Fodor's Expert Review Paradisus Río de Oro Resort & Spa

Carretera Holguín–Guardalavaca, Guardalavaca, Holguín, 82300, Cuba Fodor's Choice

Located on the Bahía de Naranjo inlet 3 km (2 miles) west of Guardalavaca, this adults-only resort benefits from the luxurious sands of Playa Esmeralda. The setting and the many amenities are the real draws here, as is the five-star service that includes a spa and health center. Activities include a wide variety of nonmotorized sporting facilities and a scuba-diving facility 100 meters from the hotel.

CONS

  • travelers have reported it being hard to find lounge chairs here, so beware of lounge-chair hogs
  • no-kids policy means this is not a place for families
