    i have a trip to varadero last wednesday the only reason i didnt cancel my trip is because of you mike the moment that i found out that you booked a trip to varadero tuesday i know that everything will be alright and yes i had a very nice vacation thanks to you mike

    Mike, it is nice to see someone with the exact same sentiment about Cuba. it is rare. Your comment at 22:20 is just perfect. I booked my trip in 2 weeks with my even kids before seeing your video. In Cuba you will ALWAYS get amazing weather, the best beaches, omelettes, cappuccinos, tropical fruits, best cigars in the world and the friendliest and kindest people on the planet.

      @@silviapiedra8920 Sylvia, people leave in every country for better opportunities. Venezuelans, Colombians, Mexicans, Guatemalans.. at rates higher than Cubans. My father left eastern Europe to Canada and his standard of living went up 10X. I then left my hometown and my standard of living went up another 3x. I have been to Cuba 15 times and I have lived with the people. I am not naive. At this point I would move to Cuba permanently and I think a lot of foreigners would love to escape 50% income tax, carbon tax, property tax, school tax... I would 100% rather give that all to the Cubans. Also, not everyone in Cuba has family in Miami that can send them a lifeline. For many, the foreigners are the lifeline and they appreciate us a lot. I have helped so many families and it disheartens me when people say that I should not help. Cuba will one day be an emerging market having partnerships with BRIC nations, solar farms for power, and a lot of good quality, arable land. They need some stability and care, not negativity. I am hoping that Article 50 c) passes and affluent foreigners can finally settle in, help the economy and move things forward. eltoque.com/en/the-cuban-regime-seeks-to-offer-permanent-residency-as-an-incentive-to-attract-capital

    My wife and I have stayed at Sanctuary in Cayo Santa Maria 6 times and loved every trip.
    We are both in our 70's and have never, ever felt nervous about our safety, the resort, the food, etc. We are heading back in January 2025 and will renew old friendships with the staff. Never gone hungry and have always felt like it was our second home. The beach is second to none and the people are fantastic.
    Looking forward to our 2025 trip.

    Thank you mike for this honest, open video, we booked our resort in cayo coco the week of the black out, everything you talked about was right on point. Nothing like power outages (which we get here in New Brunswick) or some food items not available will ever stop us from going to Cuba. And your videos are the best and a must for anyone considering Cuba as a vacation. Yes not everyone will like Cuba, and that’s great we have choices and freedom to choose where we go. Thanks Mike.

    Love your views on this video. I agree Cubans have endured a lot, and they still persevere. They are strong and selfless people and will go out of their way to make you feel happy. I agree with you, the haters/complainers should keep their negativity to themselves. Don’t cancel your trip, as Mike said, the majority of the hotels have a backup generator and there’s always some kind of food, drinks and yes a beautiful beach. What more can you ask for. Take a chance you won’t regret it. ❤

    Was in Veradero (Sanctuary memories) from Oct 12 to Oct 23rd. Yep no power, but we still had eggs and bacon every day throughout the black out. On the third day our bar tender called around to get us ice. At home they had no running water, no hydro and she is pulling in favours to get us ice. Think of that when you get a snide look from a waiter/waitress. They are just a different breed of people. No looting, they just pull together, and they try to make you happy. Awesome video. Yes will be going back.

    I also don't watch MSM TV/News so didn't really know what has been going on. I watch you tube vids, etc but also with a grain of salt. I have been to Cuba 10 + times and agree 100% with everything you said. I was hoping that you would explain what the actual issue is with the power grid going down. In July we went to Negril the week after the hurricane. We struggled with whether we cancel or go. We were concerned with using up valuable Island resources. We decided to go and so happy we did. The locals and businesses that were still open were grateful to have us and our tourist dollars. We were in the dark for 3 days at our resort, but it was one of our best trips.

    Thank you very much for asking the people if they want tourists or not.
    My annual November travel to cuba is approaching and i was wondering what to do with respect to the Cuban people.
    If I go, am I using resources they can’t have for themselves but I keep contributing to the biggest part of Cuba ‘s economy or if i don’t go I just make harder for them to make a living.
    Seems like they wants us (me) to go there and enjoy their wonderful sun and fantastic beaches.

    Hi Mike,
    Appreciate you're remarks!
    Ironically we were to travel to Royalton Cayo Santa Maria on the 22nd of Oct but realized in the morning that they were still struggling with power supply and only had really 10% of even Havana up and running.
    So I made the conscious decision to cancel even though I would take a significant lose, that being no cancellation insurance, but sure enough its been "good" ever since.
    No major regrets as I'm looking for stability!
    Have a 2 week booked and planned again for same destination in December and like your remarks regarding the "Que sera. sera" attitude!

      Here we have hydro 24 hours a day we could have a power outage due to any weather condition but in Cuba there have been black outs since Castro got the power and only one power plant is working and those dictators don't care about anybody including tourists the resorts have generators but there is not enough fuel either because those dictators have borrowed millions of dollars from different countries and they never paid them back this is the problem all the money they get from tourism they put it in their pockets. No tourist should go there because the people don't get any benefit from it .

Question for ya, we;ve booked our family of 4 trip Dec 3 to Grand Memories Veradero. Thanks again for helping us make the best choice for us based on your amazing thorough and non biased view of the resort. I do have a personal question to ask. Is there any way I can buy a Finding Fish t-shirt or hoodie like the ones you wear in your videos. Id like to support the channel and represent at the same time.
    Keep up the amazing work and we would love to see some Mexico/Dominican Resort videos if your feeling the need!!!

    Thanks but no thanks Mike. It’s a 3rd world country at the best of times.

    Add hurricane threats, shortages, blackouts and rude foreigners.
    We’ll pass.
    But we appreciate your thoughts.
    .. It’s a big world out there.
    We are going to Panama next month and Mazatlán Mexico for a month in January & February.
    Many places without all those issues we can visit!
    Don’t get use wrong. We liked it there.
    Beaches aren’t everything.
    Things have changed. Rude visitors from other countries seem to be making the locals less friendly & we don’t blame them.
    Have you been to Roatan or Belize / Caye caulker ?
    There’s a reason why 1/5 of Cubans have left the country.
    I’d like to see you explore other islands.
    On the affordable side.

      From Cuba!!!
      Things are stable and fine!!!
      Hard to believe but true!!!
      I believe they closed Grand Memories and Sanctuary!!!!
      They sent them all to Grand Aston!!!
      Subscriber at the airport were telling me this, because they booked the Sanctuary but ended up there!!!
      Free of charge of course!!!
      They said the resort was amazing!!!!
      But that’s what I was told!!!
      Regardless you will be totally looked after!!!!

    Well said Mike. We love Cuba have been twice already this year and will be back Nov 13th to Iberostar Bella Vista Varadero . We were a bit anxious about the situation but since we were 3 weeks out we had faith they would get it sorted out. We always go with a relaxed expectation in regards to food, it's Cuba we get it. Other than that you can't beat the price and location. The beaches are the best. It's our way of supporting the beautiful people of Cuba....without the resorts they would have nothing.
