Tell me of your experiences in Cuba, Varadero in particular?

Question

but also Havana...

What was the best thing you did, what was the worst thing? What would you recommend doing or not doing? What did you think of the people? How much money did you spend? What month did you go? Thanks!

Answer 1

I would never travel to cuba. With your money you support that communist system.

I know, cuba is cheap-but every visit holds that bandits longer in the government.

Answer 2

The best thing you can do is take a trip into Havana it is incredible. Your destination rep will be offering day trips or even an overnight  when you can see the show at the Tropicana.  There is nothing bad about going to Cuba.  People who say we are backing a Comunist regime are all wet.  When we go to Cuba we are creating employment for thousands,.  Cubans are wonderful , they welcome us with open arms.  Allow yourself about 75.00-80.00 per tour  such as swimming with the dolphins, safari tours ands o on. Tipping is very important, a  convertible peso CUC  is a standard tip for servers in the restaurants and bars at your resort.  Be sure to load up on small items at your dollar store to give as gifts, plus used but not abused t-shirts, shorts, running shoes and that type of thing.  Check the links below for lots of info.  if you look at trip advisor you will find your resort  and  find  reviews by others who stayed at your resort and their suggestions. Go and enjoy, chances are you will be back.  I've been therer nine times, December, March, September and July.
