    Best way to check a resort out is to watch Mikes videos! Keep up the great reviews Mike.

    Can you do a video on what you've learned about when and how to book? Everyone has a different opinion (book last minute, book early etc) but you must have a lot of experience with it. Prices seem to change at random sometimes!

    Hi Mike. I've been watching your videos since you posted Memories Flamngco. I appreciate your honest reviews and you've been very helpful. Could you please check out Sol Palmeras in Varadero or The One Gallery Hotel. In Cayo Santa Maria. Thanks for showing us the beautiful beaches of Cuba 🇨🇺

    Great video as usual. My gf and I only watch your videos before choosing our Cuban resort destination. We appreciate the time and effort you put into, your wife as well, making an honest and non-biased review of the current destination you are at. We will be travelling again to Cuba this year, as we went in January and will be returning in December. I wanted to note that the expectations you speak of are everything. You have to visit Cuba with the understanding that every visit changes from one to the next, Things like Staff and living spaces, and especially beach for me are the tops of the list. Everything else is gonna be what its gonna be. Don't let negative reviews impact your decisions, as we all encounter that one rude person that wants the world, for nothing and demands everything in return. Keep up the amazing work guys. We hope to one day run into you both in Cuba. We absolutely love it there !!!! Cheers, Phil and Sandra : )

    hey i think will be a good idea to make a video about booking options. i personally live on the USA so we do not have the preferential treatment price wise you guys enjoy traveling to Cuba from Canada. our process booking thru some of your must popular sites are height to say the list. is ways to avoid that pretending to block from Canada. however prices are bundle based on the assumption you will fly connected stay. so hotel price vs package are basically the same. so if you have any good insight to make it more afortable just for the hotel bookings understanding that we need to arrange travel and transfers on or own that will be super helpful. i will even table the video traveling to Cuba from the USA i am sure you will hit a very height view rate.

      Usually on the bus from the airport to the hotel, the guide will offer to exchange some money for those that are interested. Their exchange rate is better than the official one used at the hotel exchange office. Sometime, when you are at the beach some locals will come and offer to exchange $ at even better rate than on the bus.

    I will add 1 more tip ...... quit comparing...your $10,000 Sandals Aruba vacation isn't going to compare to your $1000 Cuban vacation. Yes the pics may look similar or better but the food, drinks, service is not going to be there and don't expect it. to. "Most" people book Cuba off price 1st then read reviews then compare and think it will be the same as their last Mexican vacation but its not.
    One thing I always say I sit on the same blue and white beach chair, on a white sand beach, staring at Kool aid blue water drinking the same drink out of the same bubba mug .... now did I pay $10,000? or did I pay $1000? Get what you need from a vacation anything more is a bonus.
