Hi Tonya,
Definitely go, you will have an amazing time. I went with an airbnb, it was just easier to pay upfront. I downloaded Maps.me app before going to Cuba and it gives a very detailed map of Cuba that you can use even with no cell service. We never got lost thanks to that app. Very little english is spoken but if you know a few basics of Spanish you will be fine. Cab drivers you can always show the map off the app or tell them where to go. My airbnb host arranged airport transfers for us and we cared it around the city when we weren’t walking.

I am considering Cuba for May and I’m torn about using a casa particular (like you used) or just doh g it another way. Did you find it had navigating your way through Cuba or did the drivers take you where you needed to go like your accommodations etc? Very curious about that. My Spanish has helped me in other predominantly Spanish speaking countries but I’m not that damn fluent! Lol.

I’m glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for reading. I wasn’t trying to be offensive cults are religious groups it doesn’t have to be sinister. It was meant to be a joke but I’m not exactly sure what it was which is why i just grouped it in that category. Its not that deep. Its just my experience.

But I’m pretty sure it was some kind of cult. At closer inspection there were little offerings around the room”.

I really enjoyed your Cuba “diary” but the statement I copied and pasted kind of got under my skin. I am not Cuban and I am no expert nor am I trying to be overly PC, but Cubans practice many religions including Catholicism, Santeria, Voodou, Yoruba as well as other African religions. These are not cults.
