Cuba - some great deals to this romantic Caribbean island
Cuba, located in the northern Caribbean, and renowned worldwide for its culture and charm, consists of the 766 mile long island of Cuba, the Isle of Youth, and several adjacent small islands. Its culture draws its influences from the aboriginal Taíno and Ciboney people, Spain, Africa, and also, to some extent, the USA. The island has a tropical climate with warm temperatures, and with that holiday essential of sunshine for most of the year.
The resorts of Cuba range from utterly restful to party animal heaven. The lively resort of Varadero is close to Havana, but if peace and quiet is what you are after then the resort of Guardalavaca on the north-east coast may suit you down to the ground. If you don’t feel like reaching into your pocket every five minutes, the resort of Playa Pesquero has plenty of all-inclusive hotels. The capital city of Havana has long been a popular destination in its own right, with its beautiful Old Town, stylish old cars being driven down its streets, its bars playing salsa music, and its cigar factories.
Now where does budget travel come into all of this? Well, Cuba now provides some of the best value for money in the otherwise expensive Caribbean – you don’t have to one of the wealthy jet set to enjoy a holiday in Cuba. For example, if you are looking for a break in the sun this winter, Virgin Holidays are offering one week all inclusive packages, including flights, from just £688 per person.
So why not escape the coming winter cold, and give yourself a relaxing break in sunny Cuba?
If you are still trying to make your mind up, in future posts I will talk a little about the different resorts on this lovely island.
