The Palacio is stunning in every way--the Moorish arches, the frothy arabesques covering the walls, the rooftop bar with unparalleled views of the bay. It’s unfortunate that on the same property a concrete multi-story box of a hotel blocks any view you might have had of the town of Cienfuegos. But don't let that deter you from visiting the pink jewel on the Punta.

Great way to spend your time without spending a lot of money. Take a pleasant lazy stroll past all of the gorgeous Gallic palaces to the peninsula. "La Punta" the park at the tip of the peninsula is a great place to grab a dink and enjoy the water, also open very late.

The Malecon has a long walkway on the edge of bay. The view of the bay in the afternoon is truly romantic. Was a nice quiet walk. We bought some drinks and hung out in Malecon. In Cienfuegos it is allowed to drink in streets! Bonus!! We then walked down a street filled with art and many vendors of many different crafts of Cuba artists. Loved it!
