oh sorry to hear about the food, I heard the food was great, but it was coming from people who ate at peoples homes, in bed and breakfast type hook ups...
they said lots of rice and beans but the fish and carne aka meats were seasoned to perfection.
thanks for this thread it reminded me how much I wanted to visit....
We did Airbnbs except for when in Varadero - because we were always on tours for, like 10-12 hours a day, our hosts never cooked for us. Food in most restaurants were meh. But, I'm a harsh critic - I'm from NOLA and cook with tons of seasoning, so my standards are pretty high lol
