During the week I did experience a few issues related to water and power!!!!but I did survive!!!.

I love your attitude because it’s a philosophy that’s aplicable on other situations of life. Sometimes we let minor inconveniences ruin our day, ignoring that we’re privileged and blessed by god to have a roof, a job, a family , food. Cheers from Mexico
Hey Wolf Gang
From Mexico
Thank you
Exactly what I was waiting for: Diamond Club, Flamenco resort.
Looking forward to checking it out.
Thanks for producing this great video 🎉🇨🇺☕️👍
Thanks for watching!!!
My son got pretty sick so I didn’t get to make a good video!!!
That I wanted to but that’s life!!!
Ups and downs
Great content! Love your videos. We had a bad experience last spring in the Guardalavaca area, we booked an overpriced hotel thinking we would not be disappointed, for the most part a great holiday but way too many shortages. We have been travelling to Cuba for 20 years so we understand the limitations and hardship that the island faces day to day, but the people are so resilient and I I don’t know how they deal with the situation. We thought we would never return to Cuba but your experiences and attitude made us step back and reassess our expectations when we travel to Cuba. We are definitely planning on returning thanks to you!
Amazing!!!
Which place
Great videos keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
We liked that resort. We went with friends and all the kids loved the beach. The water is amazing there
Scottie!!!
The beach is incredible!!!
Thanks for the video Mike . Great as always!
Great video Mike, thanks for the info
Thank you for doing these videos, they are helping a lot !!
Awesome Video!
We really enjoy your views on cuba . We have been down about 10 times and have always enjoyed our selfs. Go with the flow 😊
Thanks for the video, very informative.
Thanks
Bud e weiser
Thankyou for another great video, nice job. I love your attitude and now I just want to visit all of the resorts in Cuba, they all look good. Keep up the good work, safe travels and looking forward to the next.
Thanks Chad
I have few more Cuba videos then I’m off to Dublin and Europe
Look’s relaxing
This is awesome, we were just there and it's like reliving it again!! You are so fun to watch and detailed in everything. I agree as my first time to Cuba, you can't expect VIP experience, but it's worth the money. The beach is beautiful! Was there the same week and think I saw you, so add me to your subscriber list haha
Hey Laura!!!
Thanks for the comment!!!
I appreciate it and I appreciate Cuba for what it is!!!!
It’s beautiful in so many ways
Take me back ! Miss it already haha thanks again Mike:)
You and me both!
Love it!! Great job!!
Thanks Robin!!!!
I appreciate it
Great review I was there in early September and we enjoyed ourselves aside from the limited food selections and mosquitos. Like you said beach, pool, night shows, drink selection and even snack bar was good for late night snacks
Great video, we didn't have hot water for 3 days last year, didn't bother me, but mi esposa that's another story.
You should always bring your Bubba cup for drinks 🙈
Totally!!!!
I’m with ya!!!
Thanks Mike,love your videos I am also a Cuba regular and your videos really helped.
Great to hear!
thanks for watching and your support
Another great video Mike. We’ve been to this hotel 10 times so far, and may take another trip back in the spring. I love your views and your attitude towards Cuba and the wonderful people that live there 😊❤️
….and I also loved your reference to Jimmy ❤️
Glad to hear it was a good time. Also glad to hear the kid is ok! Doesn't look like a bad place. I do like th pools
It is a good pool place!!!
Great video as always ! I am spending the week in Varadero at the Iberostar Bella Vista and it has been nothing short of amazing so far. The weather is perfect, my star prestige suite is the best room I ever had in Cuba and my ocean view room is spectacular. Also the food at the star prestige restaurant is very good and tasty with lots of choices. I am very impressed by this hotel and excellent service I will be coming back for sure. Don’t hesitate to try it ! ❤️🏖️✈️☀️
Really amazing thanks for telling me this!!!
Do they have a big following????
Thanks for the comment!!!!
I appreciate it
Mike
@@Finding-Fish Hi Mike, I don’t know if they have a big following but it seems very popular as the hotel is 95% full and it’s October ! I have to go at 7 am to reserve a beach chair it doesn’t bother me but I can see it being irritating for some. The other thing is the music it’s not a calm and quiet resort but the entertainment is amazing at the beach and the pool. The other good thing is there is no bugs and no mosquitoes and the rooms are very clean and modern. I am having an amazing week !
Thanks for your review. We are going Jan 29.. looking forward to it!!
Awesome
Remember Cuba has some issues from time to time ,
Beautiful beach great people low expectations
And you’ll have a great time
Nice Mike! Always a good watch! Looking forward to heading back to Cuba soon
What the resort you recommend in Varadero?
