At this point you are probably totally certain that Cuba is the destination that you want to visit for your next long hold destination but perhaps could do with some assistance on the booking side of it . I know this could sound a bit too trivial but you should know few essential tips in order to get the best deal for your holidays in Cuba.

The fact that Cuba is such a magical and increasingly popular destination, presents travel organizers with a real problem . Cuba is definitely not a destination for late bookings, especially if you are travelling in the high season.

The peak or high season in Cuba falls within the months of July and August, the Easter period, Christmas and New Year. November, December, January, February and March are awfully well-liked months especially among the European tourists in search of a warm country to escape from the cloudy skies and the cold weather .

Quite frequently I get customers asking me to sort out an itinerary for them in the above mentioned periods, and every so often the phone call comes to close to the departure date . This is frustrating, equally for the client and myself . For one pure reason, I just can not recommend holiday worth it because all the popular resorts and best hotels are fully booked, and then I am left with the only honest answer I can give. “I am very sorry but at this point there are no hotels available in the areas that you are attracted to”

If you are looking to book something straightforward and simple like a week or two in a beach resort there are more chances of getting a good hotel available . The difficulty presents it self when clients are interested in combining locations like Havana, Viales Valley, Las Terrazas, Cienfuegos, Trinidad and or Santiago de Cuba. cities like these with the exception of Havana are very limited when it comes to accommodation facilities .

If you have your mind set to arrange a tailor made holiday to Cuba in a demanded season my advice to you is to call at least 4 months in advance in order to secure not only the rooms in your preferred hotels but also the best fares from the carriers . If you unfortunately did not read this article before and are planning a last minute tailor made holiday , there is always a possibility to find something available but is not going to be the kind of holiday that we wish for you.

If you go to Cuba in the low season months you could call even few days before your departure date . Even so we feel very confident to put together the kind of itinerary that will fulfil your holidays

I truly hope you have found this information a useful resource and sincerely wish you a fantastic time in Cuba.
