Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Cayo Levisa

This quiet, castaway-island resort is devoted to diving and snorkeling. Rooms, in wooden bungalows facing the beach, are modest and decorated motel-style, with air-conditioning and ceiling fans. More important, every room has a veranda with ocean views and breezes. The restaurant ($) serves passable Cuban specialties, fresh-caught lobster and pargo (red snapper) foremost among them. The bar is a lively spot after hours, and in the true castaway spirit you'll meet all of your fellow guests; Spain and Italy are especially well represented in summer. This is a good place if what you're seeking is sun, sea, diving, and snorkeling.
