Hey big fella, we like Manzanillo. Just learned that Sunwing is landing at Holguin for Manzanillo. The bus ride is a tender 5hrs one way! So you get 10hrs on the bus. Plane arrives you board the bus and get to resort at 1 in the morning, you just ate a day of the trip. Likely will shut Manzanillo.
Hi Mike, It's Henry again. We just got back from the Ensenachos we had a good trip. Nice resort getting a little worn but still beautiful. Keep up the reviews and trips we enjoy them. We started recommending people to watch your channel before traveling to Cuba and elsewhere. Next month we are heading somewhere not sure yet. Going to watch your videos on Asia. Stay safe and enjoy.
That’s good and yes!!! The Resort is beautiful but a little tired!!!! But great bones!!! Beautiful beaches!!! Thanks for the feed back!!! I’m in Lamar Beach making a resort video right now!!!! Coming soon Mike
@@Finding-Fish It's not for everyone, but if you can understand what's going on, it's not hard to fall in love with Cuba and everything it does have to offer.
Keep up the awesome work, my friend. I can't wait to go to cuba. In exactly 13 day at this time, I should be arriving to memory caribe.for a lovely vacation and celebrate 20 years together with my wife and our first real honeymoon. Seeing 10 years ago, we had destination weddings in dominican, as much fun that it was with my family and friends we never really had a honeymoon. We will fix that this year 😅. Just 10 years late lol. I also really wished we were leaving today when woke up and temptress in Cantley Quebec was a boring-15 celcius.
I recently discovered your channel and I subscribed, I love your content! Were there any excursions that went outside the resort? Ie. exploring Havana etc. I know it’s far, but curious if they offer anything like that. Thank you
Every Resort offers all kinds of excursions based on all types of Budgets!!! and they are in every Lobby daily explaining in detail what they have and prices and times thanks for subscribing to our channel lots of gret things coming Mike
Thanks for posting this Mike. I have never been to Cuba before and after reading reviews on this resort I am concerned. When did you go and have you experienced food shortages or bedbugs as the reviewers have posted about?
Hi Mike, We just booked the Ensenachos for next week. We been to Cuba around 20 times and this will be our third time since Covid. Really enjoy your videos. Prices have really dropped this week for Cuba. I'll let you know how things were at the resort. We know what to expect as long there is coffee it will be fine. Enjoy you new adventure to Thailand can't wait gor the videos.
I just had someone reach out to me from this resort and they are having a good time!!!!they went in with low expectations and are very happy!!! prices are great!!!! I wish i was flying down to CUBA right NOW!!!!! But i will be back In Cuba in April!!!!! Can't wait!!!!Thailand will be great, all packed up Fighting out Saturday!!! please join me!!! have fun at the Ensenachos!!!!!I loved that RESORT!!!!! Mike😀
Very nice, thank you sir. Cayo Santa Maria all the way ! Just have a question, would you rate / recommend: Iberostar Selection Ensenachos, or Melia Las Dunas, or Playa Cayo Santa Maria !
We've done random resorts in Cuba over the last 6 years, and found this one to have the nicest beaches, we stayed at Coral level (better food and service) but the beaches at the main resort are much nicer. Don't forget, if you're staying on Coral side,you get a free 30 minute massage. Keep up the good work, my wife and I love your videos .
We are planning our first trip ever to Cuba for 2 weeks and are tossed between Iberostar Ensenachos Coral Club or Varadero. We are in our early 60's and love to snorkel and just relax by the pool or beach. I have watched several of your videos. You do an amazing job. Did you notice if there were any excursions available to book.
@@Finding-Fish No worries, I am fully aware of the circumstances in Cuba. As long as the resort itself is clean and well maintained, we are going for the beach , pool and sun.
❤🇨🇺 Fantastico video mi amigo. I still need to edit and post up my videos from my stay at the Hotel Playa Cayo Santa Maria Resort..but that's another story..jaja. Did you get a chance to play and beach volleyball..I didn't see a net during your video. Were you lucky enough to snorkel at the resort...how was it ? Gracias Ernie, Asiah and Kobe
Hi Mike I absolutely love your channel. You have a great attitude and your videos are always informative and entertaining. We are planning a trip to Cuba in August and can’t decide between Iberostar Selection Ensenachos and Diamond Club at Memories Flamenco. Both are the same price. I’ve seen your videos on both resorts and they both e tick all our boxes. Not sure if you have any insight otherwise it might come down to a coin flip. Cheers!
I believe that Flamenco might be working on the Buffet so it’s out of Order, means it’s just in another location!!! Great Beach at Flamenco, it’s in need of a few repairs to the resort, Paint clean up, maintenance!!! Ensenachos!!’ Big resort, I would stay in the Spa side!!! Great beach, I had a good room!’ Resort probably needs some maintenance!! But with all that I would say Ensenachos!!! Hopefully it’s still good as per my last visit!!! But for the price!!! Probably a good deal
Hi Mike! By any chance do the transport buses come equipped with a bathroom if not, are we able to use the bathroom at other hotels during pick up/ drop off? That is my biggest concern with booking in Cayo Santa Maria. TIA
Hi Mike, fantastic informative videos - thank you! Quick ‘opinion’ question… trying to decide between Iberostar Selection Ensenachos or Sanctuary at Grand Memories for a 5 day getaway with my 21 yr old son on Dec 15/23. Any recommendations on which resort might be better suited for a fun loving 20 something? Any advice appreciated.

