Cuba Reviews

I took my Mum to Cuba as a 50th birthday present. I decided to take her to the island because I wanted us to have a holiday of a lifetime, I wanted a long haul holiday and although I wanted sunshine I didn't want to sit on a beach for the whole trip. We flew to Cuba for a week at the beginning of May. I booked the holiday through ...  Read the complete review

...continued from Havana Dooyoo... So after the smoke had cleared we got back into the taxi. The driver who spoke only the most basic English was unable to explain to me (who only speaks only very basic Spanish) why exactly our car had just been filled with smoke by the police. Having made the effort, prior to my trip, with the One Day ...  Read the complete review

After reading the six million emails I had waiting I thought I'd get down to telling you all about my lovely trip...

If your idea of a holiday is to sit on a beach for two weeks, drinking lager and eating fish and chips, dong go to Cuba.

I visited Cuba in 1997 and have friends who have been there more recently. Here are my thoughts. If you speak some Spanish it will be useful especially if you move away from the main tourist areas. Petrol was at UK prices and is not readily available. You must know where the next petrol station is before you set off if using a hire car. ...  Read the complete review

You won't want to leave this warm, vibrant and friendly country. I have never had an experience like it. As Cuba stands at present, they are not a particularly rich or prosperous country, (although the Cubans do like to impress upon you that they have very rich "temporary" residents.), you may find that you will need to take a ...  Read the complete review

I have visited Cuba several times and have found that the best way to see the real Cuba is to ignore the attractions and convenience of the "all inclusive" beach holidays at resorts like Varedero and Guardalavaca. Some of the time you must travel around the country by self drive hire car, stay at local Cuban Hotels, visit the ...  Read the complete review

We decided to visit Cuba this year for our honeymoon (wanting to visit a place completely different to places we had been to before). The 9-hour flight was comfortable (the 7-hour delay was not), and it was a joy to be taken to our hotel in an air-conditioned bus. But all the travel was definitely worthwhile. We stayed in an all-inclusive ...  Read the complete review

Visiting Cuba can be frustrating but its well worth the effort. Yes it took two hours to get through passport control on the way in (I understand thast has improved somewhat recently), yes we arrived at a hotel to find no rooms but they sorted it out with a smile, yes every time you sit down for a meal the obligatory trio turns up and serenades ...  Read the complete review

After visiting Cuba for the last two years I have began to get an idea of the best cigars. However firstly I would like to mention how nice an Island cuba is. I have visited many carribean islands and cuba tops them all . Not ruined by the american tourism but the great influx of other tourists such as the canadians are ruining the Island , ...  Read the complete review
