Hotel Costa Morena

Santiago de Cuba Province


Partly renovated, this longtime hotel has attractive architecture and a large terrace with pool right on the cliffs but no direct beach access. There is good sea swimming, with protection afforded by a reef. A shuttle takes guests to the beach at Club Amigo Carisol – Los Corales, at Sigua, 44km southeast of Santiago de Cuba.
