Holidays in cuba

By Jose Mauricio Maurette

Holidays to Cuba have been for the past 15 years in the agenda of European holiday makers. Cuba with its warm weather is a favourite destination for those looking to relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches that shelter the Cuban littoral.

For water sports enthusiasts Cuba is an ideal destination, with beautiful sandy beaches with turquoise colour waters, and coral reefs waiting to be explored. Varadero, Cayo Largo, Cayo Coco and Guardalavaca are just some of the best beaches in Cuba with excellent accommodation facilities.

If you want to do something more tailor made such as SCUBA diving or nature holidays to Cuba our suggestion is to contact a Cuba specialist. You will find that there are not many travel agents out there that specialize in this kind of holidays to Cuba.

For history buffs, the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Trinidad on the south coast, and the old town of Havana are must see places. At Guama there is an Amerindian village, which has been carefully reconstructed, with wooden bridges linking several islets. Visitors eating outside their hotels should be aware that outside Havana, restaurant menus may be more limited than on many other Caribbean islands, and will be dominated by locally available produce. In contrast, youll find no shortage of exotic rum cocktails.

If you are looking for shopping holidays then Cuba is perhaps not the best destination although there will be a number of hand craft markets available on each an every location in Cuba. Tobacco, rum and coffee are the most popular souvenirs tourists buy in Cuba. Black coral jewellery is also very demanded.

Traditional package holidays to Cuba are available with several leading tour operators, and can represent excellent value for money. Alternatively, for greater flexibility, and equally competitive prices, simply choose a hotel in Cuba from the selection of Cuban hotels available, and add this to a flight to Cuba, to create your ideal Cuban holidays. If you are visiting family or friends, you may not need to book accommodation in Cuba at all, and may wish to only search for flights to Cuba.

A dedicated team of Cuba travel advisors is available 7 days a week to help you arrange your Cuba Holidays. In my modest opinion is best to speak to a specialist in order to find out which places to avoid and which locations are more attractive. - 20896
