Cuba Beaches with white, grey, black and golden sand contrast with blue or aqua-green seas; the calm water near a mountain peak hides the inner beauty of its seabed. Some of its coasts are on the Caribbean; others, on the Atlantic. In both cases, its shores tempt you to give yourself over to the sensual, magical movement of the waves.

There is an average of 330 sunny days a year, with few clouds. The main tourist resorts (including the ones on the cays) have international airports, and the excellent hotel infrastructure is complemented with a wide range of extra hotel facilities (car and bus rentals, marinas, scuba-diving centers, shops, beauty parlors, fitness centers, etc.), entertainment during the day and at night, excursions to nearby cities, medical attention, and special family and honeymoon Cuba holiday packages.

Lands of legends and myths, thousands of tiny islands enclose a fascinating mini-world in which the conditions have been created for having a daring adventure. Cuba has several marinas or sports ports that offer all of the services you need for having a delightful stay.

The high degree of conservation of its coral formations and beaches attests to its cleanliness. It has a gentle subtropical climate, the product of warm water cooled by The trade winds, so temperatures range between 75.2 and 84.2 F. (24 and 29 C.).

There are places-anonymous as yet or little known-virgin beaches which are not the exception but rather the rule. Large or small, they are waiting to be discovered on the Guanahacabibes Peninsula, a preserve of the biosphere; the coasts in the center and eastern parts of the country; and in tranquil Baracoa, at the eastern extreme of the island. You can enjoy them to the full in complete safety. There’s nothing quite like walking along a beach for hours with nothing to disturb you.

In 1985, the French oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau’s crew was very impressed by Cuba’s seabed-most of all, by their exploration of the Cristobal Colon, a Spanish ship which was sunk during the naval battle that was fought just off Santiago de Cuba in i8g8. According to the divers, who have worked all over the world, few other places are as well preserved or have such a wealth of marine life. His colleagues waxed so enthusiastic that Cousteau, then 75, decided to put on an aqualung and see for himself. He wasn’t disappointed.

Scientific studies estimate that there are over 500 species of fish; 200 different kinds of sponges (cup, tube and branch); around 60 kinds of coral; and a large sample of mollusks, crustaceans, gorgonians, algae and Common Sea Fans (Gorgonia spp.) in Cuban waters.

Cuba undoubtedly is one of the most stunning tourist destinations in the World. Add the irrefutable fact of a super rich culture and you have the perfect formula for an unforgettable holiday.

Viales Valley is one of the most known and attractive areas of Cuba among holiday makers. It offers an outstanding panorama featured by the mixtures of spectacular natural beauty, the preservation of the environment, the harmonic man’s action in the fruit growing, fundamentally the tobacco industry, whose traditional growing and production methods earned an international recognition as one of the best quality in the world. This place allows the visitors to give free rein to their imagination.

There are many attractions in Viales Valley but today I would like to write about La Cueva del Indio. This is a immense cave, located under sea level, is visited in two stages: the first part of the visit is done by foot along its narrow passages and halls and the second part is by boat, a ride that will take you to the other end of the cave.

The shapes of its stalactites and stalagmites amaze the observer. Right at the entrance of the cave you will be able to see some of our endemic species like The Polymita Picta (a sort of snail with a very colorful shell).

In the boat part of the excursion, an expert driver takes you along the stream and shows you all these amazing protruding formations, some of them with very strange shapes that look like a crocodile, a snake and even a witch. I am sure you will also discover your own shapes. It is a very tranquil ride as the steam of the watercourse is very calm which permit you to get pleasure from the beauty within this cave.

The waterway inside the cavern is accessible for the ride for about 500 meters. Even though the river is a lot longer, for your own protection is not navigable along its total path. The entire grotto has not being entirely explored since there are some parts that are completely sank under water.

