Guanabo- Playa Este
A quiet vacation in a peaceful seaside village.
Experience the Other Cuba,

of Havana!

Guanabo is in Playa Este, just 20 minutes from Downtown
Havana. It is peaceful, safe and near the nicest beaches in Cuba-
Santa Maria, Bacuranao and Playa Guanabo. Take a leisurely walk
through town to the local beach or catch one of those great taxis to Playa
Santa Maria minutes away. Imagine a Brazilian beach on the Italian
Riviera. Choose from 7 km of white sand beach... Home to the Shore...10
minutes!
