HI.
Me and my girlfriend want to go cuba for the 1st time in jan or feb next year but cant decide where the best place for couples to go with abit of activity also what is the weather like in jan and feb. |

Hi Steve. For couple recomended to go to Breezes hotels in Varadero or Jibacoa, they are specialist in couples holidays, but if you want to have more activities , you can stay in Havana at any hotels in Old Havana (Habaguanex chain hotels) of nH-Parque Central hotel, and also combine with Varadero , recomend Melia chain hotels or Barcelo.
January and February months will be winter for us(cubans) normally is like summer for European, will be 25 degress, but of course some days will be down the temperature like 20 degress or maybe less and some rains.
You can try to check prices etc, at web site www.cubaism.com/hotels/ they can help you in anything. |

Hello,
Jan/Feb is (in my view) the best time to go with bearable temperatures, low humidity, no rain.
However, if it is a beach holiday you are after, and especially if you are going to the north of the island (Habana, Varadero) you may find it too cool.
I'd recommend Cuba for safe explorations and sightseeing. On a first visit, maybe you want to explore the capital Habana and also the second largest city in the south (Santiago de Cuba). That would give you an insight into the two cultural poles and historic influences that have shaped the country and its people.
You can fly from one to the other, use the reliable and air-conditioned tourist bus (Viazul) to get from one end of the island to the other, or even drive yourself.
Accomodation is available either in hotels or in private accomodation, staying with licensed Cuban families who rent out rooms.
Read-up on it in books like 'Lonely Planet', this website gives you details of some of the hotels in Cuba and check out specialised travel agents for advice.
If it is a beach holiday you are after, I can't comment as even after 15 years of travelling to Cuba, I still find things to explore and haven't yet ended up on any of the famous beaches.

hi guys ....if your after a decent beach holiday i would recommend guardalavaca......esmerlda beach is the best in the world....being a seasoned traveller for both work and pleasure ...ive yet to find a better beach anywhere in the world.....
i stayed at the sol lunar mares hotel and have the time of my life....i did the havana trip thru the hotel and its a trip you really dont want to miss ...it includes a stay in a 5 star hotel plus the tropicana caberet show as well as touring old and new havana with lunch included on all the 3 days ...
hopes this helps at bit ...the weather was well into the 80 degrees and the cuban people will welcome you with open arms ....
just one tip for you.....take things such as small toiletries...nail varnish...sanitary towel /tampons...small toys ..pens ..pencil...writing paper...little gifts for your hotel maid and staff...they alays go down well and will ensure you get very well looked after by her
cheers
