A real eye-opener. Felt like we actually got a glimpse of what REAL Cuban life is like - the good and the bad aspects. Saw outstanding natural beauty and spoke to (and danced with!) local people who were happy to answer our questions. Overall a wonderful experience.
(more)The visit to Comandancia De Plata was absolutely fascinating, seeing where the Revolution began and how they lived whilst fighting Batista. I also loved all the outdoor swimming we got to do - in the Caribbean near the Bay of Pigs, in cave pools & rivers in Topes De Collantes, all so refreshing. (more)
We had such wonderful, exciting and relaxing time, made possible by the beautiful nature, the perfectly designed accommodation, perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment and most of all by the great effort, the hard work, the touching kindness and the relentless but unobtrusive enthusiasm of Porridge and Jeanelle and of all the other people. They made our vacation truly unforgettable. (more)Trinidad was an amazing city and really touched our hearts, but having a car and the freedom to explore, and being able to see the real Cuba was the best thing we did. (more)
Cruising in the 1950's cars was absolutely amazing - this is a must in Havana!!! Also loved the horseback riding in Vinales - Che's monument - Trinidad was fun, lots of music/salsa dancing there. (more)Most memorable was swimming in a cave, with bats over head! Meeting people from completely different cultures (and dancing with them...) (more)
Searching for whales, being greeted by dolphins, snorkelling above seahorses leave a warm fuzzy feeling inside. I feel truly privileged to have been a part of the ecolodge and Dominican way of life, even if it was just for 2 weeks. (more)
We spend a great two weeks at the retreat. Porridge (the manager) and his staff make anything possible and are very nice to be with. A very friendly atmosphere at the accommodation as well as in the village. Beautiful garden around the accommodation and a great beach below.

Every day was an adventure so it's difficult to pick a highlight. We cycled a day off road around the country side in the south-east of the island which was great fun. (more)Fabulous. We loved the great hiking trails on Saba and the cooking at the ecolodge where was stayed was absolutely fabulous! (more)
Every day of my vacation there was a great moment. Diving was superb, the food excellent and people extremely service orientated and pleasant to talk with. (more)Drinking rum and coke out of a coconut while swimming in beautiful sea waters at sunset, simply brilliant...Loved it. Been on many tours, the tour guide was good and it was lovely to travel in a manageable group size. (more)Best experience was Caleta Buena diving centre near Playa Giron - beautiful place and very friendly staff. Fantastic vacation - we would definitely return and we have recommended Cuba to our friends. (more)I had some of the best snorkels of the last 10 years on the Bloody Bay wall. Reefs and the fish environment are in really good shape. The resort is delightful - small, excellent food and a really friendly environment.
