What this means for U.S. travelers
Segundo Frente is one of 431 properties on the State Department Cuba Prohibited Accommodations List as of June 2026. Santiago de Cuba alone has 9 CPAL-listed properties, including Brisas Los Galeones, Brisas Sierra Mar, Casa Granda and 5 others. Under §515.210 of the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, U.S. persons are prohibited from lodging at this property. 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.
