Awards & Reviews

This four-star establishment has views of one of the most beautiful beaches in eastern Cuba near to where Christopher Columbus disembarked in 1492 declaring the area "the most beautiful land that human eyes have seen." Brisas Guardalavaca offers a complete range of all-inclusive services at a very reasonable price. From here, guests can explore the sites of Chorro de Maíta and Aldea Taína which are 10 kilometers away.

You can also visit the Bahía de Naranjo Natural Aquarium and the Bariay Park Monument (where Christoper Columbus actually disembarked) or simply enjoy the facilities offered by the hotel.
