What this means for U.S. travelers
Because Effective July 14, 2025 is on the State Department Cuba Prohibited Accommodations List, U.S. persons are prohibited from lodging at this property under §515.210 of the Cuban Assets Control Regulations. The prohibition follows the U.S. person, not the booking channel — booking through Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, or a Cuban or third-country travel agent does not change the answer.
The CPAL is separate from both the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and the State Department Cuba Restricted List (CRL, §515.209). A property may appear on CPAL because its operator is on the CRL or SDN, but the lists are structurally distinct and U.S. travelers and their compliance teams should check all three.
