CUBA
Iberostar, Trinidad, Cuba In the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this stylish boutique hotel offers historical elegance, fantastic accommodation and a location that’s hard to beat.
Local life Our recommendation for really getting under the skin of Cuba, and to sample local life, is to stroll along the Malecon (seafront promenade) in Havana, where Cubans drink rum, chat and watch the world go by.
This vibrant and beautiful Caribbean island is unique, caught in time thanks to 50 years of revolutionary ideas and communist rule. The politics provide the backdrop to a rich culture, history and proud people; manifest in the wonderful live music, superb dancing and elegant colonial buildings.
