Fodor's Expert Review Iberostar Ensenachos

Ciego de Ávila, Cuba Fodor's Choice

Located on a small island adjacent to Cayo Coco, this is the most upscale and private of the area's resorts. Lobby features Italian marble floors and original contemporary and classical paintings. The registration desk is a closed, air-conditioned portico; even the bar here is air-conditioned, a luxury that very few resorts offer. Harmless iguanas roam the property, and the winding landscape is beautifully manicured. The resort has four à la carte restaurants and one buffet. A full-service spa offers a host of massages, thermal pools, Turkish baths, and a hair salon. Service here is the key, and a staff member is assigned to each bungalow complex to answer to the personal needs of guests. The Royal Suite villas are set apart from the rest of the resort and have their own private fine-dining restaurant.

PROS

  • the rooms here are superb, meeting international standards
  • more luxurious than competing hotels

CONS
