If the detainees home countries refuse to take them now, why would they suddenly agree when Cuba offers? I mean, at least the US can do some horsetrading on this issue (which it seems to have), but Cuba is much poorer and has a lot less to offer.
It seems like the most likely outcome is that the detainees end up as Cuban prisoners.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend so anyone not willing to deal with the USA because we're, well, the USA, would bend over backwards to cooperate with Cuba. Cuba has a moderately good international rep. They don't get involved in too much international empire building once the Soviets broke up, and they export good doctors to the 3rd world. And they're an enemy of the greatest current Imperial power. I think they'd do pretty well..
