Cuba is an enchanting Caribbean vacation spot that is virtually undiscovered. The pristine white sand beaches and crystal blue waters are a vacationer’s delight. And, the snorkeling and scuba diving is second to none. Cuba has a vast amount of rich culture, spectacular sunsets and memorable experiences to offer the tourist.
Due to the fact that Cuba is a relative newcomer to the vacation marketplace, prices for all-inclusive packages are usually very reasonable. The resorts there offer all the same amenities you can expect at other places, including spectacular free-form swimming pools (many with swim-up bars), great service, white sand beaches, water sports, fishing, night clubs, local entertainment, arts and craft markets, and much more. Most resorts offer all-inclusive packages that include flights, meals, drinks and entertainment.
Cuba has more of a “family” vacation spot appeal and does not normally have the large crowds and exciting nightlife that many other vacation spots have to offer. On a Cuban vacation, you can expect more of a relaxing getaway, although most resorts still have nightclubs and disco’s and some night-time entertainment if you want it.
In the past, Cuban food has been identified as being typically bad, but a lot of improvement has been made in this area in recent years. Of course, some resorts have better food than others. There always seems to be, though, something on the menu or buffet to please most guests. Some resorts offer food as good as or better than other Caribbean Island vacation spots, and feature great seafood with lobster, crab, shrimp, and squid. Other resorts, though, offer more down-home Cuban cooking that is a little more on the casual side.
