Another amazing video! Spoken like a homie from around the way and not some privileged entitled tourist. The time you took to edit this must have been extensive. Very much appreciated. I’ve been to both. Varadero I find too commercial and very much over populated by visitors but that long beach is perfect for daily walks. And cause it’s less separated from the mainland I have always found less supply issues when it comes to food and pop. Cayo Coco’s beach is so much nicer and the beach is floury soft. But food selection and supply often an issue. Cayo Santa Maria is my fav though and hope you add this part to your next mega comparison. Playa Cayo Santa Maria Resort is my fav of all the Cuban resorts minus the exclusive adult only isolated section of Ibeostar Ensenachos that you walked through. Those accommodations were fabulous. Getting that whole villa with kitchen and hot tub was wow! Even had a private meal cooked by a chef in our villa one night. But getting back to Santa Maria I hope you review Royalton one day. One resort I still need to visit but always so pricey compared to all others.

Have a great day from VanCity!

Love the video Mike! Thanks. We've been to both places as well.

Just one note, Newfoundland is not a part of the Maritimes. They only include 3 provinces.

Please keep up the fantastic work

Great video Mike. As soon as i saw your notification about this video I told my wife let's grab a coffee and look at video. We love Cuba also and most likely will book a Cayo Coco trip next Jan -Feb timeframe. How about Meliá Cayo Coco? Have you visited there before? We have and i was just wondering how everything is currently there. Great video again. Cheers Peter

Great video Mike! I’m happy you touched on the topic of the difference between men vs women solo travelling. There’s definitely some risk factors and experiences with locals. I also agree it depends on the individual and what type of experience they’re seeking while away.

Thanks for the great video Mike!! That's an interesting comparison. There are quite a few differences but I think I like the not so busy Cayo Coco. Take care and safe travels.

I love watching your videos. It's been a huge help in planning my honeymmon to Cuba. Can you please check out Sanctuary at Grand Memories Holguín.

Heading to Grand Aston (Club) soon, for my 21st visit to Cuba. I agree with you; all that I care about are the beach, a clean room, and a comfy bed. I’ve been all over Cuba, and elsewhere, but Cayo Coco is my fav because I can enjoy some solitude if I want to. My favourite resorts are Memories Caribe, Sol Cayo Coco (2 beaches) and Sol Cayo Santa Maria. I detest anything fancy, I’m 63, was widowed 7 years ago, but I feel very safe when I come to Cuba on my own. Anybody who has complaints about Cuba, just doesn’t “get it” and are not my kind of people.

Thanks for the info Mike! Still considering which option would be best for a young couple who's main focus would be outdoor adventures (hiking, caves, snorkeling, mountains, renting scooters, bikes & cars for road trips etc). Not interested in the party scene but also not needing to sit at the beach all day. Cheers ✌️

We preferred cayo co co, or Santa Maria, just because less of a party atmosphere, we are in our early sixties, but all of Cuba is amazing inn, later this year we are taking first times with us, so we have them watching your videos, so they know not just from us but from a top notch reviewer with great videos to help them see what to expect. You have been a great help, thank you

The Russians are cool. Think of it more like a Russian TV series called, Keeping Up With The Gorbachev's. They just drink vodka, never tip, eat hamburgers by the beach, drink more vodka, eat more hamburgers by the beach, drink more vodka so on and so forth. LOL. The one experience that stands out with the Ruskies, was in Santa Lucia. On the fourth day? a plane load of them just checked in. Within hours, the music went from the usual bamamamam kind of stuff, to Russian techno pop. Honestly Mike, I have never talked so much about Wayne Gretzky, or the Russian Summit Series, while seeing the resorts cache of vodka quickly disappear on the horizon? man can those dudes drink and party

Great video. I've been to Varadero, but not Cayo Coco. I've never had a problem in Varadero, but I understand Cayo Coco has lots of mosquitoes and " no se- eems " ?

Great Vid … FYI, 5:18 "Jardines" is pronounced "har-di-nes", its Spanish for "garden".

Thanks Mike! This is exactly the video I was looking for! My husband and I stayed in Varadero lin February and it was a great place to be but you are right, it is very busy. We are focusing on Cayo Coco for next year's vacation. We like the quiet and the beaches. Could you possibly recommend a few of your favourite resorts in Cayo Coco please? Nothing too big, adults only and after dinner entertainment. We don't like the large apartment building type resorts. We have done a lot of research but it would be nice to hear it from you because of your vast experience and you look for the same things in a resort as my husband and I do. Thank you so much Mike!

Hi Mike…another informative video. In my opinion Caribe can't be beat for adults only but I'm a senior with similar views. Thanks for the great comparison, and I look forward to your next video.
Cheers

Hey Mike, great video! Do you have any thoughts on solo supplement fees? I know not all resorts charge them but given that you’ve been to so many resorts I was wondering if you know of any ways to circumvent them or if you just factor them in?
