US Sanctions & OFAC Compliance

CubaGetaway.com does NOT provide OFAC compliance advice. We are not attorneys, we are not licensed compliance specialists, and nothing on this website should be relied upon for determining your eligibility to travel to Cuba under US sanctions law.

Any information published on this website regarding the 12 authorized travel categories (general licenses), the "Support for the Cuban People" general license, spending restrictions, prohibited accommodations, prohibited transactions, or any other aspect of US-Cuba sanctions is provided as a general summary of publicly available information for awareness purposes only. This information:

• May be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurately summarized
• Does not constitute a legal interpretation of OFAC regulations
• Does not constitute a compliance determination for your specific circumstances
• Does not account for regulatory changes that may have occurred since publication
• May not apply to your specific nationality, itinerary, spending plans, or activities

You are solely and exclusively responsible for your own OFAC compliance. Before traveling to Cuba as a US person, you must:

• Consult the official OFAC website at ofac.treas.gov for current regulations
• Review the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (31 CFR Part 515) directly
• Consider retaining a licensed US attorney with experience in OFAC/sanctions compliance
• Contact OFAC directly if you have questions about specific license categories
• Understand that OFAC regulations change and that published general license categories may be modified, expanded, or revoked at any time

CubaGetaway.com, its operators, Blue Mar Group, and all contributors expressly disclaim any and all liability for OFAC violations, civil penalties, criminal prosecution, asset forfeiture, or any other consequences arising from any individual's or entity's travel to Cuba or any other dealings with Cuba.

Travel Information Accuracy

Cuba's economy, infrastructure, and travel environment are subject to rapid and unpredictable change. The practical details of traveling in Cuba — including prices, costs, exchange rates, business hours, service availability, transportation options and schedules, hotel availability, and restaurant operations — can and do change frequently, sometimes overnight.

We make no warranty, express or implied, that any specific price, cost estimate, exchange rate, business hour, availability of services, or any other practical detail mentioned on this website is current, accurate, or applicable at the time of your travel.

Factors that frequently cause information to become outdated include:

• Cuba's dual and informal currency systems, which are subject to ongoing change
• US sanctions modifications that affect permissible spending and accommodations
• Fuel and supply shortages affecting transportation and business operations
• Political developments in Cuba or between Cuba and the United States
• Natural disasters, infrastructure failures, and other unforeseen events
• Seasonal changes, business closures, and changes in ownership or management
• Changes to airline routes, ferry services, and other transportation options

Always verify current conditions from multiple up-to-date sources — including official Cuban government tourism agencies, airlines, accommodations, and fellow travelers with recent firsthand experience — before finalizing any travel plans.

Health & Safety

Nothing on this website constitutes medical advice. Any health-related information published on CubaGetaway.com — including information about vaccinations, food and water safety, sun safety, medical facilities, medications, or health conditions — is provided for general informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider or travel medicine specialist before traveling to Cuba, particularly regarding:

• Required or recommended vaccinations
• Medications appropriate for your destination and activities
• Pre-existing medical conditions that may be affected by travel to Cuba
• Food, water, and environmental health precautions
• Tropical disease risks and prevention

Travel insurance is your sole responsibility. We strongly encourage all travelers to obtain comprehensive travel insurance — including medical evacuation coverage — before traveling to Cuba. CubaGetaway.com does not provide, endorse, or guarantee any specific travel insurance product.

Safety information published on this website — including crime awareness tips, road safety guidance, natural disaster preparedness, and general security advice — represents general suggestions based on publicly available information only. These are not guarantees of safety and may not reflect current conditions. CubaGetaway.com is not responsible for any theft, robbery, accident, injury, illness, property damage, or any other harm experienced during your travel to Cuba or while using information from this website.

Financial Information

Nothing on this website constitutes financial advice. All budget estimates, daily cost breakdowns, sample itinerary budgets, money-saving tips, and financial planning information published on CubaGetaway.com is approximate and is based on conditions, exchange rates, and pricing that existed at or near the time of writing.

Financial conditions in Cuba are subject to significant volatility and rapid change:

• Exchange rates — Cuba's currency situation is complex and changes frequently. The official rate, informal rates, and rates available to tourists may differ substantially.
• Pricing — Prices for accommodation, food, transportation, and activities can increase significantly and without warning. USD pricing versus peso pricing can vary dramatically for the same goods or services.
• Payment methods — The availability of credit cards, ATMs, and other payment methods for US travelers is subject to US sanctions regulations and changes without notice.
• Cash availability — Accessing cash in Cuba can be difficult. Budget estimates for cash needs may not reflect actual conditions during your visit.

We make no guarantee that following any budget guidance on this website will be sufficient for your actual travel needs. Always bring more money than you think you need and have contingency plans in place. CubaGetaway.com is not responsible for any financial loss, hardship, or emergency arising from travelers running out of funds or relying on inaccurate budget information from this website.
