Cuba Vacations for Families

When to go. Although May to October is tempting as it is the lower season and deals to Cuba are plenty, it is also the hurricane season, avoid Xmas and New Years as everything is at a premium and there are no real deals to be had. January to April is the optimum time to travel as you avoid holiday traffic, the rainy season and the prices are still very affordable.

Where to go. There are many resort areas in Cuba but for families, I would recommend Varadero or Holguin. Varadero is the main tourist area of Cuba and has the most to offer in the way of family activities. Day trips can be arranged to other areas of the island that offer an entire selection of land and water activities.

Where to stay. There are many all inclusive resorts in Cuba that are family friendly and have rooms large enough for families of 4. Hotel chains such as Paradisus, Melia, Iberostar, and Beaches offer either a supervised Kid's Camp or a full range of activities for the Kid's to keep them occupied and to give Mom and Dad a break. Many of these hotels also offer kids stay and eat free deals through certain tour operators.

What to do. Besides the traditional water sports, activities, and entertainment around the resort, Cuba has a whole world of adventure off the resort, hiking, biking, swim with dolphins, sailing, snorkeling and a host of outdoor activities await you family at every part of the island. Sightseeing in Havana, Cienfuegos, Camaguey and Santiago bring plenty of family bonding opportunities and have plenty of museums detailing the culture and history of the island. Cuba also is home to some of the best nature reserves and Natural Parks in the Caribbean that are teeming with flora and fauna for photography lovers. UNESCO has designated many parts of Cuba as heritage sites and are perfect for the natural history lovers.

What to expect. A family vacation in Cuba or for that matter, any vacation is what you make of it. The beauty of Cuba is that it can be as quiet and relaxing as you want but there is such a vast selection of activities and adventure that you can also be occupied and active 24/7. Overall, you can expect perfect beaches, friendly locals, hot sunny weather, smiles on the kid's faces and memories that will last a lifetime.

When planning your next trip, remember that family vacations are Cuba Vacations.
