Cuba is great...and Varadero has the best beach Ive ever seen.
If you are going with just your wife go to Sandals Royal Hicacos...it is fantastic and was just voted the best resort in Cuba.

Dont worry about Hurricanes...they are out of your control.
If you want something different try the Royal Decameron in Panama...its cheap and truly a fantastic adventure. They never get Hurricanes
