Sol Cayo Largo

This is an animated and, at the same time, romantic all-inclusive resort set amid rolling dunes and limestone outcroppings bordering a stretch of Cayo Largo's fabulous Lindamar beach. The two-story blocks of rooms are done in a Cape Cod style, with faux stressed paint that gives the place a worn and lived-in feel. The rooms are quite spacious and comfortable, with either one king- or two queen-size beds and a private balcony or terrace. I think it's worth the CUC$20 (US$22/£11) supplement for one of the 60 oceanview standard rooms. All of these are located on the second floor and come with some added amenities, including a little nightstand CD player, stocked minibar, and -- my favorite feature -- an inviting, siesta-inducing, Yucatán hammock strung on the balcony. The junior suites come with a connecting sitting room and an extra TV.

Facilities: 5 restaurants; 4 bars; dance club; large free-form outdoor pool; 2 lit outdoor tennis courts; well-equipped health club; nonmotorized watersports equipment; children's programs; game room; concierge; tour and activities desk; car- and scooter-rental desk; salon; massage; babysitting; laundry service.
