How come you were confined to the resort at night mate? Was it because there was nothing else around? You can pop into Varedero at night and mix with the locals, very deccent people from what I've seen.
From what I remember, Cayo Coco was pretty isolated, as was our hotel. It's like a 20 minute drive over a narrow causeway to get to the mainland, so it was just 'suggested' to stay in the complex at night. (I'd have had trouble dragging the Mrs out at night anyway!)
The locals were all brilliant when we did meet them!
Ducado, we did a few trips mate, all on the mainland. Didn't manage to get to Havana unfortunately but we did all sorts. Typical things you'd expect from any holiday, but the difference for me than Euro holidays is just the way of life of the general population. I'd get your factor 50 if you're going on any trips as its the hottest place I've ever been