@@Finding-Fish Melia Internacional Varadero...I just uploaded a new video from it a few minutes ago actually :)
@KardosoMedia perfect!!! I’m on it!!!
Really enjoy your videos, very informative and you tell it as it is.
My wife and i are looking at this resort come the end of April. We have been to Cuba several times
Varadero, Cayo Santa Maria and Holguin so we know what to expect.
We thought we would try this area of Cuba, we love the beach the Cuban people.
Amazing
Thank you
Mike
Hey Mike definitely powdered eggs we had them at Caribe 1st week of September they are using them supplies are low. You can still get real eggs at diamond club
I’ve only been to Cuba once - it was last March. We stayed at The Pullman and loved it! I appreciate the videos you and your wife post - Extremely helpful
thanks for your support !!
i appreciate it
I will go this resort soon , thank u for the video 🎉
You will love the beach
I really appreciate your honesty and fair opinions!
you make great videos sir just wanted to tell you this for awhile now,great camera shots and background music very professional ,i love cuba started going to cayo coco 3 years ago at playa pilar resort and absolutely love it there but we do pay about 1000 dollars a week from Halifax in end of march for 2 weeks.hope we can meet someday and share some cocktails' and good stories .marc and wendy shediac nb
Hey Marc!!!
Thanks for you amazing comments
And yes when will do meet up!!!
Cocktails for sure!!!
Thanks to your reviews, we just came back from a trip at the memories Flamenco. We had a wonderful time down there. Alot of your advice helped us prepare and enjoy the trip. Loved the Cuban Capuccino, the beach is amazing, i loved any meat on the grill...so i didnt have any problems with eating at the buffet. We got reservations at the Asian, Creole and Italian restaurants. The pools and salsa dancing plus nightime theatre performances gave us options. The bug spray advice was priceless. It was our first time to Cuba and we thoroughly enjoyed it👏👏👏.
Thanks for sharing
That’s awesome!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Mike for another honest great review.
We are returning (10th stay / visit), this time with the full family (including our young Grand children) in November, so I hope they have the water issues logistics all fixed up.
Keep your great resort tours review going.
If you ever go to Cayo Largo we would like a review of the Starfish (formerly Pelicano).
Thanks Again
The star fish beach in Cayo Largo looked great
Plus you get to to the free train to Serina beach!!! Everyday if you want including all good and drinks!!!
Free!!!
Watch the Sirena beach video!!!
Thank you looked at it and it looks amazing@@Finding-Fish
First off was awesome meeting you! Secondly had I known you could of used some electrolytes. I had the best thing around... coco hydrate! It helped me as I suffered from too much sun as well.... if you're interested in trying it out, let me know! I'm partnered with purium. Anyways, great video, and I 100% agree with everything. We didn't even notice the 1 day without water as we were at the beach. Miss the beach already!
Hey I was great meeting you!!!!
Good to know!!!
I will definitely be packing a lot more items next time!!!
Good day. I think a week for that price is great. I know the limitations and accept. Someone with high expectations needs to rethink their plan or readjust. I even have a hard time to eat in Punta Cana these days so I eat 2 times a day. Power and water running out is not fun. The ice machine needs to run for mixed drinks. The pools look good and ocean.
Awesome video, thanks! Nice place, but I still prefer Memories Caribe :-).
I love it too!!!
I go between both depending who I’m traveling with
I was there in June amazing time !
I loved it too!!!!
I was there when you were there. Has no hot water - we took a shower outside and we made the best out of it. We will definitely be back at flamenco!
ya Me too!!!!
i loved it!!!!
so did my son,
once he got better!!!
Hi Mike...those were likely powdered eggs you had for breakfast. We were at memories carib same time as you. We had no real eggs after day 5 and they looked familiar😊
Oh wow!
Great video..Mike and can you pls show everyone so how you got $705 ..7days stay..how far out to book it..which site to get the good deal…Every time we Check it was double the price.We love down south….Cuba and Dominican Republic👍👍👍👍thanks from Toronto
In the Fall no more then 2 weeks and sometimes 3 days before!!!!
I've been to Playa Coco and it was great, Pullman was amazinnnng, now Memories Flemenco we didn't have the greatest experience yet will be going again next week because it's dirt cheap. I'm hearing a lot of bad recent reviews and it seems to have gotten worse from when I went but will make the best of it. This is my 4th trip this year to Cayo Coco. 🇨🇺
For the Money!!!
It will be excellent!!!!
