Great information. We love cuba and we always know what to expect and are prepared always. Thanks mike for these videos we look forward to always seeing what's next. ❤
Got back from holguin great people food bought cigars on the beach traded fishing line spices hygiene stuff and just amazing people's! Enjoying the video fishy lol
Great video! Very informative and I am always grateful for your honesty. Cuba is beautiful and you have to go with a very open mind and be prepared for shortages. You will never go hungry and if you are a beach lover, you will be in paradise. Enjoy!😊
Love attitude about Cuba. I've been going to Cuba for 30 years and you express exactly how it is and how I feel about the country. Anyone looking for a 4-5 star flawless resort with amazing food should really look elsewhere. If you want an amazing beach and sunshine, amazing people and willing to accept reasonable food at an amazing price, Cuba is your spot. My goal is 4 trips per year there
New subscriber from Quebec city here! Our favorite destination is Cuba! Thanks for your efforts Mike! Your vlog is very helpful and positive every time!
live feed would be awesome :) It's Sunday morning, 2 degrees hehehe. Had a friend JUST get back from Holguin and said they felt the earthquake, so glad no major damage and resorts still up. Love your videos of course :)
Great video. I was at a resort once that ran out of mint, that is surprising because it is grown in Cuba and is part of their famous drink. Didn't last too long though.
Thanks for another very informative video!! We go for the beach and the people and the history. A few missing items certainly doesn't bother us. I don't believe anything the mainstream media put out these days. Videos like this one tell the truth and it is very much appreciated!! The only negative I have heard from our Travel Agent is that Sunwing has taken about 25 Hotels/Resorts off their destination list but that could change anytime. Take care and safe travels.
Great video Mike cheers I was worried about friends when the earthquake hit but was told they didn’t feel really anything in moron or Ciego de Avila. Just a door rattling. Keep up the great work cheers hoping to get back to cuba soon. Cheers grimsby Dave
By the way Grand Memories, Holguin, had eggs, coffee, bacon and fruits, mint etc. I never felt I missed anything. This was my best trip to Cuba. The people were amazing as always. Going back as soon as I can. Not as soon as Mike seems to get there.
Was so nice to meet you in person … I was in the water trying to catch your attention by waving to you and forgetting how rough was the water 😅when I was hit by one 😂😂oh god that was so funny and embarrassing
Good morning Mike ❤Glad we listened to your videos! We are having an amazing time in Varadero. Not one compliant about power, water shortage, the beautiful ocean, the weather or anything else. Amazing people and a wonderful bonding time with my son 🙏 Cher from Winnipeg✨
My son loves to fish and he met locals and meets up with them in the morning to fish at the bridge. We also went to Santa Marta on Sunday to their weekly market and bought avocado and bananas, something that our resort wasn’t supplying. Safety issues has not a concern for us.
@@Finding-FishNo need to be…flight was delayed so I was able to watch while waiting at the gate!! Thanks for the update. Great to get the lowdown from someone actually there and experiencing it in real time.
Thank you again, Mike! Just returned from Holguin and the hotel was operating perfectly. I did not feel the earthquake either. I was also down in Santiago, about 3 days after the earthquake and did not see any interruptions to life in that city. There could have been, I just did not see it.
Vos commentaires sont toujours aussi judicieux. De plus, ils rejoignent totalement ma façon d'aborder mes voyages à Cuba. Quand moi et mon conjoint y allons, on ne regarde pas ce qui manque. On focusse sur ce qui est offert donc nous ne sommes jamais déçus. Suite à votre vidéo, nous pensons sérieusement à retourner au Sancyuary White sands très bientôt. Nous avions adoré l'endroit en mai dernier. Merci! 🌴
Everytime hubby and I go to Cuba from Canada we say" let's go home to Cuba" We are not even Cubans or speak good Spanish. That's how much we are in love with that country ❤ Thank you for being so kind to this amazing place❤
I just got back from Iberostar selection Ensenachos, Santa-Maria yesterday. It was green light and thumb’s up all week. Yes, Cubans want to see tourist. Tourism is the #1 industry. Great job again Mike
Hi Mike. Many tourists come in for the excellent Bone Fishing in Cayo Cruz. Since your channel is called Finding Fish, did you ever consider going on a fishing excursion to show your viewers that Cuba is know for some of the best Bone Fishing in the world.
Watching this video right now. Love your channel and love Cuba. Any chance you can check out Resonance Blu/Musique in Varadero? Was the Memories but just went through an overhaul. We are going to Varadero over Christmas. Thanks for all your videos!
You Have a Great Time!!! I doubt any resorts will Disappoint Tourists at Christmas!!! I'm probably won't be checking that resort out!!! only have 3 more resorts to go!!! Before Christmas
Many thanks for your videos, Mike. I watched a lot of them before booking this trip to Cuba and they were really helpful. We’re at the Iberostar Selection Esmeralda right now, and it’s great.
Absolutely enjoy every one of your videos Mike. I send them to my mom to watch as well. It's your videos that have finally sold her on Cuba for our next trip, we have always gone to Punta Cana. She even has an extra suitcase already full of items to give to the staff there and we aren't even going until next October/November, lol. Not quite sure exactly which resort we are going to choose but your videos will definitely help us decide!
Don't be sorry about the wind, i can almost smell it, i can't wait, I am booked to go Varadero iberostar tainos in 2 weeks. I believe you, that nobody pays you, you just love sand, ocean and sun like me, but also affordable trip. Looks like Cuba needs more chickens to lay eggs. Breakfast for me is either eggs or lactose free milk. Probably not, but do you know any resorts in Varadero to have lactose free milk ? do they have gluten free bread(or have they heard of it, i guess rice will be the alternative)?
Tanks Mike I travel at least 20 time to Cuba going back in december . The food problem has started at least 6 years ago but this won't stop me from going. There's always something to eat. We're not going there for the food anyway. Like you say for under $1000 don't expect the food you would have in a sandals resort. But in Cuba you get the best beach in the world great service and fantastic people.
