Cuba holiday guide and weather forecast
Cuba's main holiday beach resort area is situated on a 12-mile peninsula on the north west coast of the island ninety minutes' drive from Havana.
Cuba can portray itself as the archetypal image of a Caribbean island with its sandy, palm-fringed shores washed by crystal-clear waters and cooled by breezes carrying the scent of frangipani, mango and guava.

 But Cuba has so much more to offer those who venture away from her beaches; to the towns and cities boasting Spanish colonial architecture and grand plazas, where classic automobiles labour along streets and country roads, and the hip-swaying sounds of salsa music fill the night air.
Together with cigar smoke and rum cocktails, baseball, and everywhere visual references of the 1959 revolution, these picture-postcard portraits of Cuba encompass a more complete illustration of the largest island in the Caribbean.
 Christopher Columbus discovered Cuba on his way back to Spain after his second voyage to the New World in 1492 and was the first European to remark on its beauty. Today, despite continued US sanctions, the island state is starting to exploit its glorious attractions and offers visitors an alternative Caribbean holiday.
Cuba is so large that it allegedly confused Columbus, who thought he had discovered a continent and not an island. It sits at the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico; the main island is 746 miles (1,200km) long with an irregular coastline that offers hundreds of bays and beaches.
The years of political isolation have protected Cuba from mass tourism; the main towns and villages retain a crumbling colonial charm and are generally devoid of resorts that blight some of its neighbouring islands.
With its history and great choice of natural attractions Cuba has much to offer. But most visitors agree that Cuba is a country so individual and extraordinary, that to be truly understood and appreciated it has to be experienced in person.
Boasting perfect white beaches surrounded by rolling hills and featuring Cuba's largest viaduct on its border with Havana province.
Note that buying petrol may be difficult if you plan to rent a car, taxis are the most common way of getting around. Be sure to bring all neccessary toiletries with you. Avoid the Aug-Nov hurricane season.
Food: Food is often expensive from the hotels and tourist restaurants and can be patchy. There are few restaurants visited by locals in the area, however the All inclusive options at the hotels is very good, go for it!
Nightlife: Hotels within the resort provide plenty of entertainment, mainly cabarets. If you want something more Latin than most discos provide, try the Kawama Hotel. For a tropicana-style cabaret head for the open-air Caballito de Coral.
Shopping: There aren't many authentic Cuban shops around, and they may not have any stock anyway. Calle 64 has hard-currency shops; Kawama Sports, for instance, is good for sporting equipment. You may find some Cuban crafts, such as hand-made lace.
Days out: Havana is a worthwhile day trip from Varadero, especially if you pass the incredible viaduct on its border. Cueva de Ambrosio are caves hosting the most important aboriginal drawings on the mainland. Matanzas City, a relaxed Havana, is wonderful |
