Occidental Royal Hideaway Cayo Ensenachos
North of the Villa Clara province, an expanding tourist circuit stretches out and covers part of the Jardines del Rey archipelago, whose major allures are the Las Brujas, Santa Maria and Ensenachos keys. Ensenachos Key, in particular, is a U-shaped former aboriginal settlement of barely one square mile that shelters 22 plant types and 39 wildlife species. Its 2.2-kilometer-long coastline harbors some of the circuit’s finest beaches: Ensenachos and El Megano.
The Occidental Royal Hideaway Spa & Resort Cayo Ensenachos is the only lodging facility perched on this unexplored islet. Partially opened in December 2005, this all-inclusive, five-star grand deluxe hotel stands tall and peaceful, trapped in the surrounding natural environment. The official grand opening took place on June 1, 2006, making all of the hotel’s products, conveniences and services available to guests.
The expression One Island, One Hotel conveys exactly the message that all of the hotel’s facilities embrace each and every corner of Ensenachos Key, offering three well-marked products in its Royal Spa, Royal Hideaway and Royal Suites sectors.
Occidental Royal Hideaway is one of Occidental Hotels & Resorts’ four brands, this one characterized by the all-inclusive and grand deluxe concepts. Cayo Ensenachos will be Occidental’s second unlimited grand deluxe resort. The chain’s forerunner –the Occidental Royal Hideaway Playacar- is located in Mexico’s Playa del Carmen.
The Occidental Royal Hideaway Cayo Ensenachos has 506 highly comfy rooms broken down in 440 standard accommodations, 20 duplex suites and 46 suites scattered in 23 villas outfitted with concierge service and other in-room customizations. Some 270 rooms are distributed in 14 two-story bungalows spruced up in colonial style and built around a central patio.
The hotel features a nautical center, a 1,250-square-kilometer spa, a business center, all-purpose halls, a theater to seat as many as 500 people, countless MICE facilities, and a library. To top it all off, the lodging dishes out a wide array of services and counts on several a-la-carte restaurants. Some gourmet standouts are those serving Caribbean cuisine, macrobiotic food, vegetables, as well as Japanese and Italian food. Guests at the Royal Spa –those with 7-day stays or longer- will be entitled to enjoy a variety of specialized treatments, a hot-water pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, a gym, massage, pedicure and manicure services, and a whole lot more.
The Occidental Royal Hideaway Ensenachos is less than a one-hour drive from the Santa Clara International Airport and only five minutes away from the domestic airfield on Las Brujas Key. It stands 385 kilometers from Havana and is linked to the main island through a rock-based paved road that runs some 48 kilometers on the sea and features 46 bridges. This major hotel –the building of this lodging took some 48,000 square meters of marble- boasts an exotic design and refined décor hemmed in by lush natural foliage and lavish gardens that make this hotel a genuine natural hideaway. Once again the slogan One Island, One Hotel makes good on this paradisiacal reality.
