Great resort

The most beautiful hotel , the grounds are absolutely beautiful and the gardeners are constantly working to keep it that way . It is very clean and you always see the cleaners doing a great job. We were there early September and it was very quiet low occupancy results in some buildings and amenities being closed but we understand this and it didn't affect our vacation at all . The staff at this hotel are so friendly and helpful which is one of the reasons we continue to go back. To experience a [... read more]ll this hotel has to offer go at busier times it is so worth it and I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Beautiful resort

This resort is approaching 20 years old but it is beautiful. The gardens were mature and kept in great shape. Most of the rooms have been renovated. While it was at very low capacity when we were there, most of the amenities including the entertainers, were working and open. We were treated amazingly well. The beach is awesome, as you would expect in Cuba, and the pools were nice and clean. We had a great time!! Lizy, on the animation team, was awesome and Adriana made sure we had more than we n [... read more]eeded.

Disappointed

Well where do I start? Love the Cuban people they are so deprived and the workers/ gardener's,they ask you to bring them food from buffet.They use to appreciate tips but not this time...we were tipping every one everywhere. We happen to just get off the catermran and gave the guy a great tip and wanted a drink at the beach bar on the way back. And when we didn't give a tip we got yelled at from a worker in black pants and white shirt and female bartender "what no tip?" "No tip?" As we walked awa [... read more]y. The food was not alot of choices and was cold at lunch and dinners. And if it wasn't for the omletes in the morning it would have been horrible. The Cuban restaurant was delicious!!! Now about our room after checking out 5 rooms in search of one without a overwhelming stench of mold and mildew. They all smell don't forget these rooms have been closed up tight for 2 years of covid.We found one least of the smell but on the third floor. We are older and M many stairs to climb daily.Guest at motel are so friendly and like myself is a repeat customer.In which they had a really lovely dinner for us all. The beach is beautiful, so it is at pullman, a much nicer resort with plenty of food and no mold or mildew. I will not likely return to cayo coco but instead spend my money somewhere else. When I go away i want to be pampered, eat good and not be serving the workers...Feeling sorry for the Cuban people is not enough to get me back.

Potential

This hotel definitely has potential. Unfortunately when we arrived though they closed everything we were excited for. There were Maybe 20 people at the resort so they closed the night shows and all food places except for 2. We were so disappointed. Nothing to do in the evening without night entertainment. We feel we should have been offered compensation for everything being closed.

Wonderful Time and Place!

Playa Coco is a great Hotel with exceptional staff, the best beach, good food and some very good entertainment. It’s just a short trip from the airport. The reception staff could be no better. Friendly courteous and professional. The bell boys Will and Jose are quick with a smile and provide fantastic service. The managers Sahily, Idel and Adriana go above and beyond to make sure your room is suitable and your stay enjoyable.The rooms are clean and spacious.

The beach boy Ale works very hard to make sure you get your favourite spot. The bartenders are wonderful too and very good at their jobs. Hats off to George, Michelle, Michael, Raul, Jorge, Carlos just to name a few. My coffee ladies and wait staff are phenomenal! Thank you so much to Yolanys and Karrina. You make the best cappuccino’s! The entertainers do a fantastic job! Dancer Zambie and Yuner are amazing. They all are! Thank you to entertainers Alejandro and Giro for taking me fishing and thanks to the cooks who prepared the fish caught. Daniel provided twice weekly singing performances and got us all on our feet dancing the night away. Awesome job Daniel! Such a great and friendly place to make new friends! Lastly I would like to thank my maid Irma! She is the best! Can’t wait to go back!

Decent - Bring a flytrap

The staff was helpful and friendly. The entertainment group was phenomenally talented. The beach was picturesque. It’s Cuba after covid, storms, and economic struggles so go with that in mind. They take US and CDN at the same rate ($20 is $20), so bring Canadian. You can often find someone there willing to trade their loonies and toonies for bills, but make sure you use Canadian and they give you Canadian. Do not accept Cuban currency!!! The wifi is only in the lobby, and you have  [... read more]to ask them for a login slip. You get 6 hours worth and can get a new slip when you’ve run out. We were there a week and ran out the very last day. There are a few websites that you can’t use (Disney+) and it won’t let you open the App Store, so prepare for that. The food was what you would expect. The breakfast meals were by far the best (eggs and smoothies), but I struggled to find anything at lunch and dinner. We brought our own ketchup and salt, I’d suggest you do the same. Peanut butter for toast would have been nice. We had to stop ordering drinks with liquor in them — they’re very heavy handed with the rum. Also, they tried to serve a fairly strong drink to a 12 year old so watch that if you’re travelling with kids. We even said “no, she’s a child” and they tried to tell us it was fine.. it wasn’t. The flies. My good god the flies. I know there’s really nothing they can do about them, but I was losing my mind. BRING A FLY TRAP!! The beach was very pretty, but (again not their fault) there are burrs from palms throughout the beach and the water was rocky. If I went again I’d bring water shoes. The pool was nice, but it wasn’t very clean (the sides were green, water clear). The staff at the swim up bar was terrible… She spent the majority of her time chatting with other staff. We timed it once out of curiosity and it took her almost 30 minutes to actually serve us. We brought snorkels and it was cool. There were so many different fish, giant snails, neat flora and fauna. I enjoy seeing new plants and species so that was a highlight for me. The rooms were what you would expect (adequate), water was cold in the morning (if you wait until around lunch it’s good). They were clean though, and the woman who cleaned our room 6 out of 7 days was a delight. I would visit this resort again but there are certainly things I would do different and that they could improve on. I can’t state enough how talented the performers were. Definitely check out the nightly shows (they start anywhere from 9:30 to 10, lol. Island time I guess). I’d also like to reiterate how lovely the staff was.

