    Great video, thanks for sharing your experience. I'll be going to Royalton in November, and I have a few questions, if you don't mind. 1) How is the food? 2) Did you encounter many biting insects--mosquitos, sand fleas, etc.? 3) How was the tipping situation--did you tip in US or CDN dollars, and how often?

    • @thetravelingtoosmtl
      @thetravelingtoosmtl  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thanks for the questions. 1) Food: for Cuban standards pretty good. Huge breakfast buffet. Beach Bar Grill was under renovation. Great lunch buffet = main restaurant. A la carte dinner portions a bit small and without air conditioning 2) not many insects but bring bug spray. 3) we tipped in USD. Cubans are very appreciative no matter the amount. Don’t forget to watch the nightly shows.

    • @thetravelingtoosmtl

      Yes we completed and provided the D'VIAJEROS form to Cuban immigration officers.

    Great video guys! We've never been to Cuba, but was looking to book this resort. Not sure if you've been to Mexico, but does it compare? Food, rooms etc?

    • @thetravelingtoosmtl
      @thetravelingtoosmtl  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Glad you liked the video. We have been to Mexico and many of the Caribbean islands. Cuba, in particular Varadero, has the best beaches hands down. No waves, no seaweed. If you are not a beach person you maybe disappointed with the food and level of luxury compared to Mexico. There is always something to eat but it can be repetitive. Please keep in mind that Cuba has very limited imports. I would definitely give it a try if you have never been there.

      When we went last year, it was exceptionally humid. However, we were never too far from the beach or a cool beverage.😀

      No we are not American. We booked the hotel with the airline.

      Its only people from the USA that have a hassle to go to Cuba. I think all other American Countries can go really easy. example I am Canadian and have been to Cuba over 15 times and its as easy as booking and going.

    @donaldedmondson7939 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Interesting video. What strikes me about the resort is how sterile and boring it seems. The culture a appears contrived and unnatural. I don’t think enjoying all that arranged luxury and gourmet food would give me a lot of pleasure knowing that it is off limits to the average Cuban.

    • @thetravelingtoosmtl
      @thetravelingtoosmtl  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for the comment. Actually the resort is open to all Cubans. We met a couple who enjoyed the weekend there.

      Sorry to hear that. Our experience was great. Third trip to Cuba and this was our favourite. It’s all about the beach.

      Those types of people are who support the dictatorship, the money spent by those is used to buy patrol cars rather than ambulances, artifacts of repression rather than medication. It is simply be part of the crime against the Cuban people. 1054 politics prissioners languish in subhuman conditions just for peaceably ask be freedom.
