The big kahuna of Cuba resorts (1176 rooms), this five-star place, which opened in 2014, constitutes a small town with golf carts to get around, maps to aid navigation and more restaurants than the nearby city of Morón. Common areas feature earthy woods and Ikea-like minimalism, while rooms are punctuated with some welcome color accents and decorated in a bold contemporary style.
