Us Québécois love going to Cuba, we've been vacationing there for ever! It's amazing, not a single American in sight!

Just went to Cancún, so many québécois! It's a direct flight from YUL. Not that many Americans in some areas.

Still more Americans than Havana, also a direct flight from YUL ;)

Went in January and Cancun was crawling with shity Americans I won't be back ever.

It's worth going to that area and seeing other stuff. Cancún is not a great place, but there are lots of cool things in the area

Yeah I vacationed in Playa Del Carmen, not Cancún itself.

Beautiful beaches, food sucks though. Mexico is better!

Oh I think the dirt cheap, plentiful, delicious food is what I'll miss the most in Mexico.

The people are also genuinely wonderful (at least in Cancún / Playa Del Carmen), I've heard the opposite for the Dominican Republic. Don't know about Cuba.

Yes. Food is not great in Cuba. Unless you stay with a local and have the amazing fresh fruit for breakfast. And the coffee / dairy is amazing!

I keep hearing this, but man was it not my experience. I may have just been unlucky, or maybe it was just our specific resort, but the food we ate on the resort was extremely disappointing. The best meal I ate whole week was a random lunch I ate in a disposable plate (the cochinita pibil was out of this world) before leaving Tulum. Meanwhile most food in Cuba was perfectly fine. On average not the best I ate in my life, but nothing terrible.
