If you are looking for that perfect soft white sand beach with just the right amount of breeze, you may want to pay a visit to Cayo Largo, Cuba. This tiny island is still very natural and unspoiled. One of the most important breeding site for turtles in Cuba, visitors find 25 km of beach, pelicans and starfish on nearby Playa Sirena and many other wonders of nature still very much alive and thriving. For accommodations, try one of these all-inclusive resorts to pamper yourself and relax for a week. All hotels listed are only 10 minutes from the airport, and about 15 minutes from the village and marina.
U.S. citizens should be aware that tourist travel to Cuba is forbidden for U.S. citizens, and the U.S. State Department says "Cuba is a totalitarian police state which relies on repressive methods to maintain control."
