Vinales, Western Cuba, Cuba
We stayed 2 nights in the house of a woman called Gloria.The bed was horrible, the food was worse, ... but the people don't have much so it was not realy a problem. Some nice memories from this staying. We were sitting on the porch and the lady of the house wanted to protect us against insects so she lit about 10 special candles which produced so much smoke (which smelled like hell) we could not see eachother anymore.An other one is that every mojito we drank was filled with ants (because the sugar bowl was full of them). They straws we used where dirty inside because she cleaned them after use and re-used them.We went horseback riding and asked for the best horses. Instead we got 4 very old horses, one of them died during our 1 hour ride through the mountains.Vinales is nice dough an defenetly a place in Cuba you must visit.Enjoy!
Cayos Santa Maria, Central Cuba, Cuba
Do tamo možete samo sa rent-a carom ili sa službenim taxijem.Nema lokalaca osim onih koji rade u resortu...idealno mjesto za opuštanje bez da cujete :hellou maj frend i pokušaja da vam se proda sve što se može prodati.Nemojte da vas uhvati noć jer iz pijeska pocnu izlaziti neke musice koje vam izgrizu cijelo tijelo i vjerujte da ulazak u more ne pomaže...
Havana, Havana & Surrounding Region, Cuba

Vinales, Western Cuba, Cuba
When you're here: YOU MUST BUY YOUR CIGARS HERE the best there are on the island and the cheapest!!!!
Varadero, Central Cuba, Cuba
Don't go there! It's boring and there are no locals living there, it's seriously nothing but a way to expensive assembly point for tourists. And you don't have to fly all the way to Cuba to get tanned, you can do that in a tanning booth at home- and Cuba has a lot more to offer. Better visit Havana or other cities, but be carful if you're planning on renting a car, because there are no road signs in areas where tourist usually don't go, so don't forget to bring a map!
Santiago de Cuba, Eastern Cuba, Cuba

Cayo Coco, Eastern Cuba, Cuba
Mozzies.. Cayo Coco is situated next to mangroves, so the Mozzies are in abundance. Stay in a hotel which sprays nightly. Covering yourself in Cuban rum also helps!!!
Florida, Eastern Cuba, Cuba
This is a stop on the travel bus route through provinces in Cuba.  The people here are the best in hospitality ONCE THEY KNOW YOU and the business you are here for.  I didn't know much Spanish and was still treated rightly.  Most of the citizens who befriended me spoke flawless English!TIPS:Know Spanish!Stay with friends.Carry toilet paper!DO NOT take pictures of soldiers, or those who you haven't asked permission.Buy no more than three boxes of cigars.
