Every time I go I bring a ton of gifts and I tip very generously. People a very grateful and nice in Cuba .

@@kandoo1316 they are, I also bring lots of gifts for my family and friends, they really appreciate them.

I went to the Blau 14 months after it opened and have been back there many times . Great staff there . May have met your sister . Small world .

@@robertrosicki9290 wow what a small world! You have probably met my sister, she works in the buffet. Greetings from Ottawa.

@@yaimi8523 Two of the staff I know from the buffet are Ernesto and Robiel . 100% I've met your sister over the years . Greetings from northeastern Ontario. Six hours north of Ottawa .

Glad you liked it!

Good tip absolutely! Thanks for watching!

@ulvnme How was it?

I need another vacation lol

Many many thanks

I heard there is now. When I was there, there was none around.

No problem 👍

Wow 😮185 -1. It was about 100 when I was last there in 2019.

fly to mexico and go from there and back to there, the tourist agencie s will sell you th e tourist entry card for cuba for 15 usd not the 100 usd abuse they charge if you leave from the usa,buy a packge tour and stay in a hotel, the cases particulares, peoples houses you stay in,are very loud from the neighbours, dogs barking, music playing and very overpriced. via mexico is the way to go, r

I've been to varadero many times never encountered mosquitos ...with that heat I'm not sure where they would come. But maybe in a greeny walk through trees or elsewhere. But yeah

Thanks For Watching!

It All depends on your spending habits. Definitely not an All inclusive resort but if you are budgeting yourself you should be fine with that.

Everyone there uses the peso now. If you bring US cash they will charge you a percentage I cant remember how much.

usd is now accepted, they no longer charge the percentage , that is done with, the best rate is with locals, you can also bring one dollar bills and 5 s usd and get your change in pesos at the black market rate. do not bother to bring canadian, tooo much hassle.

I'm Canadian and have been to Cuba many times. My credit cards from Canadian banks were accepted for car rentals etc. . The cards I have from American financial institutions ( Capitol One , MBNA ) were not accepted ever . Hope his answers your question .

thank you.

They have prepaid cuban cards that you put your home currency on for excursions, buying anything in shops. For food and drink off toyr resort usd is best. Covert to usd at bank before you travel with change for trips and cabbing, eating off your resort etc. Leave cards for excursions as they no longer take cash and thet are priced in usd. Some hotels have a credit place to get the prepaid cards. The hotel roc beside muthu playa resort in veradero is where i did it last year, going agsin this year. Safe and haooy travels

Thanks for the info. Thanks For Watching!

They deposit the Canadian , American or Euro money into a MLC card that are use a certain stores in Cuba . They cannot deposit cup in they card .

Well as long as you can get to cuba u will be fine. Americans can't really visit there.

You need to pull up a list of restricted entities that is prohibited to stay in for US citizens [Google it] If you are flying from US you going to need a visa for 100$ you can obtain it at the airport I got mine at Miami International Airport and an electronic application for travelers to Cuba called Dviajeros it's free you can fill it out online before the flight or it's also available at the airport there is a stand where you scan a QR code fill out the application and just get a screen shot of the completed application and save it have it ready to present to airport authorities. It's pretty simple. If you get asked by any US authorities why did you go to Cuba the answer is TO SUPPORT PEOPLE OF CUBA it's very important! Of course, you need to get a passport if you have one check if it's valid, not expired. Safe travels 🤙🏽 We are staying at Melia International Varadero it's absolutely gorgeous. One of the best all-inclusive resorts in Cuba

@@OrchidLove Thank you for taking the time to write and inform me. Have a great day.

​@@OrchidLove Could you give me a few ideas on what the entertainment is like? Did they have a white party?

@Orchidilia That's kind of you to respond in such great detail. Thank you, it's very appreciated! Blau looks like a great resort.

I do agree with you on the ketchup. I've been using it my entire life. I've just recently settled down a bit and also using sugar free ketchup.

You get free bottles in your rooms daily. If you need more then you can buy them cheap in the gift shop or ask front desk for more. I find if you tip your maid well they will make sure you get lots of water extra ontop of what you get standard in your room per person. I always make sure to do this and leave all unused water in the room. As for food, yes they can have food and drink shortages, it par for the course going to cuba. You can bring small snacks in your luggage if needed like granola bar/protein bars if you dont like some of the offerings at your hotel.

As far as I know I don't think you can rent online unless you are purchasing from a travel site then it's possible

You don't know very much about Cuba. Americans are welcome to visit Cuba and stay wherever they want, in any hotel, etc they want. You have been brainwashed by all of the propaganda.

Its don't allow. Drone may taken away at the customs.

That was hotel Blau, adults only resort.

Great Tip! LOL Thanks For Watching!

Seriously ? You are a clown

Good
