Nice long quiet beach.

Um....can't think of ANY...
In a nutshell
you have to see it to believe it!
tim07 Says: Playa Sirena is 2.3 km long, the beach is sheltered & the sea was calm. As the afternoon temperature was in the 30's, I spent a lot of my time here in the shade under a palm tree. There is one main restaurant & bar here, although a couple of shacks on the beach sold drinks....
tim07 Says: Just off Cayo Largo the sea is so shallow due to the reefs & high sand dunes that a natural swimming pool has been formed.Standing in the clear warm sea with the blue sky above was a truly unforgettable experience. We were the the only boat there at the time & it felt just...
tim07 Says: A boat trip to snorkel in the coral reefs off Cayo Largo is an unforgettable experience.
tim07 Says: There are boat trips available here to take you around the Island & to scuba diving & fishing sites. These can be booked at the marina & fishing equipment can be hired too. At the marina there is a small bar which sells snacks as well drinks, an ideal place to sit & relax...
tim07 Says: This was the first stop on a catamaran cruise from the marina. It is a tiny island inhabited by iguanas, you can walk around and take photos of them. Seeing traces of litter on the island combined with someone trying to feed one a sandwich made me think perhaps it may be...
Greggor58 Says: Take a look....different types of turtles...at least at the time that I was last there...They were in different sizes of concrete "ponds"....and graduated to larger ones as they matured...then released....or eaten.. : o [
Greggor58 Says: This man was more than happy to spend a break chattin with my girl that I was travelling with ...SteffiSee the "travelogue" and Ill tell you a little about the Nursery....there's more than meets the eye here.
Greggor58 Says: We had a blast buzzing around the few roads that were paved....great way to see the Island.Ther was a dirt trail that extended past the hotel area and continued along the shoreline...above the beach...we drove along kms of untouched and solitary beach...
dabuwan Says: Besides walking on the beach or drinking cocktails at the resort bars, the only spot is the disco-club in the old airport building. Nothing special, but it's open every evening.You can reach it by bus from your resort.
WWII Airplane yo get to Cayo Largo
Clang Says: These are the planes you need to take to get to Cayo Largo. Really old and rusty. Quite an adventure by itself.
tim07 Says: Flew by an internal flight from Havana to Cayo Largo, the flight took 35 mins. The airport is small but well laid out and easy to arrive & depart from. On arrival there is a small baggage claim area, we were greeted by a band & dancers. There is transport to take you to the...
dabuwan Says: Cubita is the national brand of coffee.It is excellent if you drink it freshly made in Cuba, but forget the tourist boxes with instant soluble Cubita coffee that you find in the tourist shops. They are cheap and the box is a nice souvenir, but the coffee is nothing special.
dabuwan Says: Rum is the national drink in Cuba. It is good, cheap and available everywhere.Between the aged rums, the one I liked the most is Relicario, a cuban brand that is very difficult to find outside Cuba.I paid 5 US$ for a bottle, but local people pay much less for it.
mwe Says: Note the towel sculptures. This is a general thing in Cuba, not just at Villas Iguana, Cayo Largo.The radio picked up US stations from Florida Keys, including WPIK (country) and WWUS (US-1).The television got satellite channels like VH-1 and US evangelical channels. ...All...
jfly Says: There is now a complete Do it Yourself fishing Ban on Cayo Largo.There have been reports of harassment, equipment confiscation and fines for people caught fishing from shore.The culprit is the Avalon Fishing Club who has bought exclusive fishing rights to the whole area.You...
mwe Says: Cayo Largo is plagued by aggressive mosquitos in the evenings: COVER UP!...The Cubans 'fumigated' the place daily around dusk with devices like chainsaws, or those things gardeners use to blow things away, emitting a kind of smoke, which I believe was DDT.Exposed skin will...
googoosh Says: When we went the guy running the place hadn't seen anyone all day. OK so keeping turtles in small swimming pools is not ideal .... but this guy genuinely loved his turtles and was putting them back in the ocean. It felt like a good place to be.

BarbieGirl Says: Leaving the airport of Varadero for Cayo Largo...all you need is a bit of courage and your passport!With a 30 minutes of flight youìll join a real paradise.....even if these airplanes are a little bit old.....we took a russian airplane of the II world war......anyway people...
Choose the right beach for kids
dabuwan Says: Not all Cayo Largo beaches are suitable for young kids. The beach in the resorts area is not. Playa Paraiso & Playa Sirena are the best choice. My 3 yo old daughter enjoyed playing in the water all day.

Don't be confused by the name: Cayo Largo del Sur is not a part of Cayo Largo, it's the island's official name, thus avoiding confusion with a town on mainland Cuba called Cayo Largo. The Cuban...

Sun, sand and sea is really everything I can tell. Can be boring after few days, so just go there for a day trip from Havana or Varadero. Price is 180 EUR (all inclusive - flight, food, drinks).
