354353 5 Location 466047 <p>Breezes Jibacoa is an adults only resort located between Varadero and Havana.&nbsp; It is 30 minutes away from Havana so it is a great place to stay if you wish to explore outside of the resort and head into the city.&nbsp; Second time visitors might enjoy a change from Varadero as Jibacoa is more secluded and closer to nature.&nbsp; Breezes Jibacoa is the only resort in the entire surrounding area and is nestled in the Yumuri forest.&nbsp; If you are into the night life, I would not recommend this resort as when the lights go out, star gazing is your only form of entertainment asides from the short entertainment in the theatre.&nbsp;</p><p>The resort is not too large but offers all of the amenities.&nbsp; The rooms are laid out in 2 storey bungalows with very spacious rooms.&nbsp; The ocean is great for snorkelling as there is a coral reef a short distance from the shore.&nbsp; Unlike Varadero where the beaches&nbsp;an sea life have been trampled on, Jibacoa is rich in marine life from the shore.</p><p>A local guide takes you on morning hikes up the mountain where you can witness breath taking views of the surrounding ocean and forests.&nbsp; You can also visit a local farm and sample coconut and oranges.&nbsp; Another fun trip is the scooter right up the mountain to see the sunset. It is a bit scary but highly recommended.</p><p>When we were there, our daily visitors were the grazing bull that was hanging out in the parking lot and the chickens drinking from the pond.&nbsp; If you're up for a laid back stay and comfortable with&nbsp;a few stray animals, I would highly recommend this resort.</p> 2006-05-16T15:52:53-07:00 417333293 2003-11-07T16:00:00-08:00 0 -9223372036854775790 175819 1448915 354353 0 0.0195398985469283 2003-10-31T16:00:00-08:00 Published 25.0 2006-05-22T04:59:41-07:00 101288 0
