ah, mosquitos, damn!
In a nutshell
A fantastic place to escape from winter!
2 Reviews With Thomas Cook we also went on the "Colourful Cuba" day trip which was good value for money. After arriving in "Moran" the nearest main town (where most of the workers at the hotel complex are from), we embarked upon a horse and cart which took us through the streets of "Moran". The trip then...
2 Reviews For 10 pesos we took a nice ride for about an hour. We didn't ride much on the beach which was a disappointment. We did however ride along an area where the locals party and sleep, leaving tons of trash along the path. They also offered sunset tours for an additional 10 pesos. How does that work?...
2 Reviews El senador is one of the best beaches in cayo coco, it's clean and the sea is very clear, but one thing, this resort is isolated from the local population, so if you want to see other thing you have to take some tours (available in the hotel) to go visit other places in cuba.

Cuban Resturant.: Cuban cultured dishes.
wandabendik Says: This was my favourite restaurant in the complex.The food was Cuban style, cultured culinary delights, in a romantic setting over looking the lagoon.The building was divided into the seafood on one side and Cuban on the other.The lights were low with candle lit tables, wine...
Fontenella: Quick and Slow Service....depends
JennysTravels Says: We ate here the second night. When you check in they give you three ala carte tickets and you have to make a reservation with the restaurant cordinator. I ordered the veal, which was paper thin and covered with canned mushrooms. It wasn't the greatest but we also had about 6...
Krystal Laguna Hotel.: Tema Caribe in Caberate.
wandabendik Says: Tema Caribe are a five peice band which play Latin and smooth sounds of the Caribean, Cuban Salsa and serenades of the sax and solos.Playing two or three times a week, they were brilliant.Yaxi the singer has a sultry smooth voice which has a unique sound.They currently have...
JennysTravels Says: Salsa Cafe is the disco in the Blau Colonial. They have hour stage dancing shows everynight and they also do alot of audience participation. Just be careful of the big bald Cuban should you get hauled to the stage. Sometimes he likes to wear a wig and dance around putting on...
Expensive road trip to Cayo Coco
neverstoptravel Says: Trying to fly into Cayo Coco instead of going by land. 60-70CUC one way from Ciego de Avila.Forget about walking from check point to your resort mentioned by so many travel books/guides. Never! Never! Be sure the taxi you are taking to Coco is licensed to enter the...
wandabendik Says: It's easy to get around Cayo Coco, there is barely any traffic around, as the locals live on Cuba which is across the causeway.The only transport are coaches laid on for the tourists, A horse and cart picked up from your hotel which will take you on a tour.Cars can be hired...
RKyle Says: You can also buy them at the airports if you want to take them home with you.Be careful about buying from the locals, a friend of mine bought a box of Monticristo #4's off one of the hotel help, everything proper but they had to be seconds as half of them had next to no...
Cigar lounge.: Cigar's galore.
wandabendik Says: This place is unique, never been in a cigar lounge before.If you enjoy them what better place to try before you buy.This is a place for adults to indulge, you can relax with your cigars maybe a rum or cocktail to go with it, on rocking chairs over looking the lagoon,...
JennysTravels Says: This sign is posted at the entrance of the Sugar Mill, it's written by Fidel. If anyone can translate it, please email it too me.Ok a friend did his best at a translation:...in an exemplary people, but as a whole, continues to better itself ,be more aware and be more...
Tipping is Appreciated Even with All Inclusive
Tryla Says: We found that tipping even $1.00 U.S. each day to the maid, bartenders, waiter/waitress, etc. was greatly appreciated in Cuba. A dollar doesn't seem much to us but for a Cuban it is more than a days' wage in some cases. So even though tipping is not expected because it is an...
Bwana_Brown Says: No real dangers to speak of that we encountered. However, a couple of warnings. First, at Club Tryp it was necessary to stake out your selected sunbathing chair at the beach or the pool early in the day by draping a towel over it (these were supplied by the resort with a US...
Beware of Ameican affiliated credit cards.
wandabendik Says: In Cuba or cayo coco they don't accept credit cardsaffiliated to America, so check with your credit card company before you go.I met a few people who got stuck as they had no extra money. Make sure to check before you go with your credit card company. Take other cards, as...
wandabendik Says: Make sure you take adequate mosquito repellent or they will bite you.They itch for days.Take plenty of sun tan creams as the sun is strong when it comes out.Make sure your in your designated weight before you go to the airport to fly home as they will charge big money for...

Sports - Who needs it when you have a pool? :-)
Tryla Says: When we were at El Senador we just went to the gym for a workout every other day and we played a few games of tennis. They have a games room with ping pong tables and other table sports. At the beach you can take out paddle boats or play beach volleyball. At one of the large...
Tryla Says: My favourite activity at El Senador, Cayo Coco was walking along the beautiful, white sand beach looking for seashells to bring home. Not only did we get exercise to walk off all those calories from the "All You Can Eat Buffet" but we walked in the crystal clear ocean and...
SueC-UK Says: For an unforgetable treat book a room on stilts over the lagoon, they have the most amazing sunset views and add a special touch to your holiday. Watching the most amazing sunsets from my own balcony overlooking the lagoon.
Although the El Senador Resort looks huge it is very easy to navigate. There are sign posts along each path to let you know where you are going. After just one day you will be an expert at finding...
