I am going in March and can't wait. I am not listening to all the negative comments by people. I am going for the BEACH!! Thanks for all the great reviews! I love watching your videos.
Hi! We remember you! We were there the same time this video was taken and even had met each other at the beach and around the resort :) A 🤰🏻family with a little funny girl :) Great videos! Thank you for sharing ☺
Hello Mike & Jenn, We just returned on Sunday from a week at Memories Flamenco, what a BEAUTIFUL place !!! The beach is breathtaking!!!!The staff were AMAZING, they made our stay VERY enjoyable. Julie and Jenny in the buffet were the BEST. We miss them already!!! The bartenders, servers and grounds keepers were WONDERFUL too! The resort is alittle rundown, but they were continuously repairing and working to improve during our stay. Our room was always very clean ! The food is so so... took a day or two to figure out what was good and what to avoid. They ran out of eggs and butter one day, so we just had to adjust. Not the end of the world !!!! The beer, rum and hospitality NEVER ran out! We didn't do the diamond club and were still VERY satisfied with everything. Just wanted to thank you both for all of the videos that you have done about Cayo Coco. They are all very honest and informative! Just before leaving I made sure to go to The Cigar Bar and signed your guest book :) Hoping to return to Cayo Coco in the future. Thanks again !!!!
We will be there in January. First time at this resort but have been to Cayo Coco before. Looks like a great place. Beach looks good for our kids as well. Great video
Your Kidds will love the beach and Bites the 24 snack bar you can also check out our other Flamenco video!!! I have another video coming out tomorrow and next week!!!
We just booked Memories Flamenco based on your RUclips videos. We are an average couple that just want to get away for a bit of peace and quiet. I know we won’t be disappointed. We fly out January 31. I will be back in touch when we get back.
The Beach will be Beautiful and if you watched all my Videos you know what you getting into, Bring bug spray and any essentials snack condiments you might need!!! I have a video out Wednesday ,Survivor Cuba video, Funny and helps!!! Mike
Great videos Mike you give great information and details on all your videos. I was lucky enough to meet you in the lobby while you was at memories. The English guy 👍
@@Finding-Fish yes that’s right air Canada and from London! We walked to the corner of the Peninsula lovely and peaceful beaches and Crystal clear Water perfect! I hope others find your videos very helpful thanks again 👍
Great information!! Thanks so much!! We are looking so forward to visiting this resort at Christmas! Just confirmed our booking today ...family of nine❤
Just watched a few of the Flamenco Resort videos that you guys posted and we are now gonna book this resort leaving for Cuba in 2weeks thanks for the reviews
It is a beautiful hotel, I've been there and for the price you paid the returns are great. It is a very familiar hotel, shosen by families with little kids, very safe and healthy environment. The beach is beautiful. Recommend for everyone
I absolutely loved your video on memories flamenco I'm going January 18 for 15 days but I booked hotel playa coco wished I woulda gone here oh well next time. And when you film at el Patriaca Varadero you will love it I stayed there December 2021 14 days in the privilege section was upgraded for free. When your there tell Ernesto the gardener Tammy in niagara falls canada 🇨🇦 says Hola....
Awesome video!! So happy to see it! Not sure if u remember but I was there with my dad and sister and we saw you a few times filming and stuff, video turned out awesome 😄😄
I love the Cuba videos. So much better than seeing the pictures/videos on the travel sites. You get a real feel for the location and an honest review. I hope to do some in the future as well. I feel there are not enough Cuba resort review videos
His reviews are not honest. He was upgraded for free to Diamond Club and has a golden branclet .of course his review will be positive.... He paid 700$ but wasn't a regular hotel guest because they upgraded him to DC. Shame on you.
Great video man. I've been to memories many times. Every time I heard shortages talk and I only ever experienced it a couple of times. The issues were fixed in a few days too, so it wasn't an issue. Vacation is all what you make it :P Nice editing.
So jealous! In March there was no bread until day 4 , no cheese , snack bar had fries and hot dogs and they were off and on out of beer. Beautiful beach. Glad they’re back on track!
depending on the season. i use a travel agent in my home town. i will be post it on my future website with all my best deals stay tuned please subscribe if you haven’t already
@@Finding-Fish you said the resort was full this week (or maybe it was last).....I'm assuming it's fully booked when I'm there prime travel week over Xmas. Was there any issue with over crowding at the pool or beach? Lack of chairs etc? Long lines?
