Description

This dive centre is situated on the south coast in the easternmost part of Cuba, the Guanahacabibes Peninsula that lies within the Cabo Corrientes nature reserve. This stretch of land was formed by waves and the pull of the current in the Gulf of Mexico. Havana airport is approximately 300 km away.

The villa comprises 35 rooms that lie beside the beach, behind which are a further 20 bungalows. On-site facilities include a café, a selection of shops, a bar, a launderette and a bicycle hire service.

The rooms and bungalows all come with an en suite bathroom with a shower and hairdryer, a direct dial telephone, satellite TV and a radio. Furthermore, each features a kitchen or kitchenette with a minibar and a fridge, individually controllable air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a hire safe and a balcony or terrace. Most rooms afford direct views out over the sea.

It is possible to kick back and relax in the hotel hot tub, or to participate in one of the SSI and CMAS certified dive courses. Two boats are used for these courses (capacities of 28 and 12 divers). The experienced dive instructors speak English, French, Russian and Italian.

All meals are available in a buffet form; lunch and the evening meal may alternatively be taken à la carte.

Description

It is not known with certainty the identity of the person who gave name to it, if it was a Venezuelan indigenous brought into force on a pirate ship and then abandoned to their fate, or the daughter of a Spanish sailor who shipwrecked in the area, but Maria la Gorda (the fat Mary) settled down at the edge of the inlet streams, 143 km southwest of the city of Pinar del Rio and to survive, she began to provide food and fun to any ship which ventured that corner of Cuba, where it is assumed that over 100 sunken Spanish galleons lie, and where there is talk of fabulous hidden treasures such as the Mexican city of Merida. Private, quiet and known for its clear sea beds, ranked among the top in the world and for many the best for diving in Cuba, the Canto del Veril marine platform is about 300m from the coast and its 50 dive sites are always nearby; here you can enjoy a marine flora of indescribable colors by the gorgonian varieties that inhabit them, as well as the contemplation of walls which are covered by black coral colonies, which constitute the largest reserve on the island. The marine life is abundant and surprising, mostly in August by the presence of whale sharks.
