CUBA VACATIONS, MAKING FRIENDS




Cuba is a unique country and therefore a vacation destination like no other. The political situation for the last fifty years has made the island one of the few places in the world without mass marketing and mass media. It is a place which can confound and delight in equal measure and well worth a visit before things change. Cuba vacations are easy to plan using the internet as there is now tons of information about facilities on the island.

There are two ways to visit Cuba; either by staying at one of the many all-inclusive resorts or as an independent traveler. The resorts are generally clustered along the north coast of the island to the east of Havana. There is some top class accommodation available and some great deals. The beaches are really phenomenal and the water is crystal clear so they are great for a beach style vacation. Despite the fact that Cuba is a communist country you will not want for anything. However the resorts do not give you much opportunity to really get to know the island and its unique way of life.


Travelling independently to Cuba is fairly easy and extremely interesting. There are some lovely hotels with great facilities or you can really get to meet the locals by staying in a family house called a casa particular. What started out as a clandestine practice of residents renting rooms to visitors has become regulated by the state so it is perfectly safe to use these houses. They vary is style and comfort from basic to really beautiful as most Cuban homes are filled with antique furniture. Food is available at state run restaurants or you can often make arrangements with the people you are staying with. There are also licensed private restaurants called paladares where you can get meals of a high standard.

The island of Cuba is amazingly varied and the vacation possibilities are many. There are great cities, small towns each with a different character, national parks, stunning Caribbean beaches and world class dive sites. There are some unique ecosystems and wildlife species such as the smallest bird in the world, the Bee Hummingbird.


The capital Havana is unlike any other capital in the world. Prepare to be amazed by the architecture, culture and the people. There is a lot to see in the city and some of the highlights include the Cigar Factory, the Museum of the Revolution, the Malecon and the old part of the city, Havana Vieja. Cuban music is appreciated all over the world and you will hear it everywhere. A night out at the capital inevitably incorporates rum, dancing, live music and some new Cuban friends.



Santiago is the second city situated at the opposite end of the island from the capital and very different from Havana. The culture is more African and this is the home of the Cuban carnival. It is packed out for carnival week so if you want to go make sure to get reservations in plenty of time.

Transport can be annoyingly slow in Cuba, however it is the slow pace of life which many visitors fall in love with. Drivers can hire cars to get around more easily. There are a number of companies in Havana and Santiago which provide cars of a very good standard. You could even hire one of the old American classics.

Cuba Vacations are full of sun, beaches, friendly people and fascinating experience you will not get anywhere else. Check out the details on the internet to see what you want to do in Cuba.

HAVANA, an invitation from a Cuban


It is one invitation to discover the most bright and radiant capital of the Americas.

 In a resemblance to the Paris and New York of today, the Havana of the fifties laughed at the most seen places of the United States of the after war. There were the latest fashionable bars, the most luxury hotels, and an exuberant challenging architecture, in the oldest commercial place of the Caribbean. 
What's left from all that? The history is turning in 180 degrees after a period of fifty years, changing into vestiges the luxury city from before. It's an adaptation or a transformation all about?

 Despite the abandoned monuments, the atmosphere is intact. Havana Connaisseur presents, on the backside of the contemporary history and through many forms of current activities, what conforms the face of the Havana of today. Both a melancholic and cheerfulness mixture appears combined with epicurean pleasures. The Well being style of the Caribbean.


Old Havana has many sights and sounds to captivate the inquisitive traveller. These include Plaza de Armas  (the oldest square in Havana and the site of the city’s foundation), El Templete (the oldest neo-classical building in Havana),  La Catedral San Cristobal de la Habana and the Museo de la Revolucion. However for most visitors who join us on our Havana city tour it is the excitement of  being part of the commotion of daily street-life is the number one highlight. So, put your walking shoes on and  soak up the atmosphere of this lively, excitable city.
