The food does not look great.

[@andrewchevrier]

When we went to Playa Pilar 10 years ago, staying at Melia Cayo Guillermo, we took a taxi. Got to drive in a Lada, that was fun. We brought some beer from the mini fridge, and just used hotel beach towels. It was like 10$. Beach was nice, but so was the hotel beach…Weather was nice that day at least! Glad you made the best of the excursion under the circumstances!

[@cab377]

Man Ken, you got played at Playa lol.

[@revealandreview9662]

I really enjoyed this video. The food looked pretty bad though and like you said the beach is just as nice at the resort. I think I'd save the money and pass on that excursion. There has to be better excursions offered by the resort.

[@jessicaestes3404]

Due to my husband's job in the US military, we can't travel to Cuba, so thanks for letting us live vicariously though you and Carol! Have a rum for us!

[@Ken_Domik]

Cheers 🍻

[@doug7745]

You could fligh out of Mexico or Canada.

[@ralphwestphal1914]

That lunch didn’t look very good to me. The lobster looked dry and I’d rather have cake then just pineapple chunks for dessert

[@loseto61]

I will be at the Pullman Hotel on March 18th

[@BadMitzi]

How was it? Is the beach noisy?

[@MikesVegas]

Looks like Lobster broth 🤔😂

[@Ramon_92]

First time in my life that i seen a bar that doesnt serve beers....

[@loseto61]

Just wanted to know if you've been to Pullman Hotel in cayo coco

[@m0ritz18]

Thanks for showing us all the great stuff! :)

[@HungPham-dp4mc]

May come back in August

[@doug7745]

Watched your KZbin video for first time on my smart TV. Excellent picture quality and sound. Will do again. Keep videos coming.

[@MarcDumont]

Ken, we want more of this :-)

[@rossn.1083]

glad you are enjoying your trip, sounds like your excursion was a ripoff, lobster didn't look very appetizing I always enjoyed the double decker for five bucks and then come and go as I pleased seems like nowadays we are paying more for less in cuba any who have fun.

[@tylertame1781]

Have you been to Lenny’s Bar and Grill? It’s also known as Playa Prohibita and it’s an amazing place you should visit if you haven’t already

[@RaeperFawks]

Victor is a big big star

[@missmissy1390]

How were the sand fleas on the beach? Went to cuba a couple years ago and I swore Id never go back.

[@Ken_Domik]

Haven’t seen any

[@missmissy1390]

@@Ken_Domik you cant see them, but youll feel them usually in 24 hours. Youre legs may be itching and have red spots. It was a very unpleasant experience. Hopefully you and youre wife have better luck!

[@allysonsmith2532]

Cuban Ninja cat!!!! I knew you were gonna see him/her again!!!!! :o). That made me happy!

[@marystellas]

can you go to playa pilar just by paying the bus? without the food included etc?

[@Ken_Domik]

I think the island bus drops people off there, ask your hotel staff or take a taxi or rent motorcycles

[@alanisbjurstrom2389]

The place is so beautiful and I wish I could go there someday. However, the food doesn’t really look that good. Hope you didn’t spend too much money on it.

[@leannej1260]

They no longer have the CUC. Did you just take Canadian money😃😃

[@steel19812]

Glad youre still there! The fun dont stop.

[@loseto61]

Sorry Ken I meant vlog...

[@patrickcooper9641]

Hi there Carol and Ken, I am glad that you semi enjoyed your excursion to Playa Pilar. It is sad that the Melia hotel sub contracts these locations for their guests, but that's how they make extra money! The weather as you know was typical for the Caribbean! Rain for 10 min and sunshine for the next hour! My favorite part is to go swimming while it's raining! Sorry but what you were served was not a lobster soup but a lobster broth! You are the expert at foods, look it up! I am happy that you are enjoying your vacation and can't wait to have you back home to see more stealth camping! Ciao

[@sharkied8293]

Great vid Ken. I thought that was you bartending in that first bar lol 😆 😂 🤣

[@airgunsfreedom700ssp3]

Hi Ken. I noticed when you went to lennys, you had a beer. From other videos I have seen lately, as well as this one, beer is not available. Do you have any insight on why that is ?

[@loseto61]

Great job on your blog just wondering if you ever been to the Pullman hotel in Cayo Coco if so how is it keep up the good work

[@timbowhite3215]

Good Afternoon My Good Big Bro Ken Domik Sir & God Bless You & Carol & All Of You're Whole Family This Afternoon

[@AmyMichelle777]

Amazing video hope you and your wife enjoy your vacation in Cuba stay safe

[@JohnJohnson-ys2jg]

Hey Ken, John from London Ontario. When you get back from your trip try the meat mountain from Arby’s! You will need your 10000 steps after lol

[@kingjohnlizardparanormal]

Awesome Video Ken and Carol , love y'all

[@rangerxlt3]

Turned out to be a nice day at the beach. Reminds me of Florida it can pour for like 10 minutes and stop.

