The luxurious 5 stars Hotel Rio de Oro, located in Playa Esmeralda, west of Guardalavaca, Holguin, is one of the best all-inclusive hotel in the eastern provinces at front of one of the most beautiful coralline barriers in the world. Edging up to talcum-fine sands that shelve into waters of Maxfield Parrish-like turquoise blues, it has a superb locale. The snorkeling is splendid.
