Wow! Incredible food. Hard to believe Cuba has a food shortage. I really hope the staff are able to eat there and bring food home to their families. Thanks for this great video.😊

Some Resorts have more food offerings than others!!! Depending on Management and location

Friend, I tell you that we were also in this hotel but in the privileges area, and it was fantastic and the beach was not to be talked about.

[@Finding-Fish]

The beach there is amazing

[@michaelmccrea5031]

Going at the end of the month, 1st time to Santa Maria. Cayo largo has been my favorite. Hopefully, it will be comparable.

[@Finding-Fish]

Yup!!! With a good mind set it will be!!! Your going for the beach and a good time

[@jonplaku8101]

Just came back from sanctuary, such an amazing resort, not because of the beach and pools and bars but because of the people working there, I’m trying to make sure I go back 3-4 times a year now. I’m totally in love with Cuba.

Hi Mike, Which top 3 resorts do you recommend in Cayo Santa Maria in terms of beach and food? Of course family budget...😊planning for Dec 2023. Much love and respect. ❤🙏

Great video. Sometimes I sleep in. Any chance of getting breakfast after 10 am?

[@Finding-Fish]

Maybe Lol Maybe not

[@stephg8984]

I'm here now. No there isn't. And the 24 hour snacks do not currently exist. Bring your own snacks, you'll need it

[@zochbuppet448]

Definately not at the Buffet part. After 10 its closed until it reopens for lunch. at 1pm think. They work 12 shifts at the food /Buffet sections, so it wouldn't be fair to the employees.

[@karelstanec878]

WAU👋I hope we will meet there next year☀🍻

[@Finding-Fish]

Love Santa Maria

[@Monstrinho35]

Fantastic videos you make. Thank you. What place you would recommend for a family with 2 kids with beautiful beach and plenty sunshade?

[@Finding-Fish]

If you’ve not been before, Memories Flamenco!!!! Amazing Beach Good pools Easy to get around Close to the airport!!!! Cuba is experiencing shortages!!! And issues!!! Flamenco is a good choice!!!it needs a few repairs but if you can get it for a great deal!!! I think it’s good value for money!!! Also Grand Muthu!!!! Longer drive but good solid resort

[@Monstrinho35]

@@Finding-Fish never been to Cuba. Iniatially i was thinking about Varadero but there will be charters from Portugal in 2024 for the Cayos. Thank you so much for your help :D

[@Jeffbajan]

Is this a adults only resort

[@Finding-Fish]

Yes All Sanctuary are adults only

[@darrylwebb388]

I think I’m biased when it comes to the beach, still like Memories Flamenco beach better :)

[@eileenrow4982]

Could you tell me when you were there doing this video? The buffet looks good so I'm wondering if you were there recently. Thanks... love your videos

[@Finding-Fish]

it was in October 2023!!Eileen

[@gordonsanders1486]

Great video as usual!! I see there is ice in most of the drinks and wondered if in a resort the ice is ok to have with the drinks? Thanks very much!!

[@Rides_With_Ron]

The wife and I went there last February and enjoyed it immensely. We’re looking to going to memories caribe in Cayo Coco. Any thoughts? It looked like you enjoyed it

[@Finding-Fish]

I loved Caribe, Cayo Coco is always having issues with flys as you know, sometimes good sometimes bad!!! Great beach!!! I like the Resort!!

[@natc2725]

The question is... is this a better pick than Melia Las dunas?

[@psyko_chewbacca]

Hi, we are planing on staying at the very same resort in January 2024. When was your last stay? Thank you.

[@Finding-Fish]

Late September!!!! Beautiful Beach

[@mambicubano7303]

My wife and I like Spanish coffee, which when done well is a requirement.

[@Finding-Fish]

Absolutely When done right It’s absolutely amazing

[@puppetken]

Can I book a at this resort without an all inclusive airflight? Also what dates were you actually here at this resort? I'm planning to come but a bit nervous as the electrical power has been limited and I might stay in a Casa so the resort will be my alternative.

[@Finding-Fish]

We never had issues in Santa Maria Cayo Coco has issues I was there in September middle

[@puppetken]

@@Finding-Fish Thank you, for replying. Can you tell me is it possible to book online for a reservation for the resort if my flight is not all inclusive?

