Beautiful resort on the stunning white-sand beach of Cayo Santa Maria on Cuba's north coast.

Cayo Santa Maria has some of the best fine white sand in the Caribbean, and the beach at the all-inclusive Hotel Royalton is no exception. Lapped by calm, crystal clear waters, it offers a first-class resort-style experience.

With well-furnished Caribbean-style cottages scattered throughout the gardens, this award-winning adults-only hotel is luxurious by Cuban standards. Air-conditioned rooms and suites enjoy ocean, pool or garden views and have rainmaker showers, TVs, coffee-makers and a balcony or terrace.

Catering only for adults, the property manages to combine an ambience of relaxation while providing low-key live entertainment and sports facilities. There are two pools and the larger, free-form pool is stunning.

Other facilities include a spa (extra charges) and large fitness room. Non-motorised watersports including kayaks, windsurfing and catamarans are free of charge, and you can also use the facilities including tennis courts at the nearby Memories Hotel, with prior reservation. Cocktails flow freely from the bars, while meal options include regular barbecues.
