Customer Reviews

An excellent guide to Cuba that has sold me on the Rough Guides!

I used this Rough Guide for Cuba on a recent trip to the island. After using LP guides for several European destinations, I grew weary of their maps (that don't label streets where you most need them) and catty editorializing. The Cuba guide had lots of information on restaurants at all price points that were not in my friend's LP guidebook. The asides on local culture were relevant and almost always addressed something I had seen and wondered about. In short, an excellent guidebook.

Not bad.

This guide is not bad at all. It's up-to-date, but I found some inaccuracies in it (like the distance between Holguin and Guradalavaca). We used this guide as a backup for the Moon Handbook, which is a bit outdated, but is much more extensive and better written.
