Go! The weather, the beach, the staff ....all fabulous. Yes, there are some shortages but we still managed to gain weight. The bread when fresh, which was at most meals, and cheeses were excellent. Desserts have come up in the world. We even had paella, langoustines, calamari as well as fresh fish, chicken, beef, pork, eggs, salads, pastas, rice, root veg, beans etc, etc. They even had bowls of spices, pickles and olives so seriously hard to listen when others complain. The pizzas are some of the best (I like the super thin cripsy crust) and the hamburgers, although not beef, were super fresh and tasty. Then there is the cappuccinos! Sometimes no lettuce, no onions etc, whoopee. All those who complain about the food please tell me how much weight you lost! The people of Cuba are suffering and the government is trying to attract the tourists back to get the money they need to rebuild the country. The hotels were far from full but the maintenance and upkeep were pretty good and the gardens are lovely. We took a combo of American cash and essential items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine napkins, ibuprofen, pens etc but only saw cash as tips from others. Not sure which is more appreciated since we are not Spanish speaking and basically are very quiet and keep to ourselves. We didn't have the best weather, but better than Toronto where we are from, and yes, you may hear about the sharks but still we will return. You heard right, I said sharks. They were large but not aggressive and the guards were very fast to blow whistles and get people out just in case. Been to Cuba 14 or 15 times and have never seen sharks so this is not usual.
