My wife and I walked through here a few weeks ago. What a dump. No toilet paper in the main lobby, no soap, looked like a homeless shelter. I think we saw maybe? five people in the lobby all Cubanos. I wouldn't stay there even if it was free. Memories Santa Maria is next door. Food is ehhhhh most of the time, but what freaks u out, is that they leave the raw fish and chicken on the table?? Massive health problem but they dont appear to give a $ typical Cubano mentality

How does a la carte work for Sanctuary do you get it every day if you want

@fan1080Travels 2 ай бұрын

You can have an A La Carte every day if you can get one booked. You'll have to touch base with your butler each morning, they book the restaurants for you.

how far is the bus ride and are there any bathrooms at the beach please and thanks , great video

@fan1080Travels 3 ай бұрын

Transfer time from the airport to the resort depends on the number of pee stops on the way... 🙂. If they are selling beer on the bus (sometimes they do, sometimes they don't), you can expect more than one stop en route for pee breaks. You can expect anywhere from 75 minutes to 100 minutes. As far as bathrooms by the beach, there is a very big one straight ahead off the beach... ;-). Other than the ocean, no bathroom by the beach.

It is possible to accept that everyone has the right to visit the place they want but it is not possible to accept collaboration with a dictatorship that is killing the Cuban people. People full of needs in Cuba, and all because that murderous dictatorship steals the money that tourists bring and uses it to promote dictatorships in other countries and that lead to the impoverishment of entire societies. You must be ashamed to collaborate with them and at the same time lie when you say that you love Cuba and Cubans. That is a great shame because all that money, far from helping the Cuban people, is plunging them into slavery and poverty. Money used to buy means of repression and increase their personal accounts in other countries to guarantee only their future and that of their families while the people go to hell Open your consciences and stop traveling to Cuba until it is a free country, without political prisoners without repression , without hunger. The services, the food and the resorts are also in a very bad conditions specially the medical services. It will be terrible if you get sick overthere. The country is currently experiencing an outbreak of a mosquito-borne disease. This disease is called Oropouche and causes very annoying and dangerous symptoms such as nausea, fever, headaches, decline in appetite and in some cases can cause a kind of meningitis. The dictatorship does not have all the means and resources to provide medical attention for the people or visitors.If they tell you otherwise , do not believe them because it is a big lie. The dictatorship has gained thousands of people since the early 1990s thanks to tourism but not a single penny of that money has been used to improve the lives of this people but to support and collaborate with other dictatorships in the region and the most visible recent example is what is happening in Venezuela where there are thousands of Cuban minions paid by the dictatorship to massacre, repress , imprison and violate the human rights of the people of Venezuela. It is time not to travel to Cuba, that bad government has destroyed a jewel in the Caribbean and you can collaborate and much in the elimination of that dictatorship. Make us aware and help us with your understanding DO NOT TRAVEL TO CUBA, FREEDOM FOR ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS IN THE PRISONS OF THE DICTATORSHIP. NO COMMUNISM. DOWN WITH THE CASTRO-CANEL DICTATORSHIP

@fan1080Travels 5 ай бұрын

@@katier1145 We always get to the pool or beach before we go to Breakfast to get a nice location. Then head over to the buffet for when it opens. This isn't ideal for many people, but we are early to bed every night, rarely stay up past 9pm. It also varies from resort to resort, time of year you are traveling, and how many folks are like minded with getting up early (especially if there are quite a few that play the towel game). So many factors dictate what time is ideal to get a spot, which is why we like to get there early. As far as food... well, that's a rather difficult one. Food is very subjective, what we find good, will be, and has been, someone else's disgusting chow. We are not picky eaters and have never had an issue with the food while traveling. Sorry, I wish I could help you further with the food, it's a topic that has baffled me (as to why some folks find the food disgusting) over my many years of traveling.

Tks for the video. As a Sanctuary guest, how many al la cartes did you have?

There are no limits on the number of A La Cartes. However, it wasn't always very easy to book them. You have to book them through your butler, daily, but each butler has a limited number of tables available to book and they tend to book up fast. To be sure you do get something, see your butler first thing each morning.
