can you swim at night?

Was there mesqitos?

How was the food there ?

Good video.

Been twice… it’s nice resort, snorkeling is really good, rooms are nice a little pricey for Cuba but overall good

Merci pour le vidéo...je part le 25 décembre...merci 😊

Great video Dave. Please tell me this. I have knee issues and going up and down stairs is a problem with me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much, Steve S

Thank you for all the videos of Melia! Is this the favourite of all the Cayo Santa Maria resorts? Have you been to the Royalton?

I hope it gets better, as it has potential. The food at the end of September 2024 was almost inedible (beans with rice, or rice with beans with fresh produce almost non-existent). I know Cuba is having challenges (sort of); however, the food was much better at other resorts in the same area at the same time (when comparing notes with other tourists on the bus to the airport and the airplane). Other than that, the ocean, beach, rooms, air conditioning were great (far above my low expectations) - well except for the 1.5L bottle to share with my roommate per day (would not provide more water). It was great to not have to "battle" for a chair at the beach. We always found chairs (beach or pool) regardless of the time of day. The ocean water and sand were incredible. Although a handful of staff were amazing, many of the buffet "servers" were indifferent. Tipping seemed not to matter to most with better service. The sports bar (2nd floor) was very good in comparison with service!

Where is this?

👍

International beers and alcohol is included?

thanks for your dedication to this resort it truly is a wonderful place

Hello, If you enjoy lush tropical foliage, Paradisius Rio De Oro is a classic 25+ year garden delight. No matter where you are stationed, the grounds have perfect distances for walking to all points of interest. Lockdowns for a couple years took a toll on the maintenance of waterfalls and some of the structures but it is still a wonderful resort. Walking to the very far end of the beach was the best ocean swimming for floating in peace, they will get you a chair/drink down there for a tip. Upgrade one up from a regular room and get situated in the building across from the towel cabana on the second floor and you can really enjoy the resort with ease. Thank you for mentioning Sol Turquesa in Holguin, we must try it in November, looks like great ocean swimming.

good stuff man!!

I’m looking at resorts to stay at in Holguin, this is one of them. All are so lovely, this one in particular. The one feature I’d miss most are the deep rolling waves of Cayo Santa Maria. I like to float, neck deep. It’s difficult to find a beach in Holguin that allows you to do that. But I love the densely forested grounds of the old Holguin hotels. Beautiful. Any chance you will review Sol Turquesa Beach Hotel? It was my very first stay in Cuba many years ago. I believe it was acquired by Meliá from Sunwing a few years ago. Lovely, huge and newly revived. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but the terraced pools are stunning. Thanks Dave.

Beautiful hotel! Especially for Cuba… since Varadero is getting out dated. Only issue is it looks empty. Hopefully it picks up soon. Good review thanks.

It’s great to see so many people there…. Kinda like the old days.😊 Holguin is so typical of Cuba’s lush countryside, a little mountainous so challenging on foot, but beautiful.

Nice Dave! Keep up the good work

Thanks for reviewing this resort! I've been very curious about it! ❤

Hello, are there any pet friendly hotels there ?

Could someone please tell me if this hotel is pet friendly

Habs fan's are the best fan's!

Hello!:) Thank you for the tour. Could you please help me? Is it worth for snorkeling? Is there a sealife? And is there a bar at the beach or you need to ask drink at the pool? Thank you for your help in advance!

Where is the Beach at Marina Plaza?

Great follow up to your previous video on PRDO. Really torn between the quiet luxury of the Royal Service side, or the killer beach at Royalton CSM? Apple and oranges, I know … but any thoughts on one vs the other? We generally prefer Melia resorts over Blue Diamond, and the Paradisus has a very elegant feel to it.

Great video David. Nice to view on a Saturday morning. I love Cuba, but due to health issues< I will not be visiting again anytime soon.

Great video, we’ve stayed next door at memories probably 10 times, watched them slowly building this concrete monster, I know what the beach is like there, this locals used to joke about how crappy it was, there was a rumour Melia was going to try and clean the big rocks out of the water. I’m sure it’s a beautiful resort but, it has to be the most un-Cuban looking building I’ve seen.

Poor video did not show inside room

Super small buffet no? Im used to Riu buffets.

Been 6 times 4diff resorts ocean view every time!!!!

ich war da mit meine familia wunderschön

You sound out of shape. Gasping for air

Room look really amazing, can beat a new resort....

Great video thanks ! Ive been there several times and will keep going back it's just lovely. So peaceful and the cuban people make it even better

Funny seeing my cuban friends on youtube :)

Nice video 👍🏼 good job is anyone heard of Iberostar Coral in Holguin Cuba???

Great video!! We are heading here in February.

Another great video Dave...Question for you. Do you have to wear wrist bands at this resort? Thanks.

Wow looks exactly the same as the premium suite at Playa Pesquero

Visit Mystique Trinidad hotel please

Very large resort lots of pools and bars.Not as “intimate” as some other resorts in CSM but would definitely go back.

Thank you for this great review. Please what’s the wifi situation in the resort and is the extra level worth it compared to just getting the regular selection?

If your a food snob forget about cuba apart from that & being bitten to death by the mosquitoes cuba is fab 👌 no guns nice and safe ive been many times to cayo coco and also stay in the town of moron and mix with the locals 😀 11:07
