Hotel main Beach area is dependent of the season.  
At this moment if there is minimal wind you will enjoy walks on the beach. 

Bring some bug spray just in case.  Some of us have low tolerance for mosquitoes. 

There are 2 nude beaches on the left and right of the main beach. 

During the day only few people stay at the beach or by the pool area.  
Most of them leave resort to get to white sandy beach part of the island. Playa Paraiso and Playa Sirena.

There are 2 main beaches available at Cayo Largo. 
You will take local “train” for free or taxi costing you $2 per person each way. 
It is about 8 km distance so I would advise not to walk on this sandy road. 

1. Playa Paraiso
Bar is available on this beach.   Secluded area, quiet and beautiful sandy beach with available umbrellas and lounge chairs. 
1. Playa Sirena
This is where free lunch is included and soft drinks and alcohol. You may also enjoy lobster lunch for additional $25 CAD. 

At Playa Sirena you will enjoy long walks on the beach, animation team taking care of entertainment and place to lie down. 


Relaxing time in Paradise

The staff are fantastic always happy to see the tourists.  The Ranchon staff are amazing and the food was wonderful.  When we were there they were going to shut the ranchon for al-cart dinners which was a blow to the tourist and staff, this is where we go for our 2 reservations.  Hopefully they have changed their minds on that.  This is a great resort and wonderful staff

Love this place and all the staff that we have gotten to know personally.  They are family to me and my husband.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was my first trip to Cuba. I didn't even know that the island of Cayo Largo existed until I discovered this resort through a "last Minute" website.  I wanted to escape work, computers, cell phones and the city for a while and just sit on a beach.  This is exactly what Starfish offered.  The entire island has been closed down for almost 3 years following a Hurricane and then of course Covid-19.  It is obvious that the owners have invested a lot of money on the property.  Most of the resort is still closed as they continue to repair, repaint, renovate and refresh the property.  I had a very nice room, (a little small, but I didn't got there to stay in my room).  There was a problem with hot water for the first few days as they were still struggling with their reopening plan, but it was fixed and there was always lots of hot water after that.  I had been warned that Cuba is not know for their food, but I was pleasantly surprised at the selection at the buffets and the food was tasty.  I had no complaints.  The beaches on the island are beautiful, however, there are some areas where the beach has been washed away, (but not the Starfish Beach).  All of the staff were friendly and helpful, (even the construction workers.  All in all, it was an excellent trip and I was very happy.  HOWEVER, there were a few things that could be better. 1) The wi-fi service is terrible!  I had to go to the front desk every day to get my log-in credentials reset.  You had to re-sign into the network several times each day, sometimes, every hour.  Very frustrating. 2) The main dining room acoustics are terrible.  It was very noisy at meal times and was difficult to have a quiet conversation due to the noise.  They need to install acoustic baffles or fabric to absorb the noise. 3) It would be nice if they put signs up over the food selections so that you knew what you were eating.

Now called the Starfish resort - by Sunwing

Info. Sunwing Canada says the Pelicano in Cayo Largo de Sur, Cuba was acquired by The Blue Diamond Resorts and will be marketed exclusively by Sunwing in Canada as of Nov. 1 2022 and be called the Starfish Cayo Largo.

Pelicano is now Starfish Cayo Largo

super vacation !
 relaxing with to nicest beach in cuba. we like to walk. best snorkeling, the place to relax. dont go if you want to party ! hotel fine and food is what to expect in cuba. 
2 times in cayo largo .
trip was in march 2016

the relaxing place....

I am sorry to say that I would not reccomend this resort  The beach is what everyone goes to this resort for and that is really all they have. I do not really know who has the management of this resort but they need help. The sing at the entrance says Grand Caribe the key fob says Iberostar and some things say Sol. Our room was a great location to the beach and beach restaurant But the condition was unacceptable. The ants had eaten the drawer unit so that only the top drawer worked. The celling in the bath room was collapsing  I do not go to Cuba for the food, but we had no white wine for most of the two weeks we were their. Beer was missing most of the second week, and PLEASE buy a second toaster. Waiting 15 min  for a slice of warm bread is easily fixed. An all inclusive resort to me means all is included. This is the first resort I was asked to pay for the room safes.  There are so many  resorts in Cuba that are far above this one and I feel they could improve if they had help.

Gread beach sad resort

Welcome to the hotel pelicano! (insert hotel California song here) 
Let me start off by saying that we do not travel often. It had been Almost 15 years since we travelled last to varadero when our kids were small. My husband and I travelled together to celebrate his 50th Birthday and decided on Hotel Pelicano to arrive Friday February 14, 2020 - Valentine's Day night. We chose this resort because Cayo Largo sounded beautiful and even though this resort was a 3.5 star it got a 4 star rating on trip advisor. We were ready for anything (or so we thought - see sunwing review) we ended up arriving at 2:00am on Saturday.  Roger and Gabriella checked us in and would remain two bright spots of our vacation. Dropped our luggage off in the room - not the ritz- but hell with it we needed a drink. Off to the 24 hr bar. Yosmanis (sp) was there and made us some drinks and ham sandwiches. He doesn't smile but don't let that put you off. He always took care of our needs and I don't think he ever sleeps!  Wake up-coffee-beach-bubbas full-repeat. yes we ate in between.  The Ranchon is by the water and magical. We did have a lobster dinner one night and went again for another night because Noel is the best! They do a beautiful lunch buffet too! Regular Buffet is good. Just busy and we didn't want to miss a minute of the glorious weather by being inside. After some reflection we decided that this was in fact paradise and we felt so lucky to have experienced it! So much more to tell Roger brought my husband a bday cake. We had champagne by the water a beautiful sunset cruise and so much more. Sunwing cut our vacation short (they never should have landed us in the first place - see sunwing review) so we didn't get to experience it all (others stayed longer for free but one gentlemen payed for the extra days with his life) Wonderful people (staff and guests) Not pretentious. Will go again. God willing. xo Melissa and Danny

Welcome to the Hotel Pelicano!

I would have given a five star rating if it wasn't for some food faux pas's. No cheese for their pizzas, no mustard or ketchup at the Zun Zun bar the first three days, no eggs for breakfast the last 2 days and no orange juice. That said though and realizing that this is Cuba, a little planning before hand would make this a non issue. We met one couple that was there for their 13th time and they reiterated that fact. Except for some supply issues the buffet and 2 al la carte restaurants and the bars  were good. We did spend evenings in the bar drinking a lot of spanish coffee. 

The beach was as awesome as other people have described it. We were there the last week of January and there were always plenty of palapas available. Going to a nude beach was on my bucket list, not so much for my wife though. In the end she thoroughly enjoyed it and now she wants to go for 2 weeks the next time we go. And yes we are planning on returning.

We had an ocean view junior suite (3rd floor) room that was very nice. However, with my wife's knees as they are we'll ask for a ground floor room next time. 

The resort grounds and pool are also very clean and well kept. At lunch we'd eat at Zun Zun and spend a little time at the pool. 

We rented an 4 wheeler one day to check out Paraiso and Serina beach. Then we went to the little town aka marina. That was a nice outing. 

The staff is very friendly and aren't too bad with their english. Internet was available at the main building for 1 cuc/hour.
