Havana All Inclusive Resorts

The Jewel of the Caribbean

Why Havana All Inclusive Resorts? Havana is the Caribbean’s equivalent to New York mixed with Paris and moved to paradise. The exhilaration of the surroundings and the pace of life in this incredible city are exhausting. One trip to Havana All Inclusive Resorts will create memories that last a life-time. If you’re looking for excitement and the true feeling of Cuban life, culture and music then you have to take a trip to La Habana at least once in your life.

There is no place on Earth quite like Havana, the most vibrant city in Latin America. The Spanish originally used the city as a rest-stop en route to their conquests of the New World. The shape of the city’s harbor created a safe haven and offered perfect protection from foreign ships. The Spanish then fell in love with the city, creating a permanent Spanish settlement. Walls were built around the city and enormous fortresses at the entrance to the bay. The port-city of La Havana became a symbol of Spanish strength in America.

Walking through Havana is like walking through a museum of hundreds of years of Spanish and Caribbean history and political idealism. What the rest of the world sees as a failing socialist/communist dream is not so apparent in Havana. The magic of the city, the feeling of safety you feel as a tourist and the warmth of the Havana residents will have you momentarily rethinking your ideals.

Getting There

Havana is probably the most accessible of Caribbean vacations – you’ll be at one of our Havana All Inclusive Resorts before you know it.

Jose Marti International Airport (HAV) is a modern facility that receives daily international flights from all over Europe and Canada as well as several direct charter flights from Canadian departure points. There are several things you’ll notice upon arrival. The first is the staggering number of people (in military uniform) working at the airport. Hey, this is a socialist state – the government employs a lot of people. The second is just how helpful everyone is once you clear customs. People will ask you where you’re going, who your tour operator is and point you in the right direction. Within a few minutes of arrival you’ll be chanting VIVA CUBA!

Havana Resorts

Our Havana All Inclusive Resorts are all located within a short taxi ride from the airport, making day-trips into the city very easy. Usually travelers are happy just to have beautiful white sand beaches with the beautiful Caribbean waters as a backdrop. Throwing in the accessibility to the culture and nightlife of one of the world’s most historic cosmopolitan cities is an undreamed of perk!

Old Havana

No trip to Cuba is complete without visiting La Habana Vieja. The old part of the city was declared a World Heritage site and has been beautifully preserved and restored. Visitors will discover architecture taking them on a tour that takes them back in time over 500 years.

Visit El Template that served its first mass in 1519 - walk through forts, cathedrals and palaces where icons of Cuban history and folklore have stood before. Walk out to the cannon turrets of the fortress which has possibly the best view in the Caribbean.

La Habana Vieja is beyond description, make sure you stop in during your trip to one of our Havana All Inclusive Resorts.

Cigars

Perhaps Cuba’s most famous export are its “Cubans”. Trying one of the best cigars in the world is part and parcel of a trip to Havana All Inclusive Resorts. If you take a trip into the city center, you can tour the Partagas Tobacco factory where over two hundred cigar rollers produce over six million cigars a year. Even if you don’t smoke, try a Cuban once– there is nothing that compares.

The Music

An old musician on the streets of Havana told me a Cuban proverb: “Anywhere in Cuba, you can close your eyes - throw a stone and you are guaranteed to hit either an artist, an athlete or a musician.” As I spent more and more time in the country I found this proverb to be indisputably true!

One thing that the Communist system does well is focus on the Arts. Nowhere in the world can you find the number and quality of musicians that you’ll find in Havana. The bands hired at your Havana All Inclusive Resorts will astound you – a trip to a Havana jazz club will blow your mind. Cuban jazz has its own distinct feel and flavor and is the envy of every jazz musician the World over.

I guarantee that by the time you leave, there will be at least a dozen tunes that you’ll never get out of your head. I strongly suggest that you go out and buy a “Bueno Vista Social Club” album before your trip – the pinnacle of great Cuban music.
