For years I have been told that I must travel to Cuba because it is a holiday paradise. It was only until recently that I had the desire to go. Three days into the holiday I kicked myself for not coming sooner. Where do I begin? Hmmm?I chose Havana because it was the place that I knew most about and the one that was recommended for a first time experience. The airport was a good size and it only took me 20 minutes to get through customs (I have waited in lines of over an hour before). The Hotel Raquel was very spacious and well maintained. The bathroom was a god size and one bed could hold a family of four. I had a wardrobe, table, chairs, couch, desk, and internet plug ins. Members of the staff walked right up to me by the pool or in the lobby and asked me if I needed anything, like a free drink. I did not like the reception staff at the front desk. They were somewhat rude and gave the impression that they had better things to do than to check me in but the other members of the staff made up for them.
I have had Cuban food before but not like this. The spices and the boldness made my tongue dance. I had chicken, beef, fish, rice, pasta, and endless baskets for real Cuban bread. I had flan and tried Cuban soda; even sweeter than the soda from home. I thought that it would be hard to enjoy night time fun by myself but I made friends with many of the guys at the clubs and bars. And it was a good thing that I like to dance because the women were incredible dancers. For water fun outside of the beach, I went to Catamaran to snorkel. I will be returning soon.
