- We Find an incredible travel deal to Varadero Cuba in the 2nd Week of December and decide to Check It Out. The Resort is very big, the Coffee bar was great and the Nativa beach resort was a total Surprise. We enjoyed our Stay even though there were the typical Cuban issues.

Another great video. I've been putting off travel due to cost, but even I can afford this vacation.
Hey thanks Doug!!!
I appreciate it
Awesome stuff.
Thanks Matthew I appreciate it!!!
Thank you so much for your honest review of this resort. We just upgraded to the Alegance room based on your video. I was getting worried based on some recent TripAdvisor reviews but your videos have given me a renewed confidence with my choice. Sad to hear about the lack of seating at the beach and pool but I'm sure we'll manage. We are aware of the expectations to have in Cuba and appreciate your take!
We have stayed at the Alegance room before!!!!
Much nicer than the room we just had!!!
The lobby and Mike’s coffee and the grounds are beautiful!!!
The food quality at the main buffet wasn’t great when we were there!!!
But that might change!!!
You will have more options with your upgrade
Enjoy
Another grate one guys Happy holidays Keep them coming
Thanks so much
Happy Holidays Merry Christmas

I’m going to Melia Trinidad Peninsula Feb 16. Different from the beaches at the North . But the hotel is new and the scenery and town is beautiful. Looking forward to your videos in 2024 .
Nice guys! I always go with adults only route if its an option. typically always the better call. thanks for sharing and hope you both have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks For watching
Me too!!!
Adults only!!!!
Merry Christmas Enjoy

Thanks so much!!!!
Mike
Have you been up to the marina on the hop on hop off? There's a great little coffee and cigar shop there.
A few years back
It was awesome!!!!
Mike
Thanks for the great video. We are staying there February 1st to the 8th.
I will go 22 how s the hôtel plz
Just got home from there.. Lots of familiar faces of the staff in the video. We had a great time. Sure there are shortages but all in all it was great. Mike's coffee bar was my favorite. We did not upgrade, but if you can get it for a great price it probably wouldn't be a good idea. They do not have face cloths or hand towels so if you want those bring it.
Closing in on 4K subscribers ! Another milestone .. 🇨🇦
Thanks So much!!!
I appreciate it
And I’m so Thankful
We’re heading to Memories Caribe next Saturday. Our group of 8 is looking forward to having a great time
Thanks so much!!
God willing, today is not the same disaster it was at that time. The food was very good and quality, I'm not complaining about that.
Love watching your videos. Cuba has always been one of our favorite places to go. Just wondering if you have been to the Sanctuary at Grand Memories Varadero? Or if you have any plans on going there to do a video?
We have been!!!!
Many Many Times!!!!
We always get room 33206 love it there
Hopefully in 2024
How do you manage to get that specific room and who do you usually book your trips with? We watch all your video's and we just got back from Memories Flamenco in Cayo Coco in late November.
@@Finding-Fish
Great work, just a little wee advice 11:00 bring your own refillable (e.g. bubba) ... its better for you, the environment & the resort
We do!!!
I do, sometimes it’s full of water and don’t want to waste it
HOLY CHEAP! I just booked there for early march for 10 days and flights+stay+insurance+tax ect was $3000 cad.
wowers
We are at Dhawa Santa Maria!
Beautiful enjoy
Hello, small question, what kind//brand of coffee machine is there in the room? Keurig, Tassimo? Thank you!!
Hey in our room can’t remember but the 24 lobby bar makes a great coffee and so does mikes

