AN EXCITING AND FLEXIBLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE IN CUBA

Transcription

1 AN EXCITING AND FLEXIBLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE IN CUBA The go-as-you-please-open-voucher plan was specially designed for those free spirits who do not want to be bound by an itinerary, but want to stay on a fixed budget. One of the problems encountered when opting for flexibility is uncertainty: not knowing from day to day where to find the appropriate accommodations and more importantly, not knowing how much they will cost. This plan erases the uncertainty. The Open Voucher system was created primarily to provide our visitors a driving adventure with the freedom of choosing at their own will where to stay all over Cuba from an extensive choice of hotels and Villas offered at a very good value. We made a special selection of hotels and Villas standardized at one same value voucher per night including breakfast. How does this plan work? You would calculate how many nights accommodation you would need, and purchase the appropriate number of vouchers for those nights. You could choose just Bed & Breakfast vouchers. Add the applicable costs of each voucher, and you will have your total accommodation costs figured out. You could also mix in stays in Hotels that are not included in the Plan. Does it have any restrictions? Unlike other similar plans, a minimum purchase of nights is not required with our OPEN VOUCHER, and renting a car is optional, although we recommend that you should rent a car. What other charges would I have? There would be very small supplements, for the hotels marked with an X in the list of hotels, you will have to pay a supplement of 4.00 CUC per person per night, all payable locally and directly to the establishments. How are the reservations handled? We recommend that you pre-book your first night so that you can proceed to your accommodations immediately after your arrival. After that, you can call ahead to each establishment to make your booking. How many choices will I have of places to stay? In Cuba, you will have a choice from 50 Bed & Breakfasts from the largest cities to the smallest towns and rural areas. Additionally, there are over 100 Hotels that you can combine but do not participate in the Hotel Voucher program. What information will I have concerning these establishments? Your travel documents will consist of your vouchers as well a detailed directory containing the following information, which you should print from the Internet: Table of Distances between Hotels and Villas included in the Open Voucher program. A Road Guide specially published by our company for our clients when they rent a car. A Directory of hotels including phone number and address. Recommended attractions. In other words, all the information you could possibly need in order to make an informed choice.

2 OPEN VOUCHER CONDITIONS The first night in Cuba can be reserved in advanced with Vacacionar Travel without additional cost. Vacacionar Travel is providing you the Open Voucher together with the rented car of your choice.