[@7734Kromm]

Mike, I’m curious what career allows you so much travel? (Memories Flamenco was my last stay a few years ago)

[@jenniferfisher4912]

Retirement 💕

Any plans to visit Cayo Cruz? Would love to see a review.

[@mmarus]

Watching your videos to get me hyped for our 2nd time at Sactuary..... Almost booked Royalton for round two... Last year had different comments from the people there visiting Sanctuary, would be interested in your thoughts in comparing the two... if it is worth the price difference.

[@Finding-Fish]

For the Price!!!! My room was ok, The food is typically Cuba!!!! Nothing special But the Beach was fantastic!!!!! If you got a good deal enjoy!!!! The beach is the best part!!!!!

I'm at Sanctuary Grand Memories right now and I'm finding the food to be so absolutely terrible that I've only really eaten fruit - the A La Carte was TERRIBLE. How are you actually enjoying this food? I watched EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the A La Carte restaurant push away their food yesterday.

[@Finding-Fish]

IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME TO CUBA!!!!! EVERYONE PUSHING THERE PLATES AWAY!!!! Really!!!!! Really!!!!! How much did you pay? And have you ever watched any of my videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

[@zochbuppet448]

@stephg8984 You sound like those spoiled Canadians /Americans! Didn't you read up on anything before going or even watching a video? 1. Latin American food tends to be more on the bland side to begin with 2. Hotel food is generally bland. 3. Also no one really goes to budget resorts for the food. 4. Food in Cuba would be similar quality to what you would get in Mexico or Dom Republic. Yes the A La Carte food isnt really that great. Cuba is currently having a lot of problems and shortages due to an embargo by the American government. They cannot easily import anything they want. That said I went last year November after covid and after a hurricane and there were a lot of issues. Yet the food was still decent, and tasted a lot better than what most people said. Some of basic stuff was sometimes missing. There was absolutely no cereal...Who needs cereal when you can get fresh made omelets, home made bread, and pancakes?. Did you realize that the bread is a home made type brad and not Industrial bread that we have here in Canada or U.S? You mean with all that food you cant find anything you like? How much did you pay for your trip?

[@stephg8984]

@@Finding-Fish *their plates. And yes, every single person. It was a full conversation at the pool the next day.

[@stephg8984]

@@zochbuppet448 I did. I expected bad food, I truly did. Not inedible. I haven't found half of what he's showing, not a hard booked egg in site. There are SIX servers for the resort right now. Half the things are closed. These are things Finding Fish doesn't mention. No mention of the entertainment being closed. And yesterday - we had no running water for 7 hours. I don't think expecting running water in your room to be "spoiled". When we did get water back, we had a sewage backup and a flood in the bungalow. If you think it's "spoiled" to not want to wake up with other people's shit in your toilet, I guess we expect different things from vacation 😂🤣

@@Finding-Fish and I paid $1300. How much do they pay you to do these videos?

[@christopherp.hitchens3902]

Odd travel vlog. I don’t quite understand the “Resort” concept. There doesn’t seem to be much Cuban culture or history there…and since there doesn’t seem to be much to do except eat…that is exactly all you do. Look, I already know how to eat and what I see you eat…I can’t taste so, what’s the point of showing heaps of buffet food? You’re a travel vlog? Why don’t you MOVE AND DO SOMETHING?

We show our viewers what they want to see and what they ask about - 🍔

@@jenniferfisher4912 - Um…your viewers ASK to watch you EAT? Really? Why do I get the feeling you don’t really know anything about travel? My goodness, what if they asked you to show paint drying? Trust me, it would be just as interesting as what you showed in this video!

@@Finding-Fish - I am going to Cuba (as are others) and looking for information, money exchange, safety issues, transportation and how far is this place from Havana or Santiago. Although this would entail homework on your part…it might serve your viewership more, no? In a sense, no one can improve your channel if all you accept is praise.

[@frankanthony5430]

Every time I ask somebody if they had a good time in Cuba, they say no because of the food and the service on the food and drinks? Every time I've gotten the Cuba, I've had loads of food and loads of drink. Mind you, I'm not a big drinker but I am a entrepreneur of food, so I really don't understand these people that are coming back to Canada saying that there's no food in the house.
