Bottom Line

The 624-room Memories Flamenco Beach Resort is an all-inclusive mid-range property that’s situated on a stretch of beautiful golden sand in Caya Coco. Air-conditioned rooms have minibars, flat-screen TVs, and outdoor spaces, plus some have ocean views or sofas. However, maintenance issues have been reported in rooms and around the property. Traditional resort-style features are present, including both buffet and a la carte dining, a large pool complex with a swim-up bar, and daily well-regarded entertainment, though food receives mixed reviews. Most past guests find it worth upgrading to the Diamond Club, which offers perks like minibars restocked daily, premium liquor, and spa discounts. It’s worth comparing rates with Melia Cayo Coco.

Memories Flamenco Beach Resort

What's the Scene Like at Memories Flamenco Beach Resort?

This all-inclusive hotel is family-friendly and packed with amenities, but maintenance issues and dated decor are downsides.

Parts of Memories Flamenco Beach Resort look dated and sparse, though everything is bright and relaxed, with lots of open-air structures. Rooms are generally clean, however, some guests have complained about basic maintenance issues like lightbulbs out along paths or on patios, which can pose a safety concern. Outside, it’s all ocean vibes, with a tiki-hut swim-up bar, verandas for massages, and rows and rows of blue loungers both beachside and around the pool. Although groups of friends and couples vacation here, this is a great family-friendly pick, thanks to a kids’ club and pool, and kid-friendly daytime and evening entertainment. The all-inclusive package is decent, but better values can be found in the area.

Where is Memories Flamenco Beach Resort Located?

On a beautiful beach in Cayo Coco, off the coast of central Cuba.

Memories Flamenco Beach Resort is located on the island of Cayo Coco, which is situated off the northern coast of central Cuba. Cayo Coco has a pristine shoreline that boasts some of the world’s best beaches -- think picture-perfect white sand and turquoise water -- as well as a colony of pink flamingos that the Memories Flamenco Beach Resort takes its name from (flamenco translates to “flamingo”). The drive from Cayo Coco Airport to Memories Flamenco Beach Resort is about 20 minutes by taxi. However, what’s secluded for some is isolated for others; there’s a small market with some shops and entertainment about a 10-minute walk away, but anything more requires a 20-minute bus ride.
