Cayo Santa Maria, "Melia Las Dunas Resort" + Excursions, CUBA

HOLA!

Everything at this resort was excellent. Been to Cuba three times and, it just keeps getting better. Like anywhere else, there is always some negatives, but not enough to even bother mentioning. There is something for everyone. Lots to do!!

Overall, we had a great time!!! :)


I would recommend this resort. Just one little thing though, bring a good pair of walking shoes, because there is LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of walking, however, if you look on the bright side, it's a good way to digest your food and, to keep fit. ;)

I went to Melia Las Duna in 09,looks as if I did the same trip to Santa Clara. You must have been pretty sneaky; I was asked to put my camera away in both the cigar factory and the Che monument. Guards were blowing whistles at me. My fault though; they told me that we weren't allowed to take pictures. Anyways. I was wondering what the name of the song that you have at 5:50 is. The band that played at the center court of the resort almost every night played this song. They were great! Cheers!

In other words at that time I was allowed to use my video and digital camera. The only place that I was not allowed to use my camera was at the Museum of Che Guevara. I guess that things have changed since then. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to take these pictures and add them to my video, especially now that you told me that photo's and video's are no longer permitted.

@gulllaker My goal in the video was not only to show that Cuba is a great hotspot, I also wanted to share with others some of the Cuban history. I hope that I suceeded!! :-)

Cheerio!

P.S. Sorry that it took some time for me to answer your question, I happened to be gone on holidays.

All the pictures of the resort, beach and the catamaran excursion was taken in the year of 2008. However, the pictures that you see regarding the cigar factory in Camajuani, the Museum of Che Guevara "Museo Historico de la Revolucion",and the Monument of Che at the "Plaza de la revolucion Ernesto Che Guevara" were taken a few years prior to the trip I had taken in 2008.

Hi!!

The name of the second song in my video at "5:50" is "GUANTANAMERA" performed by "Gullermo Portabales" it is perhaps the best known Cuban folklore song and, it is also the country's most noted patriotic song. There are other versions of this song performed by many other music artists.

Thanks for watching my video!!
