Also, keep in mind that Cuba has food (and other) rationing. Visitors are
exempt. This means that you can have what you want, and what's left over is
divided up among the actual Cubans.
I'd advise considering Jamaica, one of the few Caribbean countries that has
never considered itself too poor to afford two (or more!) political parties.