The mass of water is amazing but you got even more amazed when the trip finishes: with all the water that you have seen inside, it is crazy to see that everything ends in a waterfall as high as a half a meter! For a moment you think that you and the boat will crash, but it is an experience worth living. After the fright, you will want to enjoy the trip again, this time knowing all what will happen.

If you are going to Cuba or you have bought a holiday package already, make sure to visit this amazing location. You can visit the cave from Viales itself but if you are not staying in the area do not worry. You can still visit Viales on a day excursion from Havana. They depart every day and they will all include the visit to this cave. I will leave you know but not without wishing you first an unforgettable experience in Cuba.

Before you decide to go to Cuba make sure you check some few options on cheap Cuba holidays.

I would like to introduce you in this article to what in my modest opinion represent the best hotels in Havana. Please complement this information with reviews in trip advisor before you decide which hotel to go for in Havana.

Santa Isabel Hotel

Santa Isabel offers cosy rooms that are decorated in luxurious colonial style. It is here where John Paul II stayed in 1998 when he visited Havana. This Colonial Palace is located only few steps from Havana’s Cathedral and it is just next to where Havana was founded almost 400 years ego.

Saratoga Hotel

This hotel was constructed in the early 1930’s and was immediately well known for its excellent cuisine. Its Open-air pedestrian arcades are a pleasure to walk through. This 5 star hotel enjoys an excellent location in the very heart of the Old Town. Its roof top swimming pool is one of the best spots to contemplate Havana’s reach architecture.

NH Parque Central

This 5 star hotel is located in the centre of the old colonial Havana, surrounded by numerous famous buildings, like the Capitol, the “Teatro Garcia Lorca” and the Museum for Modern Arts.

In this article I would like to give my point of view about these package holidays to Cuba that are sold by big tour operators at a very good price. Cuba has a great appeal as a tourist destination for holiday seekers and one of its main attributes is its beaches.

In order to be more specific lets take a look at Guardalavaca area, this paradise of turquoise color beaches and white sand is a favorite among vacationers and has an international airport about 40 minutes by couch located in the province of Holguin.

In this beach area you can get pure leisure and lodging standards that array from 3 to 5 star quality properties. There are only 3 hotels in the area so you will in no way feel compacted by the multitude of beach lovers that can be found on any popular beach location around the Globe. If you are traveling with your children Cayo Santa Maria presents the opportunity of accepting kids but if you are looking for a property for adults only this location can also go well with your demands.

Accommodation in Guardalavaca is based in all inclusive plans so there is no need to worry about where to go and eat as all meals will be provided in your hotel. If anything you will only have to chose from either the buffet restaurant or any of the a la carte restaurant that offer exquisite menus. The hotels offer also outstanding spectacles equal in quality to any of the most important Cabarets in Cuba. All sorts of non motorized water sports are available and included in the room prices.

Lots of table games, archery, salsa and Spanish lessons and water sports that do not require fuel are included within the price you paid for you package holiday. You will not be required to spend a penny while staying in your hotel. All of them have one buffet restaurant and at least 2 or 3 a la carte restaurants. These last ones will require a reservation made from the reception of the hotels everyday from 7 to 12 AM.

But it is a real shame if you take such a long flight top visit Cuba and end up only staying on a beach resort. Cuba is a mystic, romantic destination with lots of other attributes other than beautiful beaches. I strongly recommend you visit Havana the Capital of Cuba. Now in this case it is a lot better to contact one of the specialists in holidays to Cuba.

If you are looking to combine in your holidays beaches, history, culture and impressive architecture then get in touch with any of the smaller tour operators. They have very good contracts with all the service providers in Cuba and can put together whichever itinerary within the island you have in mind.

If you are not lucky and find one of this specialists or you are simply tempted by the very cheap prices of the big tour operators that only do beach holidays, I still recommend you take an excursion from your hotel to visit Havana or any other important city. At the end of the day you can not say you have been to Cuba if you only stayed on a huge all inclusive resort by the beach which could be anywhere in the world.
