Cuba all inclusive

Only shortage we faced was steak and butter. None anywhere on the island. No other shortage.

We also did site visits on 10+ resorts in Varadero. We wanted to make sure our guests would have a great time.

Everyone had a blast and while not having Surf and Turf for the wedding night, the resort made a wonderful French Chicken breast.

Health insurance
You must show proof of valid health insurance to enter Cuba.

All health insurance policies are recognized in Cuba, except those issued by U.S. insurance companies. However, the Cuban immigration authorities will decide which proof of health insurance is acceptable.

Proof of health insurance may be:

* an insurance policy
* an insurance certificate
* a Canadian provincial health insurance card **

If you don’t have proof of health insurance or if the proof you present doesn’t satisfy the Cuban immigration authorities, you may have to obtain health insurance from a Cuban insurance company upon arrival. This insurance may have limited coverage. Local authorities may refuse your entry to the country.

** Canadian provincial health care coverage provides very limited coverage outside Canada. It won’t pay for medical bills up-front. It does not include air evacuation, and neither does Cuban health insurance.**

Cuban authorities won’t let you leave the country with outstanding medical bills, which are payable by credit card only. You will need to remain in Cuba until all debts are paid.

* Make sure you purchase the best health insurance you can afford
* Ensure the insurance includes medical evacuation and hospital stays

Best to keep expectations low and bring snacks if you go.

She said there were still plenty of options and they never went hungry, but there would be days without bread and not a whole lot of fresh fruit available either. Plenty of rum and beer available too but some other "basics" like mint were missing; one of the bartenders at the resort was bringing in her own mint and simple syrup for mojitos (and consequently raking in the tips).

She went in with low expectations and ultimately was not disappointed, especially given the low price.
