    Have to admit we were stuck in the middle off nowhere (intentionally). We did go out on the hotel bus, went to a local market a couple of tImes, extremely cheap at the markets, even by our standards.

    We went end of September and it was fine.

    It is better than Mexico for going out and about, the area we were in was very rural. People are happy enough and friendly.

    As for things to do, it really depends on where you end up. We could have taken a trip into Havana but it was a long way away.

    It is more of a chill out holIday, or it was for us anyway.

    Great thanks for that.

    Tell me more, is it safe to go out, or are you stuck on a complex, is there much to do. Best times to go or avoid??

    I went to Jibacoa and it was lovely. I took out extra stuff with me to give to local people. Toiletries (horrendously expensive for locals), pens, pencils, writing pads for children, sweets, pasta, childrens underwear, peanuts (sounds stupid but I took a kg bag with me :o didn't eat them but the bar person loved it when I gave it to him. A small bag would cost £5 there. Vitamin C tablets are also good to take to give and also feminine products. Tampax are prohibitively expensive as are paracetamol. Chewing gum is very welcome. Please leave any 'free' toiletries in resort for your 'cleaner' but leave a note saying that you are doing that, so they are not accused of stealing.
    It is very safe. The Cuban people are lovely. Enjoy your holiday.
