Just outside both Playa Ancon & Trinidad, Costa Sur sits above a cove with a caramel-coloured beach & crystal clear waters, populated by fascinating tropical marine life. There is a real peaceful ambience about this place, from the picturesque beach to the distant magnificence of the Sierra Escambray Mountains.
Costa Sur is a medium-sized resort with everything within easy reach. It has undergone extensive recent renovation &, while you may find some areas still in need of TLC, the grounds & communal areas are clean & well maintained. There is a main swimming pool & separate paddling pool for children, with other activities including tennis, volleyball, a health spa & non-motorised beach watersports. The beach is also private so you can relax & enjoy the sun in peace, though snorkelling is recommended.
Apart from the magnificent location, your abiding memory of Costa Sur hotel will be its attentive, friendly & very helpful staff, who put great effort into a fun range of daytime activities & evening shows. The hotel’s 3 bars (lobby, pool & beach) serve excellent cocktails, while the nightlife of Trinidad is just a short taxi ride away. Costa Sur’s buffet & a la carte restaurants provide both variety & good quality food, while there is also a snack bar. Guests can also choose to eat outside & enjoy the stunning views from the a la carte restaurant’s patio.

Plaza Mayor, in the Historical Centre of Trinidad, is considered the second most significant square in the country, after Cathedral Square in Havana. This square captivates everybody for the Terpsichore sculpture, the dance muse, the white railings with delicate filigrees, the elegant Royal Palms trees and two greyhound guardians. It was restored by the inhabitants, and became the main place for religious processions, patron saint festivities, promenades and commerce. This delightful square is surrounded of colonial buildings: Iglesia Parroquial de la Santísima Trinidad; the Palace of Count Brunet (now the Romantic Museum); the Museum of Archeology Guamuhaya (former Casa de Padrón); the Museum of Colonial Architecture (former Sanchez Iznaga residence).
Although the city's cathedral was consecrated in 1892, the building took the better part of the 19th century to complete (it was built to replace the 17th-century church that was destroyed by a hurricane). The structure shows a neoclassic architectural style. Its interesting interior is replete with a dozen hardwood altars that date from the early 20th century and various colonial icons. Besides it preserves the famous Christ of Vera Cruz, and an altar – the only one of this kind in Cuba devoted to the Virgin of Mercy.
Located a block to the north of the Plaza Mayor in a former convent is the Museo Nacional de Lucha Contra Bandidos (National Museum of the Struggle against Counter-Revolutionaries). The museum exhibits documents the campaign to weed out rebels who hid in the Escambray mountains in the 1960s.
