Cayo Coco has excellent beaches and resort hotels and we favour the Melia Cayo Coco a well-established resort hotel for adults only with excellent facilities and 40 minutes by taxi from the best flats fishing areas. There is also a reasonably productive flats for bonefish just a short stroll up the beach from the hotel. The quality fish are a taxi trip away.

We found Bonefish to be some of the biggest in the Caribbean with fish on our December trip averaging 4 to 8 pounds. November to March produces less in terms of numbers but with excellent quality. As water temperatures rise from March to June the flats become more prolific. The bigger tarpon move in too during the hottest months. Permit are elusive but are around throughout the season along with a variety of snapper and jacks.
