Travel Tips

Havana was obviously a beautiful place.
Now it is very sad architecturally but the people are very friendly and pleasant, although the shops are empty and no USA products or advertising!.
It's slowly being restored with foreign investment but it is a crying shame to see all the buildings literally decaying away as the salt air gets into the concrete. The rebar expands and pops the concrete away leaving only rebar, no concrete!
Go into the Government tobacco factory, no dusky maidens rolling cigars on their thighs but very interesting!

Yes twice,

The cuban people are wonderful, the counrty is wonderful. Havana is a bit run down , but is a heritage site and it will take time to bring back to it's former glory. It is a very safe place. The beaches are stunning the water is a lovely azure blue. Fantistic place. Go and enjoy.

Fab place. Great music scene, nice people. Superb snorkelling. Food not great, but super-duper cocktails. Try mohito - yum yum! Climiate warm and lovely, even when it's raining or blowing a hurricane (as it was when we were there)!
Avoid the big resorts unless you prefer the company of loads of other Brits and Canadians!
Yes, Cayo Coco last April and absolutely love the place, its beautiful, the beaches and ocean are out of this world, the Cubans are wonderful people who will do anything for you to make your holiday even better, if your going you will have a ball as it really is a brilliant place to visit.
Yes - check Peter M's question about Holguin.

If you have any other questions, let me know. I've been all over - literally.
BTW - lulu - Cuba is great because there is no american influence. I would pay extra to keep it that way forever. How can you say the architecture is not beautiful in Havana? Wow - you must be a miserable coot. Stay home - do us all a favour. (sorry to be mean, but I do not agree with you - haha)
