Cuba is the friendliest and safest island in the Caribbean. The people are my number one reason for visiting the island, visits which started in the mid-1980. Some of my best friends in Cuba I have known for more than 25 years and whenever I visit new hotels or places, I make new friends with whom I keep in touch on a regular basis.

The island's culture, music and history are also important features; Cuba is much more than sun and sea, there is great deal to see and experience outside of the resort not only in Varadero, but in other areas and in the small towns throughout the island.
