    You have to understand though, it ain't Vegas or some place like that. Accommodations I would put to a Super 8 with 30 year old decor. But the rooms are clean, booze is free (and cheap off the resorts) and good cigars are plentiful.

    I'm not down with the all-inclusive-anywhere-anytime But on one of your subsequent trips, if you want to head to Havana instead, I've got a few friends and people I can line you up with who will take good care of you! Or if you are heading there for a day trip I might be able to afford a bit of advice too. When I went for my first time, it was an all inclusive called the Brisa del Carib. Was probably a 3-4 star hotel. No problems there if that is one of your options.


    Cuba's the best and if you've never been to a hot place, an all inclusive is the way too go. Great way to not get too much culture shock, hehe. The locals aren't allowed there at all so unfortunately you'll be getting to know employees and tourists only.

    I'm super happy to hear you're finally going!!!


    WOOT!!

    Hmmm. Been dating this new girl for a month now. We are already planning a trip to Cuba Together. Let me know your dates and, well, you never know.... ;-)

    Definitely do.

    I haven't bought yet. I am going to just do a last minute deal all inclusive to Varadero. I am hoping to be able to find something decent for around 900 or so a person.

    We are planning on leaving sometime between May 30 and June 3.

    Drew, if you're willing to lay out that coin for a last minute, you'll do better than "decent".
