Cayo Coco Travel Forum

Where in Cayo Coco is the swimming with dolphins, and how much in sterling does it cost per person?

Are there any whale and dolphin watching services on the island? If so where are they and about how much, in euro if possible, would they cost?

My mother and I will probably be holidaying in Cayo Coco late this october to early november. We have noticed that The Oasis Playa Coco is quite cheap for an all inclusive deal, however I have read very mixed reviews on this hotel including many which said that the staff were unfriendly. Has anyone here stayed in this hotel before and if so how did they find their stay? Are the staff unfriendly? I would really sppreciate any information on the hotel or the area in general.

Oh and How much money in euros would be an acceptable ammount for two weeks? We are on a relativly flexable budget but all the same.....

hi,can anyboody reasure me that this hotel is not adump has we r due to go 6 of jan 09 and lhave four children and lm worried about the reveiws l have read please reply mep

I would like to ask about diving in Cayo Coco (and Cayo Guilermo) - is there a big chance to see sharks during diving (or sharks are seen only sometimes)?
Whats the weather in Cayo Coco in November (i have heard that there is a little bit windy and not good weather in that time) ?

am hearing a lot of dodgy things about cayo coco and the Blau Colonial can anybody tell me what there is to do out there ie diving snorkelling horse riding etc. Have read the post on the site and it is all very conflicting we are travelling as a family of four with teenagers and am really hoping there is lots to do see eat and drink

where do you purchase the underwater disposable cameras?

A few questions:
1. where can you exchange money and any recommendations regarding how much you should exchange since we heard you cannot change it back to u.s. or canadian funds easily
2. how many pesos for the catamaran
3. do you find out at the Krystal about diffrent things to do or should things be booked before trip

exactly where do you go in cayo coco for the horse back riding?

I read a recommendation for the Catamaran trip... how much doers it cost per person? What other recommendations do you have for things to do and see?
Where is the best place to get information on cost of car hire and travel to Cuba mainland?
Many thanks

1, Does anyone have a tips for us as to local customs ect, what we should or shouldnt do.

2, Does the Lagoon really smell bad as we have read somewhere.

3, Should we need to take our own towels.

4, How long is the transfer from the airport to the resort.

5, What is the legal limit to the amount of cigars/spirits we can bring home with us.

6, What are the Lagoon view rooms like, and has anyone been on honeymoon had an upgrade from these rooms.

7, We will be wanting to go swimming in the sea, what is the best thing to do with our towels ect

Hi
I'm going to Cuba for my 3rd time in Nov'07-but my 1st time to Cayo Coco.
I'm staying at the Oasis Playa Coca(I think it use to be called Playa Coco).
I would love to hear from anyone who has recently stayed there. I need info on oceanview rooms-restaurants-pool- beach-bars-food-service-local areas outside the hotel--and moquitos--thanks.. :)

Hi,

a few questions for the peeps on here who have had the Cuban experience. Staying at the NH Krystal in April 08.

1. Can you go to other hotels to see what nightlife they have to offer? I am not a party animal but likes to have a jive.

2. Are the spirits all local, do they serve stuff like Malibu on the AI?

3. Is the AI better than Egypt? (been here loads, AI not great but bearable!)

4. Is it worth visiting the reef? I gather not as good as the Red Sea?

5. Best place to book excurions and approx cost? Any suggestions for a good day out, anything a must see?

6. How much money approx for 2 weeks? Thinking of £800, is that enough?

7. Is the horse riding safe?

8. What cant i take into or out of Cuba?

Any specific tips would be appreciated.

Hi,

Can any one please let me know how the weather is like in early to mid September? My fiancee and I where planning a trip to Cayo Coco for the first time and we did not want to go on a time when it rains a lot or cold. We love the beach and also good food. We are thinking of staying at NH Krystal Laguna Villas & Resort.

Thank you for any feed back.

Hi am planing a trip, last week november, first week december to cayo coco, staying at oasis playa coco, but now am thinking of changing to, cayo guillermo, staying at sol cayo guillermo, the reason being i have heard the fishing is better here, and while the wife sunbathes, i might be able to fish from the shore, could any body put me right on this.

Hey there all,
I'm heading to Tryp Cayo Coco on May 11-18/2007. I've read some pretty mixed reviews and would like to know if anyone has been there recently and what it was like. I'm pretty excited to go and am pretty easy-going as far as vacations go so just wanting to know what to expect. Anyone else going to be there at that time?
Thanks to anyone who replies.
