Baracoa, Cuba is a beautiful place to take a relaxing or adventurous vacation. The land is situated right on the Bay of Honey, next to a magnificent mountain range. It's very secluded, and though the land is beautiful, it’s not exactly a big tourist location. This makes it an ideal vacation spot for those who want to get away from it all. The only problem is that sometimes finding lodging can be very difficult.

Because it’s not a mass tourist destination, the hotels are limited and far between. Prices across the board tend to stay close to each other, and you might have to book in advance to get the kind of accommodations you're looking for. Here are just a few examples of hotels in Baracoa.

Hotel Gaviota Villa Maguna
