    Great follow up to your previous video on PRDO. Really torn between the quiet luxury of the Royal Service side, or the killer beach at Royalton CSM? Apple and oranges, I know … but any thoughts on one vs the other? We generally prefer Melia resorts over Blue Diamond, and the Paradisus has a very elegant feel to it.

    Great video, we’ve stayed next door at memories probably 10 times, watched them slowly building this concrete monster, I know what the beach is like there, this locals used to joke about how crappy it was, there was a rumour Melia was going to try and clean the big rocks out of the water. I’m sure it’s a beautiful resort but, it has to be the most un-Cuban looking building I’ve seen.

    Thank you for sharing your travels with me. I live vicariously through your adventures. The sand on the Caribbean side of Cuba is not the same as on the Atlantic side for sure. And there is always a murk to the water. I like to see my feet or I get nervous 🦈 😂😂😂 I’ve visited most of the public beaches along the Caribbean coastline from Cienfuegos to Santiago, and they are pretty rough. The sand is more like volcanic rubble, but the further southeast your go the clearer the water becomes. Do you know if the beach bus to the city runs daily? The cost each way?

    My first stay on CSM was at this hotel. It was the first and only on the island in 2002, and when I first visited there were only a handful of hotels. Because it was the first I like to believe the developers chose the best ocean frontage. The waves were fun and the depth of the water perfect. Needless to say I have a sweet connection to Sol. I have returned many times with my adult children and their friends before moving on to larger Melia hotels on the cayo. I dream about revisiting to enjoy the repairs and renos and to reconnect with old friends. The simplicity and privacy along with the most mature gardens and trees on CSM certainly sets it apart from the rest. I think it would be too quiet for the party goer, but an excellent reclusive stay for reading, photography, morning yoga and solo getaways.

    Meliá has outdone themselves again! They truly are the cream of the crop. I was surprised when I watched the grand opening video that they had chosen this location and not Playa Ancon just moments away. It’s such a stunning beach, but perhaps it was because they needed so much space. It’s enormous. And this location is much closer to the town. Love the colors, the layout - so smart!! I’m happy to see that Spain is still investing in Cuba. That’s a good sign. This is one for my bucket list. Thank you for another great video Dave.

      Well the variety of food is never great in Cuba. The food at Buenavista is better than average, Not being a vegetarian, its hard to comment. As well different vegetarians have different foods they eat or don't eat. You are not going to starve, but I think the selection would be limited. This is a smaller resort so less choices at the buffet.

    Great video! I’m thinking about booking this hotel in September because Sunwing is giving an incredible deal but I had a bad experience in Cuba a couple years ago when I stayed at the Melia Cayo Coco. Although there was an abundance of food, the staff was serving us and we’re very stingy with portions so I starved the entire 10 days I was there and lost a considerable amount of weight. When I went for seconds the staff would give me dirty looks and would barely give me anything. I felt I had to beg them for food. In this video the breakfast buffet looked very scarse. Do they allow you to serve yourself or do they serve you? Is there a little snack shop either in the hotel or a grocery store outside the hotel? In case I don’t find anything suitable for my diet? Also is the pool deep enough to do lapses? Again, thank you for this video. Cuba has the most beautiful beaches in the world.😊

    • @vacationswithdavebrown3045

      I have stayed in many resorts in Cuba the buffet is always self serve. I agree sometimes the A la carte can be small portions, depending on the resort. I have never lost weight on a trip, and I do a considerable amount of hiking while I am there. The pool is quiet big most parts are deep enough to do laps.
