I've been to Cuba twice for a total of a month and really enjoyed it each time. Havana and Santiago are two of the safest cities in the world. It was the first time in my life I saw women strolling the streets at night often times by themselves with no fear. The Cuban people are absolutely wonderful.

@they Elli hi Elli...planning on going to Santiago for the carnival this year. Do you know of anyone that would be willing to be a paid guide while we're there?
The interview section with the locals is outstanding. It adds a special touch to your videos. Cheers.

The guy's English on the beach was impeccable explaining the beach and food. Nice people.
Wow I have taken this same bus. I was in Havana Cuba for 30 days in 2017. You can also take a public bus and when I was there it cost about 2 cents US. The Cuban people are awesome 👌 👏.

@@milsedd yes absolutely because you got to live like an ordinary Cuban and believe it or not waiting for and using public transportation you got to actually meet and interact with every day Cubans 😄. All the time that I was in Cuba I never felt like a tourist. I was interested in the Cuban culture and the Cuban people. This is my opinion but if you just want to be a tourist and spend a few days or a week that is fine also but my plan was to return to Cuba and enroll in a Havana University but the coronavirus pandemic hit and I have not been able to return.
I have been at the beach many time and I have stayed at the Hotel Marazul like 25 times before Covid . Thanks for the memories. Cheers from Canada.
The coconut cocktail is called Saoco, very good and refreshing.
Habana cuba is very nice city 🇺🇸❤🇨🇺
Thanks for fully immersing us into the Cuban culture, Sly. I think it's about time that I boost up my Spanish vocabulary one notch at least. 😊👍🏾🇨🇺

That guy spoke English very fluently 😮😮😮
Look how clear the water looks, no contamination, no gentrification..
I knew it! I knew you were doing Cuba next!
I have no clue how Cuba is today but back in the 90's, We look forward to visiting it every yr or every other yr due to the fact it blew our minds with how SAFE it was day or Nite.
I think that the best looking beach I've seen in all your videos.
Nice interviews with the local people. Grateful
The proud Cuban people. I wish you all my best.
love your channel man, hopefully it gets more recognition in the futurE

Varadero is not in Cayo Coco. They are two different turist areas and are about 400 Kms apart. Both are very nice. Varadero is in the province of Matanzas and Cayo Coco is in the province of Ciego de Avila. Nice video though.
That's I good one bro, I need to start using my Flight bene8
Yooooo i appreciate these video’s. My good friends i grew up with came over on the “Mariel” in 81. Political prisoners who taught us so much about Cuban culture. Anyway big ups bro keep the videos comin!
Santa maria,El Megano,guanabo beaches ⛱️ are not the same no more like back in the 1990s they used to be more clean and more fun!I was a kid back in the days and I remember being there with thousands and thousands of people! I left cuba 1994 never went back cause political problems with those running the show over there! But thank you and blessings to you!
Eh Sly! kudos to you for doing videos in English. You may not be aware but videos about Cuba in English are very rare. People dont realize Cuba is the safest and most educated of all 3rd world countries. People music, arts, culture is two thumbs up! Cuba needs more videos in English the international language of business. My next trip to cuba I will be doing the first vidoes in English of Santiago Baracoa etc.
Love it😃 The people, the sights, the interview, etc………
always went with a private taxi a little bit further on; the gay playa santa maria! less touristic yet great!

The most beautiful beach in Cuba is Varadero peninsula. You can take the bus there, but recommend to stay at least the whole weekend. The water is turquoise, very clear, just like this beach

You haven't been to Guardalavaca in Holguin? Very similar to Varadero. In fact most of the beaches in the north coast are quite pretty.
Interesting clip enjoyed. Nice to get local input.
How much for the chairs/umbrellas?? I used to go there as a kid.
I went there on Saturday July 16 but it was crazy busy, there was no room even for a needle, I would love to find the lady for the massages but next time for sure, the food at the restaurants is very cheap for the tourists, lobster and fish at the same dish with a drink for about 10 USD...
Thank you Sly for a great video!
Awesome! I got to get back.
Great weather, to experience a lovely walk on this beautiful beach ⛱, nice location 👌
loved how you mingled with the local folk

@Sly, It's been years since I returned to Cuba and this video has me motivated. Just wondering: aside from the bus ride, what are the costs, if any, for things like the lounge chair you sat on, the Saoco (coconut drink)? Is that a public beach - do they charge for entry? What about bathroom facilities? Last time I was there, there was no public restrooms at playa del este.

Clean beaches and organic food that is Cuba
I said in the hotel (hotel tropicoco) front of that beach when i visited Cuba. The waves 🌊 are heavy out there, it only looks calm😂
6:03 this drink is called Saoco.
As a brother, how receptive would they be to us in Cuba? Its on my list of places to visit.
in costa rica congri is called gallo pinto or rice and beans
what kind camera do u used to shoot nice video like that?
I remember Santa Maria is very similar to Varadero Beach. Of course Santa Maria is only a showcase of Varadero. Guanabo beach is the one you mentioned further East. When I went there was building just like a Gym with lockers and you will pay for one to store your clothes. There were showers also. I do not know if that public beach still exist. There is also several other beaches in that area. Bacuranao is very deep and the water looks green. It is before Santa Maria. Due East is Matanzas, I like a secluded beach there when you exit Matanzas going to Varadero Beach. The beach is called “güeyvaquita” it is small beach secluded between high rocks. If you have been to Encinitas in San Diego, it looks like that. I do not know if I spelled it right “Gueyvaquita” Varadero is the ultimate experience ! How long did you stay in Cuba?
Man, I want to life your life! Good work, Sly!
Cuban streets look clean .
I can not believe he did not offer you some croquetas so you could taste them !!! :):):):):) Cubans are F nice and friendly .
Yo one of those dudes looked like Tupac !😂😂😂
cerveza is the best in the beach.
What was the difference you imaging? You didn’t explained yourself ..
i did the same trip back in 99... i took the local bus though
