Thanks for all the Work on these Videos! I've been and keep going to Cuba! We were just in Melia Buanavista in CSM for 14 days! What a wonderful time we had!!!
Another great video I stayed at the resort next door it was called super club breezes Costa verde back in 2001. The resort was nice but it must be aged by now. Great video. The market in that town was nice. Cheers grimsby Dave keep up the great work your videos are very informative and amazing
Have stayed in the hotel and the villas. I prefer the villas and the pool area is less congested. Have been there many times. Great resort for families.
Wow! 30+ years is right, I was here when I was 17 years old, parts of it were still being built, it was my first time to the carribean, Thanks Mike, I only have a handful of pictures from that trip...it's great to be able to see it now
Happiness is watching new Finding Fish content while sitting on a beach in Huatulco. Looking forward to your DR and Mexico content. Fascinating to see these old Cuban resorts.
A great video from Cuba Series as usual. We’re heading down to Cuba this week and will be catching up with your future shows in December when returning ☕️🥚🇨🇺🏖☀️
I have a friend that LOVES this resort. We used to go to Brisas Santa Lucia until COVID (can't get there easily anymore) so she goes here all the time now. It's inexpensive, has all that you need, nice aged resort hehehee. We love the old age charm of these kind of resorts. This one is on my list of possible Holguin resorts for our first foray to the area.
@@Finding-Fish exactly...just like it was as Brisas Santa Lucia (I'm still the moderator for one of the Facebook groups hehehe). COVID ruined the place though :( Everyone we know has left for other resorts or to the US (some at Esmeralda that you are/were at recently lol).
@@arthurraleigh5812 From Toronto with Sunwing I paid $1800 for 13 nights Dec 13-26 2024, solo, booked early November. Was cheaper per person if two or more. I came Oct 1, 2024 for one week with Transat's Solo Collection and only paid $629. That was booked back in May, highest was $719, lowest $619. Very good value.
Thanks for the review Mike!! I just love those Classic cars. The Resort looks fantastic and I like the groundskeeping of the older Resorts. Honestly have you ever found a bad Resort in Cuba? Take care and safe travels.
It still looks amazing after the 25 years since i visited. I stayed in the villa section. It was so amazing. I've stayed in 3 different regions in Cuba. This was my favorite. Do they still have the market down the road? Always enjoy your video's ❤ Stay cool 😎
This is a resort, my wife and I want to check out sometime, but it will have to be on a future trip as we will be traveling to Marea to put some much needed money and supplies into the area considering the state after 2 hurricanes and now the earthquake... they need soo much help, thank goodness my friends and Familia are all safe but the next few months will be brutal for them as they try to recover.
That guy is great!!! Loved the guy if you see home say hello for me He is also in a Reel I made!!! Flymike.ca Find it and check it out and pass it along
Fish can you pls tell me how are things after the earthquake I’m going to Melina on Nov 23 I can’t get a hold of my ppl down there is there power back varadero i love your videos
@@Finding-Fish Hi, we've chatted before. Name's Mario from Cambridge Ont. Wife and I travelled to Memories Caribe on your recommendation. So your my age. 56 ish. Good for you.
Hello and thank you for the video Is it safe to go now to Cuba? We got very discouraged to book something for December when we saw the weather and problems going on there Can you advise please Thank you and have fun
Just came back from cayo santa maria. Although the resort was great it was disturbing to see that the quality of life of the average Cuban is likely BELOW that of 70 years ago! Past time for the Cubans to negotiate with the Americans to end the embargo. Many Canadians who have been to Cuba recently will never go back - me included. I'd worry that the country can run out of jet fuel to get home!
This was the resort I went to for my first trip to Cuba! This was where I first fell in love with the country, the people 🇨🇺 ❤
Nice 👍
When you see the beach and sunset there I know why
Same❤
Didn’t see the bar opposite the check in at the main entrance. It was there 2 years ago. Is it gone?
Guardalavaca Cuba, my favorite place ..beautiful beaches & people. 🌴🏖🍹
Absolutely the beach and Sunset are very nice and great old area
We love Brisas, it has classic old time charm…been there 12 times👍
Already booked for next visit!
Nice
Great pizza and burgers at the snack bar
Hola amigo. This used to be the party resort before, but it seems quieter now. So many memories here since i was kid. Great video! Thanks
I could tell!!!
Still seems that people like to have fun there!!!
Nice video .... we stay for 4 weeks and love it .... the only thing you missed was how friendly the staff are.
One of your best videos,Thanks.
Thanks 🙏
Mike
Thanks Mike, great video, good to learn more hotel in Cuba 🙏

