Despite its being one of the last remaining Communist countries, visitors to Cuba are greeted with salsa beats, exotic food and a carnival atmosphere. It is a true assault on the senses.

Cuba is still experiencing a dramatic transformation since it first opened its doors to tourists after almost 30 years of isolation. Most significant are the ever-growing choices of resorts and hotels that are opening in towns throughout the country. The best hotels can be found in Havana, Trinidad, Cayo Coco and at the beach resort of Varadero. In general, the hotels are clean, well-designed and efficiently managed. There are a number of higher ranked hotels opening up that offer luxury, top-quality service and a wide range of facilities. In addition, internal flights have helped to open up what were once inaccessible corners of the country.
