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!
