Thank you for the memories. My late wife and I stayed at this resort 12 times over the years. Although I’ve been able to remarry, I won’t go back because of the memories. It was nice to see that Joel was still leading the band. Thanks again…
Cuban coffee is the best. I’ve never had a bad cup in the three different areas of Cuba we visited. This is making me nostalgic for another visit. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦
Thanks Mike and Jen for going to this little gem. We really appreciate your video and looking forward to our return to Cuba in the Fall and Winter this year - including our 3rd trip to Memories Jibacoa in February. What makes Cuba so special are the Cuban people! Keep making the great videos and we hope to bump into you sometime during our trips to Cuba! Cheers!
wow love this....the landscape backdrop is paradise ....love you both, your positive critisism....hope to go here,thank you .much appreciated bro ,and sis ,blessings
very nice resort! enjoy it guys! we know price varies but it will be nice to include the price you pay in each of your videos too. CHEERS!! CUBA is the best!
Wow, I love the ambience of these older resorts, that the newer ones just don’t have. The new resorts are all about concrete and plain rectangular buildings, whereas I love wooden walkways and lots of beautiful gardens.
Thank you for this! I've been to Cuba several times, and I'll continue to go. I really appreciate your videos, this is definitely a place I'll be exploring.
Love the mature grounds , the gorgeous property and cozy rooms. And lots of food choices . Being solo would like upgraded stay but worried about price . Was in Cuba last in 2016 so itching to go back
Thanks for reviewing Jibacoa. Nice to have an adults only resort so close to Havana for a day trip. The resort is definitely showing it's age, but the staff are fantastic. We would definitely return too.
I loved this resort for many reasons !! #1 Food Quality #2 One hour drive to Havana #3 Best experience for snorkeling right on property !! This place is a hidden Cuban Jewel !!! Thanks to the both of you for sharing this amazing video !!
Yes! Jibacoa is a beautiful resort. I am going there again in two weeks. It's too bad I wasn't there earlier. It would of been nice to meet you. Well, maybe next time. Glad you enjoyed yourselves.
@@bogdantrzymaj Vacation was great as well as the food and friendly staff. So much variety of food. The beach is a little pebbly, probably due to the coral reef that is in front, but overall no complaints. It was my second time there, and I will be going again. Hope you enjoy yourself.
@@bogdantrzymaj Vacation was GREAT! Excellent food and staff. A beautiful resort. A nice beach with coral reefs in front. I will definitely be going there again. Enjoy your trip.🏖
Really enjoyed the video as usual. Appreciate the deeper dive than usual into your food experience. Items come and go, I get it, but I enjoyed getting a sense of what you were experiencing in the moment.
Great to see you both. My sister and her husband went to this resort many times and became good friends with one of the staff. My husband and I have been wanting to try this resort, maybe this winter. Enjoy Mike and Jen 🌞🏝
Just watched this, Cuba just has so many great resorts, each one has something different, be it size or beach, but they all seem to have great staff, and I think that is just as important as the other stuff, thank you mike for another great video, amazing camera work, and your smooth vocals help anyone who needs to learn about taking a trip to Cuba, as always thank you for these videos, they have really helped Lorraine and I plan our next trip to Cuba🎉
Hey Mike and Jenny. My wife, Char and I are very happy you both got to go to one of Cuba’s best kept secret in Memories Jibacoa!! Also, happy that others felt the same way we did when we referred this amazing resort. Yes, it is a little dated, but that Cuban charm is everywhere you look. We went to Memories Cayo Coco based on your video and so happy you went to one of our favourites. I am heading back to Jibacoa at the end of September and can’t wait, especially watching your video to get me pumped up for my vacation. Again, happy that you both liked it there and we love the videos!! Keep them coming! Jason & Char - New Brunswick
Wow I must say I'm kinda impressed . I have been up to the resort on the bus to pick people up on our journeys to Havana at least 4 times. And from the bus window pulling up It doesn't look like much I always thought who would stay there? Well my mind has been changed Thanks for enlighten us Mike and Jenny.
As Always You Both are Amazing, You always Make Me Smile With Your Videos, Everytime I See Your Videos I Wish I Was In Cuba 40 More Days. Hope One Day We Meet In Cuba It Would Be A Great Honour
Wooooo Jenn again with you . Nice video of the hotel look quite and charming . I didnt understand where was the location because look like mountains in the area and that for me is not Varadero is hotel one hour of La Havana wooooo nice for me when i go to la havana enjoy the beach for a few days and combine with Havana . Thanks Jenn and Mike nice video sorry i am late but i was in vacation now i going to see video of Havana byyyyyyyy Salud 🍺🍺🍺🏖🏖
Vielen Dank, durch euch ist uns diese wunderbare Hotel aufgefallen. Wir möchten Juni 2025 anreisen um unsere Silberhochzeit nachzufeiern. Wir trinken eine leckere Tasse Kaffee auf euch♥️. Macht weiter so🙏👍🏻🏝⛱ Steffi und Ralf aus Sayn am Rhein
Vielen Dank, dass du meinen Kanal angeschaut und gefunden hast. Vielen Dank für Ihre kindlichen Worte und alles Gute zum bevorstehenden Jubiläum. amüsieren Sie sich und schauen Sie sich unser Jibacoa-Aktivitätenvideo an.
I agree with Jenny. I'm a former travel agent and I prefer the older style Cuban resorts. Back then, they were designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, and not designed for Instagram shots. I've been to a few of the newer 5-star resorts and they are just so... blah! Feels like I'm staying at a Hilton in Niagara Falls and not a beautiful Caribbean country like Cuba.
So glad you tried this place. We've been coming here for the last 10 yrs. I wouldn't try anything else since discovering this gem. The ambiance, the warm staff, consistently good eats and drinks. Adults only a plus. It's quiet. The size is perfect. Like your wife...love the quaintness. . The entertainment top notch. Fun activities. Consistently rated 4 to 5 * on trip advisor.
We went in 2009 loved the water snorkelling on the beach and the beach. Never used the pool. Not a fancy resort but it suited us because we had perfect weather the whole week. Plus we snorkelled everyday. The food was not the best. But we don’t do Cuba anymore cause of the food.
That food tho!! Can’t wait for you to hit 10 K subs!! I’ve been here since 1K!!! Your videos are the background for my mornings. Good job guys. Well played ❤
Memories Jibacoa (and yes, she pronounced it correctly lol) is beautiful...it is good to know that you sent Diamond Club, that's the only was we do any kind of Memories resorts, you have shown us again why we do that lol. The water is beautiful there, I found the beach a bit "crowded" compared to the resort beside it. But both of them are "older" and we LOVE those kind of resorts unlike the newer hotelly ones (is that a word?). And I agree with one main point..."if the wife is happy, then I'm happy" lol Have you noticed when on the mainland you have more food variety etc compared to the Cayos?
