Playa Yuraguanal

9 Nayo Cat

Although the service and food were decent, the hotel itself was quite disappointing. However, the beach was absolutely stunning and made up for any shortcomings in the accommodations. The crystal clear water and soft sand were a dream to relax on and the views were simply breathtaking. I would highly recommend visiting this beach for a truly unforgettable experience.

10 The Cambridge Horticulturist.

The beach boasts a breathtaking underwater seascape, and to top it off, the sand is fine and white. It's a natural wonder that is definitely worth a visit for any beach lover.

Playa Bani

9 Catalina Ishikawa

For over a decade, our family has been returning to this breathtaking beach destination. It's a haven for children with its shallow entrance and reliable safety measures. Whether you're gazing out from the water or lounging on the shore, the view is simply stunning. Just a word of caution, about 7 meters from the shore, watch your step in the grass to avoid the prickly sea urchin. Thankfully, the coral reefs protect the shore from waves, making it a perfect spot for swimming and exploring the diverse ocean life. It's quite a sight to see fish follow us around, and while some people feed them, we prefer to offer them a healthy snack. Overall, this beach is a true gem and a must-visit for anyone in the Holguin area. #cubaswimming #holguin #kidssafe
