Typically, visitors to Coto island are divided into two distinct groups: families with children and groups of friends. Visitors traveling with their families usually prefer choosing high-quality hotels in the Coto town area for convenient accommodation and dining. In the evening, this area's atmosphere is also more crowded and lively. Tram-car is the most popular transportation for this kind of visitor. Another group: traveling with friends will prefer premier mini resorts such as Coto Life, Coto Gardens, or Coto Eco Lodge… The advantages of these lodges are very nice, impeccable to check-in and take photographs, they can also celebrate BBQ party near the beach. However, these mini resorts are not close to the downtown. You can rent a motorbike to explore many unspoiled spots on Coto island.
