Cayo Coco, Cuba
Cayo Coco remains a perfect vacation hideaway for those looking for a true piece of tropical heaven. Dubbed the Cuban Keys, the islands of Jardines del Rey – home to Cayo Coco – were immortalized in Ernest Hemingway’s novels Islands in the Stream and The Old Man and the Sea. The keys remain the ecological paradise he wrote about in these novels.
