Answer 1

I recently went to Cuba in April, for my first time, and let me tell you it was amazing. A note of advice, when in Cuba often times you tip your maids and waitresses, when in the hotel, try leaving a little something for your maid, like some shampoo or sometime, these maids are very sweet.

When i went to Cuba i took a bag full or shampoo, toothpaste,haircare, little kids stuff and each morning i left a few items on my bed, when the end of my trip came to an end, i left my sneakers i had brought and the rest of the goodies, the maids really enjoy these presents.

Tip #2: the Cuban people are the nicest people you will ever meet.

Tip #3: try taking the walking tour of old Havana, you will see so
much of the architecture that the city has to offer and it is absolutely breath taking.

Tip #4: a good hotel is Club Amigo Varadero, it is a 4 star hotel and offers all inclusive stays, and had tours stationed out of the hotel, it also has a spectacular beach, and pools.

Tip #5: the food in Cuba is great, a few good food choices are; The pork in Cuba is good, the rice is good as well.

Tip #6: you have to have 25 Cuban Convertable Pasos to leave the country so when leaving cuba make sure you have this if not you cannot leave the country, once you have your ticket at the airport make your way to the left side of the airport where for the most part there should be a line of people this is where you pay your departure fee(there are signa posted), once done that make your way through customs, when you get to the top of the stairs, there is a bank where you can change your Cuban Convertibles back to your currency.You can also take your currency and get it changed at the hotel banks, before you leave for the day. When i was in cuba i took a money bag which went around my waist, i put my money in it and carried it with me, it saves you from the possibility of being pickpoketed but i didnt have a problem. This advice of money is based on flying into and out of Varadero.

As well make sure to bargain with people when shopping,you can get really good deals in Havana and Varadero. Another note, i'm not sure where you are from but i am from canada and we arent suppose to bring back wood products from international places, so check that out before leaving so that when comming back through customs you dont have problems, i brought wood back anyway but you should check that out.

I hope that these tips help Cuba is a wonderful country, most of all have fun while your there, try and see as much of the island as you are able to, because it has so much to offer.

I have been to Cuba 4 times in the last 5 years. I love it. I'd start off by going to Varadero and stay at a 4 or 5 star hotel. Take the Jeep tour, the Catamaran/Dolphin Tour and the Havana tour. In Varadero you can souvineer shop at the markets, go to Josone Park to wander around and have lunch. The hotels I would recommend are Iberostar Varadero, Blau Varadero and Breezes Jibacoa. Breezes Jibacoa is a wonderful little resort, its isolated (half way between Varadero and Havana. It has great snorkleing.

They have many hotels there, nice ones- I forgot the names, but you can check on the internet. There are a number of hotels also in Vedado ( which houses a world known Cuban ice cream) which is also inside Havana.

Advices:
There are alot of Spanish tourists there.
Cubans in the streets normally have satisfactory understanding the English language and as well as conversation.

There is a special currency for tourists, Cuban "Convertible" (pronounce it as Spanish)... the exchange rate is normally 1.25 US dollar to 1 convertible.(but I don't know now since, it has been many months)
>People there are warm and nice.
>Try their very own Mojito, and the Cuban cuisine.
>Buy Cuband recordings (and save it in your laptop) If your gov't doesnt allow you to purchase their products. Their music is a treasure.
>Try to learn to dance their very own salsa, in which they have a saying...your not good in "you know what" if you cant dance salsa- but if you do know, observe how they dance it, it can melt the ice.

Places to visit: (Based on my experience)
Within the city, their is also a China town. (A Chinese restaurant which serves pizza)

>Try their mixed pizza.
>Watch their Cabaret shows in some of their premeire hotels.
>Wide coastline, lots of beaches to choose from.
>Many wonderful clubs (with entrance fees)
>There is a Bazaar of souvenir items near the harbor.

and yes it is a perfect place for honeymoon...

I am not an American, so - I have no idea what advice I can give you regarding visa matters.

*keep your passport very well, just in case.
*Learn some Spanish words, knowing their native language gives you points to give them more pleasure in interacting with you.
