I just got back from my first fantastic one week get-a-way to Memories Flamenco Cuba. The trip beat all my low expectations and I will definitely be returning to Cayo Coco in the near future. It was really cool to meet so many new friends there too, including the man, the myth, the ledged himself, Mike Fisher. Watching his videos really did help me to prepare and what to expect when in Cuba. I even mentioned to him that he did a great job at not sugar coating anything in his videos. Cuba does seem to be having some supply issues currently, but that didn't stop me from packing some things I wanted like some gatorade that doubled as a refillable containers and I made sure to bring ketchup among much more (all liquids in sealable plastic bags as a tip from the videos). Thanks for making these videos Finding Fish family. They really helped my first resort vacation to Cuba, to be a great one!!

And I must say, out of the many resorts we have been to, the Paradisus Los Cayos . in Cayo Santa maria If you are going that way try it the royal section.Maybe my wife and I will bump into the both of you .

This is actually where I stayed last time I was in Cuba (2015 😯) I recognize everything! The jellyfish were bad when I went and I got stung a few times but it was like a mosquito bite for a couple minutes and then gone. I remember the buffet, we always had the same server and we tipped good. They always brought a bottle of champagne and put it in our beach bag so we could take it for the day and then the last 2 days they brought out plates of lobster like BIG plates of lobster

Try to go to Paradisus los cayos in cayó Santa Maria and hotel Kepimski in cayó Guillermo. This one is not all inclusive ..all is separate but is well worth it.

Take all kind of medicines, mosquito repellent, sun cream and a flash light. I be in paradisus end of July. Trip advisor shows you the best pictures for any hotel in cuba before you go. I always go there to see the hotels before I go.

We've been to both Valentin Perla Blanca and Sanctuary Cayo Santa Maria. Love both the beaches but Valentine wasn't ready for us when we went there. It was a soft opening and they defo weren't ready. It is a beautiful resort though and we will need to return to change our opinion. You can't get the beauty of these beaches anywhere in the world for the price we pay for Cuba. That's why we keep going back. We're headed back to Cuba in November, Mexican cruise in Feb and Antigua in June. We're going to the yacht club in Antigua based on your video review. 🙂 Hoping to fit in a couple more trips but life / work keeps getting in the way. Can you recommend anywhere else within a 5 hour flight of Toronto?

Hi Mike, we’re planning of going to CSM for the end of April or beginning of May with 2 other couples. We’re debating between the Paradisus Los Cayos (newer 4.5 stars resort) vs Royalton CSM (adults only with butler 5 stars hotel). Interesting thing I learned is Guests staying at Royalton can have full access to all services and facilities at Memories and Sanctuary. My questions for you is: which resort will be better between Paradisus and Royalton considering our priorities in order of importance : beach, food, drinks, room and entertainment quality?

Well I went and am home now and here's my take.... Absolutely beautiful beach, best beach I've ever been on, but thats pretty much were it ends for me.....
