Thanks for the video Dave. We have been contemplating this resort for some time. The grounds remind me of the Melia Cayo Coco where we usually go. The Melia is starting to over price itself plus the lagoon rooms will be going through renos in the next few months. I'm looking forward to your next video where I believe you mentioned you would review the beach (Diamond Club) and the main buffet. Thanks again. John (Cornwall, Ontario)

The beach is great, the diamond section beach is no better or worse just separate. But the diamond section does give access to the snack bar where you can get hamburgers, hot dogs, ham and cheeses, etc. And fries with catsup and vinegar! My only complaint was there were a number of flies in the inside restaurants, especially the buffet. That did improve significantly by the end of the week, they must have fumigated.

This was one of the worst Cuban resorts I've been too. The rooms were dirty, the food was poor at best and the staff were beyond. When asked a question they would shrug, ignore, look at their phone or say "read the menu"! So rude!

I'll agree on the food, not great even by Cuba standards. Generally the staff was great, no issues for me.

Thanks for the video Dave! Which rooms or building would you recommend to be closest to the beach? Are there public washrooms at the beach? Thanks!

I don't recall public washrooms at the beach, they tend to be near lobby/bar areas. You can check a resort map to see what is closest to beach, etc.

So dissappointed in this resort. Beach is almost non-existant. Service and attitude of employees is truly sad. Dont know how they survive. Safe to say Ill never return here.

Thank you for your video. I absolutely loved this Resort, very clean and friendly people. I was the person sitting beside you and your wife on the plane and went to the same resort. We certainly did have fantastic weather. I am going back in October. Cheers

That is awesome, agree weather was perfect, no rain. I have a few more videos I am working on, room tour and beach tour. I am planing a trip early September to Cayo Largo with my son, as long as no hurricanes are forecast :).. Also a trip in Nov with my wife, not sure what resort/area yet.

Hi Dave. We are going there in January. We saw another video of this resort and the gentleman mentioned something about the septic being emptied or seeping out of the ground so just wondering if you noticed anything like that
@vacationswithdavebrown3045

yes I do recall it smelling in some cases, most likely the tanks, ultimately septic beds are designed to seep into the ground.

That plane you saw was the Russian AN-2. Its production started back in 1949. It’s not just the cars that are old there.

Dave Carole and myself had a great time the week we were there, chating (and a little dancing) with a lot of interesting and entertaining folks like you and your good wife. Your video gives a good reflection of the Caribe and it's amenities. Well done.

Nice Did you upgrade to Diamond Club at the resort, or was it part of the original package?
@vacationswithdavebrown3045

part of the original package, is what not expensive. We did see people trying to upgrade on site and were told there were no rooms. Generally you can upgrade on site much cheaper (if there is availability).

I don't recall. Generally there is a small gift shop, with Cuba resorts. But generally not much in it besides Che Guevara shirts:). For example if you forget sun screen, they generally do not have that for sale. There are snacks a soft drinks for free at various locations on the resort.

Thanks a lot for your vidéo😊 I’d like to go during August monte with Diamond: can I ask you what will be your recommandation for the choice of the room because I’m myself afraid of the big coquerellas and I always reserve second floor or third floor in Cayo Coco, my favorite place to relax in vacation in Cuba! Suit or Superior room Diamond? Thanks in advance for your answer and again 👏 for your videos (sorry for my english, I’m from Quebec and it’s not my natural language even if I Like to speak other languages, especially to can communicate with others😊

We went with the Diamond Club Junior Suite Al Fresco, the outdoor shower is nice. This is ground floor, just two rooms to the building. Diamond club gives you a nicer breakfast location, and also a better snack bar on the beach. A 3'rd floor could give a better view depending.

Which resort would you recommend for a couple in their 60’s, one with some mobility issues (walks with cane), looking for swimming and quiet holiday? I am thinking Buenavista or Caribe as they seem smaller and more manageable. Your videos are beautifully filmed and very informative, thank you for posting. Also have you been in November? This is when we are thinking of going. 🙏❤️
@vacationswithdavebrown3045
Жыл бұрын
Thanks. November is a good time to go. We have been to Jamaica in nov but not Cuba. Buenavista is a good choice. Long bus ride is only issue. Great snorkelling. Also consider Holguín Paradisus Royal section. These two are a bit more expensive. Caribe is good value. Buenavista would be best for mobility issues very small 100 rooms. Also pay the upgrades when you arrive if you want, I.e. ocean view it is cheaper.
