Hotels in Cuba are government-run, which means renovations are few and far between. As for the guesthouses (casas) we use, they are much nicer than your average Cuban dwelling, but keep in mind that each and every room is unique. These rooms may also be quite different than what you’re used to back home. That said, regardless of where you stay, power cuts, patchy wi-fi and breaks in hot water are sometimes unavoidable, as in any developing country. To help set your expectations correctly, please read the ‘Accommodation’ section of the Essential Trip Information. Internet in Cuba can also be scarce, unreliable and expensive. Treat this trip as a holiday from emails and social media. Cuba is different, and that's a big part of its allure, but it’s not a luxury destination. Things don't always go according to plan, and many things don't work the same way as back home. Patience and good humour will go a long way in this beautiful country. Cuba experiences significant electricity problems, so power outages are common. It’s recommended you travel with a flashlight. It’s also recommended you bring ear plugs as the walls are thin. Your accommodations on this trip will likely have stairs with no elevators, so keep in mind that you’ll be taking the stairs more often than not. If you’re concerned about mobility, let your booking agent know and we can try to accommodate you with rooms closer to the ground level if possible.
