A visit to Havana is simply unforgettable. Standing in the streets you will feel as though you’re walking through a film set, transported back over 60 years to a city rich in important history. The crumbling yet magnificent buildings are mixed amongst bustling streets littered with glorious 1950’s American cars and where care-free Habaneros play dominos in the streets and gather to swap banter about their favourite baseball team. Time has stood still in Havana and this is a quality which makes Cuba probably the most inspiring and unique place in the world. You can sense the care-free nature of the locals as soon as you arrive, they have little to speak of in material possession yet they are rich in culture, warmth, friendliness and passion not forgetting their love of music and dance! Their sociable natures make they some of the loveliest people you are ever likely to meet. Wherever you walk, the streets are filled with Afro-Cuban, Son, Reggaeton and Salsa music spilling from the bars, cafes and private homes. You will find yourself quickly falling in love with the Cuban way of life. Simply put, there is nowhere else in the world like Havana! It will find a way into your heart and soul that just won't let go! =============================== 💙OUR HOTELS All of our group will stay together at the luxurious Iberostar Hotel Tainos in Varadero which is all inclusive. In Havana you have the choice of either the elegant 4 star Hotel Sevilla which is steeped in important history and boasts a large swimming pool and relaxation area OR you can opt for an independent casa (or stay with a local family) and experience the more local feel to Havana! Whatever accommodation option your choose we will be there to help you all the way! VARADERO, IBEROSTAR TAINOS, 4-Star. ALL INCLUSIVE The Iberostar Tainos is a Caribbean paradise. Located on the beautiful white-powder beach of Varadero. This is a traditional Caribbean style hotel with low rise buildings and bungalows stretching down to the beach and surrounded by tropical gardens. It has plenty of free leisure activities and water sports on offer and exquisite gastronomy that offers the best of Cuban and international cuisine. This 4 star, All Inclusive hotel will definitely impress! 💙HAVANA: 4 STAR HOTEL SEVILLA, B&B Located right in the heart of Old Havana off the Paseo del Prado, the colonial elegance of this hotel never fails to impress. With a rich and diverse history, once being owned by the Italian Mafia and frequented by the likes of Al Capone the colourful past can be felt throughout this hotel with beautiful décor and traditional high-ceiling and elegantly furnished rooms. The atmosphere in this hotel is definitely worth getting a mojito and having a dance with the resident band that plays. It is also lucky to have the largest pool in Havana – perfect when your feet are tired from all that dancing! Located across the road from the famous Ballet school each morning you will be treated 💙CASA PARTICULARES This is a budget option is for those who would prefer to book their own accommodation in Havana and avoid the cost of staying in a hotel. In Cuba it is popular for local families to rent a spare room to tourists or you can rent an independent apartment all to yourself. There are many available within a short walking distance of the Hotel Parque Central (where our group will be located). This option is considerably cheaper than staying in a hotel. You will appreciate how locals live and while you will not have the thrills or luxuries of a hotel this can be a fantastic way to get to know Cuba better and your host will be there for anything you need.
