Varadero, with the DuPont mansion called 'Xanadu'. It's now a hotel and base 
for a golf course. We stayed there as part of our trip arrangements; the 
place has 8 huge rooms that haven't been renovated since the place was built 
in 1930. Lots of marble, but lots of worn bits.

Housing renovations are somewhat ad hoc, and clearly not much supervised by 
any authorities (or people concerned with safety). In Trinidad:

Viewing large is better :-)
C&C very welcome.