Playa Coco - A fine resort!

It was an all-inclusive resort. The staffs were friendly and tend to our needs when asked for. They had two 24-hou open bars for all booze lovers. They had activities and games at the resort and every night they will have dance and music programs as well. It was very entertaining. Do not expect much from the buffet experience, you could find some things that you like to have. Their menu is almost similar every day. Beach and Pool experience was amazing.

Good value!

Easy access to all amenities, 3 a la carte restaurants, gorgeous beach and friendly helpful staff. Only real downside is the very! loud constant boom boom music played by staff at the main pool, beach and late night shows. Volume down please management. We want to hear the ocean waves not blaring loud music 24/7

WE LOVE THIS RESORT!!!

Larry and I have been to Hotel Playa Coco 9 time and are palning our 10 trip for the end of March. People who complain, are people who think Cuba is like Canada, it's NOT!! The beach is the best we have ever been to. The staff at the resort are the best you will ever have anywere!! The staff go out of their way to please you. If the airline you fly with looses you luggage or your airline delays your flight, DON'T BLAME THE HOTEL or STAFF!!!!

Great resort

Wonderful staff, clean and very well maintained property. Best resort I've been to in Cuba. Pool is huge and lots of room for everyone to have a great time playing or floating. Thank you to all the staff that work so hard to ensure we had a great week, especially to Adriana, Jorge, Raul and Taimy - you're the best !

Amazing resort!

We had an excellent time at the resort. The grounds felt very well kept and clean. The staff there was amazing, everyone was very friendly and welcoming during our stay. The beach was superb, conditions were great for swimming and sunbathing. The evening concert shows were very entertaining, and the music was addictive to listen to. The restaurant buffet had satisfying food, and the waiters were doing a great job. The bars and bartenders were also very nice and delivered all the drinks we asked  [... read more]for. The hotel room itself was good, and big space to unload all our luggage. The housekeepers attentive to cleaning the room daily and uplifting our spirits with nice bedfolding displays. All in all, we had a great time at Hotel Playa Coco and would recommend their services to anyone thinking of visiting Cuba and having a good time in the sun and water.

Not recommended

I came back from here feb 24 2020, and I have to say I will never go back. My sister and I came back full of bed bug bites. Front staff very rude. Money exchange lady tried ripping us off. Nothing worked. Went with 14 people and none of us will ever return.

The beach was amazing!!!

The only complaint l have is that our room was very musty smelling. Also the bathroom toilet did not always work. The food was good. The Japanese restaurant was our favourite al a carte. We also enjoyed the beer house but it was hard to tell if it was opened.The pools were nice and clean but they ran out of beer at the quiet pool. l guess they want to keep it quiet. The buffet was small but very good. Had lots of fish, chicken and pork.. Wine was served with meals. The staff was friendly and hel [... read more]pful. We had a wonderful holiday but would not go back only because we like to go some where different every year.

Hotel Playa Cayo Coco, Cuba

The grounds were really well kept. The beach was spectacular. The aLa Cartes were very good as well as the buffet. They had game rooms and playgrounds for the kids ( big and small) Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only thing was did not have hot water everyday , but I prefer cool when it’s hot outside anyways.

Hotel Playa Coco

Not in anyway deserving of a 4 star! We moved after 3 days to another resort. The ceiling in the bathroom leaked. The shower curtain kept falling down. The bed was terribly uncomfortable. The phone wasn't working. The service was horrible. The bugs were biting in the dining and bedrooms! Our safe didn't work. Worst hotel ever!

Average resort

We were at Playa Coco from Jan 12/20 to Jan 19/20. It was extremely windy and a little cool. The ocean was clean but very cold as well as the pool. Food was hit and miss. The reason we chose this resort was one particular meal they used to have at the Italian a la carte but they have removed it from the menu. We didn’t like anything else even though we went twice. The Japanese restaurant was the best. Service was average and the room was fine but no drawers to put your clothes away. Won’t be [... read more] going back.

Spectacular resort

The beach is exceptional, the people who work there are very welcoming. Always smiling , great service. The restaurants à la carte are delicious. The buffets were very good as well.The rooms are regular, but very comfortable and clean . The pool is very nice as well .The pizza place and ice cream place are tasty as well . All in all , I had a great vacation.

Five Star Beach and Three Star Resort

Lovely staff. Beautiful beach. The food was good. The rooms were large and clean. The location to the beach and resort size was perfect. No A/C or hot water was quite annoying. I would return to this hotel tomorrow if I was able!
