So you wouldn't recommend a casa particular?

I wouldn't recommend Cuba travel at all, but if you're dead set on going, I'd look for the most expensive 5 star hotel, and hope that you get 2 star service. And the other caveats still apply - no driving, don't wear flashy jewelry, don't drink the water, and of course don't think of making any negative comments about the government.

DH is Cuban as well. His family has basically said the exact same thing. We will not be traveling their with DC Anytime in the near future.
