Pueblo la Estrella, shopping and dinning in Cayo Santa Maria
Pueblo la Estrella, a small shopping and dinning area right in the middle of the Grand Memories and the Royalton Cayo Santa Maria. There are many reataurants to pick from, a few bars, a disco and some souvenir shops. I think most of the people come here to buy local artisan crafts during the day.
I walked through this plaza first thing in the moring and then again in the early afternoon.

Jennys Dresser Make Over and Flip

We named this dresser this because of the colour of fusion paint and Mel's sister in law Jenny was the inspiration. We went back to our favourite shop the "Mission Thrift Store" and bought this great dresser. I was drawn to it because of the Herringbone pattern on the drawers. Sadly it was only painted on.

Looks pretty run down....now I'm not sure about it......hmmm...
Great video. Got right to the point
I think you should paint the drawers another color.
Amen. Prior to watching your video i "fixed" a sputtering Keurig after an engineer took it apart and didn't figure out the problem. I too disassembled the machine and as a last resort checked the water tank. BINGO! It looked dirty - iron in water - even after double filtered. I took a pan bristled brush, rubbed inside the reservoir and poked from the bottom and ran water out the bottom until the dusty sediment came out clear. Put reservoir on, refilled it, plugged in machine, hit power button, cup size lights lit, hit cup size button and it worked! Talk about an easy fix! Lesson learned: what could ever go wrong on a Keurig? Way WAY over engineered appliance. Capacitors, sensors, wires, soldering, relays, hoses.... what a first world problem! But, hey, money makes the world go round and junk keeps the garbage men employed. We ban plastic bags and yet nobody worries about the pods their coffee comes in. Viva la basura!
Thank you this worked
You solved my problem 🎉
great! thanks for watching :)
I have a Mr Coffee that’s 12 years old, bought second hand for $20. Run some vinegar through it once a year or so. This hunk of shit $120 trash, has clogged completely twice in 6 months.
I dont understand how or why people keep buying these things, they are not a good product at all. look how many views this video has alone. that has to tell you some thing.
How is the BBQ holding up? Still in commission?
we only used it for the first year we had it and then we included it in the sale of our pop up trailer. I am thinking about buying one again for our new 26' foot travel trailer, if I can find one. perfect size for what we need. thanks for watching
@ sounds like this BBQ will hold up, we picked one up for $30 from a Facebook seller, looking forward to BBQing outdoors with the family. Which travel trailer are you planning to purchase? The Cougar Half Ton is a great option. Would love to see a video on the new trailer when you get it.
These machines suck I use reverse osmosis water and I’m on my second machine and this one is acting up, I’m done with these Luke warm coffee makers
I have switched to the old pot of coffee again as well lol
Mine isn’t letting water come out at all.
I am not sure what the next steps would be, sorry
turkey baseter worked, thank you.
Glad it worked!
Where is the finished perogi?
It says dough. Sorry you got lost
they were so good that we ate them before we could film any more, :)
Turkey baster worked fine for my coffee maker. Saved me the price of a new machine.
Glad it worked for you!
at the moment my coffe machine only pulses the lights of all buttons and it doesn’t do anything Help me !!😢
I am not sure what the next steps would be, sorry
Mine's brand new and not filling all the way up, no calcium build-up there.
I am not sure what the next steps would be, sorry
My linoleum has bubbles in it and tears that are running up. Should I pull up the lino or will vinyl keep it down when going over top?
we cleaned our flooring really well and then put it right over top
Do NOT buy a keurig, they are junk
lol
Great vid but didnt work for me. Nothing will get the water pumping again so I cant even do a descale... Tried blowing into those holes/screens and still nothing. You hear the sound of the motor for about 10 seconds then it turns off :/
oh thats not good ay all. sorry it didn't work for you.
how far is the bus ride and are there any bathrooms at the beach ,and is this one close to the sanctuary memories thanks and great video
You land at Santa Clara and the bus ride is 1:40. no bathrooms on the bus. There are small bathrooms right beside the beach bar if i remember right :)
Thank you, It was plugged inside and the baster did the trick!
glad it worked
Yes not a five star resort but friendly people the best biches food very good for world situation I was there in march and I love it we have a lot of friends there 😊 special Magdalena victor Raul and is wife all them very friendly I missed them and I missed cuba 😅
Thanks for sharing! I always have fun in Cuba
Nice beach!
Cuba has so many of them :)
Thanks!
You bet!
Thank you!
You bet!
Can you still buy this in 2024
these are the ones for sale right now. www.costco.com/s?dept=All&keyword=cantilever%20umbrella
Your solution and hot water in the reservoir did the trick. You saved my keurig. ❤
Glad I could help!
Did you enjoy your stay? Would you recommend?
It was a long bus ride from the airport, but we liked it and are thinking we will go back next year
I just got back I been in star fish cayo Santa Maria and give us access to memories because the food facilities situation Cuba now is very bad shape but beaches is magnificent no doubt about that I been in Cuba 10 times for the low price all inclusive is great alcohol inc ❤
how's it holding up 4 years later?! haha
we still love it :) We always cover it when we are not using it and put it away for the winter. Its a little sun faded but still gets the job done :)
You were correct, my rear tank was clogged with fine cat hair. Tuns out my cat like to drink out if the tank, gross I know but he’s my cat. I had to use a tooth pick to pick it out of the 1 way valve at the bottom of the external tank and ran water through it backwards. Who knew, i thought it was scale, lol.
odd but a good find!
These look nice - sadly, in 2024 the Costco Canteliver umbrellas are almost 1000 bucks! wow. Thanks for the review.
Oh wow!
Tear aid type a is a joke do not use it
What works better?
How far from the airport is this resort, i could see myself going there.
It was a long trip! I think it was 2 hours, but lots to see along the way.
Wow! That worked for me. Both sides of my Keurig were not really working and the fixed them better than ever!
Great to hear!
This worked!! Thank you so much! 🎉
You're welcome!
What was the evening entertainment like? Was thee live entertainment?
yes every other night was live and it was ok, not my thing but lots of people there watching :)
Thanks for the update!
Any time!
What brand of umbrella is this? Costco has several
Seasons Sentry 3.35 m (11 ft.) Round Solar LED Cantilever Umbrella
Good video. Can you do one on cleaning the umbrella?
Great suggestion!
Based on the instructions you need to fill the base with sand and water. My concern is what I should do in winter? Do I need to take it down? Or it safe to let it outside?
We take ours down and store it inside the garage for the winter. thats why we just ude water so we can drain the tanks.
Audio was good.
thanks :)
🙏🏽 Thanks! Trying to do this by myself and had no idea how. This helps a lot!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the video. I just saw it in person today and it is $100 off until the end of May. Looks like that $499 price from a few years ago is still the same which is surprising!
Right on!
Is there any way to contact you directly
I am not a rep of this company. Is it some thing you can ask on here?
@@MelandTim Do you accept product review
bestofthebest.reviews1@gmail.com
Thank You fixed my Keurig !!
Awsome :)
Thank you
You're welcome
Anyone else’s creak in the wind? I have a constant mild ocean breeze and this thing scares the hell out of me.
Our does as well :(
The bases are so huge. I opted to drill through my wood deck with lag bolts and lock washer. Great looking deck and job guys.
Great idea! Thanks :)
How are the rooms ?
They were ok :) Better than the places that I stayed in Varadero, just a bit of a bus ride from the airport
Any chance you have the bolt size? we took ours down this past year and the bolts got misplaced/tossed.
for which ones? if you let me know i'll check.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
