The Caribbean island of Cuba is a popular destination for travelers looking to experience a unique and vibrant culture, stunning scenery, and a wealth of outdoor activities. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach getaway or an exciting adventure, Cuba is a great destination for a spring or summer vacation. Here are some tips for booking trips to Cuba in the spring and summer.

  1. Understand the Travel Restrictions: Before booking a trip to Cuba, it’s important to understand the travel restrictions that are currently in place. Travelers from the United States must have a valid passport, a valid visa, and a valid Cuban visa. This is something I explain in detail when you book a trip with me.
  2. Research The Best Time to Go: Winter and Spring are the busiest tourist seasons in Cuba, with temperatures ranging from the high 70s to the low 80s and plenty of sunshine. Travelers should consider booking their trip in the shoulder seasons (April-May or September-October) to experience fewer crowds.
  3. Choose the Right Accommodations: Cuba offers a variety of accommodation options, ranging from luxury resorts to more budget-friendly homestays. Depending on your budget and travel preferences. I am here to help make your trip unique to your tastes.

Now booking for spring and summer!

Now that Cuba is open to guests there is nothing stopping you from enjoying the good taste of Havana and beyond. The airline industry has added daily flights from the USA to Havana and the price has come down to a normal range. The costs of goods and services have gone up in Cuba just as they have in America so it isn’t as cheap as it was a few years ago, but still very inexpensive compared to other Caribbean destinations. To enter the country with no quarantine you will need a negative PCR test 72 hours before travel and a vaccination card. You will also need a negative PCR test to return back to America (per USA rules) and I will assist in getting that taken care of. #travel #caribbean #cuba #cubanfood

Now largely vaccinated, Cubans prepare to welcome visitors

Now that Cuba is opening back up we will be starting tours back. Currently plane tickets are very expensive, but the price starts to go down starting in February. As demand increases the price will go down. As for Cuba, it is not the same as it was a couple years ago. Expect to experience shortages on goods in the market like bottled water. I recommend bringing a lifestraw bottle so you can just drink the tap water. The country now has one currency instead of 2. The CUP is around 25/1 with the dollar. I recommend exchanging in euros. We will talk about the exchange rate more when you book with me. You must present proof of vaccination to enter the island or a negative PCR test. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

Trump Administration orders Marriot to cease cuban operations.

While this is definitely a blow to Cuban/American business relations, it doesn’t affect our tours. Our clients stay in apartments and houses owned by Cuban families.

Booking Hotels and Logistics of Visiting Cuba

Because of the Trump administration’s policy banning American support of military-funded establishments, paired with hurricanes that ravaged the island in 2017, booking a hotel room can be a challenge.

According to officials from the Trump administration, these new restrictions in Cuba were not meant to stop tourism of the country but to “direct money and economic activity away from the Cuban military and security services” and toward businesses owned by Cuban citizens.

Essentially, these new laws hope to encourage visitors to eat at local restaurants, stay in local hotels (or private homes), and buy from local businesses—just make sure you never go to any restricted businesses or you could be fined or arrested upon return to the United States.

While Trump has discouraged travel to Cuba with these new restrictions, it’s still possible to go and enjoy the rich culture of this island. However, since relations between the United States and Cuba are suffering under the Trump administration, be well prepared before you go. Be sure to bring enough cash for your entire trip as accessing American funds in Cuba—as well as exchanging them to the Cuban peso—is rather difficult.

Here at Buen Sabor Tours we take all the guess work out for you. We will book your stay in a Casa Particular (b&b style room) as well as have a full itinerary to stay compliant. LET’S GO TO CUBA!
