Playa Prohibida

The food at this beach is excellent, with a plate costing $25 that includes a Lobster Tail, shrimp, and fish. It's truly a delightful experience. Additionally, you'll love the beautiful sunset view. The cab ride from Memories Flamenco costs $35, which includes the return fare. It feels like a 15-20 minute ride. The driver waits for you while you dine at the restaurant. If you have an extra license plate, bring it along as they enjoy collecting and hanging them on the wall.

If there was a rating of 4.5, this beach would have definitely received it. I was pleasantly surprised because most things are usually overrated. The greeting, atmosphere, and overall setting were very good. I've heard that the sunset there is amazing. When I arrived, I was greeted at the front door and given the option to choose my seating. I also enjoyed a cold beer while walking around and taking a few pictures of the great view. When I was ready, I placed my order without feeling rushed. There were quite a few other guests, but it didn't affect the service. The presentation of the food was great. The grilled lobster was cooked perfectly, the shrimp and white fish fillet were delicious, and the veggies and rice complemented the meal well. It was a bit pricey at $35, but it was a special treat for my vacation. Each beer was $5, which was reasonable. I do want to mention that there were some reports of a dirty washroom, but I personally used it twice and didn't find any issues. There is a flush water bucket for the toilet, which may seem unusual, but it's not a big deal. The beach is right there, so the water is filled up by an employee. There were also reports of no toilet paper, but that is false. As for hand sanitizer, if it was important to me, I would have brought my own, which I did. Oh, and there is plenty of sanitizer available at the front entry if you keep your eyes open. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth the money and the $35 cab fare (round trip) from Playa Paraiso, for example. Cheers, Dan

Lenny's was a fantastic spot to enjoy a few drinks and catch the breathtaking sunset. The scenery was absolutely stunning, with a lovely pathway leading to some rocks. Although we didn't have a meal there due to the lack of vegetarian choices, the aroma of the food was enticing. I would definitely suggest visiting Lenny's if you're seeking a seafood dinner away from the resort.

You won't find a better meal in Cuba than this. They serve fresh seafood cooked over a wood fire at a very reasonable price. The view is absolutely stunning and adds a whole new dimension to the experience. When my family and I visited, we were the only ones there, which seems to be quite common. The service is excellent and if I ever get the opportunity to go back, I would do it without hesitation.

The location, atmosphere, food, and staff at this beach are absolutely fantastic. There are no buildings in sight, just beautiful land and ocean on both sides, creating a calming and relaxing environment. I highly recommend trying the lobster seafood dish, which is absolutely incredible and priced at $20 US or $25 CND. During our visit, we had the pleasure of meeting Lenny, who can be seen in one of the attached pictures. It's quite amusing because Lenny doesn't actually own or work at this place; he just visits frequently, so now it's even named after him. If you're willing to spend $40 US on a taxi, I definitely recommend making the trip to Lenny's. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. In fact, it might even be the highlight of your vacation.
