Meliá Cayo Coco

Top choice in Cayo Coco


This intimate resort on Playa Las Coloradas, at the hotel strip's eastern end, is everything you'd expect from Spain's Meliá chain. For a luxury twist, try staying in one of the elegant white bungalows perched on stilts in a lagoon. Prices are high, but the Meliá is unashamedly classy, and a 'no kids' policy enhances the tranquility.
