My parents arrived in Cuba for their honeymoon just as Castro was taking over - armed soldiers entered their airplane and escorted them off and to their hotel for a sleepless night then back on the plane the next morning. Luckily, Jamaica was next on their tour and they had a great time there! I wasn't back in Jamaica (only the half of me in my Mom's ovary was there the first time) until I was three and then 5 yo. I guess I know how my fascination with the island started.

I feel sometimes like I should complete my parent's Cuba trip and probably will someday. I do have a close friend that visited Cuba last year on '5 star tour' - he was very disappointed with every aspect of the trip from the crumbling infrastructure and buildings to the dearth of fresh food and water. Maybe viable in a few years but for now, I am sticking with the Land I Love.

Comparing Cuba to Jamaica is apples and oranges. I love Negril and will always continue to go , I love the beach and the water, the people, the food , the music, the vibe........
But Cuba was amazing.....I would advise for everyone to go just once.
It was like stepping into a postcard from long ago, with no guns or drugs to worry about, and the lowest crime rate of any of the Caribbean destinations, that in itself makes the appeal undeniable.
