Hotel in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba
Memories Trinidad Del Mar
All-inclusive beachfront resort near Trinidad's colonial center. Family-friendly with pools, entertainment, and easy access to both beach and town.
Memories Trinidad Del Mar is an all-inclusive beachfront resort on the Península de Ancón, on the calm Caribbean-facing shore approximately 12 kilometres south of Trinidad's colonial centre in Sancti Spíritus province, Cuba. The location balances direct beach access with proximity to one of Cuba's most photographed UNESCO World Heritage towns, making it the principal base for visitors combining beach relaxation with colonial-city exploration. The resort fronts Playa Ancón, regarded as one of the finest beaches on Cuba's south coast, with clear shallow waters, fine white sand, and a sheltered bay protected from Atlantic swell. Motorised and non-motorised water sports are available directly on the beach, including snorkelling in waters that support coral formations and reef fish. As a Memories Resorts property, the hotel operates exclusively on an all-inclusive basis: rooms, meals, drinks, and most recreational activities are included in the rate. Accommodation consists of bungalow-style and low-rise room blocks spread across landscaped grounds, with multiple swimming pools including a main pool with swim-up bar. Dining includes a main international buffet restaurant and à la carte specialty restaurants serving Cuban and international cuisine. Multiple bars operate throughout the day and evening, including poolside and beachfront options. A dedicated kids' club and children's programming make the resort a popular choice for families. Evening entertainment covers live music, dance shows, and cultural performances drawing on Cuban son, salsa, and changüí traditions. A small spa and fitness centre complete the on-site amenities. The resort operates regular shuttle services to Trinidad's historic centre, where the Plaza Mayor, Museo Romántico, and Casa de la Trova are all within short walking distance of the drop-off point. Guided excursions to the Valle de los Ingenios and the Topes de Collantes national park can be arranged through the resort's excursions desk.
