Best resort to go to in Cuba?? |
Travel Info Im looking for the nicest resort to go to in Cuba? Want nice beaches, good food and a bit of nightlife.... Also, whats it like there? Thanks Travel Tips I would say The Melia Las Americas in Varadero, it's 35 minutes from the airport they are 24 hours which is always good, and they have nightly entertainment. Breezes is also another favourite, they also offer 24 hour drinks, they have a disco , and room service for breakfast. Lastly Blau Varadero, the a la cartes are verygood, they have nightly entertainment and the staff are wonderful. In Varadero you can leave and go out at night, being careful of course!! La Rumba - 10 pesos to get in & 1 peso a drink The Cave - 10 pesos to get in & 1 peso a drink International - 10 pesos to get in & 1 peso a drink The Mediterranean - 10 pesos to get in & 1 peso a drink =) Others being American I wouldnt know, I have heard the country is in really bad shap though so be careful. BTW can you get me some cuban cigars while your there Try Sandals or Breezes Well,everyone goes to Varadero, which is on a peninsula east of Havana. The beach is the best in Cuba, and there are plenty of all inclusive hotels. To be honest, if all you want is sun and sand and nightlife then Varadero is your best bet. The downside is that you won't see any of the rest of Cuba, which is a fantastic country, and the only Cubans you'll meet will be serving your drinks & food. When I went to Cuba I just bought flights and did my own thing when I got there. I got to stay with Cuban families, and saw almost the whole country, which was so much more rewarding than the standard all inclusive deal to Varadero. If you do stay at Varadero, make sure you take one of the day trips to Havana, about 2 hours away. Old Havana is an absolute treasure, and though you will be pestered by touts selling Cuban cigars/rum/girls etc I guarantee you will love the place. If you get some free time, take a walk over to the other parts of the city,Centro Havana and in particular Miramar, where all the old art deco buildings are still perfectly preserved, and the old American classics cruise the boulevards; you could almost be in 1950's Miami. The Cubans themselves are very friendly and welcoming, and are immensely proud of their country, so taking a little time to see things off the usual tourist trail will almost always pay dividends. Crime is not an issue, and I would describe Cuba as the safest country I've ever visited. Eating out can be a bit of a minefield; all restaurants are state owned, so even if they kill you with their food (and believe me it happens) the staff won't be fired. The all inclusive hotels serve good food so that's not a problem,, but if you eat out in Varadero or Havana, choose carefully. Best option is to find a "paladar", which is a private home which serves food. These are just brilliant, where you can be served a huge meal of fresh red snapper and veg, potatoes, rice & beans etc, for $10 (about 拢5), and the food is invariably delicious. Finding a paladar isn't hard; any tout will be only too happy to show you (they will expect a small commission, $2 or $3). Girls travelling there will find the Cuban men a bit wearing, they aren't pervy but they ARE very persisitent, and any female tourist will receive several marriage proposals a day! Have a GREAT trip and make sure you drink lots of lovely Havana Club too! Guantanamo Bay Sounds like Varedero would be right up your street, plenty of nightlife in Varedero town and spectacular beaches, the food in Cuba is plain but tasty, if your into burgers and fish and chips its not the place to go, just good honestly home cooked plain food that's beautiful, other parts of Cuba like Guadalavacia are lovely too but a tad quieter than Varedero and the Cayos such as Cayo Coco are just so beautiful and peaceful, very romantic but with little to do in the evenings, Cuba has the most beautiful beaches, its like having silver velvet between your toes and the ocean is to die for, bath tub warm and amazing with fish swimming around you, the Cubans are wonderful laid back people who will go out of their way to make you holiday even better for you, hope this helps and hope you have a fabulous time if you decide its the place for you, good luck. The beaches of Varadero are the loveliest, unspoilt and heavenly white sand beaches I have ever seen. There are quite a few resorts on the miles of beaches of Varadero - 2 hours from Havana - Super Clubs have a few properties there. |
