The current Cuban government, previously led by Fidel Castro, is considered in the natural world as “authoritarian”. Socialism has controlled the country for over 50 years and certainly has taken their toll on the economy and much more.

✈ Frank Pais International Airport is conveniently located as that of Veradero for vacationers.
Stunning Beaches
Located a short distance from the City is a lovely stretch of beach complete with coral reefs located right offshore.
A snorkeler’s delight! 🤿
It’s called Guardalavaca Beach, known for excellent swimming in crystal clear water and beautiful soft sand on shore. Explore amazing coral reefs which are easily accessible for most anyone right offshore.
What more could you ask for! 😀
There are just a handful of resorts in the area to choose from, for your all inclusive resort vacation. This is why I personally selected Holquin, because of the area being smaller, quieter and the coral reefs offshore for snorkeling.
We were not disappointed!
Note:
It tends to be 🌬 windy and cooler in January at times, which we did in fact experience for several days. Although it was sunny and clear skies the entire time, the wind did prevent us from enjoying water sports on many occasions.
One can never predict the weather, but I was forewarned by friends and they were right!
I have included just a taste of two of the wonderful beach resort areas in Cuba for you to think about.
Take A Cuba Cigar Factory Tour
I am sure when most of us think of Cuba, we think of those Cuban Cigars that everyone rants and raves about worldwide. It really is a unique experience for the whole family to include a trip to a Cigar Factory.
It’s amazing to watch people sitting for hours on end, hand rolling fine Cigars for the world to enjoy.
No machines, no robots, no high tech factories one would expect in the natural world. Just happy people of all ages, sitting at their little desks rolling tobacco with fine precision, into world re-known hand crafted Cuban Cigars.
Cigars can be purchased on site and at very reasonable prices one would never expect.
