Current trends
Cayo Espanto continues to define ultra-personalised private-island hospitality in the Caribbean, with its pre-arrival guest survey shaping a daily menu created specifically for each visitor, and its policy of allowing meals anywhere on the island reinforcing an all-inclusive, fully tailored model rarely matched even among other seven-villas-or-fewer private islands; Casa Ventanas' direct-above-the-water design remains the property's most distinctive architectural statement.
