Large Marge Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I can get an all-inclusive package to Varadero for myself at $720, or for two at $1,132. That's less than $600 each (and I haven't even Price Bashed it yet!). Check in at Varadero, drain the mini-bar and bus to Havana (for $12), stay at a Paladar for $20 a night and hit the Clubs! There are only 2 ticketed events as far as I can tell and the rest is a major Jazz free-for-all… in the streets, in the clubs, in the hotels... Wherever! Then, when it wraps on the 4th I was thinking about renting a bike and touring back to tour back to Varadero across the countryside. Any takers?

Patchoulia Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Cuba? Not even remotely tempting when you consider the fact that I'll be cavorting on the balmy beaches of Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Large Marge Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Holy sheet! We'll actually be in Veradero this weekend as well! Nice to hear there's a jazz fest going on. Good timing! Beware that Varadero's a gated community and none of the locals are allowed in... Make sure you get into Havana if you want to see some real local music. Here's a link for the (sparce) details Havana Jazz Fest and another site and this one should help you find a room (not that you'll need help... just ask anyone you meet!) Casa Particulars I'm still looking for a partner in crime... need to book tomorrow if at all. C'mon kids; I've now found a package for $1100... that's only $550 each!

boogieknight Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 my parents went last year and said it was kind of shady. Almost all of the 'famous' performers on the list weren't there and the sound/production of the shows was not the best. That being said it is cuba and they had a good time and got to hear some good local music but the festival itself was not as advertised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
