Hotels of Cayo Largo, Cuba

Red circles are clickable.

There are presently in Cayo Largo two hotel groups: Gran Caribe (5 hotels) and Sol Meliá (2 hotels). All hotels have direct access to the beach (sometimes a few stairs down, no facility to access the beach in wheelchair). The hotels are all located on the south coast of the island. The north is made of marshes and mangroves.

They are all located within 5 km in the beach sector called Playa Lindamar. The hotels are 10 minutes by bus from the airport, and about 15 minutes from the village & marina.

All hotels offer an all-inclusive package « meals, drinks, activities, entertainment, non motorized water sports, etc » and they all have carts for transporting tourists and luggages to the rooms.

Please note water sports offered by the hotels are now in Playa Sirena (beautiful beach located in the western sector).

Sol Meliá hotels (Spanish administration)

---

The two hotels at the west-end of the hotel zone, the Sol Cayo Largo and the Sol Pelicano, are both administered by Sol Meliá.

The Sol Pelicano which used to be a Gran Caribe hotel was completely renovated and reopened on December 15th 2002 as a Sol Meliá hotel.

Up to May 2007, there was an Italian club « Bravo Club » which has left the Sol Pelicano for a new destination (Africa). It has been replaced by « Venta club ».

Venta Club has left Sol Pelicano late in 2009. Presently there is no Italian club at the Sol Pelicano, but just a regular tour operator (Press Tour) who has a contract of about 80 rooms.

These two hotels are both all-inclusive but do not share services.
