a good planning tool

This guide book (2007) is a really good planning tool for a trip to Cuba. It has lots of photos and great schematic drawings of important buildings and plazas.

If you are taking a tour package where you are not having to choose accomodation yourself or deal with transport logistics, I would probably take it with me. However, for the traveller who is making all their own decisions and reservations, I would take either Lonely Planet (new edition Fall 09) or the Moon Handbook (06). using the DK just for planning then leaving it at home. DK has minimalhotel recommendations - just the chain hotels, and sketchy restaurant selections. The Moon Handbook has really extensive background information on Cuba, but weighs almost twice as much as Lonely Planet.

!Cuba Rica!

This is agreat book if you've visted Cuba or not. The photos of historical sites are great. The historical references are varied and truthful, based on my study of Cuba. I first got this book on loan from a library; after reading it, I knew I needed my own personal copy.

This would be invaluable, if you're going to visit Cuba.

The best travel guide I've seen

I'm delighted to have bought this guide before my trip to Cuba. It is nicely illustrated and presents substantial historical and cultural information as well as the necessary where-to-stay and what-to-see.

The kind of guide you l'île to look at

Nice pictures and clear presentation make me want to open the book a lot.
There are also a few addresses at the end for restaurants and hotels. But few bed and breakfasts and more State hotels.
The missing element is a practical guide for each destination : how (train, bus ?) and how long to get to this or that city ? There is a chart giving distances, but then the state of roads can make it way longer than what you'd think.
