Budget recommendation : Club Amigo on beautiful Ancon beach outside of picturesque town of Trinidad, Cuba. I stayed there in 1992. I would describe it as a Soviet era inspired Minimalist architecture. Sunwing offers it as a 2.5 star, you can get a week for around $500 even in the busy season. The only other resort on the beach is Memories Trinidad, so you could probably do a walk through of that resort with no issues...knock off two vids in one trip
Hi Mike. I love your videos. They are very helpful. I would love to see a video on items that would be good to bring to Cuba for the Cubans. Even to hear from the Cubans themselves what would be the most helpful/appreciative gifts. We travel only to Cuba and yet I’m always asking myself, “what should I bring them?” Keep up the great videos.
Just returned from Cuba 🇨🇺. Catching up with great Cuba Series that we had missed while away few weeks. Looking forward to the luxury Cuba series 🎉☕️🇨🇺 Cheers,
Hello Mike, Here is an idea for a video, how the prices are better ($/day) if you want to have a longer trip for months and what can you do in resorts to wash clothes or cut your hair and have what you need during longer trips, accommodations for long trips in Cuba. You could give examples of the prices for a week and than for 2 months ($/day). Good places for this. Maybe also as a Canadian what to prepare ( insurances or anything else ) for longer trips
As a Canadian flying from Toronto, your cheap trip tips are invaluable! Would love to hear about Bankok deals, tricks of the trade. Cuba will always be my fave!
No matter what are your plans, I will follow you! You make so very honest reviews. Can' t wait in beginning 2025 to see thos compilations. Keep up with honest review Mike. From Montreal, Quebec.
Hey Mike. Great video as always. I love the idea of doing the 3 star resorts aswell to include people with bigger families and cost friendy. Sandra and I went to Hotel Playa Coco beside Caribe in Cayo Coco and we enjoyed our stay very much so. I think there are a lot of places that are 4 star that feel like a 3 star and vice versa. We will be heading to Veradero on Tuesday, hoping to catch you there. I love the Thursday night live with a Q and A vibe. One thought i had, as a parent I try to never involve my kids when it comes to the internet, but , maybe a video on your families favourite 3 resorts to visit, no matter where. Keep up thr great work. Lots of pics this week from Cuba.
We are going to Club Amigo Ancon for 10 days in February. It's rated as 3.5 star, just under 1000$ from YUL I would definitely watch those 3 star reviews, plenty of those in Santa Lucia, along with 22km of beach ⛱️
Great video. Enjoy all your Cuba series and those to come. Interesting vlogs ahead it seems. Still hoping you get to Melia Cayo Coco and do a review What about the smaller islands in the Caribbean as a potential project e.g. Grenada, Antigua, St. Kitts, Dominica, Barbuda, Barbados to name a few . Although they might be more expensive and more distant to travel. Food for thought. Cheers Peter
Great video. I will watch all your adventures, looking forward to your Europe videos. I would really be interested in some Dominican trips as well. Thanks for all the work you do.
We’re here at the Barceló Solymar - per your cheap and cheerful recommendation- two days left it’s been a great couple of weeks … we were upgraded after the hot water stopped and our locks failed in our bungalow suite … but we’re loving being next to the snack bar in the only bungalow with a beach view! We’ll continue to watch - if you’re looking for suggestions and of we’ve missed it - recommend some places to stay in Havana - did the day tour and loved it ! We’d spend a week there just museum hopping!
Good video! It’s always eye opening when you drive through a Cuban town, just like the resorts though they are just as awesome! Keep up the great videos finding fish!
Another great video Mike!!! Sounds like you have some awesome videos coming up. I look forward to your top picks for Cuba. After Cuba I look forward to the many other Countries you are going to visit!! Take care and safe travels.
Video idea: I'd love to see a video regarding the filming equipment you use and video editing software. What is your process on creating video's? Thanks Mike:) We watch your video's from Calgary!!
Mike you should try Cayo Largo a small island located off the southern coast of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea. It is known for its stunning beaches, remote natural landscapes, and water sports opportunities. This popular destination is perfect for beach lovers, fishermen, and avid scuba divers.
How about best budget friendly resorts Mike? Like best value 🤷🏻 I really looking forward to your top family resorts in Cuba 🇨🇺 We are on budget but I am trying to book a trip to take wife and kids to Cuba in January 😊
Great plans Mike , I'll follow you, Right now my life as limited time for vacation and a fast paced job so the maximum days in the most quiet beaches is what I need. That being said I look foward to retirement (few more yeats) were spain, asia is on my bucket list
Looking forward to the new content, whatever it may be … because regardless of the location, we still get to be a part of the unique Finding Fish experience! Selfishly, I can only hope to see some Mexico and DR content, but it’s all great stuff. Btw, when you panned to that shot of majestic clouds over the horizon, my first thought was that those moments just make you feel glad to be alive.
We have been loving the Cuba series and look forward to all that is coming up. We were wondering why you haven't been back to Cayo Largo? Will there be any further updates on this area? Greatly appreciate all that you do and have done - Thank You!! Cheers Mike & Jen
You're living the Canadian dream Mike. If you're looking for a 3 star all inclusive check out Brisas del Caribe. The beach is amazing and the staff are some of the nicest Cubans I have ever met
Thanks for another great video If your going to Asia My girlfriend from Vietnam I visit there 4 times telling you the beaches there are amazing and very cheap there I'm sure you will enjoy the coast line nha Trang da dang
Hubby and I have been having the best time watching your videos .. would you be able to go visit Hotel Muthu Playa Varadero Resort, Hubby and I have been there 5 times .. we adore Cuba wish we could go there more times ... we are visiting Cuba each time you and your lovely wife are together in your videos .. thank you so much ...
My fav 3 star resorts are Sol Cayo Coco and Sol Cayo Santa Maria. The landscaping and boardwalks feed my soul. Surprisingly, the prices for these can be higher than some 4 star resorts.
Hi Mike, when you are in London take the Chunnel train to Paris. First class was a blast, especially since my daughter slept and I had her wine and cheese. It was a wonderful trip. Enjoy. I will be watching . DR in February and Paris in May or June. Have a safe and wonderful time travelling. Jennie needs to retire so she can go on all these adventures!
Always looking forward to your videos. Your honest comments inspire us with our choices for Cuba. Have you considered Roatan as a new spot? Thank you so much 😊
Yes to Vietnam. The food is so great there and everything is so cheap. If you go to Japan, please go to Okinawa where all the great beaches are. The world is a big place Mike. Don’t limit yourself to Cuba. You may also gain subscribers by choosing to travel to another destinations as most Americans can’t go to Cuba and may not find value in your videos. Whatever you choose to do your loyal subscribers will always support you. 😊 PS Definitely do Patreon or Superfan as other UA-camrs do it. Videos are hard work and you deserve the income.😊
FINDING FISH: First, THANK YOU soooo much for reviewing the Resorts, I'll be using your work for future trips. Must be back breaking work going to one resort after another! The Cayo Coco Coast and similar coasts along the eastern shore of CUBA, get a lot of Wind 24/7 and it keeps the bugs down, but it also churns up the water. Swimming in murky salt water is not a good idea, so when you review a Resort, if there are any places where there is clear beach water, could you mention the location? Top 5 Best Buffets? Thanks for giving Temperatures only in Celsius. Have you used Cuban Medical Services and if so, how was it compared to OHIP? Not asking for fine details, just an overall review. Could you review Snorkeling spots at Resorts? If you around the La Gaviota Commercial Center in Cayo Coco, could you do a review of it and show the gift shops? It's -2 Celsius in Toronto, snow wednesday.
No one has gone to Kempinski resort playa pilar. you would be the very first blog to actually film this resort. There are no you tube videos on this hotel. It is offered by Hola Sun. No one knows this exists. Villas on the water. Playa Pilar is an amazing beach in Cuba. Thanks
Going to Cuba in January a 3 star to me it's the beach ,pool The food well it doesn't matter listen people complaints about no eggs ,do they eat eggs every day I don't think so 😊
I would love you to Check out a small Island country called SRI LANKA 🇱🇰 You can rent out a Rickshaw and travel the whole country. I can be your online guide if you have any questions about Sri Lanka ❤.
The Cubans are victims of their government and powerless the change it. A beautiful bargain tourist destination if you can adjust to problems that come with staying there for a vacation. Best of luck with your planned reports from SE Asia. A bit further but for a longer stay vacation at some amazing places at a real bargain you cant beat Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia.
Hello Mr.Fish
Awesome again. It’s your channel you do you your followers will follow. Whatever you do it will be amazing
Safe travels and take care
Thanks Mike & Jenn,
Look forward to the remaining videos for 2024 and the highlights for you and Jenn of 2024.
Take care. Be safe.

