If a flight to the Caribbean isn't possible this summer, Quebecers can still get a tropical resort experience at the Havana Resort, just 90 minutes east of Montreal in the Estrie town of Maricourt.

The 263-acre campsite is complete with thatched-roof structures, colourful chalet rentals and even, it seems, a few palm trees.
