Our preferred accommodation option We have been getting quite a number of comments and queries around all inclusive hotel packages, so I wanted to share this video with you this week in case you missed it on Social Media. At Simply Cuba we want to give you a truly authentic Cuban experience. As such we do not stay at hotels or provide all inclusive hotel packages. We stay with the local people and enjoy their hospitality. This also means that you get an insight to their lives, the community, the entertainment. You get to really see what Cuba is about... Not from a place that most Cubans dream about (hotels) but actually from their angle. We find that it gives a much more fun experience. It can be truly eye opening. In saying that you must know that there are casas for locals and there are casas for tourists. The differences are to do with prices, currencies used (at this stage anyway) and of course the comforts offered. Even within the ones available to 'Westerners', there are differences. We made our standard rooms the highest standard you can get i.e. with aircon, nice mattress and the like. Some may call it premium, but we want to ensure you are as comfortable as you can be on your stay. What's on the blog this week? We also had many divers interested in tours. And we have good news!!! Whilst there is not a diving tour on offer, we have just had a new guide join our team who has his diving ticket and loves diving. So he is putting together his dream dive tour to take all our keen drivers on. The best thing is, the group will be limited to 4 people, so you can jump in to his 1960s Ford with a massive boot to take you on a trip of a life time! So watch this space, and in the mean time check out the 5 best Scuba diving spots in Cuba! |
