Package holidays to Cuba.

By Jose Mauricio Maurette

In this article I would like to give my point of view about these package holidays to Cuba that are sold by big tour operators at a very good price. Cuba has a great appeal as a tourist destination for holiday seekers and one of its main attributes is its beaches.

There are plenty of alternatives in terms of beach destinations in this Caribbean island and the vast majority of them have international arriving point close by. To take an example, let us look at Cayo Santa Maria, this heaven of turquoise color beaches and white sand is a preferred among vacationers and has a small international airport located in Santa Clara province only 1 hour far from resorts.

In this beach location you will get absolute relaxation and accommodation facilities that go from 3 to 5 star quality hotels. There are only few resorts in the vicinity so the overcrowded factor is out of the question. It is suitable for either families, as some of them count with excellent kids clubs, or adults only and for those I particularly recommend Paradisus Rio de Oro hotel.

All of the hotels in this little island are all inclusive so you do not need to go finding restaurants or entertainment outside the resort. Excellent shows are presented by the staff of the hotels in their outdoor theaters at night or in the swimming pools during the daytime. Fishing, diving and all sorts of excursions are also available from the reservation desks in the lobby of each hotel.

Lots of table games, archery, salsa and Spanish lessons and water sports that do not require fuel are included within the price you paid for you package holiday. You will not be required to spend a penny while staying in your hotel. All of them have one buffet restaurant and at least 2 or 3 a la carte restaurants. These last ones will require a reservation made from the reception of the hotels everyday from 7 to 12 AM.

But it is a real shame if you take such a long flight top visit Cuba and end up only staying on a beach resort. Cuba is a mystic, romantic destination with lots of other attributes other than beautiful beaches. I strongly recommend you visit Havana the Capital of Cuba. Now in this case it is a lot better to contact one of the specialists in holidays to Cuba.

Say for instance that you want to spend few nights in Havana and then go to any of this beach resorts. Well in this case maybe is better to contact any of the smaller tour operators which have a great deal of experience in organizing tailor made holidays. They will arrange the international flights to Havana, the transfers and/or domestic flights and the accommodation in any of these beach locations.

If you are not lucky and find one of this specialists or you are simply tempted by the very cheap prices of the big tour operators that only do beach holidays, I still recommend you take an excursion from your hotel to visit Havana or any other important city. At the end of the day you can not say you have been to Cuba if you only stayed on a huge all inclusive resort by the beach which could be anywhere in the world.