@@zevbergman5252 you want have an issue at the pool or at the beach!!! I was there the first part of December!!! You won’t have an issue, not everyone can afford to travel at or before Christmas “hense the seat sale” Have fun I hope the video helped out
We plan on going End of Feb, get out of the cold. Will be there 2 weeks. It would be good to have a video of what to expect out of pocket here. IE tips, products to give away (does everyone give tooth brushes for instance... ) etc. I don't plan on converting our $CAN is that going to be an issue with loonies and toonies? Great video you got me pumped by our upcoming vacation with the family.
I usually just give $5.00 tips I typically have the same services everywhere and I just tip like every other time , Kind of thing!! But loonies and townnies works
Just back from 4 nights at Melia Jardines, great trip , weather good, People fantastic as always. They are still dealing with shortages, it will take awhile for them to get fully back on their feet. Wonder how the other resorts are dealing with the issue. Snorkelling stingray sighting just off the beach.
Great video, thank you! What are some specific items, medicines, food, clothing, etc. you think Cubans would appreciate the most from a Canadian tourist? We read about "luxury" items to them like spices, milk powder, candy, etc.
yes, all items in all Cuba are hard to come by, so honestly if your allowed to put it in your luggage bring it. Make sure to check the Cuba customs list. Never bring forbidden items. have fun
Beautiful! Flamenco is one of my favourite resorts in Cuba, but I have not been there in a few years. I'm super jealous of that deal -- we definitely don't see those prices from Winnipeg anymore! Looks like they've done a great job maintaining (if not upgrading) the place. This is probably where we'll go this winter *IF* we can find a week that still has Diamond Club available.
Great job on your videos enjoy your honesty. I assume your travelling with Sunwing. You always mention the great deals you get but not with who. Just curious
I love cuba love to go there for a long time some issues with my husband's health now he is OK by miracle git your videos watch it most of your cuba videos, what is the cheapest time to travel as we are seniors
Really enjoy your videos, they are getting us excited for our trip! Can you tell me if they have tea or milk alternatives there? I'm not expecting them but would be glad if they did!
Can I walk from the Pullman to the flamenco along the beach? I don’t mind having to wear beach shoes and doing a little climbing! Thanks for the video. I’ve watched a few of them so far
Mike has a video walking from the Flamenco to the Caribe. I think he mentioned that it took him ~1.5 hrs. Now the distance is ~4 times thus you should plan for whole day to return.
Hi Mike! I’ve just subscribed to your channel. My husband and I find your videos very informative and fun to watch! ! Thanks for sharing. 👍 We’re going to Memories Flamenco in Cayo Coco @ the end of January. 🏝️ By the looks of it you both seem to love it there! ❤ Could you tell us what currency is the best to bring? We are coming from Toronto. Thanks! 😃
I bring CDN $5's and $10. and also USD $1 bills they all work the best lunch and dinners i typical tip with $5 or $10 depending, and $1 USD for drinks every so often. Enjoy it!!! the beach is amazing, thanks for subscribing, i will be back in Cuba later on in the Spring making a lot of content all over Cuba. watch out for it. Also i spent a lot of time in Europe making content. thanks for reaching out and Subscribing I appreciate it.
Love your blog, so candid and informative. We have just booked 7 days March 21 2023...so excited. We notice that you always upgrade to Diamond club but seem to be in the standard room. My question is , can we upgrade to Diamond club and not pay the cost of a suite as we don't require that much space. In other words, can we keep the room that is included with our package at 00 cost and just pay the added amount for Diamond club? which hopefully would not be $70 a night pr person. Thank you, I would love to hear back with any help you may have on the subject. Wendy
As for Diamond Club!!! All the rooms are the same!!! The only upgrade you can do is get a suite, There is a video of it in ore of our vlogs, as for the rooms they are all standard, text Rosie a few days before you fly out and ask for Building 2 or 3 OceanView
@@Finding-Fish Awesome, thank you so much for replying so quickly. We are so excited. This is my first vacation in over 40 years...I'm sure I will enjoy every second of it as I love,love,love the beach. Thak you again Wendy
Wow! My husband and I love your videos and Memories Flamenco! We haven't been there since 2018 and with the new currency, just curious what is the more favourable tip option for them? Canadian or American? Thanks Finding Fish!
A comment & a question. I've been to Cayo Coco a bunch of times, actually going to the Pullman end of January 2023. There's a new resort that just opened up in the area available through Air Canada called the Grand Asto Cayo Paredon. You fly into the Jardines del Rey Airport, but your bus takes you to Cayo Paredon not Cayo Coco. It's about 45 minutes from the airport. Just wondering if you would consider going there for a review? I think you'd be the 1st youtuber to upload a video of it.
