This place is out on a limb - to get there you have to drive some 50km across a specially built causeway over an archipelago of islands, all flat and swampy. When you do arrive there is nothing else there but resort complexes like this one. As resort hotels go it leaves quite a lot to be desired. The rooms... More

This was a lottery we won. Or we thought most of the time. Check in: We usually sit back and allow most people to check in because, well frankly, we are tired and figure 'we are here, now we relax.'. We did see a few people having a time of it at the reception. " A room fit to stay... More

Sol Cayo Santa Maria is a great place to visit and explore but is well off the beaten Cuban track and takes a really long drive (about 90 minutes) to get there from the nearest airport. We made this drive very late at night and it took me a while to figure out why our bus was often stopping or... More

Spent 2 nights at this hotel all inclusive whilst on tour.Basically it is a beach resort as it is miles from anywhere. The accomodation is villa style and it depends on where you are allocated how good they are. Ours was rather dark as the french windows faced North out onto thick undergrowth. The room was clean and a decent... More

This resort has a fabulous beach, beautiful pools and lovely gardens (including a biologically-complete concrete bull!). The food was generally good, including the buffet restaurant. The a la carte Cuban restaurant was the exception which was quite disappointing. The a la carte Italian has a couple of strange dishes (cold roast beef in a tuna sauce!) but on the whole... More

This was my third trip to Cuba. I visited the Sol Cayo Santa Maria in May 2011 for one week. Distance from Airport This was a lengthy drive, but very scenic. About 1.5hrs (maybe longer) from the airport. I did not mind the drive. If it was an evening trip to the hotel, I imagine it would have been very... More

My wife and I have just returned from an amazing stay at the Sol Cayo Santa Maria for one week. We can't say enough about the beautiful hotel and BEACH!!!!!. The service from the maids, to the servers and gardeners was first class. Before we left home, we were quite anxious about the quality of the food, after reading some... More