Amazing beach
Let me know when you get back
We really enjoy the content on your channel and have been watching for some time. We just got set up to subscribe today. My wife and I are excited to return to our favorite getaway and will hit our third Memories together in a short two weeks. Never been to the Flamenco but Memories has never disappointed, nor does the odd power outage or cold water. Its part of the adventure. We were wondering if you and Jenny had any advice on getting Diamond Upgrades at the resort (value) vs having it in your package up front. We have seen the Diamond offerings and would value any feedback on that. Take care and keep posting these great and informative videos.
Right Now The Flamenco has a few Issues just to be Clear!!!
but the beach is outstanding Troy
Daiquiri Video out Saturday, nice little Resort
Appreciate you pointing us to the info. Looking forward to the return to Cuba and seeing the great people.@@Finding-Fish
No idea when you were last at this resort. We just got back from there. Diamond club as recommended. This place was a dive. No phone no hot water no toilet paper no cola. Slept in the same sheets all week. Ran out of towels. No mini bar stocked with at the least water. Never be back and done watching your reviews
Well Randy
Just got back last week when the Resort experienced the water situation!!!
When it comes to Cuba and the ups and down I don’t know I can say it any differently!!!!
No towels and no sheets for the week!!! Wow!!! Did you talk with housekeepers and house keeping????
Or front desk?
If you travel, and to a country like Cuba with a mass amount of issues, kindly talking with front desk comings up with a solution would be my first attempt!!!!
I’ve made countless videos about traveling to Cuba and what it could look like!!!!
Also Cuba changes from week to week and day to day!!!!
Thank you for your informative videos Mike! This hotel looks great! Just wondering what your experience has been with the mosquitoes there. I went to Varadero in April and I had never gotten bitten so badly in my life even though I used bug spray ☹️
I’m in Varadero right now and there are not many bugs but it’s really dry
One or 2 good rains and they’ll be out
@@Finding-Fish Thanks so much for responding! Have a great trip! I subscribed to your channel btw :)
That Cat at the start of the clip was so friendly and chatty! I let him into my room for just a minute, then decided to name him "Hairy Styles" 0:14 . I loved seeing all the cats at this resort. (and it appeared that many of the males had been "fixed")
thats awesome
That cat is so affectionate! He would follow us to our room also and we would give him a few treats. It’s a pleasure to help them out
Great content, we appreciate all your videos! From your experience, how's the weather in Mid December? Subbed!
I’m here in Cuba right now!!!
It Beautiful, can be cool in the Morning maybe a light sweater!!! But by 10 am it’s fantastic
we are booked for destination wedding here in April 2024 and have all upgraded to diamond club. We are curious as to the dates you were here for this video. Keep 'em coming, we love your videos. Thanks so much.
He was just there left last Sunday
Last week!!!
September 23-October 1
Thanks for sharing. We have been here 4 times so far. We love the layout of the resort. We have also been to the memories in Cayo Coco but we found that was too big.
You will have a great time!!!
Like I said
Cuba is ebbs and flows!!!
But still amazing
We 100% know exactly what to expect. We have been to Cuba more times than we can count and this time it will be for a wedding on that specific beach so we can't wait. I proposed on that same Beach in 2019.
I highly recommend that you eventually enhance your Cuba travel to authentic towns, cities or villages; Santa Clara, Cienfuegos, Trinidad for example. Or split your stay between both a resort and a town or city. Living the Cuban life, authentically and understanding the struggles and the complexities of being a Cuban without the frills of a resort helps one to understand the shortages and why things fluctuate so much. Prior to the pandemic, I was living in Cuba half the year, building a business and working with writers and authors. it really changes how you live your life forever. Your values change. I did the resort thing for 15 years and have stayed at high-end and low end, and have been to every resort zone in the country. They truly are all very similar with anemities, routines, accommodations. They’re nice for a few days to wash away the city dust but a resort stay can never replace spending real time with real people in real Cuba. Thanks for your reviews and I hope to visit one of your resorts soon.
Hi yes you missed me! Robert and Charissa Watts from Lindsay Ont!
Hey Rob!!!!
Merry Christmas to you and Charissa!!!!
Shoutout to Lindsay
@@Finding-Fish Thank you so much! Enjoy your trip! I went to Cuba first in 1984..tell you what happened some time!
Hey Mike. Ho w do find such deals? I booked memories carribe, regualar for 100$ more. I was so inspired by the beaches you showed, i didn't care about the hotel.
Just back from memories caribe myself...your right amazing beach
He’s online every day- when the deal pops up he books it. He doesn’t typically book early. Some days just a few days before.
Love your videos! Keep them coming. I’m dying to know. What do you do for a living? Spare time and income. I’m jealous.
i might make a CZcams video on this subject if people want to know
@@Finding-Fish great idea.
