Holiday Resorts in Cuba

Newest Review: ... the same amount of time and with the same amount of red tape as at any other international airport. We all piled on to our bus and were greeted by our tour guide, a retired teacher (Tour guiding paid better than teaching). We made the two hour journey to our holiday complex Hotel Tryp on Cayo Coco.
