Experience Central Cuba – East
t The pool at Iberostar Playa Pilar, named after Ernest Hemingway’s yacht
The name of the island derives from the rare species of bird that lives here: the white ibis, known to Cubans as the “coco”, and flamingos may be spotted in the lagoon areas near the coast. The island is peaceful, and tourist amenities have been built and organized with environmental concerns in mind. The beaches are lovely, with fine sand washed by clear turquoise water. The warm, shallow water makes Cayo Coco particularly suitable for families with children, but the island is also popular among diving and watersports enthusiasts, who can take advantage of the modern sports facilities here.
