? Calling North America from Cuba

Hello fellow travelers!

We are traveling to Cuba for a week-long all-inclusive vacation at the
Breezes Jibacoa resort near Varadero and need to keep in touch with our
family back home in Canada. I suspect that calling overseas long distance
from the hotel will be very expensive and that the hotel may even charge us
for incoming long-distance calls. Is there a relatively inexpensive
alternative for calling Canada from Cuba?

Any suggestions from those who have "been there, done that" will be greatly
appreciated!