Great review we are hitting Cuba up in April have you done a review of the grand Aston Varadero ?
No
But Grand Aston Paredon
I’m seriously considering going to Brisas next February ❤ looks pretty good. Thanks for sharing the video
It’s an older Resort!!!
If you upgrade to the room that I stayed in you’ll love the place!!!
Older but solid
Cheap and cheerful
@ I consider the upgrade as I like it a bit quieter. Don’t mind old, solid, cheap and cheerful is just what I like 🤩
It's not luxury but it has an unique style Thank you for sharing.
Cheap and cheerful
@@Finding-Fish How cheap? You forgot to mention that part? ;)

You know!!!
I’m happy just being in the heat
Loved the look of the new Marina when I was there last. Was wondering if they rebuilt the old stage behind the main one?
It still looks amazing after the 25 years since i visited. I stayed in the villa section. It was so amazing. I've stayed in 3 different regions in Cuba. This was my favorite. Do they still have the market down the road?
Always enjoy your video's ❤ Stay cool 😎
Thanks Surf and Turf
It looks nice at our old resort
Thanks for watching

Yes true
Praying that all will be great there for Christmas...going there❤
It will be
Me too! 13-27 Dec.
The cab drivers name is Aldo. He is an amazing person with nothing but hospitality.
That guy is great!!!
Loved the guy if you see home say hello for me
He is also in a Reel I made!!!
Flymike.ca
Find it and check it out and pass it along
Very nice. My parents loved it there after killing their feet with the rocks, they bought water shoes. Lol
lol
😆 water shoes are mandatory at some resorts
@@Finding-Fish yes you wouldn’t want to catch any fungus/athletes foot
@@Finding-Fish quick way of getting 6 foot that’s for sure
Ill stick with Varadero. Booked the Sanctuary in March .
Good job Bob
BTW, we have been to Brisas 4 times, stayed in Villas! Loved it everytime!
I can see why!!!
Thanks for the comment
Fish can you pls tell me how are things after the earthquake I’m going to Melina on Nov 23 I can’t get a hold of my ppl down there is there power back varadero i love your videos
The news is not telling me anything
Hey Fish wondering if you will be visiting the renovated and rebranded Starfish in Cayo Santa Maria( Resonance Blue/Musique) ?
Not yet Noel
It was closed last fall when I was there or was close to closing
Hi Mike, if you are still in Cuba, could you please share some updates after the earthquake and another hurricane last week? Thanks!
Coming Sunday 9:am

That’s a steal
Hello! Where do you find your deals? Thank you in advance

Please make a video of your stay there
So many resorts…. So hard to choose when you have never been. 😫
Where are you coming from and what do you need from this get away?
Start with that
What have been your top 3 resorts in the past year? Soft sand and clean is what we want…. Some entertainment
Hello and thank you for the video
Is it safe to go now to Cuba? We got very discouraged to book something for December when we saw the weather and problems going on there
Can you advise please
Thank you and have fun
I’m not a travel Advisor
But I’m here now!!!
Update Video out Sunday
And Monday
Water is warm
Sky is blue video coming soon
@ sounds good ❤️

Yup I understand Cuba isn’t for everyone
But never let worry steal happiness
Hi Mike I’m just wondering if you’ve seen anyone selling Vapes
No never
Smokes are dirt cheap though
@@Finding-Fish thanks Mike. Have a good one.
