing, the vegetation, mountains, rocks etc. You can even see some birds, some rarer then others, The river is beautiful, as is the whole area. But do not expect so much from the waterfall, it's not so big or imposing. Still worth the time spend and the quite big walk, in high humidity and temperatures! We went in July....

This waterfall can be reached by road and thereafter it is a short walk up to reach the different levels of lakes and falls. It is a nice relaxing place, and many people take a dip in the pools, although the water is rather fresh. To reach the Soroa falls, the short toad from Trinidad to the falls is closed, unfortunately. This means a long round away route needs to be taken to get to the falls

Just a short walk takes you to Majestic little waterfall. The spot is enjoyed by both the locals, and tourist a like. Long the hike you will find bars to buy both alcohol and food. There is a small fee to enter the waterfall area.

In April/May the waterfall had not so much to see because in dry season not that much water. But this lovely natural location is being spoiled by locals playing loud music, organizing BBQ. It is more a picnic area then a touristic sight seeing

I absolutly love Soroa. The waterfall is amazing and the water is great to freshen up. The place was clean. Great to take food and enjoy time with family. Great place to admire one of Cubas great natural tourism spots.

Beach is beautiful, lovely water. But to get here you have to get a ferry which is 35 CUC pp (35$ each approx) you get a nice lunch and a water or soft drink. You can spend the day here but it is expensive better stay in an airbnb nearby 10 min walk from the port (we stayed in villa gustavo y mary and it was ace!)

Good beach, good lunch, but unless you LOVE the beach, you might not like it. The photo is from snorkeling.

The Beach is great. Unfortunaltely the rooms are not as clean as expected and some of the facilities are decayed. I did not expect luxury rooms as in USA or Europe, but a clean floor, mold free rooms and clean towels is a minimum requirement to get good review. Despite the negative things the place is good to relax for a few days.

Beautiful beach and 'mangrove', dull food but choice is available, amazing walk to the punta arenas beach. The room's quality vary enormously from one to the other. The first one we got was smelling bad and looked very old. They changed it for a much nicer one when we asked. They have a broad range of activities which are not available every day (due to weather) so keep it in mind and do the ones you fancy as soon as possible.

We took day trip from Vinales for 39 CUC/per person(bus+boat+ packed lunch) it was worth it. Great beach, much more relaxed and chilled comparing to Cayo Jutias. Beach chairs included in the price

There have been thieves in our hotel room and the hotel staff thought we lie to them. They acted very inappropriate. After 1 full day of "police investigation" finally some our stuff appeared again.

Wonderful white sandy beach to get some rest and recreation. Hotel service could be more friendly
