Melia Cuba’s Sol Pelícano, an all-inclusive resort on Cayo Largo del Sur, will be reopening its doors on November 1st, 2013 after completing a resort makeover. This four-star resort is ideal for families wishing to enjoy the natural wonders of this islet in the south-west of Cuba, right in the Caribbean Sea.
With 307 rooms, five restaurants and cafés, three bars, separate pools for adults and kids, mini-club, tennis courts and an extensive activity program, this hotel has it all for the perfect family vacation! There is also a water-sports centre for windsurfing, rowing, snorkeling and other activities in the clear, warm waters of this islet surrounded by fine sandy beaches (600 meters of them to be exact!!)
Sol Pelicano is a great option for families that want to learn more about the ecological aspects of Cuba. Did you know that Cayo Largo is the most important turtle reproduction site in Cuba and the 4th in the Caribbean? The animals arrive during the night to the beach where they spawn their eggs, away from the tide and predators.
They also offer several tours to choose from for anyone wanting a day off the beach! Try their Pueblo Tour, a bus excursion to Villa Isla del Sol, which includes a visit to the school, clinic, local marina and Los Quelonios turtle farm. Or try their Ecotour which offers the chance to discover the flora and fauna of Cayo Largo del Sur while walking along the nature trails. This tour also includes a visit to the Llana tree which is 500 years old.
Whatever you decide to do on your family vacation, Sol Pelicano is a fantastic option for your next family vacation!
