Do you still maybe have a link to the post somewhere? I'm curious how's Cuba like, I was wondering if I should maybe go for a trip there or if it's a bad time.
My post was removed unfortunately but if you see my other comments in this thread I go over it a bit. The last time I was there it was last year so things could have changed.
If you’re going to a resort, expect to have few food options. You won’t go hungry but depending on all sorts of factors, you might only get eggs at the breakfast buffet once a week. It’s expected to tip the staff with a few USD. You can go into Havana or Varadero and go sightseeing and explore. Havana is better for this. Varadero is pretty touristy but still very nice. The restaurants in the city have much better food (I even had fried chicken!) but don’t drink anything with ice. The water isn’t filtered and you’ll probably get mild runs for a day. Wasn’t even that bad but was not a super comfortable day haha.
If you’re looking for a very cheap sunny beach vacation spot and don’t mind the limited food options, it’s great. Expect to only see Russian and Quebec tourists. You may stumble upon the odd Australian or British person but it’s like 60% French Canadians that go there, 30% Russians, and 10% other countries.
You’ll find no Americans there (since it’s illegal for them).
