Cayo Coco , adults only , the best! If you are 50+ ,you will not be disappointed! Thank you " Finding fish" for all you tips ! We will be in Cayo Coco Caribe in a week , its our second time and we loved this little paradise, thanks to you! ❤
Thanks for the great video Mike!! That's an interesting comparison. There are quite a few differences but I think I like the not so busy Cayo Coco. Take care and safe travels.
Very happy to see a huge improvement in your style of presenting video! The information is very truthful and well presented. Advices are very valuable. Well done!
For me they all the same the beach in Varadero was perfect as Cayo Coco Last year we went to Melia International and Barcelo Solymar. The beach was perfect. No mosquitos. Cayo Coco is remote that even on July there was mosquitos. If I go back to Cayo Coco I like to go at Tryp because the beach was wide. And yes sometimes it's annoying to see noisy crying kids and grabbing food on the counter with runny nose 3 years ago we went to Iboristar Playa Pilar. Kids were crying screaming , eating on the dining room with dripping nose
@@bogdantrzymaj Hello. I stayed at the Grand Muthu Cayo Guillermo. It was great in my opinion. The room, particularly the bathroom was dated, and water pressure was good most days, and no pressure at certain times, but it didn't bother me. Beach was amazing, food was ok/good.
Great video Mike! I’m happy you touched on the topic of the difference between men vs women solo travelling. There’s definitely some risk factors and experiences with locals. I also agree it depends on the individual and what type of experience they’re seeking while away.
We preferred cayo co co, or Santa Maria, just because less of a party atmosphere, we are in our early sixties, but all of Cuba is amazing inn, later this year we are taking first times with us, so we have them watching your videos, so they know not just from us but from a top notch reviewer with great videos to help them see what to expect. You have been a great help, thank you
@@Finding-Fish so jealous! This video has convinced me I am an island girl. I was already pretty sure but this helped me stop wondering whether I should try a Varadero trip. My sister and I traveled together and felt very safe. We met a couple ladies traveling solo, also felt very safe.
We’re in Grand Aston right now while seeing your video! Totally agreed with your review. Hope people will find your video before they decide where to go. Cheers 🍻
Hi we are loving your videos we are regular viewers, we really appreciate your honest reviews. We are wondering if your ever going to go Holguin area to visit the Playa Pesquero resort it came highly recommend to us. Thanks
Hi Mike, what resorts do you recommend for a family of 4 with 2 boys age 13 and 11? We have never been to Cuba. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, probably traveling next April, thanks.
Love the video Mike! Thanks. We've been to both places as well. Just one note, Newfoundland is not a part of the Maritimes. They only include 3 provinces. Please keep up the fantastic work
@@Finding-Fish that's not a problem at all!! The reason Newfoundland is not considered a part of the Maritimes is that Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949. Prior to that, we were a separate country 😊
Hi Mike, we are considering going to Memories Flamenco just after Canada Day. Wondering what your experience is with the misquitos and other bugs like noseeums this time of year.
I’m in Cuba now!!! I believe Flamenco is doing some Renovations in the buffet area!!! Bugs can be bad bring lots of bugs spray And it hot down here Enjoy
@@Finding-Fish Just booked it. I guess you cant go too wrong for $700 oceanview. One more question as i usuallly just bring carry on. Sunwing is offering free checked back so i was giong to take advantage of that and bring a bunch of bug spray and other things. Are there any restrictions with aresol cans in checked luggage that you have run into?
Another amazing video! Spoken like a homie from around the way and not some privileged entitled tourist. The time you took to edit this must have been extensive. Very much appreciated. I’ve been to both. Varadero I find too commercial and very much over populated by visitors but that long beach is perfect for daily walks. And cause it’s less separated from the mainland I have always found less supply issues when it comes to food and pop. Cayo Coco’s beach is so much nicer and the beach is floury soft. But food selection and supply often an issue. Cayo Santa Maria is my fav though and hope you add this part to your next mega comparison. Playa Cayo Santa Maria Resort is my fav of all the Cuban resorts minus the exclusive adult only isolated section of Ibeostar Ensenachos that you walked through. Those accommodations were fabulous. Getting that whole villa with kitchen and hot tub was wow! Even had a private meal cooked by a chef in our villa one night. But getting back to Santa Maria I hope you review Royalton one day. One resort I still need to visit but always so pricey compared to all others. Have a great day from VanCity!
