Advantages: Amazing diving, great views, great value for money
Disadvantages: none!

Playa Larga and Playa Giron at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba are well known for their political and revolutionary history. Most tourists opt to visit the Bay of Pigs museum on a daytrip from Cienfuegos. They might stop off at the seaside for a quick lunch but m ... Read review

Advantages: Absolutely great place to stay. Good value for money for solo traveller

This summer´s trip has been to Cuba thanks to a generous university field trip and a lovely travel agent that allowed me to extend my flight for next to nothing. So while my colleagues from university boarded their flight back to England I packed my backp ... Read review

Excellent review E by CPTDANIELS

A very well rounded review - you've given a great picture of not just the atmosphere in the hostel (which sounds more like a hotel to me!) but the local area, too. by KateHurst

Advantages: Stunning place to visit, great city break, lots of activities
Disadvantages: Too many mosquitos in rainy season

Cuba is a country full of contradictions; starting with the glittering resorts in Varadero to the no-frills backpacker haven of Baracoa. You have limited free speech and loads of restrictions but free healthcare and education. Tourists can choose between ... Read review

Yeah i don't doubt that. But where we were staying there wasn't much about. If you stayed in Havana im sure there would be more to see and do. The desserts in the all inclusive hotels all seem to be the same. They are brought in, look nice but all taste the same! by nashreview

Cuban desserts bad? Maybe you should have eaten in some paladars instead of at an all in hotel. With all that sugar, Cubans make great desserts! by fizzytom

Sol Cayo Guillermo Cuba Best Avoided
by natasha-tamara

read all reviews

Advantages: Beautiful, tranquil town centre, lovely accomodation, easy reach of the countryside and beaches.
Disadvantages: None you won't find elsewhere in Cuba.

Just as Havana looks, feels and smells like the epitome of "faded grandeur", the town of Trinidad, on the southern edge of Cuba's elongated finger, could well be the encyclopaedic entry for "colonial charm". Today part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, alo ... Read review

Advantages: See the best of a wonderfully befuddling country for a fraction of the prices.
Disadvantages: You'll have had easier, more relaxing holidays.

White-sand beaches and crumbling houses; cigars, rum and bearded revolutionaries - Cuba is frequently, and not inaccurately imagined as a romantic mess. With beachfront vistas and azure seas like many around the world, but with a history and a beguiling, ... Read review

Advantages: Great views of Santa Clara and beyond; the family connections of the waiter.
Disadvantages: Shocking toilets, lack of alcohol in cocktails, lack of food in restaurant

Santa Clara’s pistachio-coloured Hotel Libre still bears the bullet marks from the battle that ultimately saw Castro and his rebels seize power from the American-backed Fulgencio Batista in 1959. It towers over the city, offering the best view of Santa Cl ... Read review

Advantages: The sun, the sea and the sand.
Disadvantages: This isn't the real Cuba.

Varadero is an odd place - it is a beach resort located on the Caribbean island of Cuba, but in many ways it is the complete opposite of everything that encompasses the true essence of Cuba. It is nothing more than a tourist cocoon where people go to soak ... Read review

I travelled to Cayo Coco in November 09 and had a great time - I booked it 2 weeks before I went and was not sure what to expect. The hotel is only 10 mins from the airport so although it is a 9.5 hr flight the journey is not too bad. Despite this there ... Read review
