Rancho Luna + Milpas, 9 casas here
By far the most water-oriented city on the island (puerto, punta, bahia, canal, ferry), it is the only Cuban city founded by French colonials from Bordeaux, Philadelphia and Louisiana, the city was first located at the point on the bay of Jagua, by Don Luis de Clouet as an outpost in 1829 and a city in 1880.

Its huge bay,
Bahia de Jagua, is a sight to behold : 88 sq km (19 km long x 7 wide). It reaches the open sea through a 3,6 km-long sinuous canal which passes by Castillo de Jagua and Pasacaballo to end before Punta Gavilan. The bay named Jagua, is the most important local natural resource. The entire economic and social life of the region revolves around it, and it has influenced local traditions, customs, and legends since the nineteenth century.

The shoreline and its attendant activities (such as fishing, beach activities, and scuba diving) are
deeply rooted in Cienfuegos culture. The twice-daily tide allows fishermen to catch enough crustaceans to offer meals (albeit illegal) in Castillo de Jagua and its small pueblo called El Perché.

Refuge of pirates during the 17th century, (Drake, de Sores, Bruce, Morgan, Craff), the rivers Caunao, Salado, Damují and Arimao flow to the bay, with Arimao wide enough to be called a lake and Guanaroca now a protected area.

"
Pearl of the South" (Perla del Sur), its prodigal son, mambo music legend, known as El Barbaro del Ritmo, Benny Moré called it simply "the town I like the most". So do a lot of visitors.

Streets are easy to locate in its square plan and the historical, cultural and architectural treasures of its old town in the centre and on
Punta Gorda are now a National Monument as well as — since Spring 05 — a UNESCO World Heritage Site, well worth a stay.

PLAYA OR PISCINA
If you're staying in town centre and want to swim, take a (horse-drawn is better) cab all the way to the very end of Punta Gorda. There, the lovely small park has a tiny (20-foot wide) playa where you can dip in. In town, Hotel La Union will charge you to spend the day by the pool. So will the pool by the Jagua Hotel, full day for 7€/$US including drinks or food or from 2 to 6 pm for a 3 €/$US fee, nothing included. Bring ear plugs against loud reggaeton music, Cuba's deafening plague.

The best long beach in the area is spread along the
Rancho Luna hotel and resort some 20km from center (hotel shuttle busses from town); although not the finest sand beach (kinda grainy); along with Playa Arimao (500 m east, mostly deserted) it's the best you'll get near town. As elsewhere on the island, the beaches are not limited to guests as all playas are public in Cuba ;- ) Some casas very near those two beaches can be found below, here.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
::: Since January 2021, the CUC (Cuban Convertible) currency no longer is valid; all tourist services are payable only in foreign currency, cash or credit card. ::: Bring cash Euros or US dollar$, etc because Cuban banks and Foreign Exchange Bureaus (CADECA) will only exchange your currency (CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, JPY, MXN, USD) for the local currency - the CUP (US$1 = 24 CUP) which might be useful for local stuff; get other details here. ::: Make sure that in your first email or phone call you specify that you want to book a room in that particular casa and that you will reconfirm your booking on arrival in Cuba::: So as to not abandon expecting owners with empty rooms, reconfirm (or call ahead to cancel) your booking by phone as soon as you can after arriving in Cuba ::: Please write or phone a casa owner to cancel a booking. As late as it may seem, it allows them a chance to rebook. ::: Children under the age of 16 may share a bedroom with adults for free. Specify the child's age when booking. ::: At the end of the casa name, the V signals the casa was suggested by travelers or owners but not verified by us in person. If you try it and like it, write us about it. ::: Unless otherwise mentioned, the average room rates and service prices are : 25-30
€/US$ per bedroom per night [up to 40€/US$+ for 4 in a room]; breakfasts 3-5€/US$, dinners 8-15€/US$. ::: Any casa particular anywhere in Cuba must have a hot water shower, otherwise it cannot have a permit to rent ::: Please share your Complaints, comments & suggestions webmaster [@]cubacasas.net

The bay of Cienfuegos is nearly landlocked, being what is called a 'pocket bay', with a surface area of 88.46 km2, a shoreline of 100 km, and a total volume of 1.84 km3. It is 19 km long and 7.5 km at its widest point, with an average depth of roughly 9.5 m. Nature has divided it into two basins separated by a shoal (Las Cuevas) with an average depth of 1.5 m. This greatly influences water circulation within the ecosystem.

The access channel is narrow and tortuous, being 3.6 km long and between 30 and 50 m deep toward the middle. Its geography imposes limits on navigation because it forms a canyon containing coral reefs along with steeply eroded cliffs. Within the bay, there are 50 promontories and 20 coves or inlets, three of which are used as shelter for small and mid-sized vessels during high winds.

The most important coastal formations of the bay include rocky and sandy beaches, mangrove forests, marl deposits, sea grape groves, coastal scrubland (manigua), and dry bush. Vegetation is degraded in the eastern sector. The bay is dotted with 14 small islands or cays, the largest of which are Cayo Carenas, Cayo Ocampo and Cayo Alcatraz - Source: León et al. 2001 in IDRC-CRDI Canada
