Cayo Santa Maria.

By Jose Mauricio


Are you searching for the best Cuba holidays you can get? According to government statistics Melia Las Dunas Hotel in Cayo Santa Maria has become the number one option when it comes to family holidays to Cuba.

This resort is huge - with over 900 rooms - is the biggest hotel in the central part of Cuba. There are 5 restaurants of which one serves buffet services and the others are a la carte restaurants. The swimming pools are large and divided into areas for adults and kids.

The journey to this hotel can be long if you are coming from Havana by road. It takes approximately 5 hours. There are 2 flights from Havana every day and it only takes 50 to reach the island. There is an international airport in Santa Clara and some tour operators sell flights direct to Cayo Santa Maria including an hour transfer from Santa Clara airport.

There are only three hotels in this island and a few projects on their early stage. Cayo Santa Maria is still one of the least spoilt beach areas in Cuba. If you are looking for a quiet resort then Cayo Santa Maria is probably your best option.

The food offer is not bad considering the standards of Cuban Cuisine. This hotel is managed by the Spanish Hotel Chain 'Sol Melia Hotels' and their standards of service are higher than hotels managed by the Cuban Government. You can enjoy dishes from every corner of the world. Vegetables and fruit are seasonable and always fresh.

For those travelling with kids there is plenty of entertainment available everyday by the kids swimming pool and a show for children is held every other night at the kids club. If there are toddlers in your family the kids club will look after them free of charge if you wish to spend some time on your own.
