Tryp Cayo Coco ****

I just got back from Tryp Cayo Coco and the beach was beautiful. You had to get there very early (7-8am) to get a chair becuase people left their towels overnight. It was windy 90% of the time so bring a track suit or jeans and a long sleeve shirt for the evening.
The buffet was cold even when the food was suppose to be hot. The pizza place on the beach was decent, definatley try it at lunch. The International restaurant was good and Casa Cubana was alright. Unlike the Dominican they don't make the drinks from real fruit its all syrup, which is disappointing. You were excepted to tip at every meal. It was annoying and the service wasn't better the next day if you did.
The rooms were alright, it had a bed and shower... what else do you need.
One huge problem was the water, they didn't supply you with bottled water daily, you received one bottle @ arrival then you either drink from the tap or buy bottles @ the store.
The entertainment was okay, the shows were missing imagination. The animators were nice. Ubaldo, the guitarist, was very nice and entertaining, he made a point to speak with everyone. The disco plays mostly international music so if you're looking for salsa go to the Salsa Teca on another resort, they provide transportation.
The crowd is a good mix, families, single (18 to about 29) and some older.

2 of my friends and I spent a week at the hotel tryp and we loved it!! the weather was beautiful the ocean was calm and clear and there was never a dull day!! we went on the glass bottom bost which i highly recommend and we also went snorkelling which was just amazing!! Tip: if you go snorkelling bring a few bananas from the snack bar to feed the fish also if you are a strong swimmer the guide may take you out alone to see a some cool stuff!
I would totally stay there again it was all we wanted and more the nightly entertainment was fun and the staff were very friendly and helpful!!

I disagree with these negative reviews. There's a pretty decent beach, the food was really good for me (if u like seafood), and entertainment was alright. For food....If your going to the caribbean you can't expect them to be experts in the art of making stupid hamburgers. There were 3 a la carte restaurants, the seafood place had AMAZING food, i mean it tasted as if the fish was caught an hour ago. I agree that the buffet restaurant was below par, but for crying out loud there were other restaurants which were all really good.
There were a good number of young people that were for the most part pretty cool. The watersports were also good. The beach is clean and beautiful, God forbid you goofballs leave the idiodic pool area. And the water was warm.
I do recommend an excursion to Moron, to the cave and the prohibited beach just north (i believe) of the resort. The trip to the town was pretty cool, I probably wouldnt do it again because the beach is better but its something you should at least see. The cave was alright, but the prohibited beach, undoubtably owned by Castro's cronnies, was absoluely RIDICULOUS! It was untouched, the sand was really soft, the water was turquoise and blue. To this day that is probably the best beach I have ever seen (I just asked the guy that owned the restaurant if I could take a stroll on the beach and he was cool about it). Guys, this is the perfect place to take your lady friend (its really private).
There was great nightly entertainment, the guitarist was really good, he did Tears in Heaven, No Women No Cry, etc, had a really great voice (once again, perfect to slow dance to). The bartender, Leo, was wicked, he makes a mean ZAMBOOKA! I wouldn't return tho, its always best to try different things.
