Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo are located off the northern coast of Cuba, and Cayo Largo is located in the south next to la Isla de la Juventud. All three islands remain intact with their original majesty, untouched by the hands of time. Their isolation and distance from the mainland is the reason they have managed to stay so beautiful.

Littered with white-sand beaches that are bright and brilliant in the strong Caribbean sun, with mangroves and coconut trees as their protective backdrop. There is a radiance and solitude here that is exclusive to the Keys.

The surrounding sea is as clean and clear as a mountain stream, beneath whose calm, turquoise waves lie beautifully preserved coral reefs and a rich ocean life. The diving and snorkeling here can only be compared to the that of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. On land the abundance of flora and lack of development create the perfect atmosphere for the vast numbers of birds that visit here.

The sheer beauty and tranquility of the keys has inspired many writers of notoriety, finding solace they have produced some of their most memorable work. It is not difficult to understand why many people find themselves returning to these pieces of paradise year after year.

Cayo Coco, with an already solid hotel infrastructure, has 22 kilometers of beaches of fine sand and greenish transparent waters, located in a practically virgin environment where forests and other plant formations cover near 90% of the territory. As well as several inside lagoons, which provide an ideal habitat for many species of its fauna and two interesting Interpretative pathways: the dune of Loma del Puerto and Las Dolinas

A causeway links Cayo Coco to Cayo Guillermo, a small isle of merely 13 sq. km of surface which was immortalized by Novel Prize Ernest Hemingway and his work "Islands in the Stream", when he described how green and promising this place looked to him. Its three beaches and among them Playa Pilar, which is considered to be the most beautiful one, have a total length of 4 kilometers and the scenic value is reinforced by the existence of other natural elements, such as the highest dunes in the Caribbean, which reach heights of up to 15 meters.
