Cuba holidays

Cheap holidays to Cuba

All inclusive holidays in Cuba represent immense value and a totally different Caribbean experience; the people are friendly, the hotels and restaurants welcoming and the 3,500 miles of beaches are totally unspoilt. We at The Co-operative Travel have cheap holidays to several of Cuba’s most popular resorts.

Eco-friendly family holidays in Cuba

For the environmentally aware, Cuba is an eye-opener. In the 1990s, it was in danger of becoming overdeveloped. The government’s answer was to place huge swathes of land under environmental protection, and restrict development at coastal resorts.
 
The result is that people taking all inclusive holidays at resorts like Guardalavaca and Havana have the opportunity to see natural, untamed beauty in the raw. Kids and adults alike will thrill to the wildlife of the Cuchillas de Toa and Península de Zapata Biosphere Reserves, or the reefs of the Punta Frances marine park.

America’s trade embargo has left Cuba almost entirely self-sufficient – and very poor. It’s best to book all inclusive holidays with meals included, as good restaurants are few and far between. The food you are served will be fresh, local and organic – even the beef for the burgers is locally reared.

Where to book cheap holidays in Cuba

Booking package holidays in Havana makes you feel like you’re living in a Hemingway novel. Kids will thrill to the old American cars, while the Spanish colonial architecture hides many treasures.
 
Havana’s fortresses, plazas and churches make it an excellent destination for couples, but kids will enjoy it too – live salsa music is for everyone.
 
A walk along the Malecon brings you to white, sandy beaches, while a drive through the Cuchillas de Baracoa mountains brings you to picturesque, isolated Baracoa – last foothold of the indigenous Cuban people.

Cayo Coco and Guardalavaca

The island of Cayo Coco is famed for its all inclusive holidays and water sports. 14 miles of beaches make it ideal for cheap family holidays, and off-season you’ll have the beaches – and the 30,000-strong flamingo population – to yourself. Here you can go snorkelling, reef diving, deep sea fishing and swimming with the dolphins. Add to all this El Bago Nature Park, and you can see why it’s a magnet for families.

Guardalavaca is known for its crystal white sands, archaeological sites and laid-back luxury. Scuba diving, sailing, dolphin swimming and a fine selection of restaurants take the phrase “package holidays” to a whole new level.

Whatever kind of Cuban experience you seek, we at The Co-operative Travel have the range of holidays to help you find it.