lol!!!! Hey Jim!!! Fun, great food, amazing Service great people and loads of Charm!!!! Jenny did love it and I’m glad we went Thanks so much for watching and I totally agree Mike
So nice to see you & Jenny again in a video❤️ We really enjoyed this video (always watch it on the big tv haha) and this place looks amazing, and I love the older style charm. The lush landscape & mountains in the background really make it look extra beautiful. And yes, lots of Mario Andretti drivers down there😜 also, I remember when you got that dress in Thailand! Thanks for another great video, I’d really like to check this place out sometime👍
This resort reminds me a bit like Meliá Cayó Coco. Love the video Mike, Jenny. Hopefully you can do a video of Meliá Cayó Coco when it reopens in October or November this year with their new upgrades. Cheers guys and thank you
This place might be a little dated but still looks great. I love that you said veranda lol. Food comes and goes in Cuba but looks like there was NO shortage there by the looks of it! Thank for sharing Mike!
Great job again! Do they still have the hike up the hill in front of the hotel? It used to leave from the lobby and the view back down at the ocean and hotel are impressive!
We have finally decided to go away either Jan or Feb. Cuba is one of our options but we have heard many people say it is not good right now do to fuel shortage; causing issues with incoming supplies such as food etc. Have you noticed any big changes lately? There is a local person here (Ontario) says he has never had an issue at Memories Jibacoa he has been there 6 or 7 times. Great review Thanks you for you for sharing your stay.
👍🏻⭐️⭐️ another great video M&J. Nice resort. Question I noticed that there was a lot of stairs there for people that have issues with stairs. Are there any ramps one can use instead Thx
Mike/Jen, thanks for the video. Seems to be a nice seasoned resort. Tells me a lot about the staff. Just curious since it is 'Adults-Only' do they allow the locals to stay at the resort on weekends? Thanks from: John & Heather Cornwall, Ontario
Hey John and Heather “Cornwalls” in the house 😀 Locals stay at any resort if they have money I find not on Weekends Because the price goes up But that just my observation Mike
Mike, I see you travelled with Air Transat, was this a part of a package or just the flight. The reason I am asking is that I cannot find an All Inclusive package with Air Transat. I have travelled several times to Cuba and this video has perked my interest in this resort. Thanks. I am looking forward to the activity video
Years ago, my husband and I went to Turtle beach club at Jibacoa which is now, if I am not mistaken, known as Starfish Jibacoa, right next door to the Memories. It was previously a resort for the officers of the Cuban military and their families. It was small, a bit tired but quaint. What I remember most was that there was a bartender who made the most amazing Spanish coffees we've ever had! Think we'll give this Memories Jibacoa a try!
If you are going to Holguin Mike, you definitely gotta check out Sol Rio De Luna Y Mares. It has a very high return guest rate. Some people have been there over 40 times 😮
Great video Mike!! Glad to se Jen could join you. (you have a very supportive Wife) The food there looks great and of course the beach is fantastic and it looks like they really groom it. With the older Resorts do you find any difference in Staff say compared to a new Resort? Take care and safe travels.
Some of the staff here have been here since it opened. They love it like their second home. Newer resorts usually have a younger staff sometimes in training-
Mikey and Jenny, Great to see ya'll together again. Jenny is so much cuter than tou Mike. I love hearing her takes on things as well. Ya'll's interactions remind me of how my wife Laurie and I are together. Tell me about how my knees will like this place. Elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get around everywhere? Thanks ya'll. Steve S.
you guys are just amazing ! when did you go, what was the price. nice video great explanations by you both. i will consider coming to this resort. Many thanks to you both. Cheers, Jim
Hey Mike, nice resort. How is the situation with jellyfish 🪼 when swimming at the beach? My sisters husband was stung by one at one of the Jibacoa resorts.
Nicely done. I've been, snd there are certainly many positives that'd you've highlighted. The resort has an undeniable " je ne sais quoi". ... But, TBH the beach is a disappointment when compared to Cayo Coco / Cruz / Largo, theres no long beach walking, nor can you go far into the water before you reach coral.
The wife and I were there last January. The resort is wonderful, especially because of it's smaller size. We've stayed at other sprawling resorts and didn't care for all the walking (save that for walking the beach !) to get anywhere. The only low scores we could give this resort was the nightly entertainment was not up to par compared to other memories branded resorts. Given the proximity to Havana, one would expect different shows each night. Many guests would get up and leave within the first 10 minutes or so. Secondly, the resort entertainment staff could do better getting daily activities going. Guest participation was very low the week we were there because there never seemed to be anything happening, at the pool or the beach. The hike up and over the hill out front of the resort was great. We really enjoyed our week at Memories Jibacoa otherwise.
Do you find food selection better in off season? I went last January and never saw an egg or bacon. Is it a too many people thing in high season to provide all resorts? Can't justify going in July just to eat better.
I never was here in high season so can’t comment on that!!! I found the good to be good like I showed and said in the video!!! We never travel for food!!!! We love the beach and weather
@@Finding-FishI would like a good social scene. I think varadero is more lively. I was at Blau varadero last year, liked it, but curious what you have to suggest
Good day .The wife and l love watching your video's. We are going to The Club Amigo Atlántico Guardalavca Holguin in Aug 17th 2024. Maybe you should visit it at that time . We would love to see you. Have a great day.
Thank you for the memories. My late wife and I stayed at this resort 12 times over the years. Although I’ve been able to remarry, I won’t go back because of the memories. It was nice to see that Joel was still leading the band. Thanks again…
Thanks For Watching
And I totally get it out of Respect!!!
For your late wife!!!
Thanks for your comment!!!
I know the place, beautiful snorkeling, there, easy access from the beach. The resort is also beautifull.
It really is!
Cuban coffee is the best. I’ve never had a bad cup in the three different areas of Cuba we visited. This is making me nostalgic for another visit. 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦
Absolutely love the coffee too!!!!

