Can you tell me the difference between this hotel and the Ibersostar Playa Pilar in Cayo Coco?

[@gopan2146]

Nice

[@mariochaves4607]

Thank you 😊

[@macleancat]

Thanks Mario. I always wanted to check out this hotel and in early spring stayed at the Playa Parisao and it sucked, worst food ever. I think I will try Ibersostar Playa Pilar. Regards

[@christians218]

Great vid! When were you here? Is it covid times?

[@mariochaves4607]

Thank you. I was there just before covid. I waited to post this video as no one was travelling for a while and I believe most resorts will reopen in a couple months.

[@christianfigueroa7714]

Is there a discotheca? And the beach looks beautiful ! Is it easy to go to playa pilar?

[@mariochaves4607]

Hello, There is a discotheca at thr resort. I went during Covid and at the time it was closed. If you are planning on visiting I would recommend asking if they are open now!!

[@AC-yp5jw]

I didn't watch the whole video yet, but is this resort near Playa Pilar beach? Probably a dumb question I know lol but I been to Playa Pilar about 10 times and I seen new resorts being built around the surrounding area. I usually stay at Hotel Tryp and Hotel Playa Coco (just got to hop on a bus and you're on you're way to playa pilar lol)

[@mariochaves4607]

Hello, it is about a 20 minute walk to the beach from the resort. You can also get there by car and it’s only about a 5 minute drive and well worth it. It’s a beautiful beach and as you already know well worth the drive. Thank you for viewing. I look forward to making more videos once it is safe to do so. 😊👍

[@tulsipatel1261]

I’m going to be visiting the exact resort soon. Would you be able to tell me if they have wifi available? If so, how well does it work and how much would it cost? Thank you!

[@mariochaves4607]

Hello, I apologize for the late response. They have wifi which you are supposed to pay for but while I was there they would always give it to us for free. It woks very well there. Thank you for watching!!

[@seangiffin3308]

Loved the video I am from Canada and am planning to be back in Cuba next year to celebrate my 50th Birthday but i understand there is a state of unrest in Cuba right now over Resorts getting the food and the Cubans are getting nothing so if things don't calm down we may wait to come down or just look at Mexico or Dominican even though my heart is still in Cuba after my first trip a few years back to Varadero. Are things calming down any do you know? By the way this place looks amazing other then the fact it looks like you have to travel a bit to get to a beach with water access that does not require a boardwalk and a set of stairs to get into the water.

[@mariochaves4607]

Hello, thank you for your feedback. I just arrived from Cuba last week. Please feel free to send me an email and will update you on some issues. [e-mail] Thank you 😊

[@alaing.5488]

Were you the only tourist at the resort?

[@adrianrover808]

Hey, Mario, You must have strong local connections, otherwise I cannot explain how on Earth, you've got the whole resort just for you. There's hardly anyone else in the video. Were you doing a commercial?

[@mariochaves4607]

The reason you do not see many people in the video is because I tried to video in the morning or times when there would not be guests around as some do not like to be on video and I respect their privacy especially being that the video is on KZbin. Thank you for watching!!

[@dan1025]

at 5:16 in the video, is that Kraft Peanut Butter? I have always brought my own and have never seen a resort carry the product.

[@mariochaves4607]

Hello Dan, Yes that is Kraft peanut butter. I was surprised myself when I saw it. Thank you for commenting. 😊

[@andreabobandrea8307]

Does anyone know what can of excursions can be done from this resort?

[@mariochaves4607]

They have all the regular Cuban excursions. However due to Covid the excursions are limited. If you want to visit Havana, there is a plane that takes off from Cayo Coco. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you for watching!!

[@CarlosGomz70]

Going to those hotels, ignoring the social reality and lack of freedom of the Cuban people, is also being an accomplice of a cruel dictatorship. Patria y Vida!!!

[@mariochaves4607]

I think most of us are aware of the way they live. However, I know many locals and they have been struggling more without many tourists there during the pandemic. They are grateful and very happy to see tourists, especially Canadians as we tend to tip them well and many bring gifts. Thank you so much for watching and your comment!!

[@chiefrainingstereotype.4184]

Lol. Tourism is the only thing these countries have. I know, they’d be so much better off without it 🙄

[@CarlosGomz70]

@@chiefrainingstereotype.4184 Freedom from communism is what, we, the Cuban need! no to an accomplice tourism. if you want sun and beach you should go to another Caribbean country. when everything explodes , and it will be, you will not want to be there, I assure you.

[@CarlosGomz70]

@@mariochaves4607 and you think "the struggling" is produced by the lack of tourism?... That lack of freedom and the consequences of living in communism is what produce the "struggling" in Cuba No sir, tourism is just an analgesic when is surgery and antibiotics what we need. Don't be an accomplice.

[@rossn.1083]

Is there any beach for swimming in front of hotel?

[@mariochaves4607]

There is a very small beach area in front of hotel. It is the small area you see in the video. However, there is a beautiful beach about 5 minute drive away. Thank you for watching!!

[@jovanjoso]

Very good job,I like video,but I don’t like hotel,definitely is not 5. Star.

[@mariochaves4607]

Hello Jovan, Thank you for your comment. I agree, in Cuba they rate it a 5 star but compared to other 5 star hotels globally it definitely is not a 5 star. Having said that for Cuban standards it is not bad. 😊