Well Said 💯 percent!!! For the traveler that likes busy, Varadero 101 coming your way!!! Low Key and pristine beaches!!’n Coyo coco!!! Absolutely!!! Editing this Video!!!20 hours plus, All my footage!!! Thanks for mentioning it!!! Your spot on 100 💯 percent!!!!!!! Royalton Santa Maria is on the List!!!!! About everything you mentioned!!!!! Mike
I've been to Varadero, Cayo Coco, Cayo Santa Maria, Hoguin, Cayo Largo. Bar far the best spot for beaches alone, Cayo Largo has been the number one spot for me. Highly recommend checking Cayo Largo out. As a female who has traveled alone to Cuba, it has been the most safest that I've ever felt while vacationing in the caribbean. It's my number one go to.
Hey Mike, great video! Do you have any thoughts on solo supplement fees? I know not all resorts charge them but given that you’ve been to so many resorts I was wondering if you know of any ways to circumvent them or if you just factor them in?
Great video Mike. As soon as i saw your notification about this video I told my wife let's grab a coffee and look at video. We love Cuba also and most likely will book a Cayo Coco trip next Jan -Feb timeframe. How about Meliá Cayo Coco? Have you visited there before? We have and i was just wondering how everything is currently there. Great video again. Cheers Peter
Hey Peter Jenny and I were at the Melia like 10 years or more ago so I can’t really comment because it was so long ago!!! But I always hear great things about it!!! Thanks for supporting me!!! Mike
Thanks Mike! This is exactly the video I was looking for! My husband and I stayed in Varadero lin February and it was a great place to be but you are right, it is very busy. We are focusing on Cayo Coco for next year's vacation. We like the quiet and the beaches. Could you possibly recommend a few of your favourite resorts in Cayo Coco please? Nothing too big, adults only and after dinner entertainment. We don't like the large apartment building type resorts. We have done a lot of research but it would be nice to hear it from you because of your vast experience and you look for the same things in a resort as my husband and I do. Thank you so much Mike!
Memories Caribe I’d a fan Favourites We made 2-3 videos there in the past, small easy to get around beautiful beach!!! I’m heading back to Cayo Coco soon to make even more videos!!! Stay tuned!!! Also working on my Top resort of 2024 Thanks for watching and your question!!! Mike
Thank you for the very informative video. i like these type of videos especially when I am about to travel to a country. I am planning on going to Cuba in late November . Do you think that the season has picked up then ? I am thinking of Royalton Hicacos in Varadero or a hotel in Cayo coco ?
Hi Mike. Good video showing the pros and cons of each destination. I was in Cayo Santa Maria in 2019 with my family and really enjoyed it. We would love to visit again and are considering Varadero, Cayo Coco and Cayo Cruz. Which would you recommend? Our boys are 14 year old twins. I really like that Cayo Cruz is underdeveloped, I would like to visit before it gets built up, I have looked at the Iberostar Selection there and it looks good. Like you and your wife, we love beautiful beaches. Keep up the great videos, I really enjoy them. Cheers!
I might be heading to Iberostar Selections in the near Future!!! Also Grand Aston Paredon is a Family Resort and close to the airport in Cayo Coco, good beach, and god lobby bar and pool area.
Heading to Grand Aston (Club) soon, for my 21st visit to Cuba. I agree with you; all that I care about are the beach, a clean room, and a comfy bed. I’ve been all over Cuba, and elsewhere, but Cayo Coco is my fav because I can enjoy some solitude if I want to. My favourite resorts are Memories Caribe, Sol Cayo Coco (2 beaches) and Sol Cayo Santa Maria. I detest anything fancy, I’m 63, was widowed 7 years ago, but I feel very safe when I come to Cuba on my own. Anybody who has complaints about Cuba, just doesn’t “get it” and are not my kind of people.
