• CAYO COCO, CIEGO DE AVILA – The re-initiation of tourist operations in Cuba’s Jardines del Rey beach resorts, in the post-COVID-19 period, was described as a success after visitors put to the test services and sanitary protocols at the airport and the Pullman Cayo Coco hotel, a five-star facility affiliated with the Gran Caribe chain and managed by its French associate, Accor Hotels.
The first vacationers arrived on Saturday, August 1, from Nassau, in two planes which landed at the Jardines del Rey International Airport. They expressed a high degree of satisfaction, during their first hours at the Pullman Cayo Coco Hotel – the chain’s only all-inclusive beach resort facility – and were eager to enjoy other optional activities available on the keys.
Drexel Munroe, one of the newly arrived visitors, praised sanitary protocols in place at both the airport and in the hotel, with the implementation of strict preventative measures to guarantee the health of guests and workers at these sites, which have been inspected and certified by the Ministry of Public Health as meeting international standards for safe, hygienic tourism.
Alexis Crespo Torna, assistant general manager of the 566-room hotel, told Granma that visitors were satisfied with the services provided at the facility, which they described as excellent.