@@Finding-Fish Thanks for considering my suggestion 😇. On a related note, your uploads are very high quality, Since the resort I mentioned to you is new and not part of the well known Cayo Coco / Cayo Guillermo area, I'm sure they'd compensate you with a "gift in kind" for your upload....if you know what I mean.
@@stevenmaw7491 You would think so But Cuba is very Complicated and right now I don’t make any money doing this!!! Hopefully in the future But right now I just need subscribers to help me get in the right direction
How hard is it to get clean drinking water at all hours of the day? and would it be worth it to bring extra condiments? How much should you bring for tips over a week?
Drinking water is plentiful, i lug a mug, or have them refill my water bottle. The resort i was just at, newest video, lots of Condiments. I like to tip, but tip what you wish $5-10-15 per day or what ever is in your heart
@@Finding-Fish Wow thank you so much for a reply! and a super fast one at that! I saw a deal to get to this resort for $600 CDN per person x2 for one week including flights and transits to and from airport. It would be my first time traveling to a resort and one of few times traveling in general. Seems like a great deal, even if the weather (and food) isn't perfect this time of year.
Thank you for mentioning wheel chair accessibility although it looks like it might be tricky to maneuver a manual chair, lol. Do the buildings have elevators? Also, it looks like it is very far from the beach to the ocean. I can walk some distance but it is much harder on uneven surfaces. Do you find this resort to have a lot of walking distance between say the rooms and restaurants, beach etc? Do you (or anyone reading) know of a more senior friendly resort? A smaller, quiet compact resort would be perfect, lol, if such a place exists. Have never been to Cuba but live in Oshawa, Ontario and it seems like an affordable place to holiday.
Memories Caribe is a much smaller resort and easy to get to the beach with a wheelchair I’m heading there in 2 weeks to make some videos and I will show wheelchair access
Hello When did you last go to Cayo Coco.. We are heading out in January 2024. At Memories Caribe. Booked! How's the current food situation? This is a older video.
The place looks like a great bargain. However, I usually steer clear of places that are "family friendly". No interest in kids shrieking and screaming all over the place.
Hi man ! I already texted you once but .... I just asked you if they have gluten free options I already know what I am suppose to eat so I m talking about gluten free croissant or bred cakes pasta etc etc...... thank you 👍
I would say no!!! They struggle from day to day with basics like bread and wheat flour products!!! Maybe in Mexico they would offer that or very high end but I haven’t seen it anywhere in my travels in Cuba
Ive been watching your vids for awhile now. Is this your job man? How donyou get to do all this stuff, all the time Hahah. Have you gone to starfish quarta palmas varadero before?
Just came back waiting for your latest as we met there. Place is infested with flies and mosquitos. People are great and tried their best. Certainly not the same place that many have experienced. Shortages are back. No wine no cups for drinks just disappointing. If you plan a visit now don't wear shorts and take lots of repellant. Flights are deeply discounted. Unfortunately we paid full price
Hey Chris I use Trip central and a private agent who I know. When it come to seat sales it’s all about timing and knowing when to book. I will be making a website soon and I will be listing all the deals I find. The only problem is they sell out fast. I’m heading to Cuba Monday $775 for 6 days to make more content at different resorts. Stay tuned and thanks for the comment and reaching out
Have been at the resort 2 weeks ago. Very poor service and the place is so dated. Would not suggest anyone to go there. The ribs and rice are very dry, mostly pork that not possible to chew. No sea food. The order at the bars takes for ever. Every day something is out.
great video again.....thxs for the updates...we are thinking about a cuba vaction in the new year..we went to punta cana majestic mirage last feb....we got a great deal,,,now the prices are unreal and cuba looks way more affordable......yes its alot differant i see by your videos than say punta cana and a 5 star resort we stayed at but honeslty it was way above my scale lol we are simple hard working people from ontario.....looking for some sun ..again in winter keep up the great work ...if you ever get board lolcheck out he videos i made from our stay at the majestic..day 1 to day 7 lol
all buildings at this resort had sewage backup issues, specifically building 2 an 3 which were the "Diamond Club". We were a group of 45ppl and no room had toilet paper, or clean towels or bedsheets and there was no food (not a surprise). Plastic cups for drinks were being reused, no beer, no wine. So many Russians and sex trafficking groups, do not leave your children unattended, they're EVERYWHERE.