Hey buddy thank you for the update, friends and I are going to memories jibacoa in a few weeks. We been going there for years and we know the challenges Cuba is facing and I'm afraid to agree with you that this is the new norm. Bring soap, old clothes, shoes anything you can fit into your luggage to help people. Btw what are the sun glasses are you wearing?
I was there a few months ago and made a Video about that RESORT!!! We loved it!!! thats Great to take all those items!!! They are Tom Fords, sorry i don’t know the Model Number!!! WE LOVE THAT RESORT. HAVE FUN and give me the Update when you get back!! Mike
My question is about health care should you need it. My husband and i love cuba but this year our grown children and grandkids are coming on vacation with us. The moms have concerns about babies should they become ill. I didnt know what to tell them as we have no experiences in that area. Could you let me know what to expect should we need a dr or medication while there? Also we travelled to cayo coco and stayed at adult resort for 1500 for 2 for a week but where would be best for famalies ( 2, 10, 13 yrs kids?
When it come to health care sorry I’m not a travel Advisor and that can be complicated depending on the health matters Yes Cuba suffers from everything including health care and medicine
Another great video, thanks Mike! with all your travels to resorts in Cuba.. hypothetically, if you won a trip to go back to any adult only Cuba resort, which one would you go back too ? ((I’m considering memories caribe ((seen it’s a fav of yours and Jen’s)) or an adults only in varadero)) Thank you again!! 🎉
Do you see many Americans? We can’t stay at resorts, but want to come. Are we ok in late December/January? I’ve loved your videos! Bringing 3 generations 7 to 86 so excited! Going to be in Valedaro the last 3 days🎉
Thanks for the great info! When I was in Cayo Coco in August the airport was a bit of a gong show because the computers were down and they were manually checking in passengers for the return flight. We stood outside the airport for over 3hrs in line and the flight was delayed due to manually submitting the weight manifests for the flight. Is the airport still like that? Trying to decide on a last-minute trip to Cuba for NYE with the family and hubby was wondering about the airport experience. Thanks again!
There’s an old saying in the Caribbean about hurricanes….. “ June too soon , July stand by , September remember and October all over ‼️” Here it is , mid November ‼️
Let’s all remember that a lot of food comes from Spain ( Melia chain in Cuba is a big importer ) and they have had some major flooding there recently ‼️
Hi Dutchy! I was out by Antilla, Holguin province, ewhen the earthquake hit. Did not feel it. I did watch the news and saw the Cuban government mobilized resources immediately. I then went to Santiago on Thursday and the city appeared fully operational and people living their lives as usual, businesses, shops and restaurants operating as usual. Enjoy your trip.
i think people know enough what to espect from cuba! all together i have spent over 8 month in cuba in the last 20 years you will not starv ! but last time i went there ( Star fish vara) i told my self its the last time i go until the fix their s...t most of my Cuban friends were fortunat enough to have left to the USA , and the one who cat not leave and i have talk to seam pretty delusionated about the Government situation my QUESTION ARE THE RESORT ARE STILL FULL OF OVER AVRAGE RUSSIAN ?
Your questions are ? Like I stated in the video! People from all over the world the world Im not prejudice people travel from all areas and all walks of life!!! I don’t judge based on country or skin colour Or the government in power in a certain country!!!
@@Finding-Fish Boot licker answer i dont base my judgement on the color of people skin or country but on what the poor cuban tell me !!!!!!! and they all agree with me !!! plus what do i have to win in booking a trip on a resort full of brainwash drunk Russian ? in canada most of the travel agency discourage us from booking cuba for these reason i love cuban and all my cuban friend discourage me from going there again until they ger rit of the dictature !!!!
Sad I love Cuba But there was a reason we did not come down this fall We usually go twice a year Anyhow might as well be busy with my work. I'm just glad Trump won Looking forward to comedown in Washington as well
Ya, sorry. The last thing I want on vacation is no eggs, no butter, or no fries. Surviving on deli meats and cheese isn’t my idea of a good time. And no beers in the room fridge? What’s with that? These problems will never get solved as long as people continue to go.
It is not the first of your videos that I see. I do travel to Cuba often as well and I can not share your observations. As you said - it is all about the mindset. Unfortunately yours is much too optimistic and although you make an effort to make it sound realistic, but your opinions are misleading. The Cuban reality is that it is getting more and more difficult for any tourist to accept low standards, lack of food, extraordinary state of disrepairs and more frequent power blackouts in the resorts as well. And I find your optimist to be wrongly placed, because no matter how much you pay to be a guest in any of any the resorts, you expect some standards, which Cuba constantly does not deliver. You pay for it and you do not get it. If I had no reasons to come to Cuba as often as I do (at least once a month), I would avoid this country at all cost and I would strongly advice everyone else to consider other destinations to travel to.
LISTEN!!! you do you, I'm never telling anyone to come to CUBA, AND IF I WANT TO BE optimistic!!! I CAN it's called FREEDOM!!!! and I have that Choice!!!! this channel is based on tourism!!! For Travellers!!!!
@@Finding-Fish And as the tone of your replay suggest, you like to be always right. So have this freedom, but do not mislead others as you do just too often.
Cuba is fine if you take mutiple vacation a year...but if it your only vacation for the year its not worth risking having cuba problems like....power, food, water.....
Cuba is not for everyone!!! Yes if you’re the type of person that needs certain items!!! Consistency Yup don’t come here I’ve made over 100 videos about Cuba 🇨🇺 Warning people, showing people, explaining to people!!! It’s not a normal vacation destination!!! It’s a raw country!!! For those that get it!!! Amazing time!! But for others!!! Save your money 💰
Great information. We love cuba and we always know what to expect and are prepared always. Thanks mike for these videos we look forward to always seeing what's next. ❤
Thanks Mandah
Canadian plane companies should bring basic needs and food on every flight😊
You would think and in Cayo Largo I believe they do
Thank you for this vlog. We’re heading to white sands this upcoming Friday. Hope to someday meet up with you and Jen. Keep them coming!😊
Enjoy. Just came back from there. Had a wonderful time.
So true about resorts having different suppliers . Cuba is beautiful

