Siboney's only real dining option serves no-frills comida criolla (Creole food) with friendly service and good beach views. It's in the former house of musical-sage-turned-international-icon Francisco Repilado, aka Compay Segundo, the man responsible for writing the immortal song 'Chan Chan,' which visitors hear on repeat across Cuba.
Born in a small shack by this site in 1907, Compay Segundo shot to superstardom at the age of 90 as the guitarist/winking joker in Ry Cooder's Buena Vista Social Club.
