Memories Flamenco Diamond Club | Resort Tour | Cayo Coco Cuba  

Thanks for the video Mike . Great as always!

Great video Mike, thanks for the info

Thank you for doing these videos, they are helping a lot !!

We really enjoy your views on cuba . We have been down about 10 times and have always enjoyed our selfs. Go with the flow 😊

Awesome Video!

Love it!! Great job!!

Great review I was there in early September and we enjoyed ourselves aside from the limited food selections and mosquitos. Like you said beach, pool, night shows, drink selection and even snack bar was good for late night snacks

Look’s relaxing

Great content! Love your videos. We had a bad experience last spring in the Guardalavaca area, we booked an overpriced hotel thinking we would not be disappointed, for the most part a great holiday but way too many shortages. We have been travelling to Cuba for 20 years so we understand the limitations and hardship that the island faces day to day, but the people are so resilient and I I don’t know how they deal with the situation. We thought we would never return to Cuba but your experiences and attitude made us step back and reassess our expectations when we travel to Cuba. We are definitely planning on returning thanks to you!

Great videos keep them coming

Thankyou for another great video, nice job. I love your attitude and now I just want to visit all of the resorts in Cuba, they all look good. Keep up the good work, safe travels and looking forward to the next.

Thanks for the video, very informative.

Exactly what I was waiting for: Diamond Club, Flamenco resort. Looking forward to checking it out. Thanks for producing this great video 🎉🇨🇺☕️👍

Glad to hear it was a good time. Also glad to hear the kid is ok! Doesn't look like a bad place. I do like th pools

Another great video Mike. We’ve been to this hotel 10 times so far, and may take another trip back in the spring. I love your views and your attitude towards Cuba and the wonderful people that live there 😊❤️

I love your attitude because it’s a philosophy that’s aplicable on other situations of life. Sometimes we let minor inconveniences ruin our day, ignoring that we’re privileged and blessed by god to have a roof, a job, a family , food. Cheers from Mexico

We liked that resort. We went with friends and all the kids loved the beach. The water is amazing there

Thanks Mike,love your videos I am also a Cuba regular and your videos really helped.

Really enjoy your videos, very informative and you tell it as it is. My wife and i are looking at this resort come the end of April. We have been to Cuba several times Varadero, Cayo Santa Maria and Holguin so we know what to expect. We thought we would try this area of Cuba, we love the beach the Cuban people.

This is awesome, we were just there and it's like reliving it again!! You are so fun to watch and detailed in everything. I agree as my first time to Cuba, you can't expect VIP experience, but it's worth the money. The beach is beautiful! Was there the same week and think I saw you, so add me to your subscriber list haha

I will go this resort soon , thank u for the video 🎉

Great video as always ! I am spending the week in Varadero at the Iberostar Bella Vista and it has been nothing short of amazing so far. The weather is perfect, my star prestige suite is the best room I ever had in Cuba and my ocean view room is spectacular. Also the food at the star prestige restaurant is very good and tasty with lots of choices. I am very impressed by this hotel and excellent service I will be coming back for sure. Don’t hesitate to try it ! ❤️🏖️✈️☀️

Take me back ! Miss it already haha thanks again Mike:)

Great video, we didn't have hot water for 3 days last year, didn't bother me, but mi esposa that's another story. You should always bring your Bubba cup for drinks 🙈

Nice Mike! Always a good watch! Looking forward to heading back to Cuba soon

Thanks for your review. We are going Jan 29.. looking forward to it!!

I’ve only been to Cuba once - it was last March. We stayed at The Pullman and loved it! I appreciate the videos you and your wife post - Extremely helpful

Thanks to your reviews, we just came back from a trip at the memories Flamenco. We had a wonderful time down there. Alot of your advice helped us prepare and enjoy the trip. Loved the Cuban Capuccino, the beach is amazing, i loved any meat on the grill...so i didnt have any problems with eating at the buffet. We got reservations at the Asian, Creole and Italian restaurants. The pools and salsa dancing plus nightime theatre performances gave us options. The bug spray advice was priceless. It was our first time to Cuba and we thoroughly enjoyed it👏👏👏.

Thank you Mike for another honest great review. We are returning (10th stay / visit), this time with the full family (including our young Grand children) in November, so I hope they have the water issues logistics all fixed up. Keep your great resort tours review going. If you ever go to Cayo Largo we would like a review of the Starfish (formerly Pelicano). Thanks Again

Awesome video, thanks! Nice place, but I still prefer Memories Caribe :-).