What sites do you normally use to search for the vacation sales?
I like trip Central Bailey
La habitación del video es de la zona alegance?
Oui Varadero,
Le complexe offre un très bon rapport qualité/prix
We’re leaving for this resort on December 29. Did you get the adult only upgrade? If so, was it expensive and worth it? Thank you
We didn’t but I definitely would if I went again.
I would upgrade!!!
I didn’t really like our room on the lower floor!!!
Enjoy!!!
The beach lunch was our favourite place for food
I highly recommend springing for the Privledge section…the rooms are beautiful, and there is a private al la carte restaurant to have breakfast, lunch and dinner on the terrace near there beach. The private pool and elevated bar service makes your stay more relaxed and private. It’s lovely.
Can you post the links/websites that you use to book the cheap vacations or seat sales??
Trip Central
But the sales come and go
@@Finding-Fish Thank you!! 🙏
Hey Mike, what website are you using for these seat sales and how far in advance; on average, are you booking.
right now Trip Central and it really depends, right now Cuba is on sale for Mid January booking this morning
i have entire video about this topic coming out soon
@@Finding-Fish That's great. Thanks and Merry Christmas
i use sunwing on a computer insead of a smart phone.
Hi there, I’m going to Varadero in 3 weeks does anyone have suggestions on what to bring or things they wish they had while there? Also I know they say not to drink the water but what about ice is it safe to use in drinks? Thank you!
Ice is Safe!!!
When it comes to bringing items
What do you life to have?
Hot sauce peanut butter white wine?
Ketchup
If you can’t live without them
Bring them!
This looks sooooo much different than 2022. There was no butter etc. Also Mike's was not open.
The Resort was great!!Food quality wasn’t the Best
its good to see things are getting better
Looking to travel to Cuba next year, from the US. Any tips?
Any one who is American , please share your experiences about your visit🙏🏽
Yeah, don't go!!!
I think you might have to go from Canada????
If you like ketchup, bring ketchup incase they are out (or whatever preferred condiment). Also keep watching more Finding Fish episodes for more tips. Maybe they have been where you're planning on going. I'm not sure how much more difficult it is for US citizens tho. I think there is just a little more paperwork/online documents. But the beaches, the people were fantastic. It was great value for my trip and had a great time, but i knew before hand to not have high expectations and was pleasantly surprised when those lowered expectations were exceeded. There is just more room for some errors there than in a richer country, but they do what they can, the best that they can.
Americans can't travel there for vacation!
have you been in trindad, cuba?
on the Radar!!!
Tom!!!
Hopefully Soon

Friends, I tell you that I was there in August 2022 and I had a very bad experience, they had to change my room three times, I was without a face towel for several days, the Club Hause It was closed and changing the beach towels was an odyssey, in the lobi bar there were not enough glasses, I swear it was a very bad experience that almost cost me a divorce. Cockroaches on the tables and Buffet floors, it is better not to continue.
Things do change- sorry for your experience.
Well no vacation should cost you a divorce!!!!
That’s unfortunate!!!!
And yes there can be bugs!!!
You are in the tropics!!!!
I hope you have a great Christmas
@@Finding-Fish Thank you very much my friend, after three years without a vacation, taking one and having these things happen to you is not very pleasant. I look forward to your visit to the market in 2024. Merry Christmas and I wish you lots of health and prosperity in the coming year.🙏🇨🇺👍
If there are no Bugs in my room I will be disapointed. 😂 I was in Cuba 12 years ago and the sand fleas loved me.😮 and a couple lizards climbing the walls. 😂 Haha I can't wait. It's all part of the Adventure.
Not sure if you are not working for travel company. Just returned back from Cuba with Air Canada: no eggs, no vine, no soda. Just rum and cigars. Not a vacation. Go to Mexico!
Not sure
Have you watched any of my RUclips videos!!!
If you have you’d know what your getting into and would be informed
Clearly your uninformed!!!
Do your homework before traveling and save us all
We show what we get - it’s very important to do your homework
Cuba is not for everyone
I actually was watching you review of Cayo Coco Memories Flamenco resort before buying Air Canada vacation to this resort (previously we were travelling to Mexico, Dominican Republic, Bahamas etc). The beach is OK and room is dated as you told. This is not a problem. However, what was missing in your video that corruption and bribes are extreme in Cuba: servers in restaurant told us that they have no vine for dinner. BUT: for 10 dollars they can find half bottle. In one week I spent more than 200 dollars to get some service, which is essential in other countries. Overall trip expenses with these "tips", were same as going to much better resort in Mexico. Point is: you have to spent LOOTS of money in Cuba to stay "normal". Why in your videos you are not showing how much money are you giving in tips to get good coffee and vine in Cuba?
Otherwise you videos are very professional and nice@@Finding-Fish
