Sue’s Reviews

Location:  Santa Clara, Cuba

Hotel:  Melia Cayo Santa Maria 

Date Visited: November 22 – 29, 2004

Price Paid:  $512.00 each plus tax. What a bargain!  Booked 16 days before departure.

Room#:  1612 – ground floor, good location, large rooms, but with a poor view.  I would request a second floor room next time.  The rooms were huge with a front foyer supplied with an umbrella (excellent idea), separate washroom and sink area.

Weather Conditions:  85 degrees every day (with the exception of one cloudy day).

Restaurants:  Food was okay.  They did provide a lobster dinner one evening which was good.

Snorkeling:  Could find no area to snorkel at this resort.

Beach:  Phenomenal! Crystal clear ocean water.  Bonus there were lifeguards actually stationed on this beach.   One draw back – no beach bar in November when we were there, but it was low season.

Opinions/Tips:  Food was so-so.  They did have a lobster night and it was good.   Nightly entertainment was excellent, very talented dancers.  Sister hotel next door, Sol Club had a fun disco.

Would I Return:  For Sure!