Looks beautiful! I was worried after reading the reviews on Tripcentral but you've changed my mind! I'll be adding this resort to my 'To-Do' list!
I loved it but I also understand Cuba to the core

@@jenniferfisher4912 Yeah I could call in sick for an entire week(bad case of COVID) 😁😅👍
Thanks for the video! Is the beach at this resort better than the one at Memories Caribe Cayo Coco? Trying to decide between the two
Craibe is closer to the airport
Very nice beach small resort adults only!!!!
I also have a few more videos coming out and the resort are great as well

Thanks for making your reviews, Mike! We might go to Cuba this April for the first time! Enchanachos is on top of our list! Great reviews! Keep it up!
Very nice, thank you sir. Cayo Santa Maria all the way !
Just have a question, would you rate / recommend: Iberostar Selection Ensenachos, or Melia Las Dunas, or Playa Cayo Santa Maria !
I’ve heard great things about las Dumas
Heading back to Santa Maria in 4 weeks

Ohhh wow
Didn’t know that!!!
Corel Level out Saturday
Looks great Mike!
Hey thanks so much!!!

please if you come to Cuba just to remember that the country has no consequences, one day they have it one day they don’t.

Hopefully it’s still good as per my last visit!!!

Probably a good deal
I knew I could count on you. Just the sort of additional info I was hoping for. Thanks Mike…Cheers!
Great video. I was there 5 times in the past. Wonderful place, great people. Do you have any idea if the resort is still open 12 months/year?
I think so Jerry
Hi Mike! By any chance do the transport buses come equipped with a bathroom if not, are we able to use the bathroom at other hotels during pick up/ drop off? That is my biggest concern with booking in Cayo Santa Maria. TIA
Yes if your going to Santa Maria!!!!!!
But ask before you get on that it works!!!!
Mike
Much appreciated
Does Santa Maria have it’s own airport? ..and how long I’d the bus ride that you mentioned?
no unfortunately
You would land in Santa Clara airport and the bus ride to Cayo Santa Maria resorts is about 1.5 hours
Hi Mike,
fantastic informative videos - thank you! Quick ‘opinion’ question… trying to decide between Iberostar Selection Ensenachos or Sanctuary at Grand Memories for a 5 day getaway with my 21 yr old son on Dec 15/23. Any recommendations on which resort might be better suited for a fun loving 20 something? Any advice appreciated.
I loved Ensenachos!!!’ I just liked the vibe!!! And the beautiful beaches
Is it allowed to fish around the area or maybe walk a little farther?
its always best to Ask about Fishing!!!make sure your not in some protected area!!!!nature Preserve
Is that the coral or selection side?
Selections side
Nothing like cayo largo
Love it
Can you give me your secret on how to travel all the time
ITS my passion, i love it
25lb incline press. Wow 😂
Where do you get local food? All your videos so far show hamburgers and donuts stuff like that
Food important!
