Sol Cayo Coco 03/28/2005
Reviewers Rating:  Excellent
We were lucky enough to spend two weeks (February 14 to the 28th) at the Sol Cayo Coco, along with 50 other people in the group for my nieces wedding. We had the best time! The hotel staff couldn't do enough for us. The room was clean and bright, nothing fancy, but hey, you don't spend that much time in the room anyway. The dining room was big enough so there was never any wait for a table and as far as the food goes, there was always something for everyones taste. It was a little windy for a few of the days so we spent those days at the pool. Always enough chairs and shade. the days we were on the beach, there were always enough chairs and shade there too. the beach is beautiful and the ocean was cool enough to give a bit of relief from the afternoon bake for a tan! Snorkeling out by the rock outcropping was really interesting, lots of fish to see. Some of the group did the parasailing from the beach and one brave soul even did the Zodiak Boat hang glider.
We did the the tour of Moron and Ciega de Avila on a day trip. Very busy tour but you really got to see a lot. The snorkeling tour to Playa Pilar was great and not too expensive, with a nice meal on the island.
Anyone thinking of getting married at this resort...it's a very good choice! They gave us the dining room down by the ocean for the reception dinner, with three waiters, two barmen and a band. A perfect evening with not one glitch. Dinner, lots of wine and drinks, wedding cake and champagne.
We would go back to this resort in a second. Just one comment to other parents: this is a family resort and the kids do have a ball. We are older so our kids are grown. I love to see the kids having fun and don't think I would want to be at a resort with no kids. But keep an eye on your kids. Some of the kids were running amuck, causing a few problems for the staff, who have enough on their hands just looking after the guests wants and needs.
Definitly a four star property!