Do i need a special adapter to charge my phone or will it work at the plugs bere ?
thanks for sharing
Do you think this would be a good trip for solo women travelers?
Yes, definitely, but remember Cuba has shortages from week to week.
Enjoy
Hi Mike luv your videos. wanted your take if its ok to go to Cuba mid July thanks
Go for it!
Summer travel to Cuba coming out soon!!!
Hey Mike, thank you again for the amazing video. Do you know if this resort has issues with the bed bugs? Also, can dimond Club be purchased once we get there? Going in two weeks with 2 small children
I have never seen a bed bug in Cuba in all our travel, and we’ve checked!!!.
yes you can upgrade to Diamond Club if it’s available!!!!!
have fun thanks for the support!!!
I'm retired on a small pension and did not think I could afford a vacation, but for $700 you seemed to have decent weather, beautiful beaches, and decent food. Did you have to pay extra for the room safe?
Safe comes with the room- in fact almost everywhere we travel- the room has a safe. I hope you get away soon!!
Nope all in everything in this video was included for $705
Great value for money Doug
Very excited to be headed there in a week, any chance youll be there ?! 😅
Hey!!!
I just left Santa Maria Grand Aston
Las Brujas
Video out Saturday
Enjoy your vacation
Head to Thailand for a month to make videos and then Back to Cuba
Great video!!! Question! Was there wifi available for free?
Yes wifi is always free at the resort I’ve stayed at
Have you been at grand memories in Varadero, what’s better?
We will be going in December just wondering what kind of cash to bring and roughly how much?
Canadian $bills like $5 $10 $20, what ever you fill like tipping I usually bring around $200 or so!!!
Donyou mind sharing your problem with memories flamenco beach the past 2023 year?? I’d like to bring my toddlers in a couple weeks , was it the “no see ums “?
Bring bug spray!!!
And everything possible for your toddler!!
It’s Cuba
They are having hard times getting all items!!!
You’ll be fine!!!
Hi Mike, just wondering where you're able to get such a great deal? What's your secret? I would be flying out of Toronto as well. Thanks
In September but only 1 week out
Many others there got it even cheaper then me!!!
Don't do Flamenco
Can you recall if there is a volleyball net on the beach at Flamenco?
Yes there is and it always seems busy in the afternoons
No water, how do they do dishes and wash hands preparing food. Maybe that’s the cause of the sickness.
I have been to Cuba 13 times but do worry about flies and lack of washing.❤
Ya maybe
Might of been the 10 rums!!!
I’m thinking the Rums
Beach is the only part that's beautiful. Went last year and there was water shortages and food was not good
Last year is a lifetime ago!!!
Here right now not one issue
Not one shortage
Lots of everything
What resort were you at?
The same one you recommended last year. "Memories Flamenco"
We had no water for almost half day and the Diamond Club sorry to tell you is a joke. Nobody cared to be completely honest with you
Hi Mr Fish, thanks for all videos, you literally show all important aspects about hotels; we want to go to memories Flamenco or memories caribe in cayo coco but I`d like to know if there are bed Bugs on rooms and doctor available on the hotels (these two I mean ), strongly appreciated if you get back to me soon (we want to book) (wife, my 16 years old boy and I), thanks
My pleasure,
Yes Both Resorts have Doctors on Call, I've actually used them a few times!!!
Just as at the front desk!!!!
they will advise you!!!
Bed Bugs, over 40 trips to Cuba, never ever have i had that issue
Mike
@@Finding-Fish thanks a lot Mike; if u go at the end of June I hope seeing you there and thank you personally!!!
Hello Mike; hope you’re doing great ( impossible not to by being there almost permanently 😁😎; I forgot asking you if you saw jellyfish in MemoriesCaribe beach ( at least in playa cayo Santa María there was many; eager to get your answer; thanks
If we are diamond club in the Flamenco, can we also go to the diamond club beachside grill in the Caribe?
No only Flamenco!!!
Hi is this resort suitable for a single senior lady. I just want sun and sand. How much walking is there to get to room, lobby, or beach. Would I be better to get diamond club
Yes totally suitable and safe,
Easy to get around and a beautiful beach with lots of Beach walking!!!!
Building 1-2-3 are the best and easiest!!!
Request those and life is good
Hola finding fish nos conocimos en cayo coco hotel Memori caribe soy el taxita del Chevy negro
Hola amigo,
si lo recuerdo,
¿Cómo estás?
Esperemos que bien
@@Finding-Fish mi Ermano como usted me podría ayudar a crearme una pajina para promosional mi trabajo como taxita para coseqir clientes por la pajina se lo boi a agradecer toda la vida saludos bedisiones
Do you go to Cuba thru vacation packages? Is $705 price included flight and resort together?
