Playa
Cristal
Step aboard
and set sail to the south, where the
pages of time turn back to the richness
and splendor of Havana at its height.
Hemingway's Cuba. A balance of masculine
life spent outdoors and the romance
of Latin culture on the beach. This
exotic, forbidden fantasy comes to life
at landfall on the legendary isle of
Key Largo and Playa Cristal, a residential
resort featuring the exclusiveness of
private living, and the lush amenities
of resort life. From the moment you
pass through the historic arched entrance
on U.S. 1, the eye is drawn to the Gulf's
shimmering horizon beyond Portales,
a series of portals that choreograph
your emotions and frame the legacy of
these 12 tropical acres: the crystal
white sands of the most picturesque
beach in the Florida Keys and, by extension,
the world. Along nearly 800 feet of
beachfront a series of balustrades create
comfortable amphitheatres that guide
you to the beach by day and beckon you
to sit at night. For here, The Sun Also
Sets, each evening, in a dramatic bow
unequaled in splendor. Our hub of activity
is La Floridita, a lavish pool reminiscent
of the historic clubs of Havana, with
a restaurant and bars just steps away
from an infinity-edged pool wrapped
by twin staircases--a grand entrance
to the beach. Every aquatic whim is
at your fingertips in this fishing,
boating and diving paradise, minutes
from the first undersea park in history,
John Pennekamp, home to the only living
coral reef in the continental United
States. Seafarers find a welcome port
at the end of our wood-planked dock,
where twenty slips stand ready to moor
your personal boat or yacht. This luxury
life is limited to less than 100 fully
furnished units, distinguished by five
identities:
Quinta Bungalow or Suite-Tucked
into the thick preserve of a natural
Florida hammock, the ultimate in secluded
living.
Casa Fuentes-A neighborhood
of cottages centered on gardens and
water features as an expression of the
beach.
Marquesa-The height
of community living, organized about
a traditional Cuban courtyard that transforms
into a tidal pool.
Casa Grande-The Big
House, reminiscent of grand Havana architecture.
Opulent and rich of detail with stunning
sunset views from every balcony.
Casa Aqua-Beach cottages
where your front yard is Playa Cristal
and the Bay of Florida. Each unit at
Playa Cristal is built to the exacting
standards of Cortex Communities, with
unsurpassed attention to detail and
state of the art appointments expected
of luxury lifestyle living. In its Golden
Age, Cuba was known as the Pearl of
the Antilles. Nearly a century later,
Hemingway's Cuba is alive again on the
Pearl of Key Largo. Playa Cristal