Would love a live stream from Cuba. Love your videos, Mike. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely
Have fun
Sirenis Tropical that’s in Santa Maria?

Hi great videos with great information. Was wondering tho as a Canadian do you use canadian or American currency? Thanka
I bring both

Sometimes yes computer systems at the airport goes down but never to that extent
Wow sorry to hear
Going to Playa costa verde in Holguin on the 29th. I can live without alot of things but one thing I dislike is all those algeas 😮
We are going this Saturday. Did they have any issues with wifi and internet? Thanks.
Yes a few Times WIFI comes and Goes!!!

Yes!! For sure! As soon as Cuba series is complete 🩷

“ June too soon , July stand by , September remember and
October all over ‼️”

Love it
What resort is this at?
Iberostar Esmeralda Cayo Cruz
Let’s all remember that a lot of food comes from Spain ( Melia chain in Cuba is a big importer ) and they have had some major flooding there recently ‼️
Good point!!!
And remember youll pay 2 to 4X the price at other Caribbean resorts . Its youre decision
Plus no annoying Americans to deal with lol . That alone is worth no eggs lol 😅
Lol
Absolutely
Much more expensive
That earthquake concerned me , but it was way down on the South coast!
Hurricanes this late in the season? That’s really late !
Ya absolutely really late
Hopefully over

I don't know, But you can go to a Restaurant and buy food pretty inexpensive in Canadian Dollar terms!!!
@@Finding-Fish Thank you for your help. I appreciate it very much.

Ho complained go to ader place a pay 3000?+a safe place Cuba is safe beatuful people beatuful nature an pice
Ya, sorry. The last thing I want on vacation is no eggs, no butter, or no fries. Surviving on deli meats and cheese isn’t my idea of a good time.
And no beers in the room fridge? What’s with that?
These problems will never get solved as long as people continue to go.
Ya ok,
It is not the first of your videos that I see. I do travel to Cuba often as well and I can not share your observations. As you said - it is all about the mindset. Unfortunately yours is much too optimistic and although you make an effort to make it sound realistic, but your opinions are misleading. The Cuban reality is that it is getting more and more difficult for any tourist to accept low standards, lack of food, extraordinary state of disrepairs and more frequent power blackouts in the resorts as well. And I find your optimist to be wrongly placed, because no matter how much you pay to be a guest in any of any the resorts, you expect some standards, which Cuba constantly does not deliver. You pay for it and you do not get it. If I had no reasons to come to Cuba as often as I do (at least once a month), I would avoid this country at all cost and I would strongly advice everyone else to consider other destinations to travel to.
LISTEN!!! you do you, I'm never telling anyone to come to CUBA, AND IF I WANT TO BE optimistic!!! I CAN it's called FREEDOM!!!!
and I have that Choice!!!!
this channel is based on tourism!!! For Travellers!!!!
@@Finding-Fish And as the tone of your replay suggest, you like to be always right. So have this freedom, but do not mislead others as you do just too often.
Cuba is fine if you take mutiple vacation a year...but if it your only vacation for the year its not worth risking having cuba problems like....power, food, water.....
Cuba is not for everyone!!!
Yes if you’re the type of person that needs certain items!!! Consistency
