Yes, it was a Spanish Colony until the end of the Spanish American War.
...
Cuba was no longer a colony of Spain when Spain lost the Island to the United States of America in the war of 1898. Cuba had been granted a charter of autonomy by the Kingdom of Spain in 1897, which gave Cuba a status similar to the status granted by Britain to Canada. Neither the constitution of Canada nor that of Cuba could be modified without the agreement of the national parliament, which sat in London and Madrid respectively. The charter granted to Cuba by Spain could be annulled only by means of a referendum and a vote in the Cuban and Spanish parliaments. Porto Rico had also been granted autonomy, and Spain was not free to cede it either to the United States without a referendum and a favorable vote
in the Puerto Rican and Spanish parliaments, and without a further vote in the Spanish
Parliament authorizing the Crown to alienate Spanish territory. The Spanish Parliament did not in the event grant this authority, but the Crown proceeded to abandon its first two autonomous provinces of the Kingdom
claiming that alienating national territory in this case was legal, inasmuch as the King had the power under the constitution to conduct war.
The Kingdom repeated the mistake in 1975 when it allowed Morocco to occupy Spain's Sahara after the Green Farce organized by Morocco.
