Summary: The best guide by far
Comment: This LP guide is the best for information, history, prices and a good unbiased account of the Cuba-US relationship. This is far better than the Moon guide, the only exception is that the maps try and cram a lot in a small place -bigger maps please. But this is an minor grumble. I travelled around Cuba by myself speaking no Spanish and found my LP to be my second-best friend (after my Cuban hosts). Go to Cuba & take LP with you.

Summary: Doesn't go in depth
Comment: I just studied in Cuba for four months, with a group of 20 other students, which gave me the opportunity to look over almost all of the Cuba guidebooks on the market. Lonely Planet was definitely the worst...if you're only going to be in Cuba for a few days, then it's fine. But if you want to really learn about the country's fascinating history and culture, don't opt for LP. I was one of two students to buy the Moon Handbook, and the other students were constantly borrowing it, because their Lonely Planet books just didn't have enough information.

Summary: An outstanding work, despite inevitable local restrictions
Comment: It is not easy to write a book about Cuba, whether it be a book on politics and society, or whether it be simply a travel guidebook. Cuba remains a communist island under the iron fist of a minority, and all research work, all travel, all writing, is closely scrutinized by the central apparatus. Despite the restrictions he must have met in such a situation, author David Stanley has produced a truly outstanding work, a perfect guide for the traveler who may wish to go to Cuba for the most disparate reasons, from sightseeing to good food, from snorkeling to biking, etc. David has truly been throughout the island, getting to know all its cities and places far better than a local. Well done ! It will be hard to replace, with a book, the emotions, the warmth, the spirit of Cuba which can only be found on the island itself. Nevertheless, this book is certainly very close to achieving that, and will be a true companion throguhout your journey to this wonderful Caribbean island, the star of the Caribbean, the biggest of the Antilles, as it has been called on different occasions.