Wow Mike you had me sold on this place at 5min 3sec in when the eggs AND bacon showed up at your table, may have to book this place for September.
The food quality is very good for Cuba Standing

Nice resort I might have to try that one cheers to you and your wife. Grimsby Dave
Hello Dave From Grimsby!!!!!

Stayed there twice myself many moons ago. Looks the same. It is a lovely place when you want to get away from it all.
It was a great experience glad we went
This resort reminds me a bit like Meliá Cayó Coco. Love the video Mike, Jenny. Hopefully you can do a video of Meliá Cayó Coco when it reopens in October or November this year with their new upgrades.
Cheers guys and thank you
Yes we will try to get there!
That place looks awesome, and the food looks so healthy.

Great job again! Do they still have the hike up the hill in front of the hotel? It used to leave from the lobby and the view back down at the ocean and hotel are impressive!
Yup coming up in the Activity video we made
We have finally decided to go away either Jan or Feb. Cuba is one of our options but we have heard many people say it is not good right now do to fuel shortage; causing issues with incoming supplies such as food etc. Have you noticed any big changes lately? There is a local person here (Ontario) says he has never had an issue at Memories Jibacoa he has been there 6 or 7 times. Great review Thanks you for you for sharing your stay.
I’m here for the next 4 months making videos and things come and go!!!
But I have never gone hungry ever!!!
Jibacoa had great food selection for Cuba
Wonderful video guys! Just wondering if you can buy coffee to bring home here at this resort or any resort you've been too?
Yup, or by it at the airport!!!
Pretty standard most resort sell it
👍🏻⭐️⭐️ another great video M&J.
Nice resort. Question I noticed that there was a lot of stairs there for people that have issues with stairs. Are there any ramps one can use instead Thx

Hey John and Heather “Cornwalls” in the house 😀
Locals stay at any resort if they have money
I find not on Weekends
Because the price goes up
But that just my observation
Mike
Mike, I see you travelled with Air Transat, was this a part of a package or just the flight. The reason I am asking is that I cannot find an All Inclusive package with Air Transat. I have travelled several times to Cuba and this video has perked my interest in this resort. Thanks. I am looking forward to the activity video
The Best deal will be the Sunwing package
Air/transfer/hotel all inclusive deal.

