Although I haven't checked in the last year or two, visas were not available
to U.S. citizens a while back.  As an American living in Canada I was always
left out when my Canadian friends lapped up the sun in Cuba at winter
holiday time.  Three out of four experiences I heard about afterwards were
great, the fourth being some complaint about plumbing facilities being
below acceptable standards, or food uninspired.  Probably these were hotels
that were too new to this tourist game.  Beaches etc. always great.  No 
beggers, etc. etc. allowed to harrass the gringos.
