In 2015, sanctions began to be lifted between the US and Cuba, which would eventually lead to US airlines offerings thousands of daily seats between the US and Havana, which in many ways the city was unprepared for. I had the chance to visit Havana last December. I'm happy I had the chance to visit,…

Hello PointPros,
I would appreciate a response to my remarks emailed a week ago.
This is the 5th time I have had to chase your organisation for a response. Would you please advise if this is an overly busy time, or to be frank, plain sloppiness?
Apologies to others reviewing this actual topic however it is difficult to illicit a response from PointPros.
A friend of mine went to Havana in October and stayed at the Iberostar Parque Central. According to him it was a really nice hotel, which wasn't expensive in Cuban standards (circa. $280 per night). Though in honesty the Kempinski looks better
I'm not big into Airbnb, but that is by far the best (and cheapest) way to stay in Cuba. We stayed in 3 different houses/apartments when we were there a few months ago and all were fantastic, for ~$10/person. Until the hotels greatly improve, this is what I would recommend.
Hi I planned a trip to Cuba in August as a cruise. The best way to go you shop all day sightseeing do the beach and at night come and sleep on the ship. It's something to think about.
I went to Cuba November 2016 and remember this hotel still under construction. It sits right across the road from all angles of Cubas poverty. I think it's disgusting, waving such luxury in their faces whilst the locals live in the conditions they do. Don't get me wrong, the hotel looks beautiful and I bet it is! But you don't go to Cuba for the glam and luxury. It is history, education, culture, art, dance and music.
Obviously the current socialist government has done little for its citizens while its leader sits on billions.
How many boats of cuban americans do you see crossing the ocean from Flordia to get into Cuba?
Cubans are a majoriy enterprising, Republican capitalists therfore applaud this property as a first step to individual prosperity and a step forward in turning around a failed economy. Cuba has the the great potential of becoming the jewell of the Atlantic.
Can't wait to see a thriving Cuban.
@ Kristopher -- Grrr, sorry for the delay, and just sent you a fresh email! Not sure what is going on with our CRM, so please keep an eye out for it.
I just returned from Cuba, via a cruise. It was great experiencing the history first hand. It was also nice to be able to return to a clean state room and shower. The people were warm and friendly. I cant wait to return and see all i missed on my quick trip. God bless the people of Cuba.
