Group of 6 all inclusive cuba resort sugestions...? |
Travel Info hello! ok me and 5 of my friends (6 in total) are heading to cuba in april. we're looking for an all inclusive resort in havana that has a big enough suite/room for all of us... i was hoping someone out there has been to cuba and has some sugestions... thanx a bunch Travel Tips Don't know your price range but assume you're talking about Spring Break. Most of the hotels in Havana only include breakfast. Hotel prices range from moderate to expensive. The Inglaterra in Old Havana goes for about $40 per person per night for a triple. Plaza Hotel in Old Havana is slightly more upscale and similar in price. Both are nice hotels but neither have swimming pools. Hotel Capri and Riviera are similarly priced and on the Malecon Promenade. Both a bit tired. The Nacional is the elegant old classic overlooking the Malecon that re-opened about ten years ago. About $65 pp a night for a triple. Terrific surroundings and close to the restaurants and bars. Havana Libre is in the same area, slightly more tired. Melia Cohiba is on the Rampa, close to the Nacional, like a Hyatt Regency, very upscale with bars and restaurants. They host a lot of conventions. Very elegant. Nice place to hang out. They have a showroom and disco. Showroom has a seaplane hanging from the ceiling and a couple of classic cars in the bar. Triple runs about $70 a night pp. Don't stay at the Kholy Bosque. It's one of the cheapest but you get what you pay for. There are plenty of inexpensive restaurants in Old Havana in the streets off the Cathedral Square. El Patio is always busy as it is a good place to people-watch. Food is okay but nothing exceptional. Nice place to have a drink. Chinatown is pretty good too and not expensive but you'll never find it on foot. You'll have to take a taxi. A lot of small restaurants that won't break the budget. The restaurants that I go to with my Cuban friends? El Aljibe in Miramar, holds about 200 people, always packed, a flat fee of $12 for chicken, rice, beans and salad. Novelty is that once you finish you can order the same meal again and it's all included in the original $12. If you take a Cuban girl there she'll bring a plastic bag with her to take the second meal home to her mother. Flor de Loto (Lotus Flower) is a great Chinese restaurant that serves the most wonderful seafood for under $10. Always packed and you will have to make a reservation but the food is worth it. La Mina in Old Havana has wonderful surroundings with tables in the plaza, two indoor rooms and a courtyard inside with strolling peacocks. I've hosted seven people there for $130 and the food was very good. They also have a small band. El Bodequita del Medio is a tourist trap. Okay for a drink if you're a sardine. Food is nothing out of the ordinary. Floridita used to be Hemingway's old hangout but it's all mirrors and red tuxedoes now and looks like an upscale gay bar. Food is dreadful. If you're planning on flying to Cuba through Nassau, which is the best way to go, return fare is around $240. Package deals can be purchased from Havanatur (Tel: 242-393-5282.) Be aware of US restrictions on travel to Cuba. Cuban visas are supplied in Nassau and nothing is stamped in your passport. Have you thought about going to Varedero instead of Havana? It has the beaches, the bars and is much more tourist oriented. Also a lot more expensive I must add. About three hours from Havana. Others in veradero beach the melia hotel Contact your local travel agent. They have winter book spring travel deals. As a matter of fact I know of 3 deals for Cuba. http://www.intriguedtravel.com |
