During our stay at this resort with the exception of the "No see ems( sand flies), which usually dine after dusk one could not ask for more. So bring some "Off" insect repellent. The weather was mid 30's and mostly sunny for 5 out of the 7days with low humidity. The excellent layout of the bungalows and the length of... more

We just got back from our 2nd visit there and had a wonderful time. Even though there was a mix-up with Air Canada about our room and free services, the staff, especially our concierge, Angel went to bat for us and we got everything that we expected and even some bonus things. The people there are very friendly and will... more

7 Glorious days of sunny 30 degree weather last week. Believe the good reviews....And take the advice mentioned by some reviews. Bring your thermal cup, and aqua shoes if you plan to snorkel.

My Mom and I just came back from this hotel - Occidental Royal Hideaway Ensenachos in Santa Clara, Cuba - on Nov 13, 2009.

There are only... more

The ride to the resort: It was long, 1.5 hours if not a little longer, luckily, ours was the first resort on the cayos. The lobby was huge and we walked... more

We went in Low season to this place and loved it! Even got to talk to the General Manager of the property (who is from Canada). We had the big pool to ourselves all day. No bumping into anyone on your flootie! Got to see the Bungelow's on the property and would definitely recommend those (private pool, private restaurant). Spa... more
