Baracoa’s name is aboriginal and means "land of waters", but this is also a land of cacao, coconuts and minerals. The area has interesting traditions, history and legends.

Petersfield, UK, Rating: 5 of 5, Date: May 2008
This hotel is small and personal, the view is simply erotic, the food, especially breakfast, is fresh and healthy, and the tortillas/fruit are superb. Access to town is a very short hilly experience, which I actually enjoyed every time, knowing that this wee hike up the hill gave me the cool evening air breezes, the fabulous views and the feeling of exclusivity. Best of all are the team members, the receptionists, the waiters and waitresses, the cleaning staff, the gardener, the security guys, the cooks, the Maitre 'd' and the accountant....all and without exception. In my invigorating time there, I got to know that the people and the hotel. In my view, the service the product and the amazing people, combined with the town and it's "lost in time" feeling, make El Castillo one of Cuba's best kept secrets.