All in, everything !!!
Air, transportation and accommodation and food
another good video..i thought u needed health insurance to travel to cuba??? or do they not except payment from an insurance policy ??/
No you pay in full in Cuba then submit your receipts when you get home.
@jenniferfisher4912 then my question is why do they check if u have insurance?? Or am I not correct??
Hmm not sure? Who checks?
Hey man, I’m going to this resort very soon and I’m a huge fan of beach volleyball, do they have a net at the beach?
Yup and I see people playing everyday
Have fun
Thanks for watching,
I’m in Thailand making series of videos
Coming out Saturday
Thank for your support
Mike
@@Finding-Fish thank you👍🏽
Hey quick question! We booked the diamond club suite - with the king and the little living room. How did you qualify as a diamond club member? was it the room you booked? This looks like a steal for the price! I was told not to book on the higher floors, where the water pressure is worse so i anticipate that isnt great
It was the same price when I booked in Low season!!!!
Typically in low season the resorts may offer deals like this to entice people to the resorts.
My room like you can see was Okay,
And in low season not everything was opened!!!
So it wasn’t really worth that much!!!
Like I stated in the video
I’ve stayed at this Resort 10 times
Best building 1-3
I never had a water issue in any of these buildings!!!
Even on upper floor but that was 6 months ago
what is their preferred currency for tips? cuban peso?@@Finding-Fish
Hi Mike - question have you or your wife ever used the spa at Memories Flamenco? Or do you know if it is a real spa or just massages by the ocean? Thanks
Hey I haven’t but the spa is totally legitimate!!!
They do great work!!!
I have more Cuba content out this Saturday
Thank you. I leave Dec 21 for Flamenco (D Club) - think I have all the bases covered. This is like my 40th trip to the Caribbean (3rd to Cuba).
Have you ever gotten good poisoning/parasites here? Last time I went, my last 3 days were pretty rough because of this. The nurse gave us some pretty strong antibiotics and electrolytes and they helped, but had to go get more when back in Canada.
Ya like 20 years ago!!!
But my body is use to anything!!!!
You can get parasites anywhere you go in the world!!!
Safe travels and enjoy the world we life in!!!
I tend to get sick when I travel in general- I try to stick to the basics but hydration packs help and Gravol 💕
1 quick question ...how would you rate the food in Cuba so Far ? On a scale of 1 to 10 !..
Start looking at our Food videos- the food changes all the time and remember you’re never going to Cuba for the food- you are going for the beach and people!
It really depends!!!
What food types you like!!!
If you have watched any of my videos!!!
I’m not going to Cuba for Food!!!
When it comes to food it depends on the months and the resort!!!
Low season the good quality can be lower then high season!!!
Do you ever go in D.R ??or just Cuba ?
i am going to memories caribe soon and i was wondering if you could tell me the goods and the bads from that place its my first time leaving my country and im not the type to be ungrateful for what those people will do for me there but out of curiosity i would love to hear about it! ive seen your vids from that place but i dont think ive heared you say anything bad from it
If you watched that video I give my personal thoughts at the end of it!!!
I choice not to get all involved with the bad!!!
Power issues from time to time!
Water presure issues from time to time.
Ebbs and Flows of certian Food items and White Wine and Red Wine issues.
IS the Resort OLD!!!
YES, Does it need maintenance from day to Day...
Yes
I'm Never travelling TO FIND THE negative!!!
I'M ONLY GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME...
Does the resort suffer from issue Yes!!!
I'm never going to concern myself with that!!!only focusing on the positive!!
Best best and great pools.... ASK yourself why did you Book Cuba?
BEACHES, SUN, FUN, SAFETY.
THATS what you'll Get!!!
Enjoy!!!your travel
@@Finding-Fish thank you so much!! appreciate the respond
@@Finding-Fish one last thing is it better to have diamond club if so why?
are the drinks for free too?
Everything
So was the plumbing issues addressed?
Sorry the plumbing issue???
Sorry l’m not the maintenance person,
You’ll have to email the hotel and ask?
I meant like have you been back since and was the plumbing issue fixed as you had mentioned it needed to be on your video. I enjoy watching your videos btw.
Biggest match until they ring the bell and The Rock is sweating buckets 5 minutes. The entrances will be dope but the match ain’t gonna be special. Lots of chin holds. If they were smart they should promote a whole new PLE with The Rock vs Roman Reigns and leave the Cody vs Roman match at WM alone. You get two big matches out of it. WM is already sold out it doesn’t need The Rock
Been here prepandemic . The only good thing about this resort was the beach.