Hey Mike definitely powdered eggs we had them at Caribe 1st week of September they are using them supplies are low. You can still get real eggs at diamond club

you make great videos sir just wanted to tell you this for awhile now,great camera shots and background music very professional ,i love cuba started going to cayo coco 3 years ago at playa pilar resort and absolutely love it there but we do pay about 1000 dollars a week from Halifax in end of march for 2 weeks.hope we can meet someday and share some cocktails' and good stories .marc and wendy shediac nb

First off was awesome meeting you! Secondly had I known you could of used some electrolytes. I had the best thing around... coco hydrate! It helped me as I suffered from too much sun as well.... if you're interested in trying it out, let me know! I'm partnered with purium. Anyways, great video, and I 100% agree with everything. We didn't even notice the 1 day without water as we were at the beach. Miss the beach already!

I was there when you were there. Has no hot water - we took a shower outside and we made the best out of it. We will definitely be back at flamenco!

I was there in June amazing time !

Hi Mike...those were likely powdered eggs you had for breakfast. We were at memories carib same time as you. We had no real eggs after day 5 and they looked familiar😊

Good day. I think a week for that price is great. I know the limitations and accept. Someone with high expectations needs to rethink their plan or readjust. I even have a hard time to eat in Punta Cana these days so I eat 2 times a day. Power and water running out is not fun. The ice machine needs to run for mixed drinks. The pools look good and ocean.

We really enjoy the content on your channel and have been watching for some time. We just got set up to subscribe today. My wife and I are excited to return to our favorite getaway and will hit our third Memories together in a short two weeks. Never been to the Flamenco but Memories has never disappointed, nor does the odd power outage or cold water. Its part of the adventure. We were wondering if you and Jenny had any advice on getting Diamond Upgrades at the resort (value) vs having it in your package up front. We have seen the Diamond offerings and would value any feedback on that. Take care and keep posting these great and informative videos.

we are booked for destination wedding here in April 2024 and have all upgraded to diamond club. We are curious as to the dates you were here for this video. Keep 'em coming, we love your videos. Thanks so much.

Great video..Mike and can you pls show everyone so how you got $705 ..7days stay..how far out to book it..which site to get the good deal…Every time we Check it was double the price.We love down south….Cuba and Dominican Republic👍👍👍👍thanks from Toronto

I've been to Playa Coco and it was great, Pullman was amazinnnng, now Memories Flemenco we didn't have the greatest experience yet will be going again next week because it's dirt cheap. I'm hearing a lot of bad recent reviews and it seems to have gotten worse from when I went but will make the best of it. This is my 4th trip this year to Cayo Coco. 🇨🇺

Thank you for your informative videos Mike! This hotel looks great! Just wondering what your experience has been with the mosquitoes there. I went to Varadero in April and I had never gotten bitten so badly in my life even though I used bug spray ☹️

Love your videos! Keep them coming. I’m dying to know. What do you do for a living? Spare time and income. I’m jealous.

That Cat at the start of the clip was so friendly and chatty! I let him into my room for just a minute, then decided to name him "Hairy Styles" 0:14 . I loved seeing all the cats at this resort. (and it appeared that many of the males had been "fixed")

Great content, we appreciate all your videos! From your experience, how's the weather in Mid December? Subbed!

Hey Mike, thank you again for the amazing video. Do you know if this resort has issues with the bed bugs? Also, can dimond Club be purchased once we get there? Going in two weeks with 2 small children

Do i need a special adapter to charge my phone or will it work at the plugs bere ?

Hi Mike luv your videos. wanted your take if its ok to go to Cuba mid July thanks

Hi yes you missed me! Robert and Charissa Watts from Lindsay Ont!

thanks for sharing Do you think this would be a good trip for solo women travelers?

Very excited to be headed there in a week, any chance youll be there ?! 😅

Have you been at grand memories in Varadero, what’s better?

Hey Mike. Ho w do find such deals? I booked memories carribe, regualar for 100$ more. I was so inspired by the beaches you showed, i didn't care about the hotel.

Went to sol cayo coco 12 years ago with thomas cook no one flies thete anymore from uk wanting to go next year

Can you recall if there is a volleyball net on the beach at Flamenco?

