10 Things to do in Cayo Santa Maria That You Shouldn't Miss
Travelers come to this small island north of mainland Cuba to bask in the sun, swim in sparkling blue water, and be pampered at an all-inclusive resort. To explore Cuban culture, you’ll need to go farther afield (this is a planned resort development; employees are bused in), but if you’re simply looking for a stress-free tropical break, Cayo Santa Maria might be perfect for you.

We were at this resort in December 2019 and we wrote our review accordingly - we were disappointed (that you can go read on trip advisor). We had the opportunity to go back in March 2020 and this time we were pleasantly surprise. There is a new manager, Manuel. He seems really nice and wanting to improve the resort. We did not have a chance to meet him personally, but maybe next time around. Hopefully, he will still be there when we return. Claudia used to work at the spa. She is very polite and gentle. She is now at the "quality control" for the resort. The spa is a nice, small and relaxing place. Great service with many options available.

The beach at Cayo Santa Maria is awesome, it stretches for Kilometers where all the resorts are located, so the beach is similar at all places and its shared so you can walk along the beach through all the resorts. The best beach section though is the one located at the bay behind the sercotel Resort, its your dreams beach.
3. Playa de las Gaviotas

Look pass the 4 cuc admission fee and the 10 mins walk through the forest and you will be rewarded with an amazing feeling of walking onto a piece of paradise. The beach is truly a natural oasis. The sand bars create natural pools and the gentle lapping waves make it an ideal place for kids to play. Bring your water/snacks but leave only your foot prints and take away memories and pictures only. Let's pray they don't develop this spot. In my opinion its much better than playa pilar by a long shot.

Went in on a whim, and got one of the best theroputic massages I've ever received. 100% recommend to book one after a few days stay. The relaxed feel is impeccable. Highly professional massage therapist!

I was told to wait and buy our souvenirs when we took our trip to Trinidad. But for the most part, we found the prices at the Plaza very competitive. Vendors were willing to barter and they had tons of options. Vendors changed every couple days. So we checked back every day of our vacation.
