Delicious Dining Experience

The dining experience at Cayo Levantado was beyond my expectations! Every meal was made to order, and honestly, I experienced some of the best food I’ve ever had at a resort. The buffet had a variety of fresh and healthy options, and the à la carte restaurants offered exquisite dishes that never disappointed. I particularly loved the Santa Yuca restaurant, where I enjoyed their good cuisine and perfect service. The option to order food and drinks from anywhere on the resort was an added bonus. Absolutely loved the flavor profiles and creativity of the dishes!

Relaxing Spa Retreat

The spa at Cayo Levantado is an oasis of tranquility! My partner and I treated ourselves to a couples massage, and it was one of the best we’ve ever experienced. The ambiance was relaxing, and the skilled masseuses made sure we were both comfortable. We also participated in some group wellness classes at the Yubarta area, which truly revitalized our spirits. I loved the sound energy class—it helped us connect with nature. It’s a must-visit for anyone wanting to unwind during their stay.

Stunning Room Features

Our junior suite was amazing! It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had amazing ocean views from the balcony. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it hard to get out in the mornings. I must mention the luxurious bathroom—it had a rain shower and a jacuzzi that was a highlight during our romantic evenings. The housekeeping service was excellent too, ensuring everything was replenished and clean. Every detail made our stay special!

This hotel is a true gem in the Caribbean, boasting stunning beauty, impeccable service, and a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation.

The dining options were still delicious, though slightly repetitive. Overall, an unforgettable stay with minor hiccups that didn’t overshadow the overall experience.