I was there in April for 1 week thank goodness. Got food poisoning due to hundreds of flies in all the restaurants ,covering all food. Shower didn’t work, toilet didn’t flush, and tap in sink leaked. Stay home. Save your money. Cuba is not ready for tourists. Been so many times but will not ever go again. All the staff have their hands out for tips and still don’t give any service.
Thanks Mike, really enjoyed the video. We are going in April 11/24 and have diamond club.
Hey
Amazing
I wish you all the best

I have travelled with Sunwing so many times but lately all the deal have been with Air Transat
Under cutting Sunwing
When you go out for south, it is for the beach mostly, and beach in Cuba are hard to beat. Don't be afraid go outside the hotel and try some locals.

A comment & a question.
I've been to Cayo Coco a bunch of times, actually going to the Pullman end of January 2023.
There's a new resort that just opened up in the area available through Air Canada called the Grand Asto Cayo Paredon. You fly into the Jardines del Rey Airport, but your bus takes you to Cayo Paredon not Cayo Coco. It's about 45 minutes from the airport. Just wondering if you would consider going there for a review? I think you'd be the 1st youtuber to upload a video of it.
Hey I might consider it!!!
I will put it on the lust
@@Finding-Fish Thanks for considering my suggestion 😇. On a related note, your uploads are very high quality, Since the resort I mentioned to you is new and not part of the well known Cayo Coco / Cayo Guillermo area, I'm sure they'd compensate you with a "gift in kind" for your upload....if you know what I mean.

You would think so
But Cuba is very Complicated and right now I don’t make any money doing this!!!
Hopefully in the future
But right now I just need subscribers to help me get in the right direction
Wow ! How did you score that deal? Assume you are travelling solo. I must as well for next trip so again How, where?
I'm great at finding deals, there are usually great deals in the Fall, November Early December
How hard is it to get clean drinking water at all hours of the day? and would it be worth it to bring extra condiments? How much should you bring for tips over a week?
Drinking water is plentiful, i lug a mug, or have them refill my water bottle. The resort i was just at, newest video, lots of Condiments. I like to tip, but tip what you wish $5-10-15 per day or what ever is in your heart
@@Finding-Fish Wow thank you so much for a reply! and a super fast one at that! I saw a deal to get to this resort for $600 CDN per person x2 for one week including flights and transits to and from airport. It would be my first time traveling to a resort and one of few times traveling in general. Seems like a great deal, even if the weather (and food) isn't perfect this time of year.
Thank you for mentioning wheel chair accessibility although it looks like it might be tricky to maneuver a manual chair, lol. Do the buildings have elevators? Also, it looks like it is very far from the beach to the ocean. I can walk some distance but it is much harder on uneven surfaces. Do you find this resort to have a lot of walking distance between say the rooms and restaurants, beach etc? Do you (or anyone reading) know of a more senior friendly resort? A smaller, quiet compact resort would be perfect, lol, if such a place exists. Have never been to Cuba but live in Oshawa, Ontario and it seems like an affordable place to holiday.
Memories Caribe is a much smaller resort and easy to get to the beach with a wheelchair
I’m heading there in 2 weeks to make some videos and I will show wheelchair access
@@Finding-Fish thank you 🙏
Nice video Mike, how are the Mosquito issue now. In September it was too much hope its different now in December 🤔
it was so Windy the entire time i didn’t even see a fly
Absolutely none!!! But it was very windy 🌬 very windy
For $700.00 it's very good. Go for the sun and beaches
Yes totally
I wish I was there now
I paid $3000.perWeek in Aruba. Ate at Mac Donald's no meals. Ha ha ha. 👍👍

Hello
When did you last go to Cayo Coco.. We are heading out in January 2024. At Memories Caribe. Booked! How's the current food situation? This is a older video.
i was there in October and heading back in December
The place looks like a great bargain. However, I usually steer clear of places that are "family friendly". No interest in kids shrieking and screaming all over the place.
Memories caribe is adult only with the most amazing beach I’ve ever seen. Has a coral reef to the left of the resort just past the next resort
Hey! Can you confirm if they have any frozen drinks. Looking to books and it’s something my daughter would enjoy!
Flamenco or Caribe?
Looks really nice. Wife and l are thinking of going there in Dec. Just wondering if you have anything on the Colonial .Like the VIP room?
No sorry Dave I don’t!!
