When you step outside the airport look out for the guys trying to carry your bags to the bus assuming your in Varadero and taking a bus to a resort. They'll just grab them so hang on to your bag and tell them to fuck off or if you want to be nice just say no I got it.

I really liked Cuba as far as a nice place but I hated the food so much that I will never ever go back. I am a picky eater (no seafood for me) so this effected what I could eat a lot. Havana is pretty cool to check out but the poverty in general is fairly depressing. If you do go to Havana go with a tour and do not venture off to far on your own. I know one of the groups I was in there was a guy who had his 3 year old son with him who wandered into the wrong store. They basically roughed him up and forced him to buy some counterfeit cigars before they would let him leave. That was a one off though I didn't really feel unsafe or anything on any part of my trip, the army and there machine guns are very visible.