Please go to Thailand next
I haven't checked yet to see what resorts Sunwing dropped from their Cuba itineraries
Hi Mike, when you are in London take the Chunnel train to Paris. First class was a blast, especially since my daughter slept and I had her wine and cheese. It was a wonderful trip. Enjoy.

Yes please!!!!

What resort are you staying at right now?
Closing resorts could be staffing issues food issues even upkeep issues
No one has gone to Kempinski resort playa pilar. you would be the very first blog to actually film this resort. There are no you tube videos on this hotel. It is offered by Hola Sun. No one knows this exists. Villas on the water. Playa Pilar is an amazing beach in Cuba. Thanks
Hi, What is the name of this resort ? Thanks for sharing 😊
I think it is Melia Buenavista
Going to Cuba in January a 3 star to me it's the beach ,pool
The food well it doesn't matter listen people complaints about no eggs ,do they eat eggs every day I don't think so 😊
I’m at a 3 star now having a great time
Forget London, Portugal.
We follow Delightful Travellers and would love you to visit Cabarete and do some videos.
That’s Awesome are they still in Domincan Republic?
@ Ya they just returned to DR for 6 months.
How about other carabean countries???
Can I ask…what type of work do you do that you are able to visit Cuba so frequently?
We just returned from Varadero…our first visit to Cuba
I’m Retired
What resort is this
Playa Cayo Santa Maria
I would love you to Check out a small Island country called SRI LANKA 🇱🇰 You can rent out a Rickshaw and travel the whole country. I can be your online guide if you have any questions about Sri Lanka ❤.