Since you are frequently there- are there any specific items that are wanted from the people who work there that we can bring for them?
Just Tip them.
Hello how u book Diamond I don’t it online Iam trying to book
If you don’t see it!!! That’s means it’s probably full!!!
Try when you get to the Resort
Hi man ! I already texted you once but .... I just asked you if they have gluten free options I already know what I am suppose to eat so I m talking about gluten free croissant or bred cakes pasta etc etc...... thank you 👍
I would say no!!!
They struggle from day to day with basics like bread and wheat flour products!!!
Maybe in Mexico they would offer that or very high end but I haven’t seen it anywhere in my travels in Cuba
Is it possible to buy a Cubacel/ETECSA SIM card at the hotel?
i don't really know!!!sorry
Ive been watching your vids for awhile now. Is this your job man? How donyou get to do all this stuff, all the time Hahah. Have you gone to starfish quarta palmas varadero before?
Hey Brother!!!
Pretty much!!!
No haven’t domes Star Fish
Can you tell me if they have adjoining rooms
Actually I don’t know that but you!!! Sorry but a great question
next time i'm there i will definitely find out
Just came back waiting for your latest as we met there. Place is infested with flies and mosquitos. People are great and tried their best. Certainly not the same place that many have experienced. Shortages are back. No wine no cups for drinks just disappointing. If you plan a visit now don't wear shorts and take lots of repellant. Flights are deeply discounted. Unfortunately we paid full price
That to bad Andy!!!
thanks for the info and update
Hi Mike, who do you book with to get a deal like that at the Flamenco?
Hey Chris I use Trip central and a private agent who I know.
When it come to seat sales it’s all about timing and knowing when to book.
I will be making a website soon and I will be listing all the deals I find. The only problem is they sell out fast.
I’m heading to Cuba Monday $775 for 6 days to make more content at different resorts. Stay tuned and thanks for the comment and reaching out
@@Finding-Fish thank you. Meant to ask, did you notice a pool table there?
Mike what is the web page you use to book an hotel in cuba?
i Like TripCental
Enjoy
There is a huge shortage of food fuel and pretty much everything its just all off the resorts
Hi Mike, I know you’re not gay but you are gorgeous! You eyes are so blue! They take my breath away! I just subscribed! 🥰
Hey pal! This is travel channel not gay channel so get the hell out pervert!
Have been at the resort 2 weeks ago. Very poor service and the place is so dated. Would not suggest anyone to go there. The ribs and rice are very dry, mostly pork that not possible to chew. No sea food. The order at the bars takes for ever. Every day something is out.
Thanks for letting me know!!!
Sorry to hear it
great video again.....thxs for the updates...we are thinking about a cuba vaction in the new year..we went to punta cana majestic mirage last feb....we got a great deal,,,now the prices are unreal and cuba looks way more affordable......yes its alot differant i see by your videos than say punta cana and a 5 star resort we stayed at but honeslty it was way above my scale lol we are simple hard working people from ontario.....looking for some sun ..again in winter keep up the great work ...if you ever get board lolcheck out he videos i made from our stay at the majestic..day 1 to day 7 lol
thanks
all buildings at this resort had sewage backup issues, specifically building 2 an 3 which were the "Diamond Club". We were a group of 45ppl and no room had toilet paper, or clean towels or bedsheets and there was no food (not a surprise). Plastic cups for drinks were being reused, no beer, no wine. So many Russians and sex trafficking groups, do not leave your children unattended, they're EVERYWHERE.
What!!! I'm going September 17th😅 Is it really that bad 😢
For today's prices, $700 is for free!!
Absolutely 👍 💯 agree 👍
Did you pay 705$ for diamond club of they upgraded you for free. Ha ha
I was there in April for 1 week thank goodness. Got food poisoning due to hundreds of flies in all the restaurants ,covering all food. Shower didn’t work, toilet didn’t flush, and tap in sink leaked. Stay home. Save your money. Cuba is not ready for tourists. Been so many times but will not ever go again. All the staff have their hands out for tips and still don’t give any service.
Sorry to hear that!!!!
Cuba goes up and down!!!!
I get it!!!
Mike how are you? Just wondering what text number I use to contact Rosie or do I just call the resort and ask for her
Sincerely
Mike teed
Email the resort and ask for Rosie’s Email or check out the hotels website
Enjoy
$700 still to much for cuba
Flight,hotel,food,drinks for 7day for 700$ in December. That's a very good price for winter time .