But I did see it recently on trip central going for a good deal!!!!!
Mike
Looke great - can you visit the Sol Luna Y Mares in Holguin ?
You think is good?
@@Finding-Fish very good
Love your videos 😊 When did you visit this resort?
Thank you
We were there 2 weeks ago
Hey Mike, nice resort. How is the situation with jellyfish 🪼 when swimming at the beach? My sisters husband was stung by one at one of the Jibacoa resorts.
We have heard the jellyfish come in Fall
We didn’t have a problem
Please do video Melia International veradero
I think it’s in the list Ted!!!!!

Welcome 🤗
Have you ever been to the mojito in Cayo coco.
No not yet
No not yet
Cheers I’m going next week to check it out I bought the vip package I’ll let you know what’ it’s like. I really enjoyed the daiquiri
Nicely done. I've been, snd there are certainly many positives that'd you've highlighted. The resort has an undeniable " je ne sais quoi". ...
But, TBH the beach is a disappointment when compared to Cayo Coco / Cruz / Largo, theres no long beach walking, nor can you go far into the water before you reach coral.
There is absolutely no comparison for the beach but if your into snorkeling and activities this resort was great
@@Finding-Fish True about the snorkeling. It's also in a good location for a wee trip to Havana
do starfish Jibacoa next
Really
Maybe 🤔
Thanks Mike
Hi, thank you for the video. I make some videos also and I have been using my phone, just wondering what you are using. thanks again, cheers

Hi ..love your videos question how is the wifi there and also is it free?
The wifi is always free in Cuba 🇨🇺
@Finding-Fish thanks
Any gluten free options available?
Well I should as much food in the video as possible
I’m not a dietitian 😀 and it’s Cuba 🇨🇺 lots of great choices but
If your really picky sorry 😞
The wife and I were there last January. The resort is wonderful, especially because of it's smaller size. We've stayed at other sprawling resorts and didn't care for all the walking (save that for walking the beach !) to get anywhere.
The only low scores we could give this resort was the nightly entertainment was not up to par compared to other memories branded resorts. Given the proximity to Havana, one would expect different shows each night. Many guests would get up and leave within the first 10 minutes or so.
Secondly, the resort entertainment staff could do better getting daily activities going. Guest participation was very low the week we were there because there never seemed to be anything happening, at the pool or the beach. The hike up and over the hill out front of the resort was great.
We really enjoyed our week at Memories Jibacoa otherwise.
Awesome
Do you find food selection better in off season? I went last January and never saw an egg or bacon. Is it a too many people thing in high season to provide all resorts? Can't justify going in July just to eat better.
Could you also please mention when you are at each place? You do sometimes but not always. I am assuming this was around June or July.
This was July
This is hard to answer- food and supplies come and go and each resort can be different. The offerings were plentiful at this resort in July
I never was here in high season so can’t comment on that!!!
I found the good to be good like I showed and said in the video!!!
We never travel for food!!!!
We love the beach and weather
I’m here before now I’m asking that any bugs bite there last time No .thx
I did not get one bug bite- flies around outside at dinner but not too bad.
Nope
Did you notice if there were ramps or elevators for travellers who use walkers?
No ramps or elevators but only two stories
Hi is there a resort you could recommend for a single senior in Cuba
Go to Grand Aston Paredon
I made a few videos about it!!!!
Great resort and lots of senior there too!!!
Not far from Cayo Coco airport
@@Finding-Fish thank you. Wishing yoyu the best with your travels.
Mikey, Which Grand Aston are you talking about here?
It’s a silent j.
You guys have tedious personalities but you make the best Cuba videos.
lol
Yes but, my mom always told me I was slow!!!!!
lol
Thanks Joshua
Could you recommend me a resort ? Im a 39 year old single male.
You you like busy or quiet
When do you plan to ho
@@Finding-FishI would like a good social scene. I think varadero is more lively. I was at Blau varadero last year, liked it, but curious what you have to suggest
@@Finding-Fish I'm looking for a month with sunny weather but warmer sea
Good day .The wife and l love watching your video's. We are going to The Club Amigo Atlántico Guardalavca Holguin in Aug 17th 2024. Maybe you should visit it at that time . We would love to see you. Have a great day.
