Hotel & Villas Soroa

Artemisa & Mayabeque Provinces


You can’t knock the setting of this place, nestled in a narrow valley amid stately trees and verdant hills, though you might wonder about the juxtaposition of these scattered block-like cabins against such a breathtaking natural backdrop. Isolated and tranquil, there are 80 renovation-craving rooms in a spacious complex just shouting-distance from the forest.

The cabins mingle with a huge pool (noisy in summer), a small shop and an ordinary restaurant. Elsewhere on the campus there's a disco and an office where you can arrange and pay for numerous activities, including hiking and birdwatching.