@@Finding-Fish yes, but it doesn’t look like there are any flights until the fall. I love the calm beach to the left, and I’m a sucker for wooden boardwalks!
Thanks for the info Mike! Still considering which option would be best for a young couple who's main focus would be outdoor adventures (hiking, caves, snorkeling, mountains, renting scooters, bikes & cars for road trips etc). Not interested in the party scene but also not needing to sit at the beach all day. Cheers ✌️
Hi Mike. My girlfriend and I are looking to book a resort in Varadero in January. We're in our mid-20s and looking for kid-free atmosphere. But we still want to be able to party at night. Are there any resorts you suggest I check out? Thanks in advance. Great vids.
Hi Mike just watched nearly all your videos as I’m planning to go to Cuba for my birthday in March next year, for the first time. I’m 47 single woman travelling memories Caribe looks good but have you reviewed Melia Cayo coco and would you recommend it over the memories Caribe please?
Starfish beach Fantastic breeze Massive beach beautiful colour At low tide it’s awesome! Jardines beach is nice no breeze really because it’s in a bay!!! It’s beautiful at low tide but it doesn’t really compare to Starfish!!!!
Sorry to bother you once again homie. Looking to book Cayo Coco for the first time for a trip first week in February. Using your opinion as one that I now trust and respect. What is your top two resorts there if your priorities is a long long beach to walk everyday and food choices. Thank you.
I haven’t Spent that Much time this year in Cayo Coco, i've spent alot of time in Varadero Santa Maria and Holguin.... heading back to cayo Coco soon!!! but resort i have stayed at in Cayo Coco, Memories Caribe, small adults only, Great Beach!!!( Made a few Videos ) Grand Aston Paredon!!!! Good solid Resort!!!also VIP section (Video on Both)
Hi Mike...another informative video. In my opinion Caribe can't be beat for adults only but I'm a senior with similar views. Thanks for the great comparison, and I look forward to your next video. Cheers Bill
Are you at the Grand Aston Cayo Paredón Beach Resort? This is Camagüey right? How is the depth of water at the beach? Im looking to go just for the beach and quiet time for as a solo traveller. Cayo coco i found the water way too shallow for miles out and HOT i did not like that about the resort (grand muthu) even though it was beautiful. How was the beach where you are?
I just got back from Cayo Coco yesterday. I was very disappointed. I stayed at the Memories Flamenco. The buffet was closed and there was hardly anything to eat. No bread, no fries, no sandwiches no eggs. The a la cart restaurants were awful. Portions were so small and the variety of food in the restaurants were minimal. Dinner was fast, about 15 to 20 minutes and you're out. The worst part was the mosquitoes. We were all eaten alive, no joke. I know that isnt their fault but i had no idea it would have been that bad. People were nice, met great folks, beach was gorgeous. Just no food!! :(
@@Finding-Fish Yes, our travel agent told us but we still went as I had no idea that a resort packed full of people would barely have food. As for bug spray, I did bring some ( per your recommendations) but I would have had to bathe in it for it to really help. My toilet stopped working 4 times and my cards to get into my room.
Can you tell us about power outages, today the media is reporting one for the entire island affecting 10 million people!. My worry as a tourist is refrigeration and eating spoiled food. Thanks
Great video. I've been to Varadero, but not Cayo Coco. I've never had a problem in Varadero, but I understand Cayo Coco has lots of mosquitoes and " no se- eems " ?
Thanks for posting this Mike. Question about solo travelling, which resort did you enjoy the most? For me, I've been to Melia Las Antillas 5 times and out of all 5 different resorts I stayed at, I found Las Antillas to be like a 2nd home. Although the buildings and rooms are in need of repair and the food isn't the greatest, the staff are friendly and down to earth and they always seem to attract guests that I feel comfortable with. I also really like the layout of the whole property.
Absolutely on the List!!! I’m at the Grand Memories (Sanctuary) Right now making videos but I will head there this Fall Thank Victoria for watching Mike
Se ve completamente vacío, no hay tráfico porque la Isla no tiene combustible, ya no hay mucha gente que quiera ir porque la comida es pésima, nada comparado con Punta Cana y Mexico!
Another great video Mikey, thanks for sharing
Hey Darryl!!!
Glad you had a great time at the Flamenco!!!

