Playa Pesquera

Frommer's Review

This massive hotel is the largest in Cuba (although a Meliá property currently under construction elsewhere in Cuba is using the same blueprint). Your experience here begins with a fabulous open-air lobby with lily-pools, large sculptures, and several romantic sitting areas. The rooms are all in two-story blocks spread around the massive grounds ringing the large free-form pool, spa, and entertainment area. Rooms are all spacious and cheery, and all have a private balcony or porch. The superior rooms are really junior suites, and the extra space and sitting area is quite nice. This resort has a whole host of organized activities and entertainment options, as well as a broad selection of restaurants and bars. Of the a la carte restaurant options here, La Trattoria is particularly appealing, with a series of private dining gazebos spread around a small re-creation of Venice's canal system, replete with a real gondola. Be sure to reserve one of these in advance if you're looking for a romantic dinner.

Facilities: 6 restaurants; 2 snack bars; 6 bars; dance club; nightly show; massive outdoor pool; 3 lit outdoor tennis courts; fitness center; 4 Jacuzzis; sauna; watersports equipment; children's center and programs; game room; concierge; tour desk; car- and scooter-rental desk; salon; shopping arcade; massage; babysitting; laundry service.