[@viralp2103]

Love vlogs

[@roberthamilton1301]

Looked pretty ordinary indeed. The water was it's only redeeming qualitie. From a distance. Thanks for the video 👍

[@TheUncommonKIBBLES]

Super neat. Love the video and edit. THANKS!!

[@mr.piechipsandbakedbeans7967]

Did anyone spot Ken's doppelganger at 4:28?

[@trishgarvey6616]

Thank you so much for your video Absolutely loved Seeing pilar. I don't know if the hop on hop off bus is still running but if it is It's a flat fee for the day And it takes you to Pilar And if Melia Is still doing sister resort day passes, It makes for a very fun day trip to go to pilar, and then go to one of the sister resorts with a very Minimal cost.

[@Ken_Domik]

This was a bus that only picked up a few locations, waited at Pilar until we left, took us to lunch and home. You can still do the hop on hop off bus and bring your own lobster lunch 🥗

[@Nannerchan]

Pack the cat in your luggage.

[@RaginMoose100]

Great video Ken! How long was the bus ride from your hotel to Playa Pilar beach and how long was the entire excursion?

[@arobichaud001]

Thank you very much for sharing your video! Crystal is also my favourite 😁 I will soon be returning to Cuba for the first time since the pandemic. What can I bring with me that is most needed by Cubans? Medication, toothpaste, clothes, school supplies?

[@Ken_Domik]

If you have pain medications,for adults, children and babies. Old back packs you don’t use anymore. Gently used shoes or new. Blue Jays hats and t shirts 👕

[@arobichaud001]

Thank you, that is most helpful. I will bring all the medication that I can and shoes of all sizes. I’m in Moncton, NB flying out of Halifax, I will try my best to find Blue Jays memorabilia.

[@louiseschultheiss5162]

Thank you for sharing

[@pack-your-bag]

Wow, Have to say not the best trip. Thanks for letting me know what excursion not to go on...lol I can see why people would leave, but yeah they should of told the driver. Esa no fue una buena excursión, cinco dólares por una silla sin cerveza y langosta seca.

[@fuzzyargy]

wow Ken and Carol, thanks so much for these videos. Places in my life time i more than likely never ever experience personally in my lifetime. I have to ask... has Carol been working out... she is looking fantastic, it has been a while we have seen Carol. Looking vibrant and very healthy and happy. You must be keeping Carol very happy Ken. Thanks again for the videos! Love to you both.

[@cynthiasmith9336]

I think because of my current situation with my mom’s dementia and dad’s Alzheimer’s I focus a lot on Carol in these videos knowing she just lost her mom. I think it’s wonderful she’s getting away with you in a beautiful place and I’m sending you both lots of care.

[@indochinajames3372]

Cool Ken

[@gracesilva6331]

Nice video 📹 👍 be safe

[@Dragoon4002]

Looked awesome buddy, wish I could smoke a cigar with you sometime!!! 💨 💨 💨

[@briejason8558]

Enjoy your trip!!!!! Wendys chicken strips are only $4 with a new spicy spicy ghost pepper ranch !!! 😄😄

[@mikemozart5258]

8:37 was she shirt less in the background

[@girlovertaking]

Thanks for this, Ken! How far is Playa Pilar from Melia? Ie, how long a bus ride?

[@Ken_Domik]

40 minutes approximately

[@karlaruter3221]

You will or have flown over my ⛵

[@JOHNJ0HN9111]

i am sure the soup was just broth of the lobster and you ate the lobster meat!! just my guess

[@patrickcooper9641]

Absolutely correct! Not too many people know the difference between broth and soup until they taste "the real soup"!

[@stcmichigan5434]

Ken don’t mind all your haters I’ve enjoyed watching your videos for seven years love from Detroit

[@joshuapereira3787]

Good morning Beast Ken KZbin Canada Ontario KZbin video 🇨🇦🇨🇦🌿🌿☘️☘️🍀🌱🐈🐈

[@karlaruter3221]

Never

[@jackiecrerar2997]

Bring your own toilet paper?? Did I hear this correctly??

[@Ken_Domik]

Just to the beach washrooms because there are times there isn’t any so we’ve been told

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

Love the cuban people but hate the communist regime, love Pilar Beach ⛱
