Cuba has everything, tropical paradise getaways, and vibrant resorts with abundant nightlife and of course the wonderful and colourful Havana. All of this large island you will get the feel of what life is like here, this is still a communist country and although it can be difficult to tell you still feel that time has moved on much slower than elsewhere in the Caribbean. Cars seem to be from the American 1950’s era and the architecture is very art deco but this just adds to the romance of this wonderful island.
