Centro Comercial La Gaviota
This is the largest commercial center in Cayo Coco, it's open daily from 8:30 to 16:00. I’s located at the small roundabout where you’ll find the access roads towards the hotels located on the Playa Larga and Playa Coloradas sectors, see map below (Yellow markers are the shopping centers). The closest hotel to this shopping center is the Hotel Mojito. The 3-storey building is shaped like a seagull (gaviota in spanish).

Servicentro La Rotonda (service center)
This one is not a commercial center as such, it’s a gas station with a few others services. This service center is called "Rotonda" (Spanish for roundabout) because its located at the large roundabout where the two main roads cross, the North-South road connecting Cayo Coco with the main island of Cuba, and the East-West road connecting Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo, see map below (Yellow markers are the shopping centers).
Services include : A gift shop, a Snack Bar "El Rapido", a ETECSA center (where one can buy phone and internet cards), and a bank (Banco Financiero Internacional) which is for now the only bank in the cayos of the Jardines del Rey.
Since 2017, there is a new bank ("Bandec” branch) right next to the Rotonda gas station. Note that there’s currently only two gas stations in the Jardines del Rey, the other one is in Cayo Guillermo, next to the Boat Adventure docks, in front of Marina Marlin. The price for gasoline is 1.00 USD per liter for "Gasolina Regular", and 1.20 USD per liter for "Gasolina Especial". Prices may have changed.
