Cayo Guillermo travel guide
Understand
Cayo Guillermo consists of 3-4 all-inclusive hotels, many shrubs and birds, a boating station and absolutely nothing else. No Cubans reside in this region as it is a dedicated (and completely segregated) tourist location. Cayo Coco is similar, but more built up. The local language is Spanish, but English is spoken in the hotels.
Getting there
Most visitors arrive at the Jardines del Rey International Airport on the neighbouring Cayo Coco and then by road across the causeway connecting the two.
See
Itineraries There is little to see other than the beach and the wildlife. Getting out into the real Cuba is highly recommended. A day trip to Moron or an overnight trip to Trinidad or Havana are some of the organised trips on offer.
Do
Hotels have daily entertainment and organised excursions elsewhere in Cuba are available, but are quite expensive.
