I love cuba . Selectrum is right next door from Grand aston . It is a great resort . Nice and quiet. Clean and staff are great. Goung back to that dame resort for the third time in April . Great review. Thanks.

I wanna go to Grand Aston but are you saying their beach is full of rocks? Kinda wish you took pictures of beach. I went to International, Melia and Barcelo Solymar and they all had a great beach

Wish i like cuba....its so cheap but food and luxury come first for us

I looked up Valentine casa blanca but could only find valentine Perla blanca.Are they the same?

What’s the hotel with that boardwalk you’re walking on thanks

Thanks for the video. My s/o and I will be at Sanctuary in 10 days ☺️

Well done!

Great review. We are looking to go back to Valentin Perla Blanca. We were there when it first opened. I love that Lobby Bar.

Go over Christmas if you can...the Christmas eve meal is amazing. I've been to the resort christmas's 2023 and 2024. They put on a great meal.

Hey man, nice video! I am the front desk guy of Valentín Perla Blanca, we talked last time you were there, just wanna say thank you for sharing your experience in Valentín Perla Blanca! See Ya!

Paradisus los Cayos is better!!!! It’s a 5 star melia hotel and it’s just next to VALENTÍN CHECK IT OUT

It would be great if the Canadian gov would give money to Cuba to help out

i hear you say price was great but you no tell us the price why do you not say ......are you paid by the resort to make these viedos

I can confirm that Cayo Coco has the best beaches, period. Been all over cube and a few other countries in the Caribbean, and nothing compares. Me and my wife have been to Cayo Coco nine times.

Mine as well, we were there 3 years ago with friends in Jan. Awesome time.

The beach is so dreamy. I've never been to that part of Cuba, only Varadero. The long drive to and from the airport has held me back. I might just need to suck it up and go anyway.

Thank you for your honest review. I really appreciate it! I'm looking forward for Grand Aston video!

I also get that luxe feeling with Paradisus Rio de Oro in Holguin, which is also owned by Melia! I also heard they have their own transportation. Yeah, the south beaches in Cuba are usually rocky.

Valentin is my favourite, happy to hear the service is setting it apart! Hope to see you there!!

if you ever get a chance to visit Cayo Largo do it. been there twice and no beach is like Playa Paraiso

We stayed at Selectum and we walk to Grand Aston for the beach. Compared to cayo coco where bugs will eat you alive, we didn’t use bug repellent even for 1 day at Selectum. Will try Grand Aston next as we find very convenient to go to buffet area just on the first floor beneath the guest rooms.

Best beaches in Varadero are at Sol Varadero, Melia International, Blau and Royalton Hicacos. Grand Aston is not hitting it

I’ve travelled Cuba solo since 2008, staying in towns and cities all over the country. I have stayed at hotels in Cayo Santa Maria, Holguin, Varadero and Cayo Coco…the best beaches by far are those at Cayo Santa Maria. Melia Chain Hotels generally attract me. Varadero is ok, but the beaches are tired, worn. Holguin is country, and amazing because of the forestation, old gardens, mature trees, but the beaches tend to be shallow watered, with a lot of coral beds. For a quiet, reclusive stay the hotels are fine. I prefer Sol Turquesa. Cayo Coco, ok, but I don’t love it. I’ll keep trying. Maybe Caribe will be my next stay. Thanks for the great reporting.

I agree! It’s amazing when it’s busier forsure!

The beach is beautiful. Do you think this resort is mostly for couples? Looks really romantic and chill

Haha Cuba NEVERRRR

I would love to go back. Been going to Cuba from Canada sinse 1995. Food quality has become unbearable and un-eatable so I wont be returning for that reason.

Our fav place ❤

You're right, this resort is immaculate. 👍 We're going twice to Cuba this winter Jan and Feb. You just can't beat their current prices We did the same this summer 2 trips in 1 months. Yes the buffet was closed a fews time for breakfast.... breakfast was served at snacks bar and limited.... it's to be expected when paying 825$ for 7 days😮 Wish I was in Cuba right now.... 😊

We made the cut! We’ve been waiting to be in the video! Awesome! We love ya buddy and we are your biggest fans my dude! Keep it up! - Z&K

Curious about the water and ice situation at a resort. I got sick in Havana a few years ago by drinking some water on a very hot day.

Wow ur 3rd VPB video!! You clearly love this place haha, I’m going back for the 5th time this year on Wednesday 😂

You still haven’t answered my question of what’s been your fav resort in Cuba ? Haha. Which one is it?

I was at this hotel in 2016 and I don't remember any mosquitoes

❤thank you. Great job on the video. My husband and I just booked this resort.

Quality work. I enjoy exploring the hotels I have not yet stayed at via your content. I have stuck with Melia hotels over the past 17 years only because I’m familiar with their platform. I find repeat visits or visiting hotels of similar models saves the time I spend navigating new unfamiliar hotels. BUT maybe it’s time I stepped out of my comfort zone a little bit. I too am a solo Canadian Cuba traveller and have explored the island several times over in the 18 years on my own, always feeling completely safe, valued and cared for. Most Cuban’s value Canadian visitors, or at least those who are respectful. I have lived 6 months annually off-resort in Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Vedado, Santa Clara until the pandemic. Durning those extended stays when I became bored the my city my apartment rental was in, I’d simply book 3 to 4 nights at a resort hotel online or at a Cuban Travel Agency, hop on a Viazul and chill for a bit. The world’s your oyster. Enjoy your travels and don’t forget to explore authentic Cuba. It changes you forever. 💕 Oh, maybe you already know this, but the visitors visa you obtain when you book your flight into Cuba to a resort grants travellers 30 days to visit, however, if your Canadian you really can stay for 90 days on that 30 day visa. A day before the 90 days expires, you can renew the visitors visa at a municipal office for another 30 day pass, which gives you an additional 90 days. So it’s easy for a Canadian to stay there and travel freely for six months. The trade relationship between Canada and Cuba has never been marred by the US embargo. We trade freely and have done so since 1945. So I encourage you to take advantage of the freedoms granted to Canadians travelling and staying in Cuba. Go out there and explore.

How much was the beer there ?

Google map in Cuba 😮 same thing happened to me in Cayo Cruz, we walked the road an decided to cut back towards the ocean. The trail was showing on Google map....but halfway there, nothing but rocks and bushes. We did make it, not without a lot of 🤬🤬🤬 Love your channel and content

Nice video..i love exploration..i recomend u cayo largo del sur

the suffering KZbinrs go thru for a content!:)

Cayo Santa Maria … one of the best beach areas , in the world ! 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️🇨🇺🇨🇺

The beauty of Cuba 🇨🇺 I think I would pass on that hike through the reserve 😁😁

Looks like higher tide there, you usually can walk to the reserve on the sand and avoid those rocks without walking in the water when the tides low

Don’t worry about the wildlife, I can be your friend. You are the bravest guy I know. Keep the videos coming 😊

Always happy to see you have posted another video. I’m working on my first video from Cayo Cruz. Hope to have it out soon but still learning. Thanks for your inspiration. ❤

We we're told that we could upgrade for $65/pp per day. In US prices. Was not worth it for us due to renovation

I really like your videos. I just started my channel. Will take me some time to get so many views

How big is your laptop? Would canon 100=400 fit?

Hey. I’m new to your channel. What’s the best resort that you’ve stayed at in Cuba so far ?

AWESOME !