Hi Mike, just wondering where you're able to get such a great deal? What's your secret? I would be flying out of Toronto as well. Thanks

Great video!!! Question! Was there wifi available for free?

No idea when you were last at this resort. We just got back from there. Diamond club as recommended. This place was a dive. No phone no hot water no toilet paper no cola. Slept in the same sheets all week. Ran out of towels. No mini bar stocked with at the least water. Never be back and done watching your reviews

We will be going in December just wondering what kind of cash to bring and roughly how much?

another good video..i thought u needed health insurance to travel to cuba??? or do they not except payment from an insurance policy ??/

Hey man, I’m going to this resort very soon and I’m a huge fan of beach volleyball, do they have a net at the beach?

I highly recommend that you eventually enhance your Cuba travel to authentic towns, cities or villages; Santa Clara, Cienfuegos, Trinidad for example. Or split your stay between both a resort and a town or city. Living the Cuban life, authentically and understanding the struggles and the complexities of being a Cuban without the frills of a resort helps one to understand the shortages and why things fluctuate so much. Prior to the pandemic, I was living in Cuba half the year, building a business and working with writers and authors. it really changes how you live your life forever. Your values change. I did the resort thing for 15 years and have stayed at high-end and low end, and have been to every resort zone in the country. They truly are all very similar with anemities, routines, accommodations. They’re nice for a few days to wash away the city dust but a resort stay can never replace spending real time with real people in real Cuba. Thanks for your reviews and I hope to visit one of your resorts soon.

If we are diamond club in the Flamenco, can we also go to the diamond club beachside grill in the Caribe?

Do you go to Cuba thru vacation packages? Is $705 price included flight and resort together?

Donyou mind sharing your problem with memories flamenco beach the past 2023 year?? I’d like to bring my toddlers in a couple weeks , was it the “no see ums “?

I'm retired on a small pension and did not think I could afford a vacation, but for $700 you seemed to have decent weather, beautiful beaches, and decent food. Did you have to pay extra for the room safe?

No water, how do they do dishes and wash hands preparing food. Maybe that’s the cause of the sickness. I have been to Cuba 13 times but do worry about flies and lack of washing.❤

Hey quick question! We booked the diamond club suite - with the king and the little living room. How did you qualify as a diamond club member? was it the room you booked? This looks like a steal for the price! I was told not to book on the higher floors, where the water pressure is worse so i anticipate that isnt great

Hi Mike - question have you or your wife ever used the spa at Memories Flamenco? Or do you know if it is a real spa or just massages by the ocean? Thanks

Hi is this resort suitable for a single senior lady. I just want sun and sand. How much walking is there to get to room, lobby, or beach. Would I be better to get diamond club

Hi Mr Fish, thanks for all videos, you literally show all important aspects about hotels; we want to go to memories Flamenco or memories caribe in cayo coco but I`d like to know if there are bed Bugs on rooms and doctor available on the hotels (these two I mean ), strongly appreciated if you get back to me soon (we want to book) (wife, my 16 years old boy and I), thanks

are the drinks for free too?

Have you ever gotten good poisoning/parasites here? Last time I went, my last 3 days were pretty rough because of this. The nurse gave us some pretty strong antibiotics and electrolytes and they helped, but had to go get more when back in Canada.

1 quick question ...how would you rate the food in Cuba so Far ? On a scale of 1 to 10 !..

Hola finding fish nos conocimos en cayo coco hotel Memori caribe soy el taxita del Chevy negro

So was the plumbing issues addressed?

i am going to memories caribe soon and i was wondering if you could tell me the goods and the bads from that place its my first time leaving my country and im not the type to be ungrateful for what those people will do for me there but out of curiosity i would love to hear about it! ive seen your vids from that place but i dont think ive heared you say anything bad from it

Beach is the only part that's beautiful. Went last year and there was water shortages and food was not good

Biggest match until they ring the bell and The Rock is sweating buckets 5 minutes. The entrances will be dope but the match ain’t gonna be special. Lots of chin holds. If they were smart they should promote a whole new PLE with The Rock vs Roman Reigns and leave the Cody vs Roman match at WM alone. You get two big matches out of it. WM is already sold out it doesn’t need The Rock

Been here prepandemic . The only good thing about this resort was the beach.
