We visited Cayo at the end of September, and couldn't have experienced a more relaxing holiday. Due to an accident a few weeks prior to our week at Cayo, my husband needed to use crutches to hop around. Whilst the resort is on a hill, the lifts, funicular, and buggy services meant he did not struggle to get around at all. The staff were lovely, always friendly and smiling, they never failed to greet you. We stayed on a half board basis, and thought that the options for breakfast and evening meal were great. There was always something new to try. That said there are lots of lovely looking restaurants a short walk away in Plaka, although on this occasion we didn't try them. Although people in the hotel who did, said they were great and reasonably priced. We had an amazing weeks stay at Cayo, and will definitely be going back to visit places we were unable to get to this time. My only suggestion would be for Cayo to consider their own airport shuttle service. .
