Playa Blanca Hotel Overview
Formerly known as the Barcelo Cayo Largo and now under the management of the Cuban Gran Caribe family, the Playa Blanca Hotel enjoys a unique, isolated location at Cuba's pristine Cayo Largo key, also known as the jewel of The Canarreos.
Offering guests with beaches that extended for 24 Km the Playa Blanca hotel has excellent conditions for outdoors recreation, desert-island exploring, swimming with the dolphins and waste precious hours away gazing into the glistening horizon from your beach chaise lounge.
The place to enjoy nature in its most virginal and pure state, the Playa Blanca Hotel is one of the few resorts located in the inhabited island of Cayo Largo, offering guests and visitors with the opportunity to enjoy superb nautical sports in the most pristine condition, explore fabulous marine life and fauna including turtles, iguanas, seagulls and pelicans and discover a hidden paradise far away from all your daily troubles.
Best suited for relaxing holidays for guests that want a quiet time away from it all, this hotel will appeal to nature lovers, honeymooners seeking a romance and seclusion, older couples and scuba diving enthusiasts, as the key is home to a wide variety of impressive diving sites, coral reefs and walls.
This four-star all inclusive resort offers great value accommodation in Cayo Largo with great facilities for couples, families and children of all ages. Although Cayo Largo is very quiet and not the best place in Cuba to go for active, fun-filled holidays and nightlife, lively entertainment is provided at night with coreographed danced and fun shows.
Whether you want a escapist holiday 'au naturelle' trailing through tropical foliage or you want to explore the wonders of the area's untouched waters, the Playa Blanca Hotel provides guests with the opportunity of either renting a jeep or a scooter for a day to drive through the island or a certified team of PADI divers to take you on unforgettable scuba diving excursions in Cayo Largo.
