Rancho Luna Beach
The Playa Rancho Luna is one for beach lovers. This leading resort is a short drive south of Cienfuegos and is the best beach in the area, while also down this way is the Delfinario dolphin attraction and Jagua Castle (Castillo de Jagua). Further south again is the beautiful Gran Parque Natural Topes de Collantes. Of note, both Trinidad and Santa Clara are popular nearby towns within easy driving distance.

“Not a typical Cuban beach ”
I didn't dare swim in the ocean ... rocky beaches, sea urchins everywhere, seaweed ... The beach is not even 1km long so don't expect to take long endless walks.

“Lovely sand and waters ”
a lovely little beach usually very quiet. Its a short walk from Rancho Luna hotel and a nice way to get some fitness and then cool off with a swim. It has a beach bar where you can get ice cold cervesas. It is what I picture when I close my eyes and visualize a beach. Ahhhhhh

“Okay beach, not the best ”
Went in November and it was quiet. Was with my girlfriend and there was a group of 20 something year old lads who were playing drinking games and they kept walking past out stuff when we were in the sea. prob me freaking out but i found it hard to relax. Okay beach to kill a few hours

“Average beach ”
The beach is located ca. 10 kms from Cienfuegos. It is the closest beach to the city. You can reach by taxi, we paid 5 CUC for one way. Shadow, sunbeds (2CUC) and bars available. There are better beaches in Cuba, but it is a good place to relax.

“Good place to stay for a day ”
not big but cosy - stay in Saltemar or smth like that, on the hill, just beside the sea. Extremely nice hostess.

“noisy, crowded, littered - but relaxing ”
we were there on a weekend. the beach was crowded with families and screaming kids. It's not beautiful, has a lot of seaweed and the food was poor (a common thing in Cuba). Still, we found a spot to lay down and doze - that was good. Cuba has MUCH better beaches to offer. Don't waste your time going there.

“beach ”
the public beach was large with clean sand , many places to sit and enjoy a cerveza . The resort end of the beach was a disaster and tourists need shoes to walk on it and the public beach was much safer for tourists .

“Fun but food is bad ”
I spent the day at a hotel with my boyfriend's family. They had a lot of attractions, a nice pool, kayak and water bikes included. However, the food was horrible.

“Fine for a day by the beach if in Cienfuegos ”
Not a patch on the northern coast beaches but nice sand, warm water, various food stalls (moneda nacional) and bars (CUC) and good for a day out if in Cienfuegos. 5 mins from Delfinario

“An Interesting Place! ”
Visit at the weekend and mingle with the Cubans, make sure you have the local Pesos to buy food and drink, Cuc's are no good, or you will pay far too much. we ate and drank like kings for the day for under £2! The Cubans start drinking their rum very early and carry on all day, when it becomes... More
