Where the big tarpon hang out

As of September 1st, 2015 the incredible area of Gardens of the King called Cayo Santa Maria is under the exclusive fishing operation of Fly Fishing The Run. This area had been known as the Tarpon Paradise of the North Coast of Cuba, a world class destination for tarpon on the fly, where the trophy fish is just at the next cast. Nonetheless, you have bonefish, permit and other flats saltwater species, anglers love to focus on the Silver King.

This fishing base is located in the North-Central section of Cuba, right in “Cayo Santa Maria” of Villa Clara, as part of the attraction of the beautiful countryside. It is an excellent and privileged area of marine life. Cayo Santa Maria is one of the keys, part of Buenavista Bay Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO since year 2000.

ACCOMODATION DETAILS

Lodging Details

The Iberostar resort has lush, well kept grounds and 2 stunning beaches. The staff here is some of the best we have ever had the pleasure of meeting while in the Caribbean, everyone is friendly and willing to help everytime. The Iberostar has 2 sides, one is the „Park“ side which is family friendly, and the other is the „Spa“ side, which is adults only. Both sides have swim up bars, and they both share the buffet in the main building, and the a la carte restaurants on site. There is also a Grand Village section, which is completely separate. For our fishing operation, well use the Spa Suites or Grand Village*, but if you’re thinking on travel with the family, we could also book the Park suites, that allow kids.

The swim up bars at this resort were exceptionally clean, as were the beach bars and lobby bar. The food at the restaurants was surprisingly good given Cuba’s reputation when it comes to food. The spa on site is fantastic, we highly recommend the couples massage for a relaxing morning.
