"The most beautiful land I have ever seen", was how Christopher Columbus described Cuba as he landed near what is now Guardalavaca in 1492. Today, visitors are still saying the same thing about the place, which is widely regarded as the prettiest part of Cuba.
Luxurious hotels offer a range of activities and water-sports or you can simply relax on long stretches of sand.
