Fodor's Expert Review Sol Pelícano

Cayo Largo, Isla de la Juventud, Cuba

In some ways, this rambling complex of pseudo-colonial-style, concrete bungalows and outbuildings epitomizes all that's wrong with Cayo Largo's tourism program: it lacks any authentic local character. The landscape is scrubby but the beach facing this spot is a cut above those farther east, and all the rooms are arranged around the pool. The Sol Pelícano does offer every imaginable activity, from basketball to diving to windsurfing, and there's also a kids' club.

PROS

  • among the prime family properties on Cayo Largo

CONS

  • lacks the charm of remoteness in the winding, chunky complex
