Cuban destinations

Paradise…with a history.
Cuba. The name conjures up a unique tropical wonderland with a rich historical past. True to its reputation, Cuba offers white beaches and azure waters. Quaint pastel coloured homes and grand colonial cathedrals. Where else can you find fleets of mint-condition, 50’s Chevies, roaring down archaic cobbled streets? Or genuine, hand-rolled Cuban cigars that set the global smoke standard? The island’s greatest allure, is its people, with their welcome smiles and winning manners. You will find Cubans in the bustling open markets and restaurants, performing street musicians outside dazzling cafés and cabarets, and gyrating in colourfully-plumed dance costumes inside inky nightclubs. Needless to say, Havana is an absolute must-see with its multi-faceted art, culture and architecture that dates back to the early 1500’s. Whatever you do, you’ll discover that Cuba dazzles the senses with its endless offerings.
 
 
 
Cuban destinations
 
Camaguey/Santa Lucia
Santa Lucia Beach, on the northern coast is protected by a coral reef, making the waters calm and ideal for swimming, snorkeling and other water activities. It is a diver’s paradise with 35 dive sites.
Cayo Coco
Cayo Coco is an island, 17 km in length. It’s all environmentally protected - home to the largest colony of pink flamingos in the world. A coral reef offers wonderful opportunities for snorkelers and scuba divers in its exceptionally clear waters.
Cayo Largo
 
Cienfuegos
Known as “The Pearl of the South” on the southern coast of central Cuba, this city boasts a history largely different from the rest of the country. It’s popular with Canadians because of its beautiful beaches and excellent scuba diving.
Havana
The largest city and capital of Cuba, Havana offers a glimpse into the past. Many of the Colonial Spanish buildings in Havana have undergone restoration, and in Old Havana the cobbled squares and colonnades reflect the city's ancient heritage.
Holguin
Wide, soft beaches and azure waters line the coast of Guardalavaca; a stunning resort area in the province of Holguin. Guardalavaca is the 2nd largest tourist area in Cuba.
Manzanillo de Cuba
 
Santiago de Cuba
One of the island’s oldest cities, it is a captivating mixture of colonial architecture, live music, colourful markets and open-air cafés. All bounded by the shimmering Caribbean and the majestic cliffs of the Sierra Maestra and Sierra del Cristal mountains.
Varadero
Varadero is located on 20 km of white powdery sand that makes up the Peninsula de Hicacos; a beach so large that it’s still uncrowded despite the number of large resorts and variety of water sports. For a refreshing afternoon, stop at an open-air café with live music and sip a "mojito" a drink made famous by Hemingway.

Resort Check-in Information
 Please have your Sunwing hotel voucher ready for check-in at the hotel's reception. Based upon your arrival and check-in time, it is possible that your room may not be ready. Pack your bathing suit, shorts and sunscreen in your carry-on so that you can enjoy the facilities until your room is available.
 
 Welcome Briefing
 Our welcome briefing provides valuable information on Cuba, your hotel services, money exchange, shopping, and excursions. We will also inform you about the departure procedure and answer any questions you may have. Make sure to attend yours.
 
 Help in Destination
 Your friendly Sunwing destination representative is available in Cuba should you require assistance. Please check the Sunwing Vacations information boards or binders located in your hotel for a schedule of when your Sunwing destination representative is available.
 
 Drinking Water
 It is recommended that you drink bottled water while in Cuba. Most hotels offer bottled water in your hotel room and can also be purchased in the hotel's shop and in grocery stores. The ice and drinking water served in the hotels are generally made from purified water.
 
 Long Distance Calls
 Long distance telephone charges in Cuba can be quite expensive. It is recommended to make a collect call or use your calling card. Service charges may apply when calling from your hotel room.
 
 Safety Deposit Boxes
 Please use your safety deposit box for all your valuables, cash and travel documents. Some hotels in Cuba provide safety deposit boxes free of charge while others may require a nominal fee. You will be required to pay a penalty fee if you lose the key.
 
 Resort Safety
 Traveling to foreign destinations can be very exhilarating. Tourists must be aware that potential problems and risks to your personal safety could exist anywhere. Please use the same personal safety precautions and common sense on your vacation that you would at home e.g. apply sunscreen frequently, do not swim alone and do not display cash. Avoid venturing out alone and beware of dark or isolated areas.
 
 Taxes and Tipping
 Generally, taxes are automatically added to purchases. The tipping percentage is similar to that at home. If you receive good service, please express your gratitude and offer a tip.
 
 Your Flight Home
 Please check the Sunwing Vacations information boards or binders located in your hotel to reconfirm your flight from Cuba and its departure time. As a friendly reminder, make sure that you have packed your flight documents, medication, or any articles that you must have with you at all times in your carry-on luggage. Seat selection is on a first come, first serve basis at the airport, unless previously booked and paid for prior to your departure.
