ok for my B-day my uncle payed for my trip to go with him to CUBA for 1wwek in april or may .. i want april ..
so he told me to make the arrangments .. ive been looking everywhere online.. EVERYTHING looks the same lol
so do any of you have some insight to great places to go / stay etc.. in CUBA ? Would like to get as much actual person type info then just pics
and brochure talk lol before i decide if i go and when
Thanks for any help* :)
 
Varadero is nice if you want to get out of the city and stay near the beach.
 
if you want to go and sit in the sand and do nothing.. then cayo coco..is the place to go... Varadero is also quite nice too... 5 star resort is the way to go... have fun...on your trip...
 
Go to Havana, stay at the cohiba. Stay away from veredero. It sucks, you will be stuck on a shitty compound with bad food and ugly everything. In havana you have everything. great beaches 15mim cab ride to playa esta a deserted beach. At night you have all of Havana. Check out the havana libre at night, good club.
 
Thanks for all the input

see im looking for beaches,, nightlife (BIGTIME)
all the fun stuff .....(Huge Grin) LOL

some told me there is a great art gallery there to ,
ummm cant remember where it is :confused:

I have stayed in Varadaro two times and both were @ Sandals. Great food / drinks / beach / service and clean rooms. There is some night life but it is not Cancun. Varadaro is close enough to Havana ...1 1/2 hour cab ride. I would not do a set up tour to Havana ...just rent a cab for the day, maybe with some other people ...cheap and it is your shedule. If you stay in Varadaro ....rent a scooter for the day and head into town ...fun and good to see how the Cubians live day to day. Also, take lots of bathroom staples ...tooth brushes and tooth paste etc. to give away to the locals ...that stuff costs them a lot down there. Have fun ...I really enjoy Cuba.

If you want beaches, nightlife and Smerfs you definately want CHEEKTOWAGA, NY. Where else can you go for BINGO at every intersection? Great food and Polkas.
 
5 star resort would be nice, don’t go lower then 4. Not much night life in Cuba. Have stayed 4 times at Sol Luna resort in Holguin. Beautiful clean white sand beach, not too busy with locals. The beaches are not as nice/clean at the resorts located in town. There is a disco on the resort, and one in town, 10 minute, $6 cab ride away. Rio de Oro is 5 star, very nice, but think the vacationers would be older at the more expensive resorts.

Staff asking for tips can be an annoyance, seems especially for ladies. At this resort the staff is not allowed to ask for tips. Check reviews on this issue.

Staying in Havana would be nice if you are looking for more city life. There is nothing much in Holguin unless you like touring the countryside, or can travel to one of the cities one hour away.

The smaller resorts might be better in April, 300 rooms or so. Checked out one of the bigger resorts, 900 rooms, and it looked really vacant.
 
I don't want to hijack the thread but your better off going to Cancun for nightlife then Cuba (For just a little more money.)
 
Well, from what I've heard you can pick up chicas and take them back to your room for like $100.00 a night......lbut you can't stay at a resort you have to go to the regular hotels......:rolleyes:

I've been to Cuba a bunch of times over the years - Varadero, Cayo Coco and Holguin. So far, the best place to go was Playa Pesquero in Holguin. The resort was amazing..huge, gigantic free form pool, huge beach areas and the food was surprisingly good for Cuba! It's a bigger resort (900 rooms or so) but it was pretty full as it seems to be one of the more popular places to go. The only downfall is the nightlife, for some of that, you definately need to check out Cancun!

PM me if you want more info.
