Well, I can recommend Miami. Is not ruled by comunists and you will not be under surveillance

That is my experience

I myself have been to cuba five times, and varadero is my favourite... it is the only place i have stayed mind you. its a busier area so there is more stuff to do.. I recommend staying at Blau Varadero, its very nice.
the water tempture changes, i was just there in january and it was a little cold. ive gone in march and it was nice, and july, and september and the water was very nice then.

The water will be very warm, no problem at all. Personally I prefer Guardalavaca a opposed to Varadero although I've been to both.
After ten visits to Cuba, my favorite resort, I've been there 5 times and judging from the number of repeat visitors I have met there many others feel the same way about Sol Melia Rio Luna y Mares.. You fly into Holguin and it is about an hour by comfortable bus to Guardalavaca where the resorts are located. Luna y Mares is fantastic, a beautiful white sand powder beach, good dining, excellent friendly staff and lots to do that is included at no extra cost. Check the sites below for more info and check trip advisor for the reviews by other tourists. wherever you go rest assured you wil have a wonderful time and please check the site below for what you can take as gifts to help our Cuban friends.

If it is your first trip to Cuba, I would perhaps suggest staying in the Varadero area. There is a great selection of hotels, from the Melia to the RIU chains. The area is accessible, therefore you are able to see a little of the Country away from the beach, and it is the easiest area to be in, if considering a trip to Havana - which is really interesting. Holguin area, does have good beaches, and nice hotels, but you are not perhaps seeing Cuba for the Country that it is...........

I agree you need to do some research. Varadero is all inclusive resorts - but not really Cuba. You could be anywhere. Yes, the water is warm, just don't go in the hurricane season - which is around when you are talking about.You won't be allowed to swim if they weather is really bad and the last few years they have had a lot of hurricanes.

Cuba is a great place to visit...although personally I would prefer Havana, Trinidad, which is also very near nice beaches (about 8 kms) you could stay at one of those resorts and Vinales which is a little different.

It depends what kind of holiday you are wanting. Just a beach somewhere warm, or an experience of a very different country.

my son has just returned from playa pesquero on his honeymoon, they had a fantastic time,people friendly,the hotel great,lovely food, go on the dolphin tour, he says it is the best thing he has ever done, worth every penny, beautiful beach,not much to buy there, take plenty of toiletries and medicines as not easy to buy.remember to tip a few pesos as they don't earn much,and they appreciate it. they also change beds and towels every day, and make towels into beautiful animals.very relaxing, in february it was 30 degrees, sea alittle cool.but fine lovely pools at hotel

First of all Cuba is in the Caribbean and of course the water is warm in the Summer I was just there (Varadero) in January and the water was still warm and we swam everyday.'

I would recommend Varadero for a first trip it is developed for tourism there is a lot of stuff to do and things to see.

Go and do some research on Tripadvisor that way you will be informed and can make a good decision
