My 11 year old daughter loves climbing activities. So we HAD to go there. I usually am not scared of anything but this was something. All paths are different and the level of difficulties varies from one path to another. It was really fun and felt extremely safe. However I had my knees shaking after some challenging paths... I recommend this for everyone! The structure is also a piece of art if you are not an adept of climbing ! It is worth taking the time to see the imagination that went into building it.

It’s a 10CUC peso cab ride each way or 5CUC each way on the bus that stops at each hotel every hour up until around 5pm-ish (if you take a cab there prearrange with your driver when you want him to come back to get you - best tip we got) Rent a day bed or 2 deck chairs under a covered & elevated shaded space for 10CUC & they (an older Cuban gentleman wearing a hat - think softened-Cuban-style-grandpa with a fanny pack) give you 3 free drinks (tickets exchanged) at the beach bar as well, (cocktails, beer - didn’t see wine as an option) which also has premium pineapple filled fruit filled drinks & light snacks (Pringle’s etc) at a reasonable price Rent just 2 beach chairs for 4CUC There are no hotels on this beach area - though catamarans do include the beach on day tours & pull in daily They also offer excursions from this beach but really it’s fantastic on its own & worth checking out. There is a small decent restaurant right on the beach at the end of the boardwalk that serves chicken & lobster dishes as well as beer and wi e & it has a thatched roof covering but still outside and open. Was there in March and the sun is intense - pack a good sunblock, hats & cover ups. Bring TP - the bathrooms were usable but not idea - keeping in mind it is Cuba ;)

Visit to this Lagoon was a part of the organized bus-tour from our hotel at Cayo Coco. We embarked smaller motorboats and traveled around and across the lagoon in about an hour. Journey went through mangrove-forests, small waterchannels, wonderful tropical nature and vegetation as orquids and different sorts of palms growing in natural environment. It was a nice activity in the hot midday, and afterwards is possible to rest at the small cafe on the spot or maybe go fishing if you have time.

Visited on Tuesday, July 23, 2019. What a hoot! $25 CUC, open bar. Shuttle picked me up at my resort (Meliã Cayo Coco) at 10:30pm. 10 mins later, we were coming off the shuttle and Wore v. cool, loose clothing, as I had been advised that it gets hot. It wasn't too bad, and right in front of the DJ, cold air blows freely. Brought a fanny pack with a few $CUC in single pesos for tipping. Place started to fill up with shuttles coming from different places, and by 11:15pm, the place was hopping! Awesomely unique dance experience - a Cuban floor show (complete with fire dancers) followed by 30 mins of hard techno, then top 40 hits, with a smattering of MJ, House of Pain, etc. WHAT. A. RIOT. Tons of sweaty tourists dancing their bums off, tons of tables and chairs for sitting, and the guy working the bar was great! Super fast service and friendly. I got served n.p. (with a warm, welcoming smile, too!) I think it helped that I tipped him $2CUC as soon as I got there...kind of paved the way for great service all night. Excursion tips: For the ladies: DO bring what you need in a fanny pack, as opposed to a purse. Easier to dance with, frees up your hands and arms for the inevitable ARMS UP IN THE AIR booty shaking! DO leave all valuables and jewelry at your hotel (not because of the threat of theft, or anything, but rather just peace of mind, knowing that if you DO bump into someone and your bracelet falls off, you won't cry later DO bring a few single peso CUCs to tip the hard-working barkeeper DO bring your own toilet paper/Kleenex, as the toilet (1 cubicle) is not well supplied DO bring dollar store glo-stix to share around if you wish to make instant friends DO bring ear plugs if your hearing is sensitive (or, like mine, damaged from 20 years of clubbing) DO wear comfortable shoes - runners or sandals. Leave the heels at home, ladies - this is NOT Vegas DO go for beer or shots, rather than mixed drinks that involve water or ice DO have a great time. I know I did, and I will be BACK the next time I am in Cayo Coco!
