Two years ago we went to Cuba (Varadero) for a week to an all inclusive (drinks included too).
Everything was ok except the food... in 3 days and we were pretty much tired of it.
In Cuba they don't get the same spices so the food tastes not so good.. then the drinks.. while enjoying a drink at the bar with my wife we realized all those bottles looked funny.. so we looked closely: Snirnoff, Asboult, Liquor 34, beleiys, etc.. (see the subtle difference?) - What were we drinking!! From that point on I just had beer (and that is so-so). Then the bartender told me they refill the bottles.. yikes!

We went to Habana in a tour and it was fine unfortunately we walked along a street with ocean on one side and a park on the other.. and what a hassle!! All those people calling us in different langagues looking for our attention, really uncomfortable and while waiting for the bus this guy approached us and started asking for money, we declined (you're advised to never give them money) so he started asking for my sunglasses, hat, even my shorts! Then he got upset because "I could buy anything anytime and he couldn't" so he started pulling my sunglasses off my head so we struggled for a little bit...

My wife was really shocked of what was going on. I thought the brat was going to rip off the camera and run away but when I asked him for his name so I'd talked to the cops the guy stopped and kindly let go my camera strap and sunglasses... he walked away cursing.. F*kin idtiot! he ruined the trip to Habana.

Basically in Habana everyone will ask you for something... Cubans are almost the most dishonest people I've ever met.

The service in all different places we went was really poor, the Cubans have no idea what Customer Service means.. they couldn't care less cause they know you'll tip them.

Would we go back to Cuba??

No. Not because of that sour experience but because it is really depressing to see so much poverty and people so desperate.
Turism infrastructure is just starting.. beaches are not good because they're too far north from the Caribean.
Rent a car and you better buy all kind of insurance because your spare tire and jack will dissapear!! even the people at the rental place tell you that :-(

Nothing like Cancun. (my personal opinion)