Last year we went to Melia International and Barcelo Solymar. The beach was perfect. No mosquitos. Cayo Coco is remote that even on July there was mosquitos. If I go back to Cayo Coco I like to go at Tryp because the beach was wide.
And yes sometimes it's annoying to see noisy crying kids and grabbing food on the counter with runny nose
3 years ago we went to Iboristar Playa Pilar. Kids were crying screaming , eating on the dining room with dripping nose
You went to the International
Wowzers was it epic??
Tryp for the money you can’t beat it, and really no kids in the off season
@@Finding-Fish 4 years ago we went on July at Iboristar Playa Pilar kids are everywhere. Screaming with runny nose
Lol kids haters soon we will not have younger generations in this world.

I’m in Varadero right now
No shortage at this resort
Good weather
Great prices

Good comparison Mike. I definitely prefer the adults only resorts. It really doesn't matter where in Cuba I go lol... it's Cuba! Thanks for sharing!
I hear you A-O the way to go at our Age

Love the video Mike! Thanks. We've been to both places as well.
Just one note, Newfoundland is not a part of the Maritimes. They only include 3 provinces.
Please keep up the fantastic work
Oh Really!!
Sorry,
I went to school but honestly in public school I messed around a lot!!!
But I truly love easterns they say it like it is
@@Finding-Fish that's not a problem at all!!
The reason Newfoundland is not considered a part of the Maritimes is that Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949. Prior to that, we were a separate country 😊
Hi Mike, we are considering going to Memories Flamenco just after Canada Day. Wondering what your experience is with the misquitos and other bugs like noseeums this time of year.

Are there any restrictions with aresol cans in checked luggage that you have run into?

Until November then the fee is added

Thanks Steve
I also have problems pronouncing my English words to!!!
My grade 2 teacher used to tell me this all the time
Hey steve i wonder how is your english pronunciation??? 😂 😂
Jardines 😂 really 😂
Can you tell us about power outages, today the media is reporting one for the entire island affecting 10 million people!. My worry as a tourist is refrigeration and eating spoiled food. Thanks
Cuba only has 11 million people!!!
There are power issues everyday!!!!
What was your TV station source?
what about seaweed?
Nope pretty much nothing
This is Cuba
Not Mexico
I know what it is I have been to both several times. They are both in the Caribbean
Great video. I've been to Varadero, but not Cayo Coco. I've never had a problem in Varadero, but I understand Cayo Coco has lots of mosquitoes and " no se- eems " ?
Yes very true,
I'm in Varadero right now and NO BUGS!!!!
but that will change after the first good rain!!!
Thanks for posting this Mike. Question about solo travelling, which resort did you enjoy the most? For me, I've been to Melia Las Antillas 5 times and out of all 5 different resorts I stayed at, I found Las Antillas to be like a 2nd home. Although the buildings and rooms are in need of repair and the food isn't the greatest, the staff are friendly and down to earth and they always seem to attract guests that I feel comfortable with. I also really like the layout of the whole property.
That’s cool I might hit that resort
Sanctuary white sands is a good option and Grand Aston Paredon also is a good options in my opinion
I love watching your videos. It's been a huge help in planning my honeymmon to Cuba. Can you please check out Sanctuary at Grand Memories Holguín.
Absolutely on the List!!!
I’m at the Grand Memories (Sanctuary)
Right now making videos but I will head there this Fall
Thank Victoria for watching
Mike
Se ve completamente vacío, no hay tráfico porque la Isla no tiene combustible, ya no hay mucha gente que quiera ir porque la comida es pésima, nada comparado con Punta Cana y Mexico!
Bueno, no estoy de acuerdo, en realidad me gusta la comida cubana y siempre disfruto de la isla.
@@Finding-Fish Si, pero el Pueblo que está oprimido no disfruta de lo mismo que tu y esa es la gran diferencia!!
