Casa los Delfines

Cienfuegos


Right at the southern tip of Punta Gorda, Casa los Delfines (the dolphins) enjoys all of the benefits of this idyllic strip, backing directly onto the calm, shallow bay with the Sierra del Escambray beckoning in the distance. The two rooms with minibars are cozy and light-filled, not that you'll be spending much time in them in this setting. Cocktails on the terrace are obligatory.
